has steadily increased and it has now
become the cause of great loss in the

United States. The estimated loss 1t
caused along the Atlantic coast States
in 1899 is estimated at $3,OOO,OOO and
in 1900 this had reached 100000 by

Quality of Potatoes.


The demand for quality is by no
means confined to fruit, as many farm
ers think. One might say the consumer
has no means of knowing if Il certain
variety of potato is likely to cook up
mealy or be soggsy. and that is true so
far as the appearance of the tuber goes,
but here is the way the consumer treats
the matter: He gets Il small supply OF
potatoes from the grocer and finds
them soggy and tasteless. The next
time he goes to the grocer he tells him
in unmistakable terms that nc more
potatoes like the last are wanted. The
grocer i'll turn lays down the law to the
commission man from whom he buys,
who i'll turn looks up the source of sup
ply, and either writes the grower that
no more of the variety should be sent
or says nothing and sells them to whom
he a at any price he can. Thus the
producer pays the penalty for not tax
ing quality into consideration in potato
growing. Test varieties in the soil you
intend to use, and know what you are
doing. If the soil is sandy or gravelly
loan and the plot has the proper care,
there is no trouble in producing quail
ity.

And the meadow laris and robins on the

Till the forest shades behind them with
