An experienced potato dealer says
potato growers would get better
prices, and help themselves and deal
ers more, If they took more pains
with the product. In the first place, If
they consulted buyers, they would
learn something about the kinds de-
manded by the market. After that
comes the question of appearance. A
better price Is obtained for even
grades. How the potatoes will taste,
or keep, will not be of as much i'm:
