WARNS AGAINST POOR
SEED FOR POTATOES
Expert Says Impostors Are
Distributing Rank and
Diseased Tubers.

Rankly inferior so-caIled seed pota.
toes have been shipped into the central
part Of the state and placed on sale,
and Prof. J, c. Hogenson Of the Agri-
cultural college is warning farmers
against the purchase of the scrubby
tubers for seed purposes, no matter
what may be the recommendations pre-
sented hy would be perpetrators of the
imposition.
"These potatoes" said Professor
Hogenson yesterday evening, "are
about the size Of marbles, scrubby, IT
regular in shape, and in fact, are moth
ing but the culls and nubbins hitherto
found unstable. II is said by their
vendors that these potatoes were
planted late and were grown especially
for seed purposes. Such an assertion
is ridiculous.
"Small, irregular. immature potatoes
come from poor plants, and from plants
that are degenerating and low in vital
ity. If these potatoes are planted the
poor quality will appear in the progeny
to great extent with each succeeding
generation, and the crop will get poorer
each year
"The seed potatoes referred to are
badly mixed-that is. there are several
one. They are also badly affected with
potato scab. These are both good Tea-
sons why these potatoes should not be
planted. Potatoes affected with ,pota-
to scab should never be planted, no
matter what their size. If these he
planted in clean ground they will dis.
tribute the disease on the land and
cause future potato crops to become
affected -
Professor Hogenson has samples OF
these inferior ''seed' potatoes on ex-
hibition at his office in the Vermont
building, and he desires to make urgent
nnncal 10 the farmers not to buy them.

remarkab BILE for its brevity. no reason be-
ing assigned for the action. With equal
brevity and without discussion. the com
mission accepted the resignation, cffec-
tive April 20.
Reasons Are Given.
Judge Varian dictated the following
statement after learning that his resig-
nation had been accepted:
