URGE MINIMUM PRICE BE MADE $1.50 Want Protection Loss in Potato Crop. Growers The Connecticut Vegetable Growers Association of which F. E. Peckham of this city is vice president, have sent the following lctter to the secretary of agriculture at Washington D. C. The press has stated that there.is the possibility of a minimum price per bushel being set upon potatoes by.the jGovernment. The Connecticut Vege- table Growers’ Association, through its executive committee in special sessiom, Agriculture, if given autherity, to set upon potatoes purchased from a minimum_price of $1.50 per bushel growers. We request your ald in se- curing the adoption of this minimum price. The reason for this request is the high cost of production per acre, as'indicated below: Land rent or in- terest $15; seel $35; fertilizers $32; $10; digging and marketing $30, total $136. The average vield of potatoes _in this state is only about ninety-five bushels per acre .and the average price received for ten years has been about $80 per acre. Such average vields and prices this vear _would mean a considerable Jloss to the at the present ecost ‘of ‘pro- duction. The growers .of Commecticut will do’ their utmost to relieve the present food situation and plant to the limit of their ability to care for the crop; but they do not wish to face the situation of producing a crop at an unusual cost .and then In case ' of over production or speculation etc., be obliged to sacrifice the crop.at léss than cost, as has sometimés ‘occurfed.
