SHORTAGE IN POTATOES.
Suggestions as to Selection Of Seed,
Cutting and Planting.

Discussing the shortage in the potato
crop, Farm and Fireside saysi
Not in years has the country had 90
serious shortage in potatoes as al
present; in many cities and towns they
are retailed at present from 81 to $l.3O
per bushel. Maine, usually State ex-
porting thousands of bushels of tubers,
is herself importing them from Scot
land.
What will 1t mean at planting time
Apparently they will rule very high
in price. My endeavor here will be to
show how maximum yield may be
grown from q minimum of seed planted.
Government as well as State tests have
proven that larger yields may be ex-
pected from cut than from whole tnbers
planted. Upon the size and not the
number merely depends the yield per
acre one gets from the potato crop.
BY planting whole tubers, from four
to twelve or more stalks usually appear.
Three to five stalks to hill, while not
producing perhaps SO many potatoes as
eight or more, will, while yielding a
smaller quantity, grow them to much
larger size, and eventually the weight
will be more, much more, from the
former than from the latter.
While the price of seed has never
determined my method of planting, in
years of plenty or scarcity, 1 plant rather
sparingly, preferring good sized, market.
able potatoes to culls and marbles at
digging time. / aim to cut seed from
medium to large sized tubers If they are
smooth and conform to the type of vari-
ETY. planted and never use small, unde-
sirable potatoes for seed. 1t don't pay.
The seed pieces are cut as near as can
be so that one eye only appears on each
portion and il planted in hills, after the
seed has been thoroughly stirred to
mix them promiscuously; two such
pieces only are planted in each hill,
while if in drills, they are dropped
approximately l6 inches apart in the
row.
Three to four bushels of good tubers
properly cut should be enough to plant
one acre, from which, on good ground, l
have dug $50 bushels, and seldom get
under 200 bushels per acre, here in
Michigan, and this is not considered the
potato region of the State. With pota-
toes so high in price, feel confident
those who will give the above fair trial
will benefit.
