1 The 46 potato records which have been included in this study were obtained by the Office of Farm 
Management in a preliminary survey of the cost of producing potatoes during the years 1912 and 1913. 
These potato-enterprise records were taken in Weld County, Colo., by Mr. H. H. Clark. 
The importance of the various crops is reflected to some extent in 
the number of records obtained in the three districts. For instance,
