F. E. Raymer, of Phoenix, Ariz., has been making frequent trips into the Dolores section, hauling out seed potatoes for use in his section of the country. He has made three or four trips here recently with his big truck and usually takes out about a hundred sacks at a load. He loaded out here the first of the week, taking a large quantity of spuds grown by Pat White, of Granath Mesa, which Mr. Raymer pronounced as fine as any Bliss Triumphs he had ever seen.
