EMMMMMMMMMmMMMMRM DISQUALIFICATION

ior quality can best be produced. He
declares that soil and climatic con-
ditions inevitably point to Idaho as
the spot where alone this prospec-
lively large demand can be filled.
He said
With present methods the non
irrigated surplus-producing states Of
the northern border are not increas-
ing their potato surplus. From lack
of knowledge of soil fertility and
crop rotation, and not producing nor
using good seed stocks, and because
prevalence of diseases, these states
are decreasing in their product in the
exact ration that the population is
increasing.
Therefore, the responsibility Of
producing the potatoes for the entire
United States rests on Colorado and
Idaho Colorado can increase her
total product materially, but yet that
increase will be immaterial in COM
parison with the large development
of this business that may be effected
in Idaho. And with a proper know
ledge of scientific potato work. among
the farmers of the Gem State, it will
soon become the premier among the
raisers of this staple food of all the
nation.
MY reasons for these conclusions
are that by the time the irrigation
systems of this state are matured
there will be approximately 100000
acers of land which will be adaptable
to potato culture; and a conservative
estimate shows that, with a proper
system of crop rotation, there will be
potatoes in these acres to the ex~
tent of One-third their area, or ,00O,-
600 acres. These acres will average
yielding 300 bushels per acre, an / a
total of 3O,OOO,00O bushels annually,
which is in excess of the confined
output of the entire United States
at this time.
"Where the excess of potatoes pro-
duced shall go when Idaho shall have
attained it's premier position in the
potato world that is expected, is on
first consideration a mystery but
when the fact is considered that the
southern states and Mexico is rapid
" increasing their demands for
potatoes, there is abundant evidence
to show that these countries are go
ing to open up large markets for
surpluses that may be available for
them in this country. Neither in
the south nor in Cuba can they raise
spuds, and at the same time the peo-
pie throughout these esctions con-
slider potatoes a great luxury, and are
always willing to pay high prices for
good qualities.
ut may be news to some people 10
read that potatoes are natural hab-
itators of high attitudes and northern
ATTITUDES: and while in southern
climes spuds can be grown, they can-
not re kept for future use and must
be Immediately consumed. This FACE
eliminates the southern states and
Cuba from ever entering the potato
market. even locally"
