GRADING THE POTATOES
SUBJECT WAS DISCUSSED At
SAINT PAUL MEET
Delegation From Blue Earth
County Favorable Toward
Federal Regulation

P0tat0 growers of Minnesota had a
hearing before the state agricultural
commission in the old capitol build
ing st. Paul, yesterday, practically all
OF the rotato exporting counties of
the state being, represented. There
was some sharp criticism of the
United States government grades.
This grading last season was quite
severe, only potatoes of a certain
size passing the grade, leaving many
understood potatoes, which the farm
ers either had to hand home or throw
away. The farmers would willingly
have sold these understood potatoes
If he could have found a market for
them. 1t is claimed that the restric-
lions did not govern retailers and if
a dealer was unscruplous he might
mix the second grade potatoes with
tie first grade bought from the farm
ers, and profit thereby.
Against State Grades.
The general sentiment at the meet
ins appeared to be against the estab-
fishing Of state grades. In regard to
federal grading there seemed to be 4
rather sharp division Of opinion. Far
mers of Hennepin county and the
district Immediately surrounding the
twin cities, were much opposed to
grading of any kind. Farmers from
the. northern part Of the state fav-
ored federal grade with some mod
ifications of the present grade. Com
mission men, retailers and wholesal-
ers were practically all in favor of
grading. NJ. More of the United
States Bureau of Markets, explained
the need for grading of potatoes to
other states, as the demand there is
mostly for graded potatoes. Consid
cradle criticism of grading machines
in use was expressed, owing to the
fact that they damaged considerable
number Of the potatoes The final
conclusion reached were not very def
mite. Apparently the representatives
OF the largest acreage Of potatoes
favored some form of federal grade.
On the other hand a majority of
those present, being from the vicin-
ity of the twin cities, were opposed
to any grading.
Favored Federal Grading.
The Blue Earth county delegation
favored some form of federal grading,
but were not in favor of it being
compulsory. They also favored the
making Of only one grade of market
able potatoes as far as size is con-
cerned. They also expressed the opin-
ion that the same requirements as
to grading be placed on farmers and
retailers alike, and that the retailers
when selling potatoes be obliged to
observe the same grading as the
Not Compulsory Grading.
Apparently there was considerable
misunderstanding of the nature of
, the present government grades. These
are not compulsory at the present
time, and it is not necessary that po-
tatoes be screened to comply with
these grades. Those present express
sed the opinion that there should un-
questionably be some modification of
the present grades and hoped that
the state commission would work
with that end in view.
The Blue Earth county delegation
present was composed of H. c..
Young, F. o. True, C.. w. Watts.
Dave Anderson and NJ. r. Benedict.
