Best Kind of Potatoes for Wisconsin.

''As regards the varieties Of potatoes
now grown, the mixture Of type due to
the dissemination Of local varieties has
resulted detrimentally to the seed trade
and commercial table stock, says MIR.
J. G. Miward Of the College Of Agri-
culture of the University of Wisconsin.
"The standard varieties raised com
mercially in Wisconsin include the Ru-
raj New Yorker, Burbank, Peerless,
Late, Carman No. 3, and Sir Walter
Raleigh. The standard early varieties
embrace the Early Ohio, Rose and
Triumph. Among the late varieties
the shipments Of the long white Bur
bank are often mixed with initiative
types as the Late Pride and White
Star.
I'm the case Of the early varieties
the Early Rose especially is badly
mixed with pink or rose colored varie-
ties such as the Houlton Rose, King,
etc.
"The large commission houses Of the
middle west agree that it is the substi-
tuition Of these varieties for the stand
ard types that is the most injurious
factor in lowering the quality Of the
commercial stock shipped from Miscon-
sin Minnesota and Michigan.
"There is apparently no reason to
believe otherwise than that Wisconsin
stock, if properly assorted and graded,
can average as high in quality and ap-
nearance as shipments from the inn
portant potato centers Of Maine and
New York.
