The large. low-priced carryover of old spuds. the increas ed plantings in the south which will force the California 'deal into lo cal plantings in the south which will force the California deal into local markets, the decreased gen eral purchasing power and the pros pect for increased local plantings will all have a depressing effect, it is pointed out. The committee which has. been studying the potato trend with the idea of being able to advise the growen consists of Byron Baker, Pasco; M. W. Hudnali, Kennewick; c. F. Fletcher; Richland; 8. V.
