To develop this industry the Colo

March twenty-five potato institutes
on a special train furnished by the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad. br
The train will consist of baggage

the baggage car will be carried all
implements and machinery needed in
Colorado for raising potatoes-sort-
ers, seed cutters. planters, special
cultivators. ridging and ditching
machines and diggers. Plans will
be shown and charts, photographs
and actual specimens of the diseases
Of potatoes.
3 Exhibits will be made showing the
types of potatoes which bring the
highest prices in the market and of
potatoes having various defects
which lower their price in the mar

The Agriculture college will send
six lecturers with the train. These
will include expert Investigators
from the experiment station and
practical potato growers who have
