Moorhead News
SPUD EXPERTS
IN MOORHEAD
TWO OFFICIAL POTATO MEN ARE
MAKING AN INVESTIGATION OF
THE PoTAo CROP IN CLAY AND
OTHER COUNTIES ON THIS SEC
TON OF THE NORTHWEST.

With two official potato experts in
the city today, Professor Corbett of
the potato and vegetable bureau of the
United States agricultural department
and Professor Koehler of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota the question OF the
potato crop in Clay and other counties
In the southern part of the Red river
valley was in the limelight in Moor
head today. " s.
1t was the intention of the gentlemen
to take a drive over the potato area
with Leslie Welter, today, but the bad
condition of, the roads and the extreme
ly wet condition OF the fields preclud-
ed a journey of that character. When
Mr.. Welter was advised by wire, late
last Saturday afternoon, that the gen
tlemen were coming he answered by
telling them of the conditions and
suggested some other day, but it APP
pears that today was the only one
available for a visit from Professor
Corbett and so they arrived this morn
ing to have a conference, If nothing
else.
Referring to the condition of the
weather, Mr.. Welter said this morning
that the rain last night has still further
delayed the picking of potatoes and he
added that If this late rain is the end
of the rainy season it. will take at
least a week for the fields to dry out
SO that successful potato picking can
be resumed. 49,.
Mr.. Welter. said that the order Of
quarantine issued Friday by the de-
nartment of agriculture against "com-
mon or Irish potatoes from New
fou%ndland, the islands of ST.. Pierre
and Miquelon. Great Britain, includ-
ing England, Scotland, Wales and Ire
land, Germany and Austria-HungarV,
which was to become effective imme-
diately, would prove a benefit to the
American potato market generally, the
growers in the Red river valley in
cluded. Just what effect the delay
in marketing the Clay county output
this year., that is the eating stock,
will be remains to be seen, 'bur Mr..
Welter says he is inclined 10 take an
optimistic view OF the situation. The
quarantining Of foreign potatoes, as
stated, will help some as with the
large supply in this country last year
there were 80, 600, 600 bushels imported.
At present only about 200 cars have
been shipped from the Clay county
potato fields SO far.
