Unanimously adopted at a potato
convention held at Pocatello, Idaho,
August 80, 1913, with five accred-
tied representatives Of the N. P. F.
D present. and also delegates rep
resenting potato organizations con-
trolling approximately $500 carloads
Because of the lateness OF the sea-
son 1t was thought wise by the Of
flcers of the N. P. F. D. to accept
these grade rules for 1913, andAto
postpone until next season a gen.
eral convention from the four states
to determine a more permanent
grade and pack.
Potatoes shall be sold In two
grades, as follows:
Blue Grade, Fancy.
Extra Selected Grade, Boxed.
BLUE GRADE Shall be OF one
variety, free from mixture in each
sack ,ound. clean. same to be grad
ed over rs screen, for round and
similar varieties to rurals; IA inch
for long Burbank type. This grade
shall not contain over 5 per cent
cut or irregular shape, or growths,
and extra effort must be made, and
In no instance positively shall there
be over 10 per cent scab, and prac-
tically no second growth. The av-
age of this grade is to be as leni-
ent and at the same time exact on
on all growers, but every man
should strive to increase the, quail
ity Of this grade by careful grading
and sorting, az the reputation OF
northwestern potatoes will be es-
tablished In great many markets
that they have heretofore unknown.
This grade to be sacked In uniform
bags well filled, and in the mouth
OF eachsack is to be placed card
board, color blue. size 4x9 inches.

In my opinion, this is an exceptionally
good year to buy breeding ewes. and
they will show handsome profit to the
parties that can grow them until next
season. They are much cheaper than
they would have been. on account of the
drouth IN the west. If you and your
friend can use deck, can make the
price exceptionally attractive.
