Abstract
THE average potato crop of Great Britain is a little over 2 million tons, and that of Ireland a little under this figure. Great Britain and Ireland together contribute rather less than 5 per cent. of the world's crop of 9I½ million tons. In normal years the British Isles grow nearly, or quite, enough potatoes to satisfy home needs. Accessory supplies are, however, derived from the Channel Islands, Normandy, Brittany, and other sources.
