Harvest Potatoes Early.

1t is the practice of a great many
potato growers to leave their potatoes
N the ground until late in the season
regardless of the time of their matur-
lty Much loss is often suffered by this
practice. Wet weather will start
second growth those near the surface
will become exposed and injured by
the light, and large loss from rott-
ing may result. Some claim that the
scab may also increase largely where
the potatoes are left In the ground af-
ter maturity. 1t is a good plan to
take them out of the ground and SORT
them where the conditions surround
ing them can be controlled. A Kansas
GARNER writing regarding his practice
says:
1T has been my custom to dig and
cellar my potatoes as soon as deVel-
oped. Twenty years ago | heard OF
a Mr.. Underwood. south of Lawrence,
who dug and cellared his potatoes soon

Why Seed Potatoe. Rot.

During the Potato Growers Institute
in Minnesota many instances We're re-
norted where, under certain conditions,
the seed potatoes that appeared to be
sound and firm are rotting badly after
planting. There are various opinions
regarding the cause, Some growers
think it is due to the low vitality of the
seed stock, and tendency toward dis
ease and rot caused by the unfavorable
condition that prevailed during the
growing season last year. We are sur
prised when we learn that the sound,
firm crisp seed, when planted late, is
suffering most of all. The south comes
to the extreme northern potato growing
sections for just such seed. hence, we
cannot believe that the planting of
solid, dormant stock in hot weather
would produce rot as quickly as with
the soft sprouted potatoes that are pre-
ferred by many.
Mr. r. 8. Terry. the expert potato
grower of Hudson, Ohio, explains the
natter in this way. We might say he
is very firm in his belief that seed po-
tatoes which are so handled that they
will remain entirely dormant until
planting are always best regardless OF
location or soil conditions He says the
solid. crisp seed if cut with a thick
heavy knife blade, is quite sure to
bruise and crackle the cuttings to a
certain extent which would not occur
with wilted potatoes, hence, the rot
with the injured seed.
The remedy prescribed was to use a
sharp thin blade In cutting seed STOCK
handle carefully and avoid exposure OF
The same to sun or wind, all OF which
will quickly rot vegetables or fruits
that come from cold storage. Whiting
or sprouting potatoes before planting
always results in serious loss to the
planter regardless of opinions to the
