Seed Potato Growers
Form Important Organization


On Friday, April 14th. there was or
gained at Frostburg. Maryland, The
Western Maryland Seed Potato Grow
srs' Association. The object OF the
organization 10 to promote the grow
Ing and marketing OF seed potatoes
grown under such conditions of alti'
tuds and climate a. make tho seed as
well suited to the requirements OF
Maryland and virginia potato growers
Is Is seed grown In Maine. Michigan
or other higher attitudes.
The ANAL organisation Of this asso'
citation, which will be incorporated I'M
der the laws Of Maryland. representa-
the elimination Of the efforts Of
number OF banks and business men OF
Allegheny county. aided by Mr.. John
McGiil, Jr., county agent for ALE.
gheny county, and Professors Temple
and Bombergsr, Of the State College
OF Agriculture.
The bankers and business mea a.
nanced tho project by procuring car
load Of the best Maine seed potatoes
for distribution among the farmers OF
Allegheny and Garrett counties. Mr..
MoGin and Professor Temple super
Intended the growing OF last years
crop, which is to serve Ms seed for
this years planting. Professor Bonn
berger prepared the plans for tho In.
corporation and management Of the
organization Of the growers. In the
final steps OF the organization valuable
service was rendered by Mr.. q. H. Bias
sett and o. b. Jessness, Of the U. b.
Department Of Agriculture.
On Friday the 14th instant, about
thirty seed potato growers Of Western
Maryland met and adopted constitu
tion and bylaws, elected officers ana
directors and outlined the work for the
current season.
This organization represents the do
| yelopment Of new business for Mary
| land. Heretofore Maryland potato
| growers have depended upon northern
| grown potatoes for seed. II has been
demonstrated by the Experiment sta
| ton that seed grown at the high alti-
tudes prevailing in the mountain
| region Of Western Maryland are fully
equal to northern grown seed. II re-
NAMED for the farmers Of that region
to undertake the growing Of seed un'
der proper regulations for guarantee
ing a standard product free from dis
ease In order 10 establish the business
upon q sound commercial basis. The
organization effected will do this; and.
az the business expands. the potato
growers of Maryland will not be COM
PEELED to send outside the State for
standard seed. In time the seed po-
tato industry Of Western Maryland
should assume large proportions and
hundreds OF thousands should be saved
to the potato growers Of the State.
Already the farmers Of Garrett county
are preparing to follow the example OF
their Allegheny county nslshbors. The
organization formed contemplates the
afiilation OF all the seed potato grow
ers OF Western Maryland with the as
ISOLATION formed at Frostburg.
