large enough to leave the full-grown
to prevent the band or the string
from slipping upward. When clusters
are bagged, 1t is a good plan to
leave several other clusters on the
same vine without any bagging, SO
that the stage of development may
be observed. Unbagged fruit will
usually ripen few days earlier than
that which is covered.
Many growers who store their
grapes find it good plan to cut off
four to six inches of the cane which
bears the cluster so as to have
convenient handle and means of sup
port for the fruit. Some growers
dip the cut ends of these pieces in
hot sealing wax or melted paraffin
to prevent evaporation of moisture.
The clusters are then hung on wires
in boxes or eupboards, in a cool
place, where they are to be kept un-
til needed for use.

F, ,OREGON POTATO GROWERS Of
FERED BONUS FOR SEED.

ny GROWING known varieties of
- potatoes free from disease pests,
Oregon farmers may secure a
reasonable bonus from California
growers who want the potatoes for
seed. In the San Joaquin delta region
1000 acres Of potatoes are grown
annually. and the growers are anx-
ious to get reliable sources Of seed
supply in Oregon. and il the right
kind Of reputation is made for the
Oregon product considerable guam
titles will find ready market at
Stockton. At the present time much
Of the crop that goes from Oregon is
said to be badly mixed lot that
shows no indication Of selection of
desirable types.
Serious losses resulting from the
inroads Of fungus and insect pests
led to a potato emergency conven-
ton, which was recently held in
Stockton" said Professor F. D.
Bailey, Of the o. A. C. Plant Path
ology Department, who attended the
convention. "At the close of the con-
vention permanent organization to
be known as the Pacific Coast 70
tato Growers Association was effect
ed, and resolution passed unani-
mously asking the potato growers of
Oregon and other Western states to
join in the organization. Oregon
growers have fine opportunity here,
and it is to be hoped that some action
will be taken to profit by it,"

the advantage of preventing the at

which might destroy the fruit COM
pletely. Such fruit may compete
with fruit which has not been

means of small rubber band, the
