Madison About 10000 acres of pc.
tatoes will be planted this spring by
Wisconsin farmers. according TO the
estimate of j. G. Milward, potato spe-
cialist at the College of, Agriculture.
More than enough potatoes are raised
in Wisconsin each year to satisfy the
consuming public of the state, he says,
with 100000 bushels, permitting more
than two bushels to each person in
the state. The high production rec
ord for the state is 36.000,000 bushels.
or more than six times enough pota
toes for Wisconsin consumers for a
year. A total OF 100000 bushels OF
tubers were shipped out of the state
last year, according to Mr.. Milward.
Already more than 100000 bushels
have left the boundaries of Wisconsin
this year.
