BACKWARD POTATO CHOP
COLD WEATHER DELAYS THE GROWTH In a report on the northern potato and onion crop. 11. 11. Battle, lad., of Bukekohe, states that as a result of the cold winter so far experienced all growth is behind. In addition, the recent frosts—the most severe for the last 20 years— have damaged 75 per cl nt. of the crops and will definitely further delay digging for two or three weeks, thus crowding into late October or early November. Supplies at the end of October and early November will therefore apparently he heavy and will consist of mixed quality, including the retarded crops and the normal crops.
