the work and had things arranged
very handy. The tank was capable
of taking nine bushels of potatoes at
one time and the dipping liquid was
kept at the right temperature by a
steam pipe from the creamery. This
year the potatoes were left right in
the sacks and then allowed to drain
for a few minutes so as not to

potatoes were left in the liquid for 3
minutes, so with these convenient ar
engagements they were able to handle
nine bushels every four minutes in
the one tank. About 600 bushels had
been signed up for dipping.
