s f Tlie Potato Industry
The Salem ; district leads Ore-;
gon in potato growing. Our
growers should pay less attention
to the thousands of possible new
varieties. They should confine;
their growingl to Burbank, Gold
Coin and Peerless for late, and
Early Rose and Earliest of All for
early varieties. And they should
L attend to seed certification. Wash
ington. California and some other
nearby states cannot -grow--their-own
