Of all the New England states Con-
necticut is the only one that makes a
pretense at growing sweet‘ potatoes
and yams. although theI3l6 bushels of
“meties'i- raised in 1919 hardly suf-
flced to satisfy the. thousands at Con-
necticut clambakes. The yield in 1919
was quite a. drop from the 4,133
bushels raised in this state in 1909.
according to the 1920 census figures,
for the census sleuths of the depart:
ment of commerce found only nine)
acres thus cultivated in 19198.3 against
Iorty—one acres in 1909.
No Peanuts Here at All!
Rhode Island was the only other
New England state that grew sweet
potatoes in 1919, accordin‘g t. the re-
port. but only eleven bushels were
harvested. As to growing peanuts
Connecticut was alone of all the New
England states which did not report
even a. part of an acre devoted to the
raising of‘ this fruit or vegetable,
Whatever it is. Massachusetts and
New Hampshire raised sixty bushels
of peanuts and one bushel respective-
1y.
Spuds Aplenty.
But when it comes to regular pota~
ties, the. Irish or white variety of
“spuds.” New England is there, es-
pecially Maine, which leads as it does
in prohibition. etc. ‘Vith a production
of 25.531.470 bushels in 1919. Maine
ranked near the top among the potato
raising states of the 1' nited States. But
the 1919 production was approximate—
ly 3..000 000 bushels less than the
3909 yield That was due to the de-
crease in the number of acres given
over to potato growing.
Average Decrease.
In Connecticut 18. 300 acres yieldcl
t1, 372,449 bushels of potatoes in 1919.
against 2.3 950 acres und 2..684 414
bushels in 1909. The decrease in the
acreage was true of all the New Eng-
land states. The following table for
the whole county shows the, change-1
