POINTS IN POTATO CULTURE

POINTS IN POTATO CULTURE
The potato plant is a machine which
manufactures an article of food, the
principal constituent of which is
starch, combined with a small amount
of other substances. The raw material
for the potato substance comes from
the soil--waters taken up through the
roots and the gases of the air. Since
such important work is done by the
slender, fibrous roots and the eXpanse
of leaves exposed to the sun, the ne
cessity of keeping these organs in
good working condition is easily seen.
The ideal conditions for healthy
growth are found in loose, rich, well
drained but misunderstanding soil of
moderate GOODNESS, rich in humus, and
used in rotation with legumes. Heavy
soils are not so good as light ones and
need careful management.
A loose, mellow seed bed is neces-
sary, and to secure this the soil
should be plowed early and deep. In
some sections there is an advantage
in fall blowing, since the heavy freez-
ing of the loose soil causes it to be-
come more friable and allows more
early working After blowing in the
ly pulverized by liberal use of harrow
and roller.
The fundamental conditions must
be kept up by proper cultivation, es-
pecially in the critical period in the
life of the potato plant, just after the
blossoms appear, when its strength is
going into the formation of tubers. A
dust mulch should early be established
I, hi OiCt1r mo ~
conserved.
Rapid and constant growth gives the
best quantity and flavor, therefore 1t
is necessary to have at all times
generous supply of available plant
food Since scab is SO often caused
by the use of barnyard manures, the
use of them is not encouraged. Prop
erly mixed commercial plant food
gives the best results. A fertilizer
containing 3 per cent nitrogen, per
cent phosphoric acid and 10 per cent
potash is recommended to be used at
the rate of 900 to 1000 pounds per
acre. The fertilizer should be thor
oughly worked into the soil before
planting.
After considering suitability for de-
sired use in earliness, production ana
quality, the variety planted should be
selected for resistance to drought, dis
ease, insects, etc. None but clean,
thoroughly healthy seed, true to type,
should ever be used. Partly rotten
potatoes, or those showing any imper-
fections indicating lack of vitality,
should never be planted. Since the
starch in the potato feeds the young
plants until they get well rooted, they
must suffer if this supply is exhaust
ed by sprouts before planting. The
vitality of cut seed may be seriously
injured by drying out or by heating,
if kept more than ten days before
planting. ID. |. Duncan in Rural
World.
Preventing Potato Scab.
Mr.. Charles Mollaney has succeeded
in raising potatoes for twenty-three
successive years on single acre OF
land without once having his crop at
fected with scab He told of his ex-
perience during the Farmers Institute
at East Troy, and his method of pre-
venting the scab from affecting his
potatoes is very simple.
In the fall, when the potato crop is
A A.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-05-01

removed from the one-acre plot which
is conveniently fenced off close to the
home, he discs and -cultivates the soil
thoroughly to q fine seed bed and then
sows rye in it. This usually catches
we'll and readily, and is left to grow
the next spring until shortly before po-
tato planting time, when it is usually
four to six inches high. 1t is then
given covering of stable manure and
plowed under deeply and prepared for
the potato planting. The green ma
nuring afforded by the rye, it is
claimed by Mr.. Mollaney, is the secret
to preventing the potato scab
Though it may be more than the
green manure in the soil that keeps
the potatoes on this plot free from
scab after so many successive years
of potato bearing, the plan is worth a
thorough trial by others, as there is
nothing to be lost and everything to
be gained should it prove either fall
ure of a success in other cases. Treat
ment of the seed potatoes has not
proven an entire success for scaO pre-
vention, for should the treat3 I'd SEED
be planted in infected soil, the scab
appears, nevertheless.
Selecting Seed Potatoes.
That Improvement in plants and an
imals may be accomplished by selec-
ton of the parent stock has become
generally accepted theory. Probably
less work has been done toward i'm
proving the potato than with any
other of our great food plants. Yet
enough has been accomplished to
prove that no plant can be more
quickly improved both in quality and
yield than the potato.
1t has been a common practice IN
the Eastern States, and to a certain
extent in the West, among those who
grow potatoes for family use, to plant
only the small potatoes and cullS that
are left in the spring after the supply
for the house has been picked out
This. of course, is the worst kind OF
selection, and always results III de-
generation, or what is known as run
ming out" of the stock. Because or
this, varieties of one generation are
unknown in the next. On the other
hand. there are localities in Colorado
where the same variety Of potatoes
has been grown for the last rs years,
and is better and more productive
than when introduced.
A potato tuber is not a seed, but
part of the plant from which 1t came,
consequently characteristics OF the
parent plant are more sure to be re-
produced in the new plant than In
plants that are grown from seed that
are the union of the two parent plants.
little observation in the field when
digging will show that there is a great
variation in the different hills on
given area. One plant may have 10
or IL good-siZed smooth, marketable
potatoes. The next may have one
good potato with two or three small,
inferior potatoes, or possibly a hill
may have but two medium sized po-
tatoes of the same type as the first
hill. Now, if the selection is made in
the cellar, about as many OF the seed
potatoes will come from poor hills as
from good, and the result will be to
produce more poor hills, and this car
ried on from year to year tends to
decrease the yield of potatoes.
The best way to select is to take
good potatoes from hills that produce
nothing but good potatoes, and
goodly number of them. This work
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-05-01

the potatoes are smoother and of bet
ter quality than those grown in the
usual manner. They are also freer
from insect pests.
The method consists of preparing
the ground as usual then planting the
potatoes in rows about two feet apart
and sixteen inches apart in the row.
Ashley need no cultivation this dis
lance is possible. Cover about two
or three inches, then when the plants
begin to show, cover the patch with
several inches of wheat straw. Moth
ing more need be done till harvest
time, unless spraying is necessary
When the straw is raked off in the
fall the clean, smooth potatoes lie
on the surface mostly. A few may
need digging out the top soil with the
fingers.
For large areas this method is some
what extravagant as it requires sew
eral loads of straw per acre and at
digging time hard work has to be
done instead of using a machine. If
labor is cheap then this is no objec-
ton.
Early Blight.
This disease is very destructive in
tatoes are grown. 1t destroys the
leaves and sometimes the stems but
not the tubers. 1t appears at first as
brownish dead spots over the leaves,
especially near the margins. The
leaves finally become quite brown,
curl up, and become dry and brittle
and the plants have the appearance
of premature death.
Spraying with Bordeaux mixture is
a successful preventive. Plants al
ready attacked cannot be saved but
the disease will be held in check by
spraying. Where the disease is prev
alent spray first when the plants are
six or eight inches high and repeat
every two weeks during the entire
growth of the plants. Where the dis
ease appears for the first time spray
the whole field at once, and repeat at
intervals of two weeks.
