Seems only ligical that growers of
spuds or any local commodity
should stick together on the ques-
ton of permitting seconds to ruin
the market for the No. stuff. Ac-
ton taken by the local spud grow
ers this week to keep the culs off
the market should long have been
the universal practice it seems. OF
course this may make It a little
tougher on the dealer, who has been
known to resort the culls and let
the truckers take 'em out on the
road. But from the growers stand
point the practice is ruinous and
the sooner it is stopped the sooner
there will be something left for the
guy who actually raises the stuff.
