THE SEED END OF POTATOES,
The question whether the seed end do
otatoes should be removed before the
led is planted has long been mootd
nong potato growers. Most Of them
ave decided that the seed end should
removed, or rather that the potato
lould be so cut as to give each set one
three good eyes or buds. II whole
otatoes are planted, many varieties
aylng a multitude of seed ewes will
nd out far too many shoots These
III crowd each other like SO many weeds,
I'd a great amount OF very small poa-
es will be the result. Varieties Of w
toes that have but few eyes, and espe
ally those that are very strong growen
Ill be better with whole seed. The
owding in this case increases the nun.
r of potatoes, and they will nearlysl
ow to remarkable size. II they have
less number of shoots, the potatoes
III be fewer and grow rough, pronged
"a unwieldy in size and shape. We
tice that the Wisconsin station has
en- experimenting with potatoes with
suits that do not agree with
g conclusion of practical Eastern
'mers. 1t finds that the whole potato
tn the seed end left on gave not only
arger yield of merchantable potatoa,
t a larger yield altogether than the
tato did where the seed end was re-
wed. The Early Rose and Snowflake
tatoes were the kinds chosen for the
pertinent. The result might have been
re favorable for the cut potato if some
onger growing varieties had been
'sen to experiment with.
