Origin of Potato Distmees,
From tate consumers' side, the c;ues-
tion of marketing potatoes is of the
'greatest importance, especially so in
years When the prices for this com-
modity are advancing daily_ The of-
ficers of the Experimental Farms re-
cently had an opportunity of inspect-
ing quantities of potatoes in the con-
sumers' own cellars. The potatoes
bad been pu•cletsed in the ordinary
way from small detdcl s, The condi-
tion of the potatoes was most unsatis-

of rot came tip to 76 per cent. of the

was the common Late Blight rot, and

toes were dug, tend before sbipping.
The consumer is helpless in such
cases, and rarely is there a way open
