Dutch Good Potato Raisers.

The potato crop of Holland is in
creasing rapidly both in the amount
OF land cultivated and yield per acre
The expansion of the potato industry
is credited to the use of drained peat
land for the crop and the application

orally sprayed for potato blight, but
the potato insects do not seem to give
