Show BEGINS PUTTING IN SEED POTATOES ON EXTENSIVE SCALE SCHROEDER SHIPS IN CARLOAD OF SEED FOR LOCAL PLANTING Ed Schroeder has begun plans for extensive potato -farming in Beaver county, which, if successful, may be the means of making this section rich as a potato-growing district. A formidable array of heavy farm machinery was ordered Tuesday thru Morris and Sons. Mr. Schroeder is getting in a fertilizer machine, a two-row two-row potato planter, a Farmall tractor, trac-tor, and a combine harvester. Monday of this week, he unloaded a carload of seed potatoes, shipped in here from Oregon. These are being be-ing stored here in Milford for the present. Some of them will be planted plant-ed on Mr. Schroeder's acreage near Beryl, and the rest will be used on .the Levi farm, south of town on the Min- ersville road. More shipments of potatoes are expected this week. Mr. Schroeder has carload consignments now on the road from, Oregon and Minnesota, making a total of three carloads he is getting. One lot will be used for planting near Beryl; the red, here. He is also having two carload lots of fertilizer brought in, which he will use here and at Beryl. Little potato farming has been practised prac-tised here before. None has been attempted on the scale that Mr. Schroeder is doing. Farmers have been used to going in strong for hay and seed, but Mr. Schroeder is certain cer-tain of this county's having a great future as a potato-growing region. His farms in southern Utah will be watched with interest. |
