Measuring ice instead Of weighing

pounds for each inch of thickness,

For finding the weight of pieces of 9TH

length by width by height and that

Varieties Of Potatoes for Minnesota

When purchasing seed potatoes
for this years crop we wish to urge
the farmers to confne themselves
to the varieties of potatoes named
in the following list, which varieties
are recommended by both the
Minnesota State Potato Growers
Association and also the Minnesota
Crop Improvement Association,
believing that such standardization
will promote the potato grow ing
industry in the state by limiting
the kinds and by raising and unity
the quality of the potatoes to be
put on the market and thereby
create a greater demand in the
potato markets of the country for
Minnesota stock. For these
reasons we also suggest that the
county fair boards. in making out
their premium lists for this year,
include only the seven groups
named below:
LATE VARIETIES

1. Purple flowers and purple
stalk-Rural New Yorker, Carmen
No. 3 and Sir Walter Raleigh.

localities having heavy, rich or
peat (muck) soils.
