Selecting Seed Potatoes.

The Importance of selecting good seed
is well set forth in the following article
taken from Wallace's Farmer:
1t will pay any farmer to watch his
potatoes carefully during the growing
season, and particularly in the fall II
he does, he will find that a hill here
and there often shows wonderful blight
resistance: while hills around are af-
fected with both early and late blight,
he will find an occasional hill that
seems to be blight-proof. Mark such
hills and take your seed from them the
next year Although we grow potatoes
only for use on the farm, we have
watched this for some time, and notice
a recent report from the Ohio expert
ment station which should be interest
ing to every man who grows potatoes,
whether in large way or in a small
way.
In 1907 Mr. G. w. Waid, of that sta
ton, selected the ten best hills out of
one hundred, and from this stock he
has grown three crops, also selecting
seed from another hundred hills sorted
in bulk at the same time The average
yield of the three plots the seed of
which was hill selected is 25 per cent
greater than from the seed not hill
selected, although the seed in the lat
ter case was carefully selected from
the bulk amount. In other words, by
rejecting nine hills out of ten and
planting the ten best in a hundred he
has increased his crop rs per cent. Any
farmer can do that and in a short time
have seed potatoes to sell to his neigh
bors at good round price Mr. Waid
noticed that in one case seed from
selected hills yielded 40 per cent more
than from the ordinary stock simply
because they did not blight as the
others did.
All the labor that was involved was
simply to go to the fields before the
vines died, mark the ones that were
most resistant, and dig these hills sep
arateN for seed. 1t will pay the farm
er who raises potatoes only for home
use to do this, and 1t Is certainly ex-
ceedingly important for the man who
grows potatoes for sale. Selecting from
the hill or from the field often makes
the difference between profit and loss,
success and failure.
The Worth of the Potato Eye.
This article we copy from Wallace's s
Farmer and we know the writer to be
very practical and studious potato
grower: To raise crop of potatoes
from his own seed every year and make

the plant. He must gather knowledge

Senator Platt was recently asked by
Senator Carter of Montana as to how
he stood in reference to the reception
of Reed Smoot, the mormon senator.
Senator Platt narrowed his eyes in an
appreciative, crafty glance and re-
piled: 'sTo tell the truth, l was just
waiting to salute our colleague from
Utah, for I tell you Tom Carter. it's
my private opinion that it takes
mighty smart man to be a mormon
without complications.
Count Bellestrem, the president Jf
