WAUPACA IN THE LEAD

Produces More Potatoes According to Acreage Planted.

Waupaca produces more potatoes according to the acreage planted than any other county in the state. Portage county has a larger acreage but a large part of Portage county potatoes is marketed in Waupaca. The Stevens Point Journal has published the prices in January and April during the past ten years and the fact is brought to light that the market for the same weeks in Waupaca is always a trifle higher. Thus accounting for the fact that Waupaca ships a very large percentage of the potatoes grown in this section.
