Madison-S Standardization of Wis
consin potatoes by the state depart
ment of markets has resulted in a
gain of at least 100000 to the farm
ers of the state in a year, l.. G. Foster,
deputy commissioner of markets, said.
AS result of grading, he declared,
the price on the 10000 cars of Wis
consin potatoes ranged Is cents per
100 pounds higher than those from
other states. This state, by taking
the lead in establishment OF definite
grades on farm products is building
a reputation that can be capitalized
by it's farmers, Mr. Foster believes,
and the farmer with high grade pro-
ducts will be rewarded by increased
prices.

a registration of 320,447-more than
200 times the former figures. State

1905, 1892; 1910, 5,979; 1915, 1890;
1920, 277 1893; 1921, 320,447. Motor
trucks: 1918, 1851; 1919. 10,SSS; 1921,
21.306.
