\ few years ago There was some
excitement over what was known as
second crop potatoes flor seed These
potatoes were merely some that had
been planted after til, J other crop was
dug. but IA the planting was general
ly done as far south las the Ohio river
the second crop matured sufficiently to
make first class seedl but did not ripen
enough to give a SCI led past its prime
at planting time in The spring.
Students of such &ueStions now be-
lieve that there Was{ no virtue at all in
the second crop idta 1t was merely
that the tulcrS Wefe arrested In their
development befor,& full ripeness had
been attained If Eotatoes at maturi-
