food thorough discussion on the
potato, covering varieties, planting,
diseases, marketing, etc. The meet'
ings at Fairmount, Sonora and Lid
gerwood were well attended by
farmers, in spite of the inclement
weather. These farmers listened
attentively and went home with
Home new ideas on potatoes. This
information gathered is not only
nmv, but it, reliable because the ex
periment stations do not dispells*
information unless they are certain
it is correct. Statements made arc
always backed liv experimental

Mr. Werner is splendidly pre
pared to give this work. First ot
all he comes from a state which
ranks high in potato growing. He
is a graduate of the Pennsylvania
State College of Agriculture. 11
has handled the potato work at ou". ..
own experiment station during 11 I•*
past four veai-s. It is to be hoped
that every farmer will avail him
self of this opportunity to get
good sound potato information.
For Mr. Werner's cnvenience, a
few changes in the schedule had to
be made. The dates set for the *'u
meetings will be as follows:
