' 1 WESTERN POTATOES PLENTIFUL The Crop In the Kaw Valley is of Slammoth Proportion*. The potato crop in the Kaw Valley this year promises to eclipse the mammoth crops of former years. In fact, potato growers soy' it will be the biggest crop ever hoard of. There are 75,000 acres of potatoes in the Kaw Valley between Kansas City, Kan., and Topeka, which, it is believed, will average eishty bushels to the acre, the yield in some instance being as high hs 125 bushels. The \ only thing that is worrying the potato grow- ] era is the price. If they can get a fair price theyjwlll make plenty of money.but If only a small price is realized their returns will ba no more satisfactory than in former years. I Some large shipments were made to the South. The weather has been so dry in sections of the South, particularly in Texas, that the orop has been almost a failure. There is also a demand from Montana,which turned out a large crop last year. About 200 cars of Kaw Valley potatoes were shipped last week. THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
