LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL RENO, NEVADA, February 15, 1918. GOVERNOR EMMET D. BOYLE, Carson City, Nevada. DEAR GOVERNOR BOYLE: In April, 1917, the Nevada Agricultural Experiment Station published Bulletin No. 87 entitled "Home Potato Patches," by C. S. Knight, Dean of the College of Agriculture, and Agronomist of the Agricultural Experiment Station. The demand for this bulletin was so heavy that early in the year the edition was exhausted. As requests for copies are still received almost every day, it now seems advisable to republish. A large part of the information contained in Bulletin No. 87 was derived from series of experiments included in Projects 1 and 2, Hatch Fund. To this we have added a considerable amount of general information needed by potato growers at the present time. We are, therefore, presenting the bulletin again in a more expanded form and under a new serial number. In 1917 many tracts of over five acres of potatoes were grown on waste land not previously cultivated. For the benefit of growers of these larger patches information has been included on the use of potato machinery and the general care of larger crops. Respectfully submitted, S. B. DOTEN, 53788 Director, |
