When there is a call for spud
pickers in May, that's news.
Such a call was received at

On a small area, it was
learned, the potato digger did
not go deep enough last fall and
a considerable number of pota
toes were left in the ground.
These are now being dug to pre
vent potatoes from growing as
volunteers.
