FALL SELECTION OF
POTATOES PAYS WELL
Farmer Can Get Good Idea o
Uniformity of Tubers Pro-
ducad by Individual Vines.

(By A. G.. TOLAAS University Farm, st.

II pays to select next years seed po-
tato tubers from the field at digging
time, better than to select them from
the bin next spring. Here are reasons
why seed selections is more easily
taken care of now than when the po-
tatoes are in the bin.
At digging time one can get good
idea as to the type and uniformity of
tubers produced under individual vines
which cannot be obtained after the
crop has been put in storage. Seed
should be selected only from vines pro-
ducing several uniform, average-sized,
true-to-type tubers. Such selection
cannot be practiced when the seed is
selected ont of the bin.
Tubers affected with scab, russell
scab. late blight rot. black leg rot and
brown ring discoloration due to wilt
should be discarded. To avoid the
possibility of getting tubers infected
with black leg rot or brown ring dis
coloration, the field should be thor
oughly inspected before the vines have
dried UP. Seed from infected plants
should not be kept; in fact, wilted
plants. together with what tubers may
have been formed on them, ought tC
