growers. An early frost last autumn in New York State is partly responsible 

 for many small potatoes in last year's crop. 



If the writer has any message to give to Quebec farmers it is to encour- 

 age them to produce high-grade seed potatoes. The demand for such 

 potatoes will never lessen. There is no better location for the production of 

 seed tubers than in these northern sections. If one will but practice seed 

 selection, maintaining a seed plot each year, will treat his seed tubers with 

 corrosive sublimate, and spray his vines with bordeaux mixture, there can 

 be no reason why he should not produce disease-free seed, but most 

 important of all these measures is the selection of seed from healthy, high- 

 yielding plants.
