SECOND CROP POTATOES FOR SEE

In a recent issue of the Market Gro6
ers' Journal there appeared an artIe
by Louisville. Kentucky, farmer tth
has meat in it for potato groweri N
Sussex County, as well as in other A i
tions which have been depending, q
their seed largely upon nothern q E
stock. The Louisville section haze :
come famous for its second crop
potatoes, which, in that localits stic
sold to northern markets for dot
consumption or are held for tt nehh he
years seed. They are claime " on
much superior in quality to ffI S.5i-
potatoes, or even late pOtatOesis tbe
narily grown, and are said to take
best of seed for the early spriig eLvp nat.
The idea of this second crop ofl.l,;n,
ed many year ago. The essential ~ q
is to hold seed until early Angus. nc
late JulyHwithout sproutiDg or rotti4,
and then planting it at such a season
that the plants will be making theii
best growth when fall rains may be ex
pected. The Louisville potatoes are sc
held until July 1st, at least. Report
has it that 40, 900 barrels were thus held
in cold storage last summer, and the
crop harvested this fall should have
been not far from 700, 900 barrels.
The significance of this practice for
Delaware farmers is not in the fact that
good eating potatoes can be grown in
the fall months. but rather that good
seed potatoes can be so grown, better
grown in fact than if first crop potatoes
are used as seed for the second crop or
even if second crop tubers are held over
until summer in common storage. Grow
ers in the warm sections of the country
have long believed that stock of pota-
toes declines in productivity after few
years, and that fresh lot of seed must
be obtained from the north at short in
.ervals. At Louisville growers do not
