The Randolph Center Potato Growers
association held meeting Wednesday
evening. Fl. R. Talmaidge of the Long
Island Potato Growers association and
three Others from the same association
were present and gave helpful and en-
couraging talks. On ten experimental
lots, the Randolph Center potatoes stood
second and were very free from disease.
They wished that more would undertake
to grow seed potatoes for them, as there
would be fine market for all they could
furnish. Disease free seed il one OF the
possibilities which Orange county could
well afford to develop, One other sec
tion already is making small attempt
this year TO start right with seed po-
tatoes. Why not other sections and
make Orange county known as the
source of disease free Green mountain
and other seed potatoes Selection OF
seed this fall would help in getting
started. The county agent and Prof
Gilbert from the Vermont extension
service are at your service in starting
this work.

Farmers clubs elected a purchasing
agent at their club meeting this week.
They hope to buy some grain. Buying
grain now comparatively is doubly i'm
portant this year as not only can sum
mer prices be secured now, but feedstuffs
are much surer of delivery. Those CON
templating buying feeds for winter use
are urged to stock up as soon as posi-
BILE in order TO be sure Of delivery. Pres
ent indications point TO more congested
freight this winter than last because
of the larger volume OF freight necessary
to keep the rapidly increasing army sup
piled.
