POTATO ADVICE FOR COLORADO
FARMERS.

Under favorable conditions. very fair
crops of potatoes have been grown
from potato peelings. Seedmen often

| cut out and sent by mail In oiled pa.
per boxes. In times of craze over new
varieties, rooted potato sprouts have
been sold for extravagant sums.
In this. however, II Is forgotten that
the seed piece Is source both OF
food and moisture as well as OF life,
and that. II large enough. It makes pos
sfbly the extremely rapid growth OF
thrifty fields Of potatoes.
Many experiments conclusiveIy show
that a seed piece two ounces In weight
is better size than lighter one: and
the net profit has been shown TO be
greater from half or even from whole,
medium sized potatoes. than from
small seed pieces. Each grower must
decide for himself If he wishes to In.
vest In the cost OF large seed, and
whether or not his planter will handle
1t.
Large potatoes true to type are truer
to Inheritance on the average than
small potatoes true to type, and small
seed Is undesirable also because the
poor hills produce the larger per cent
of small tubers. There Is little doubt
that continued use OF small seed makes
varieties run out. On the other hand.
small. whole seed is dropped much
more perfectly by the planters. and is
less subject to drying out and to rot
than the cut pieces of large potatoes.
The usual compromise between inner.
itance and cost OF seed Is the use OF
medium sized tubers. When small or
other whole seed is used. IT is most
important not to break off the first
most vigorous sprouts, Tor with these
destroyed, the tuber throws out innu-
merabh small sprouts. and there arc
apt TO be many small potatoes grown.
We believe the vigor and size of the
seed piece OF more importance than
the number OF eyes. In cutting the
pieces should be chunky and not thin.
face possible.
Under arid conditions. thin seeding
Is desirable together with the large
seed pieces, made by cutting out all
eyes but one with curved. pointed
knife. Good sized seed is OF more
Importance for early potatoes than for
late sorts which grow sometimes be-
fore setting tubers.
