for that year that when large tubers

about twice as large as was the value
Of the crop when small tubers were

in 1909. The large tubers used for
seed were very large. and many OF
the small tubers were large enough

The tubers we're valued at thirty
cents per bushel at planting time. and
at one dollar per bushel at digging

highest obtainable. while in the fall
