FREAK POTATOES

From many quarters, not only in
Iowa hut in other states, come re-
ports OF topless potatoes. Samples
and reports Of these freak potatoes
have reached the agricultural depart
ment at Washington, D. C. The de-
partment seems puzzled but advises
discarding of stock, which have no
doubt come from poor seed.

the case that plants grown in very
