THEY LIKED sPUD SPECIAL
Crowd OF ESQ Greet College Train as
IL Nears RoSsville.

Rossville. Kan, March ga
crowd OF ESQ persons, most of them
potato growers from this vicinity and
agricultural students in the Rossville
high school. have attended the meet

valley Potato Special which is here
today under the direction of the
Union Pacific railroad and the Kan
sas state Agricultural college. The at
tendance at St Marys last night was
527 and the total attendance to date
has been about 1900.
The fact that most of the potato
seed in the Kaw valley this year is
heavily infected with rhizoctonia and
scab is arousing great interest in seed
treatment in this section. Altho many
growers near Topeka have practiced
seed treatment. very few acres OF po-
tatoes in the western section Of the
valley have been planted from treated
seed before
