While the crop is maturing in the field the potato farmer makes his preparations for harvesting. He ar- ranges, usually, with a contractor who makes a business of importing labor for work in the beet fields. At a stated price, say 4 to 6 cents per sack, the contractor agrees to furnish labor and to pick the potatoes. The grower himself does the digging. Before the advent of the beet industry most cf the harvesting was done by itinerant laborâtramps and professional har- vesters who had started in the South and worked their way northward as the season advanced. But since then the same Germans, Japs and Russians who recruit the beet field labor now furnish most of the harvest labor needed in the gathering of the potato ercps. By the first of October the potatoes h-ive matured and filled out until the skins are firm. The digging is done by machinery. The potatoes are pulled from the vines by hand labor and carried to a grader, which assorts them according to size. Then they are sacked, loaded on wagons and car- ried either to town for immediate use or they are hauled to the farmers' cel- lar and stored to wait a rise in the market.
