What's in a name in Guyra potato trade controversy
The Che Guyra Argus discusses potato seed quality and the Guyra growers association. It notes past robust trade under contract and calls for a tighter code of rules after recent unsubstantiated complaints. The piece urges quality seed for home use and markets, warning inferior seed could end exports. It cites Mr. H S King and Mr. Frank White on seed practices and home planting versus external sales. It compares to Denmark's dairy trade to urge caution.
