Prices Low Again More than Half Oneida County Farmers Dependent of Crop. fminly Afioni Harvey L.

Becker. in an interview today, said that Oiififlii county arc facing I mild financial crisis this winter because of a 40 per cent failure in IIif potato yield this fall. While conditions in Oneida county do not approach in severity those in Portage. Wavipaca and Waushara enmities, where a 15 per cent yield was reported this fall, a yield of only 60 per cent in this county, he siiid, will work a considerable hardship on the farmers in the vicinity nf Rhinelander. Normal production of an acre to potatoes.

Becker explained, ranges from 90 to 112 bushels. This year's yield on most one notable be ap- i jirnximately 60 or 70 bushels per JKTC. i Prices Are Low. I Furthermore. Becker said, prices i "nre extremely low.

While the qual- ''ity of potatoes produced in Oneida I have on inspection proved to be of excellent grade, they will bring only about 50 cents per ICO on the market. That this combination of below yield and below average; rprices will mean a period of finan- cinl stringency in rural Oneida rcounty is evident, because more 'than half the farmers in this area i almost entirely dependent for existence on their income from Ihe potato crop. i The one notable exception to the general condition of below average yield this year is the farm of Miss Leila Starks, near Starks, i Becker said. 400 Acres in Spuds. Miss Starks has 400 acres sown to potatoes and has a yield which is! normal or even above normal be-! cause of her use of irrigation on the i crop.

This one farm produces more po- tatoes than some 50 or 60 other -Oneida county farmers the agent declared. The fact that the yield on the Starks farm is i high tends to counter-balance the low yield of the remaining ers. when it comes to statistics. Viewed on a basis of averages, the yield for the county would not seem so sub-normal, Becker said, but this is due principally to the fact that £, the fruitful Starks acea raises the average for the others and hides the true condition of things.
