Overview

Excerpt from Bulletin, 1929 On the other hand, in New England as a whole, approximately 50 per cent. Has been added to the total production in the last 25 years and 10 per cent. To the area devoted to potatoes. In 1904 New England had acres and a production of bushels. In 1928 a total of acres produced bushels. In northeastern United States (new England plus New York and Pennsylvania) acres in 1904 produced 102 mil lion bushels, while acres in 1928 produced 101 million bushels. The reduction in area in New Hampshire is an attempt at readjustment resulting from a variety of causes. The area in farms has decreased reducing the tillable area. The larger area in potatoes in other regions has partly taken care of the greater demands of increased population. Better methods have so improved yields that the smaller area in New Hampshire has produced nearly as large a total yield. Lower prices following the war removed much of the incentive to produce a crop involving so much labor and risk. The competition with machine raised potatoes of nearby regions has meant greater marketing difficulties with poorer graded potatoes in less than carlots from smaller growers.
