Through the efforts Of Purdue

splendid results in Wisconsin, name

and will display and study the types
Of the leading varieties of potatoes
as well as tubers carrying the diff

The plan Of procedure for the
coming season VIII be discussed and
arrangements will be made with a
number of growers in each potato

in sorting and treating their seed,
and later spraying and selecting the
seed for the next year.

the selection Of a variety. which will
retain a green foliage during the
customary midsummer drouth, VIII
probably be given first consideration.
st. Joseph county should feed its
people with home grown potatoes,
which can be sold TO the consumer
at a reasonable price and still fur
nish a profit to the producer.
Standardization Of varieties and
elimination of diseases which are
still unknown to the average grower
will make this possible and 1t is
hoped that every potato grower will
avail himself of the opportunity OF
improving his methods and thereby
increasing his yield
An increase Of fifteen bushels per
acre will easily take care Of profit

Wisconsin through this kind of work
have resulted in an increase far be-
