n MEXICAN progress in the develop
ment of improved varieties of po-
tatoes has not been satisfactory
as compared with the progress Of lead
ing European countries, is the statement
Of the bureau of plant industry of the
Department of Agriculture.
The best European varieties possess
= better flavor, color and texture, par
ticularly for boiling and frying, but
these do not succeed when introduced
into the United States. If private grow
srs would engage in this work as they
have in Great Britain, Germany and
Austria, they would find it fasci-
mating industry and would undoubtedly
make notable achievements.
In America we have much to accom-
plish in breeding a potato with a
greater starch content. Our potatoes
are now lower than the German va.
rieties by from to 8 per cent.
Our climatic conditions in America
are so diverse that we need varieties
Of potatoes adapted to special local
tiles. Particularly do we need a heat
resistant strain that can more sue
sessfully withstand the high summer
temperatures. Disease resistance is an
other quality that has been bred into
certain foreign sorts, but is so lack
ing in ours that we have to quaran
tine absolutely certain foreign types
that might bring disease with them.

ent kinds of cooking might even be
found profitable. A variety specially
suited for baking is needed, another
for frying; close textured tuber is in
some demand for salads. The house.
wife today finds it necessary to waste
much good material in preparing her
potatoes for the table, particularly the
irregular, deep eyed sorts.
The use of commercial fertilizers uni
versal in Germany is unknown in our
western potato districts. Certain of
onr districts in Maine, New York and
the Atlantic trucking belt have al
ready found it to their profit to use
more fertilizer, and potato growing is
most prosperous in these sections. This
should become moro universal.
Crop rotation is of fundamental inn
portance to the potato crop in con
trolling diseases and maintaining pro
duetion, but in the United States only
the beginning of an ordered system
has been made. Germany has rota
tion Of from three to seven years be
tween potato crops. Nor has the i'm
portance of green manuring yet beer
fully appreciated in this country.
The problem of securing disease fret
seed has been met in Germany by al
official inspection, which results il
certificates being issued only to own
ers of disease free crops. Such plal

How To Grow Good Seed Potatoes

strains be developed, because there is
an increasing demand for fancy table
stock to satisfy the requirements of
large and discriminating class of con-
sumers who are insisting on greater uni
formity in size and shape and are will
ing to pay more for such potatoes.
The simplest and surest means of
developing high grade seed potatoes is
that of the tuber-unit and hill selection
methods. The tuber-unit method con-
sists in selecting from the seed bin a
number of the most perfectly shaped
tubers Of from six to eight ounces in
weight. When planted these are quar-
tered, as dropped, into four equal parts.
This is done by splitting the bud-eye
cluster in each direction from seed to
stem out. In other words, the tuber is
cut lengthwise.
Should Be Rejected.
All tubers showing discolorations of
the flesh or other evidence of disease
should be rejected. Plant the four
pieces of each tuber consecutively in a
row at a distance of from 10 to II
inches apart in the furrow. By allow
ing. more space between set Of four
pieces, each tuber is isolated from ad
joining ones and the grower can readi
ly observe any variation in vigor aud
uniformity between the various units
planted. By marking those which are
most uniform in size, vigor and type
when the plants are growing, the first
step in selection has been accomplished.
AT digging time the product of each
|unit is separately harvested and fur
ither selection made from those which
most nearly approach the size, shape
and smoothness desired. Only the pro
tduct of the most desired units should be
retained for the following season.
Hill Selection Method.
| The further conduct of the work will
consist in the multiplication of the Sc
leeted strains for field planting and
the elimination Of weak plants. The
lhill-selection method consists in market
ling the most promising plants during
the growing season and at harvest time
save only those which gave greatest
promise. Plant on the tuber-unit basis
the following season.
| AS to the advisability of planting
small tubers, great number Of tests
fin various parts of the country show
that the use of large tubers gave ;
production of over 16 times as great ;
weight of large tubers as the small
Etubers produced. The use of small seet
potatoes is only permissible when the!

NF the many causes which operate
" to produce low average potato

u pfouuce low average poLdCu
yield in this country, poor seed is
very important one. The American
potato grower pays too little attention
to his seed potatoes The European
growers, especially those of Great Bri-
tain and Germany pay very strict at
tention to the quality and quantity Of
the seed they USE This has led to a.
differentiation of the potato industry
into seed and crop specialists. The seed
specialist makes a business Of produc-
ing high quality seed, while the crop
specialist produces high Grade table
potato. No such differentiation, at least,
to the same extent, occurs in this coun-
try. 1t is true that in certain sections
we now have a well developed seed
potato growing industry, but compare
lively few growers in these sections.
are paying sufficient attention to the
elimination of diseased and unproduct-
i've strains or to keeping the variety
grown free from mixture with other va
rieties. 1t is believed, however, that
the time is ripe for demanding a better
grade Of seed potatoes than is now gen
orally obtained from either seedsmen or
growers.
A Vital Question.
The question of what constitutes good
seed is vital one. Pure seed from
productive plants not over ripe, uni
form in size and shape, firm and sound,
with first sprouts just showing at plant
ing time. Seed of such quality, if fur
nished suitable cultural conditions, will
seldom fail to produce a remunerative
crop. A conservative estimate of the
increase that might be expected from
the use of high grade seeds is certainly
not less than 10 per cent.
Comparatively little attention has as
yet been given to the subject of the
productivcncss or unproductiveness of
certain strains of plants within va
riety. 1t is believed that this is a very
important factor in the production of
large yields, as in any variety, If
studied clnsely, many unproductive
plants may be found.
The superiority Of immature over
mature tubers for seed purposes is not
as yet recognized BY the American po-
tato grower The European growers, on
the other hand, have long realized that,
other things being equal, larger crops
can be produced from immature seed
than from mature seed.
Experiments in England
Results of experiments conducted in
England show gain in favor of i'm
mature seed of more than 100 per cent
for table stock.
Uniformity of size and shape is a
quality which should receive more
Thought, and strains of potatoes giving
the greatest yield of fair risized, shapely
tubers should be cultivated. 1t is par
ticularly important at present that such

Russia italy to remain neutral must
eventually reach an understanding
with the triple entente concerning the

derstood is friendly with Turkey and

gale blowing, however, has caused
such heavy seas that the launching of
life boats has been impossible.
Early this morning four dead men
were found among some wrecka ge

they tried to swim ashore. Among
the wreckage also was a plank IN
which appeared the name ''Rohilla Of

is living. Tremendous seas are brei'k-
ing over the vessel and the members
of the crew can be seen in the rigging.
The Rohilla was bound fl ON Queens
ferry to Belgium to bring back wound
ed from France. She ran on the rocks
half a mile south of Whitby, seventeen
miles northwest of Scarborough at >
o'clock this morning in a violent south
east gale and storm. The vessel car
ries four nurses and several doctors
and full hospital equipment.
All the women were saved.
Every one of the boats except the
last one launched was smashed ny
the seas and washed ashore. The re-
manning boat was swamped near shore
and the people in 1t waded to safety.
Lifeboats with extreme difficulty
brought ashore two loads of the yes
sells passengers after which further
attempts at rescue with the boats
were abandoned. With 68 persons
still clinging to the vessel which lad
her after end broken nearly off, hopes
are entertained for rescuing these. Ell
forts are being made to get assistance
from other ports.
