POTATOES MAY DISAPPEAR.
Expert Thinks That Radical Changes
Will Have to be Made.

Eugene H. Grubb, potato expert,
says that the entire country will. with
in few years be practically without
potatoes, providing radical changes are
not made i'll the present methods OF
their cultivation.
Mr.. Grubb has visited many foreign
countries as potato expert III behalf
of the United States government and
is generally accepted as authority on
the question of potato culture.
He says there is an actual decrease
of IS per cent i'll the crop throughout
the States, the reason being the farm
ers' neglect in not allowing the soil
to rest once in while" and the fail
ure to remedy the yearly disease which
Is becoming alarmingly more preva-
lent.
Five years ago 10000 varieties OF po-
tatoes were grown in the United
States. and through the government
elimination process, there will be only
about 1000 varieties i'll one year from
now. 5000 varieties already having
been eliminated. The United States
government has appointed Mr.. Grubb
special representative to an agricul
tural congress at Rome next May, he
already holding a position as potato
expert for the Hartman lines.
Mr.. Grubb, who has been in Salt
Lake for a short time, is now in Cali

NEW QUALITY OF POTATOES
The Melted Gem Finest Spud Grown
in Mason Valley.

The Melted Gem is the name of a
new potato that was imported into thu
valley in 1910 from Minnesota by
George Barrett, who has a fine little
truck ranch few miles south OF Yer
ington. In 1910 Mr.. Barrett grew
a few hundred pounds OF these pota
toes. The next year he grew more a
the demand for them lar exceeded the
supply OF the season. Last year he
grew a still larger tonnage and has
had no trouble in disposing OF the
spuds at two cents a pound. They are
the most delicious potato the writer
ever ate. and we have been using them
at all times when they could be secur
cd. even il the price is a little higher
than for ordinary spuds. No matter
how you cook them they are the Hut
fest and mcaliest thing we have ever
seen in the shape of potato, and they
have flavor all their own, Mr. Bar
rett says they are also great producers
as he has secured sixteen tons OF hne
marketable potatoes OF this variety
from an acre of ground. 1t seems to
us that this would be a mighty good
variety of spuds to introduce in this
valley on larger scale. They VIII
certainly brine a better price than the
ordinary kind and their productive
ness is another point in their favor
Mr.. Barrett has a few tons of these
seed potatoes which he will dispose
of, to those who desire to try them al
a reasonable price. Those who wisl,
TO improve their potato business and
increase their profits should not hest
tate to try this variety.
