POTATOES FOR SEED.

The Importance of healthy tubers for
seed is too we'll known to require more
than mere mention. Another import
ant fact is that no crop benefits more
from frequent change of seed than po-
tatoes. On the subject of cutting pota-
toes for seed iNark Lane Erpress says:
'Many growers prefer planting the sets
whole. Of course it economies the seed
if one potato can be made to do the work
of two, but we question whether the cut
potato makes the safest seed, especially
on farms that are addicted to potato dis
ease. The great drawback to the whole
potato has been that it sends up too
many stems together and the crop is in
jured by overcrowding. But is it not
possible to prevent this by extracting all
the eyes excepting, says, two? We
should think there would be little diff
Guilty about that; there can be no doubt
that the whole set this far depleted of its
sprout eyes would have more nourish-
ment to support the young plant than the
seeding that has been cut. Its nourish-
ment, moreover, would be concentrated
on the two shoots left, which would tend
to strengthen and fortify them for the
battle of lite.''
