Wide Variance in
Cost of Potatoes
Study Carried on by Depart-
ment of Agriculture in Big
Producing States.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Yield per acre is the principal cause
of variation in the cost of producing
potatoes, the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture points out in a
cost study In important potato pro-
ducing sections of Minnesota, Wis.
consin, Michigan, New York, and
Maine. The survey dealt with costs in
1019, but the conclusions drawn are
generaily applicable to other years,
Farmers who received
130 bushels of potatoes per acre pro-
duced them at an average of 72 cents
while those who had a yield of less
than 70 bushels had an average cost
per bushel of £1.49. The cost per
bushel of potatoes grown on 461 farms
ranged from 80 cents to $2.45, with
most farms producing at a cost of
$1 or less per bushel.
Important Cost
Man and horse labor were the most
important {items of in areas
studied in Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Michigan, and New York, whereas
commercial fertilizer was the
item of cost In Aroostook

Cattle-Tick Eradication
Now Possible Anywhere
Experience shows that It Is possible
to eradicate cattle-fever ticks any-
where, even on swampy, brushy, free.
range land, asserts the United States
Department of Agriculture in an ex.
hibit panel recently prepared for dis
play In tick-infested localities,
To convince the skeptical observer,
the department shows a picture of
such land, where eradication was ac
complished and which has been free
from ticks ever since. The average
observer might think it futile to at.
tempt tick eradication in a region such
as pletured. The grass often swarms
with young ticks.
Dipping cattle, however, kills the
ticks before they develop to the repro-
ductive stage, and ticks that do not
get on cattle die In a few months,
Thus the eattlefever tick becomes ex-
tinet in one season in localities that
sonduct thorough systematic dipping.
Candle Eggs Before

Plan Will Eliminate Bad
(Prepared by the Unlied Siates Department
of Agriculture.)
Eggs shipped in interstate commerce
should be carefully candled by ship
pers, in order to eliminate those that
are bad or that may spoil en route, say
officials of the bureau of chemistry,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, who are charged with the. en-
forcement of the federal food and
drugs act. Shipments containing eggs
which have yolks stuck to the shell,
moldy eggs, black spots, addled eggs,
amy any other eggs which are filthy,
decomposed or putrid are in violation
of the law.
Federal food Inspectors have been
instructed to give particular attention
to shipments of eggs during the warn
months of spring and summer to see
that the channels of Interstate
