got an attachment for diggers that ele.
Yates the potatoes into baskets; but il
is not always practical to use it, as they
should lie on the ground until the skin
has hardened and we'll dried.
In 1908, the firm of J. H. Pifer G. Co.
was formed for the purpose of raising
and dealing in potatoes. They erected
warehouse, with storage capacity
of 10000 bushels. In the warehouses
as in the field everything is done by
machinery. 1t is said to be the most
convenient potato warehouse in exist
ence. It was planned entirely by Mr..
Pifer. In 1909 this firm erected an ad-
ditional warehouse, wi tn a capacity of
10O,0 900 bushels. The potatoes are load
ed on hay racks in bushel baskets, and
when brought to the warehouses, they
are run over screens to sift out the
small potatoes. From the screens they
are run into conveyors which carries
them to the pit. Men sit by the side
of the conveyor, and pick out any i'm
perfect potatoes or any that are not
true to the variety. The seed potatoes
should be sorted very carefully. At the
big warehouse, eight wagons can be un-
loaded at one time.
These two warehouses do not begin to
handle all the potatoes produced here.
In addition, during October and Novem-
ber of this year, 108 car loads were
shipped from this station alone, and
there were thousands of bushels more
stored in cellars and pits.
We have to learn by experience. One
great need has been clearly demonstrat-
ed. We should have potato growers
association, to look after the interests
Of the producers. 1t will not do to
trust commission men. When we ship
through commission men, they have
everything in their own hands, and
they will send back just what they feel
they can spare from their business and
keep themselves out of Jail. For in
stance, the firm of which the writer is
a member, shipped small carload of
between 500 and 600 bushels, and got
returns for $50 bushels. We felt CRATE
full that they did not send for money to
pay the freight. Those who accompany
their potatoes to market, will realize
from ten to twenty cents per bushel
more than those who trust commission
men. BY uniting we could employ a
man t o look after our interests n
the different markets, and could afford
to employ good one, and. pay him a
good salary. When the farmers learn
to cooperate in such matters, as they
do in Germany, Denmark and Holland,
there will not be 80 many leeches fat
tening on their blood. It is estimated
