Northern Seed Best.
One feature OF the situation that
is perhaps not generally known, Is
that seed potatoes even for southern
use should be northern grown. Some
Of the most successful growers in
Southern California get northern
grown seed as free from pests of all
kinds as possible and multiply this
seed for general planting the next
year by growing an intermediary
crop on a convenient hill location
near the large delta fields. Mr..
Shima, the millionaire Japanese DO
tato grower Of the California Delta
region, has quite successfully prac-
ticed this method Of securing desir-
able seed for several years. The
fungous diseases that later attack
the plants grown in the low, rich
plains affect the first crop but lit
