Spud Cooperative is the
Largest in United States
Acreage Now Under Contract Passes
10000, Official Records Show
Progressing in North Dakota

The new Minnesota Potato Grow
ers Exchange, now being organized,
last week became the largest potato
cooperative in United States, in
point of acreage signed. Official re-
cords show that more than 10000
acres have been contracted by the
associations 4,400 members. The
gross acreage is growing at the rate
of more than 1000 day.
With the 10000 acre goal passed,
the movement leads the Maine Potato
Growers Exchange in acreage sign
ed. The Maine cooperative, up to
the present, has been the largest or
ganization of potato growers in Unit
ed States, having $500 members
with $4,000 acres under contract.
In any state, other than Minnesota,
10000 acres would qualify the move
ment under the so per cent of the
commercial acreage clause in the
contract, according to S. G. Rubinow,
campaign manager. However, the
movement still has lot Of acreage
to sign up before the contracts can
be made effective. To impress upon
members the necessity of signing up
every acre possible, the general state
committee last week sent out spec
ial appeal to those interested in the
movement and the response is ex-
cellent, Mr.. Rubinow says.
The movement in North Dakota is
making satisfactory progress, &C

A state committee made up Of grow
ers, bankers and business men has
been formed and county committees
will be at work this week, he says.
Becker county, which ranks with
the largest potato growing counties
in Minnesota, will be first among
those needing more than 5000 acres
to complete it's quota. Farmers in
that county are within 200 of their
goal Of 5000 acres, according to
Walter Oby of Detroit, treasurer Of
