if they are being properly supervised
so that when the crop is harvested

are ready to take all seed up to prop

''This is of interest to us as re-

Montana in general 1t means tre-

sufficient seed. 1t has been found
that it will pay the farmers to get
our strong virile potato seed every
year. The interesting thing is that
we are far enough north to produce
seed that is the best they can OBJ
tain for their particular purposes.
AS matter of fact, they would today
contract for three or four more times
what we are producing if they could
get it. There are great possibilities
for Montana farmers.
''Last year, I visited Louisiana
fields and am sure we have not made
a dent in their demands. Thousands

that state has not yet been utilized.
