POTATOES, PRICES AND BUYERS

 

            Potato prices range this week from 25 to 30 cents, according to stock. Now that the frost has killed the vines, digging will commence in earnest.  There will be lots of good potatoes and some poor ones, but the latter will probably find their way to the starch factories.  It is impossible to say now just what the ruling market will be for the late fall and winter.  There will be plenty of buyers in this market and the probability is the Waupaca market will give the farmer all the tubers will stand.  The following is the list at present:  A.M. Penney, P.M. Olfson; Waupaca Starch & Potato Co., L.N. Starke, T.H. Cochran & Co., Hans Ebby, T.H. Penney, H. Steadman and Son,. Mortenson & Nelson, all having warehouses and side tracks.
