The planting of potatoes in Southland is now well ahead, although there remains a fair proportion still to be sown. The results of the past season have not been very encouraging to the potato growers, but the prospects for this season appear to be much brighter. On the likelihood of finding a market in Australia, the quantity grown last season vas greater than usual, but the expected export did not materialise, and a certain percentage of the crop was wasted. Although prices, for the coming season cannot be forecast, it at least appears that all the potatoes grown will go into consumption.
