At the beginning of the y

CO-OP NOTES
Potatoes aro being purchased on a
quality basis and the farm 1 who
makes an effort to clean his spuds
and bring them in in the best
possible condition will make the
most money. The follow who is
careless will pay the cost of the
extra handling of his ungraded pro
duct .
