To tho Editor. Sir, —I notice in to-day’s Dominion (August 23rd) that there is a prosper, of the embargo being removed on Sev. Zealand-grown potatoes. That will no: be good news for the consumer if tli ■ following is any criterion. .1 purchased some potatoes last week from a store in the district (where things arc supposed to be cheap, and where they should be, considering that it is ne.\; door to the railway station and yoi. take your purchases with you) and i was charged at the rate of .Is for 81b—and by the way they were not all good ones either. Last week in South Can terbury potatoes were being quoted a! £2 10s to £2 15s per ton on trucks Now, Sir, if the embargo is remove 1 prices arc sure to rise and the honieb “spud” will be a luxury—in this district at any rate. —Thanking you in anticipat ion, yours,, etc., “SPUDS.” To Horn, August 2<stli, 1920.
