Chrlstensen, of the Wisconsin college of agriculture, told potato show attendants here this morning. "The real judge of our products is the consumer," Dean Christensen said. "No one should be more careful about what the consumer thinks about our products than the growers, the producers.

We need, in the potato industry the dairy industry, to give more attention to what the consumer thinks about our products." products, Dean Christ en- sen asserted, must be of good quality and must be properly merchandised. The market, or consumer, he' said, is the guide to producing and merchandising programs. There must be proper control from the producing areas, he declared, to insure quality products, so displayed as to be attractive to the consumer.

"I am intensely interested in the problems and the welfare of Wis consin's potato industry," Dean Chrlstensen said. "I assure you that the college of agriculture stands ready to assist you to the very limit of our ability."
