A rlrc,;iar recently issued ~ the
Illinois Experiment station on the "se.

says:
"The importance Of the potato in
Illinois is shown by the fact that It
ranks NTH in value anoung the farm
crops Of the state. The average yield
Tor forty years has been only eighty.

average yield for the state in any ona
year has been one hundred and twenty
nine bushels. These yields could be
greatly increased by special care In
seed selection Plants Of the same
variety grown in the same field may
vary widely in productiyeness.
Seed should be saved only from
the productive hills. The first selec
ton should be made while plants are
still growing in the feld. Vigorous
plants, showing green color. stability

ease should be marked. When the
crop is harvested the yield from each
of these marked plants should be not.

desirable than extremely large or ex-
tremeiy small ones. The small tuberz

diminishing yields and a constant in'

-The keepisg quality OF potatoes

results in larger yields. since plants
