            Dell Penney says one day last week he took in 93 loads of potatoes – 4,650 bushels.  Tuesday he brought 81 loads – 4,050 bushels.  He has averaged 3000 bushels per day for the last fifteen days and shipped fifty cars from Jan. 28 to Feb. 6.  As Walter Baldwin’s record is about the same besides quite a number purchased by some other buyers the reader can get some idea of the business.
