Experts Are Compiling
Book On Spud Raising

Fargo, N. D., July 19.-Potato au-
thorities of the Agricultural college
are cooperating in the writing Of a
handbook on the raising Of potatoes.
The book will be issued soon. The
different writer's are contributing
chapters on the various phases of
potato culture which they know best.
In the chapter on market, N. D.
German, assistant county agent lead
er, declares that, the rapid increase in
production and lack of knowledge
and facilities consequent to the new
ness Of the industry add to the prob
lens confronting the grower.
North Dakota's production jumped
from 6,557,0OO bushels in 1920 to
11,520,0O0 bushels in 1921, he says,
and a thirty-five per cent encrease
upon this figure is expected for 1922.
He stresses the Importance of prop
er grading, standardization of varie-
ties and preparation for market in
general.
Another point he brings out is the
bad effect Of dumping the whole
corn on the market at one time.
The average North Dakotan is care
less of his methods of preparations
for market, he declares.

ing him a very comfortable living
