Growing Potatoes for Profit 



FIRST, get good seed. 

 Next, a good seed bed, as good as you can make it. 

 Then, make every seed piece count, one in every space and one only. 

 You save seed, at least a bushel per acre. 



Now cultivate often and just the right way to suit your 



conditions. 

 Fertilize economically, in the row where it does the most 

 good. 

 Spray often with the right materials and a 

 good machine — one with plenty of pres- 

 sure or it won't do any good. 

 Dig by machine fast and safely, when the 

 crop is right and the market ready.

instructed by Mr. D. Johnson, Dominion 

 Fruit Commissioner, to visit the peach grow- 

 ing sections in the state of Georgia, to en- 

 quire into the methods employed In market- 

 ing Georgia peaches, and to secure any 

 other Information which might be applicable 

 and of value to fruit growers in Canada. 



Although much has been accomplished by 

 co-operative associations, and although 

 some individual efforts have proved success- 

 ful, yet there is not to-day in Elastem Can- 

 ada a central organization specially engag- 

 ing in marketing tender fruit When the 

 peach crop is Jieavy, the large consuming 

 centres are usually flooded with fruit, 

 which means ruinous prices to the grower. 

 At the same time many of the smaller towns 

 and villages are paying such high prices 

 that the consumption is materially lessened. 



To successfully market a large crop of 

 peaches it is necessary to make an early 

 estimate of the total crop, to employ 

 methods which will increase consumption, 

 and to take the necessary steps to secure a 

 wide and even distribution. The Georgia 

 Fruit Exchange has accomplished these and 

 other things for the peach growers of that 

 State. This organization is an Incorporated 

 body, organized primarily for the purpose 

 of selling and marketing fruit and vege- 

 tables, but, owing to the great increase in 

 the production of peaches during the past 

 few years, efforts are now practically con- 

 fined to the marketing of that fruit. 



In 1910 the Georgia Fruit Exchange mark- 

 eted in only 80 cities. In 1914 this number 

 was increased to 197. Previous to this ex- 

 tension of markets over 80 per cent, of the 

 total crop was shipped to three centres, 

 which were overstocked, little or no profit 

 was returned to the producers. 



In 1914 the same organization handled 68 

 per cent, of the total crop. The fact that 

 197 cities and towns were supplied, enabled 

 individual shippers to obtain much better 

 prices at the three centres mentioned. For 

 example, 29 per cent, of the total crop was 

 shipped to New York City. Of these ship- 

 ments only 18 per cent, were made by the 

 Exchange and 52 per cent, by individual 

 shippers. Forty-three per cent, of the total 

 crop was shipped to three other cities, and 

 of this fruit 28 per cent, was shipped by the 

 Exchange and 76 per cent, by private Indi- 

 viduals.
