The Northern Potato Growers' Sales 

 Company is an organization of pro- 

 ducers of potatoes and other agricul- 

 tural products, none others being eli- 

 gible to membership. Tins company 

 was organized in March, 1913, and 

 incorporated in January, 1915, with 

 headquarters at Moorhead. The pres- 

 ent membership is 315, nearly all be- 

 ing farmers of Clay County. Potatoes 

 and other farm products are handled 

 in car lots on a percentage to cover 

 the actual cost of conducting the busi- 

 ness. A total of 340 carloads of pota- 



toes and onions has been marketed 

 by the company for its members. It 

 is the plan of the company to further 

 extend the business during the pres- 

 ent year. A warehouse will be ac- 

 quired and a full line of chemicals for 

 treating seed for plant diseases and for 

 exterminating bugs and other pests 

 will be handled. The company will 

 also carry in stock potato tools, bas- 

 kets, sacks, field and garden seeds and 

 feed. The officers of the company are : 

 0. H. Hogstad, president ; Alfred Ol- 

 son, vice-president ; Martin W. Gee, 

 treasurer, and E. H. Probstfield, sec- 

 retary and manager.
