THE POTATO CROP
Growers to Discuss Means for Creates.
PrOdu ctiOn and Better Marketing

The growing of certified potatoes ID (
Vermont received a forward impulse re-S
Gently when plans were made for holding4
at Randolph Center a Statewide potato
growers conference and field meeting.
This is the announcement just made by
A. II. Gilbert, assistant plant pathologist
for the University of Vermont and patho-
logical inspector for the State department
of agriculture. 1t will be the aim of the
coming conference TO stimulate greater
production of potatoes in Vermont, as
well as to organize the potato growers for
better marketing.
The invitation to meet at Randolph vas
extended by the Randolph School of
Agriculture and the Randolph Center
Cooperative Potato Exchange. and
these ORGANIZATIONS, together with tho
Orange County Farm Bureau. will CO.
operate with the State department. OF
agriculture in the plans and arrangements
for the meeting, which will be held August
II.
The number of growers of certified seed
has very materially increased during the
past two years and the prospects are
favorable for the production in 1870 Of a
still larger output OF seed. The relatively
high grade OF Vermont stock has re-
suited in a strong demand for certified
potatoes, and il is believed that the in
dustry would be more firmly established
and more rapidly developed through the
formation of a Statewide association.
The meeting for preliminary arrange
ments. held at Randolph on May Is, was
participated in by Principal G. l.. Green
and Wesley Abel OF the Randolph School
of Agriculture. President G.. Fl. Temple
and Mr.. Harrington of the Randolph
Potato Exchange, Harold Dwinell of the
Orange County Farm Bureau and A: H.
Gilbert of the State department of akri-
culture.
meeting from all parts of the State. espe-
cially from the local Potato Growers
associations. of which there are now 70.
1t IL hoped that this meeting will result
in the formation of a State Potato Grow
ers' association such as exists in New
York, Maine and other large potato pro-
ducing States.
Potato experts from the United States
department of agriculture at Washington
have been secured to take part in the
program, which will also include an auto
mobile tour to inspect potato fields OF
the vicinity. Vital matters concerning
potato varieties, culture and disease will
be discussed, also the very important
matter of marketing the crop
An official announcement including the
printed program will be issued early in
July from the office of the commissioner
of agriculture
