The authors of this book are especially fitted to write 

 upon the potato. Professor Gilbert, as professor of 

 plant breeding at Cornell, has made a careful study of 

 potato breeding and varieties for several years. For- 

 merly teacher of farm crops and director of agricultural 

 extension work at the University of Maine, he has 

 become thoroughly familiar with potato growing in the 

 East, particularly in the famous Aroostook County 

 region. Dr. Barrus is considered one of the best 

 authorities on potato diseases in the country. The 

 chapters he has contributed to the work deal with 

 disease and its control. Mr. Dean wrote the chapters 

 on field practice. He is a successful commercial 

 grower, and has given much attention to the different 

 systems of potato growing throughout the United 

 States.
