POTATO DEVELOPMENT WORK IN WISCONSIN. 



THE "POTATO SPECIAL" IN WISCONSIN. 



The public has become familiar with the general plan of run- 

 ning special exhibit cars in the interests of either live stock or 

 crop improvement. However, the "Potato Specials" which 

 were operated in 1912 and 1913 have proven of such valuable 

 service to this Association, that a brief review of. results is im- 

 portant. Two facts of special significance stand out promi- 

 nently: 



INTERIOR VIEW OF THE NORTH WESTERN LINE, "POTATO SPECIAL." 



Equipped with Standard Market Potatoes; Exhibits of Potato Diseases and 

 Other Commercial Potato Exhibits. 



First. A large number of the best potato growers in Wiscon- 

 sin have become members of the Wisconsin Potato Growers' As- 

 sociation through the agency of .the " Potato Special." 



Second. Some of the best potato seed stock which is now be- 

 ing used for community improvement work, was also located 

 through the agency of the ' ' Potato Special. ' ' These two results 

 alone more than compensate the effort which was made to make 

 the plan a success.
