GIVES fine talk
AGRICULTURAL EXPERT HAS AN
INSTRUCTIVE MESSAGE
FOR FARMERS
BETTER and MORE POTATOES
THE PROPER MARKETING OF
PRODUCT is ONE VERY
IMPORTANT PROBLEM

Professor P. G. Holden, the Inter-
national Agricultural expert, gave
one of the most interesting and in
structive lectures that the farmers
of this community have ever heard.
He spoke on potatoes and potato cul-
ture. Quite a number of local far
mers are Interested in raising more
potatoes, and they wanted some in
formation as we'll as some plans and
experiences from elsewhere on the
subject. Through the efforts of the
local agent and dealer of the Inter
national Harvester Company, Mr..
Holden was secured for this lecture.
The program was staged in the Jun
ior high school auditorium with the
cooperation Of the Agricultural De-
partment of the local high school last
Thursday evening.
The audience was made up OF
about $50 practical farmers seeking
on this subject, and Mr.
Holden was very much pleased with
the audience as they were all inter-
ested potato growers, and it is likely
that the potato production, both in
quality and quantity, will be mater
tally increased in this community.
Methods of selecting good seed po-
tatoes, and of preparing the proper
kind of seed bed were discussed. Also
the handling and treating of seed was
The entire subject was
covered and large number OF cues
tons put by the audience were an
swered. There was a round table
discussion after the general meeting
at which many interesting things
were taken up by Mr.. Holden and
questions answered.
The fact was also brought out that
it is not only necessary to raise a
large crop of good potatoes, but also
that the farmers must take well
planned steps toward the proper mar
keting of this crop before it Will net
him a substantial income.
( The matter of potato warehouses
and marketing organization were aiso
touched upon.
E. M. Gillig, the local Agricultural
instructor, will keep Professor Hol-
den in touch with conditions here and
will instruct concerning any future
help that the potato growers may
need, as Mr.. Holden will return next
year, if necessary, to help the local
neonle to raise more and better po-
tatoes with a greater proflt tha'
heretofore.
Mr.. Gillig emphasizes the fact tina:
this is a very good potato country
and that one feature in the future
nrosperity of our farmers will be the
raising of more and better potatoes

the field.
