PLANT FOR SIZE
A Comparison Of Marketable Value Of Potatoes
Grown at Dickinson Experiment
Station in 1907

The writer has often been asked the
question, "Is it all right to plant small
potatoes for seed7" In answer to this,
it may be said that it depends in great
est measure from what strain or variety
the small tubers were obtained. If the
small seed tubers are obtained from a
strain that ordinarily produces small
tubers then we can expect to harvest
small tubers in return. On the other
hand, if the small tubers are taken from
a strain or variety that produces ma
jority Of large tubers then we may ex-
pect to harvest the average amount OF
large tubers. In other words, the size OF
potato is t. large degree one Of the
characters Of the variety. The color OF
= potato is one Of the variety characters
also. If one selects white potatoes from

The banquet given Monday night in
the armory for the Dunn county officers
and the old timers of our sister county to
the north, including the Taylor, Rich
ardton and Dickinson people who had
taken a special interest in its organiza-
ton, was attended by 100 people and
was the most elaborate spread ever
given in Western North Dakota.
The banquet was given by Mayor Dan
Manning, himself an, early settler and
for whom the county seat of Dunn was
named. Mr.. Manning does nothing by
halves, and his instructions to Geo. Frye
and ]. G. Quinlivan we're to spare neither

they succeeded can best be told by those
present. Sufficeit to say that the tables
in the big southwest .armory room were
loaded down with all the delicacies of
the city markets, specially ordered for
this occasion, and the cigars, wines and
Quiet refreshments were not overlooked.
The crowd assembled at the CONNER
cial Club rooms at 8 o'clock, all being
cordially received by the entertainment
committee and given an opportunity Of
meeting and becoming acquainted with
both old and new settlers of the grea,
county of Dunn, comprising over 1900,
900 acres.
Among those from Richardton were
noted Peter and R. P. Gress, George
Brown and H. P. Dinius. Paul Zinel
was one of those who came up from
Taylor with Commissioner L. L. Lewis
Auditor T. Leroy Evans and Superin
tendent of Schools c. L. Melby.

tatoes will be harvested in the fall. It
is the same way to a large extent with
the size Of the potatoes. # one selects
the larger potatoes from mixed LOT. the
chances are excellent for securing large
sized tubers when the crop is harvested.
Areasonable question then is, "How
much may one lose by planting small
potatoes without much regard to the
variety or strain1 The varieties of po-

bushels per acre. The total yield is very
good as the yield of White Swan on sim.
liar soil was 248 bushels per acre. 1t is
the proportion of marketable and small
tubers that is interesting There are IS
pounds of marketable tubers and 48.5
pounds of small tubers. Gig. 3. Ex-
pressed in yields there were 7S bushels
per acre of marketable tubers and 1s2
bushels Of small tubers. Figured on the
same basis as the Commercial No. s, the
White Swan would be worth $50 per
acre more than the Commercial No. I.
The difference is really greater than this
in practice as large amount of small
potatoes is difficult to utilize as stock
food on the ordinary farm.
The Commercial No. l., has all the
appearance of variety quite "run out. "
What the real significance is of "run-
out" variety is not understood by the
writer, but there is evidently something
very definite about it. As stated, none
of the tubers are above medium size and
there are great number of small ones.
There were 378 tubers of the CONNER
cial No, ] in one-half bushel as against
no of the White Swan. A certain num-
Der ofshills taken at random averaged
over 81 tubers to the hill; many more
than the vines could be expected to de-
velop to any reasonable SIZE, An even
more extreme example of running out"
was noticed in variety tested for the
production of raw material for alcohol.
In Is pounds of potatoes, picked as they
came, there were 6o6 tubers, each one
weighing less than six-tenths of an

entire crop. The real difference is much
more than this, as can be seen by a refer
