GROW|NG POTATOES
IS FOUND IN NORTH
spud Specialist Extension Di-
vision Helps Bonner County
Growers Develop Market for
Crop.

Work BY E. r. Bennett, field hort-
culturist curing 1919,was devoted most
~ to the potato industry and was
largely. educational. He has done this
work on potatoes In Boundary, Bon
ner Kootenai Benewan, Latah, Pay
cite, Washington, Gem, Canyon. Ada,
Elmore, Gooding, Lincoln, Jerome, Twin
Falls, Bonneville. Fremont, Madison,
Jefferson, Bear Lake, Bannock and
Lemhi counties. syA
one interesting result has been the
building up of a new potato and po-
tato seed industry in the northern part
of the state. particularly IN Bonner
county. The unirrigated lands of
northern Idaho have been found to be
particularly well adapted to the grow
ing of potato seed. An incident OF the
work was the getting together of Bon
ner county farmers to cooperate in the
selling of $4,000 worth of potatoes
which otherwise they would not have
put ON the market.
FIGHT POTATO DISEASE
Standardization, grading and elm
nation OF potato disease are being
urged.
At meeting with representatives OF
other western states, Mr.. Bennett help
ed outline standard for seed pota-
toes which provides basis for certi-
fication which is uniform throughout
the west. This standardization of seed
is expected to give a great impetus to
the seed production industry.
Some farmers in Idaho are now har-
them gross income of more than $500
per acre-200 sacks per acre and selling
around Sc per 100 pounds said Mr..
Bennett in the fall. These men have
neighbors who are farming equally as
good land and harvesting 100 sacks of
potatoes and a much larger proportion
of the latter yield is grading No, or
culls.
What and why the difference? From
the standpoint OF profit, the first class
men are receiving net profit from
their land Of from 5000 to $3.50 per acre.
The low yield is giving a return that
hardly more than pays the cost Of pro-
duction.
THE cause of this difference in pro-
duction Is in most cases oGS q more
of three factors-soil prepal eul-
tural methods and seed. 1he --..lest
of these is seed
Growing the Idaho Potato" as
page textbook, was one of the bulletins
published by the extension division in
the course Of the year. 1t was written
by Mr.. Bennett.
Mr. Bennett has helped foster the or
ganization OF farmers Of the northern
Idaho and adjacent Washington coun-
| ties, to learn the potato seed business
and to grow and sell potato seed, and
also the organization of Canyon county
potato growers, to meet their problems
of obtaining cars and shipping.
In fruit work Mr.. Bennett devoted
his attention largely to disease inves-
tigation, with a view to prevention.
Another Of Mr.. Benefits projects is

which he gives advice on the planning
of farm homes and grounds. He has
planned parks and schools in many To-

work of greater magnitude, demanding
more time than he could give to 1t.
The home improvement work has been
done in Benewah. Madison, Canyon,

ton of American industry. Four years
ago he stood on this platform, the
choice of both William H. Taft and
Theodore Roosevelt for chairman of
the convention; and it is only fair to
add that as member of the Senate
he enjoyed the intimate and confiden-
tial friendship of both these great
leaders.
He had the honor to present to the
Senate and to secure the enactment
of the legislation providing for the
Roosevelt division for service in
France-legislation which was eager

led it to order the opening day.
The choice of the republican nominee
ended one of the most notable fights in the
history of republican presidential cam
paigns.
Of course, the contest began months
and months ago in the preparations for
the primaries in the various states. Those
primaries left the result of the struggle en-
shrouded in doubt and the convention met
without any one predicting with certainty
what would be the result of the balloting.
Even the early ballots did not give
clear indication of the ultimate result. And
it was big guess practically to the very
end.
