Experimental Data.


Besides being profitable venture,
the School Farm potato experiment
was a means of obtaining some inter-
esting and valuable experimental da-
ia.
Cutting the Seed.
In cutting the seed we aimed to
make pieces containing but one eye
and weighing about an ounce. Doing
this it took about ten bushels of seed
to plant an acre. The pieces were
planted every 16 inches in rows 3k
feet apart. A fairly good stand was
obtained. However, l believe the in
creased stand and consequently
greater yield that would have been
obtained by using larger pieces, would
have made it profitable to do so.
Treating the Seed.
All the seed with the exception OF
8 rows was treated with formalde-
hyde. One dollar and forty cents
worth of the chemical was sufficient
to treat the 100 bushels of seed used.
In using the formaldehyde treatment
it must be remembered that planting
treated seed on ground that produced
a crop of scabby potatoes within the
last four years will not insure clean
crop of potatoes. The disease lives in
the ground as we'll as on the tubers
and the formaldehyde destroys the di-
sease on the seed potatoes only. We
found that the potatoes from the rows
of untreated seed were most of them
badly infected with scab. There also
were more unmarketable and small
potatoes in the untreated rows.
Did 1t Pay?
At the time the potatoes were sold
the highest price being paid was 9Oc
per bushel. On account of the quail
ity and smoothness of the school farm
potatoes we were offered 81 per BUSH
ell by a Minneapolis firm, and they
were sold. The difference in quality
was due to treating the seed. A diff
ference of 10 cents per bushel on 400
bushels is equal to SAG. In other words
we were paid SAG for a days work
and $1.4O worth of formaldehyde. Be-
fore the car load of potatoes left the
track an offer of $1.25 per bushel was
made for the lot but the firm decided
to ship them to Chicago where they
will be used to supply the fancy trade.
Cultivating and Killing
By the use of a harrow a great
many weeds were killed. The field
was gone over twice with harrow

after planting and before the potatoes
came up. They started coming up
and were narrowed June IL. The plot
was narrowed again on June FL. Har-
rowing after the plants were up sew
eral inches seemed to have done no
harm. After this they were cultivat-
ed three times. Some hoeing and
pulling of weeds was necessary to
keep the plot looking respectable.
No killing whatever was done and
we could not see where any good
would have been accomplished by do
ing so.
Let Us Spray.
AS soon as the potatoes Bette eggs
began to hatch (July g. the field was
sprayed. To determine what amount
of Paris Green was necessary, only
one pound per acre was used at the
first spraying. Apparently this was
not sufficient as they kept right on
growing and increasing. On July 10,
the plot was sprayed again. This
time three-quarters of pound of
Paris Green per acre was used and it
was enough to destroy the bugs. A
four-row pressure machine sprayer
was used. The potatoes were sprayed
again on July 20. The two sprayings
were sufficient.
Only about six acres were fit to be
dug, the rest being too wet. Four
hundred sixty bushels were obtained
from the six acres. Practically all the
work, except the team work, such as
cutting and treating the seed was
done by students studying Agriculture
in the high school. It was good ex-
perience and they were also paid in
full for all work they did.

asks the cooperation of shippers in
overcoming the difficulty.
"There would be no car shortage"
Mr.. Woodwork declared, "were the
railroads obliged to carry, in addition
to their own traffic, the enormus
coast-to-coast tonnage which was car
ried through the Panama Canal by
ships which have wholly deserted this
trade to seek greater profits else
where. Ship owners of course cannot
be blamed for doing this, and they
might have made some increases in
rates and kept their vessels in this
trade had it not been for transconti-
mental railroad rates which cannot be
raised without approval of the Fed
eral authorities.
eve have more than sufficient equip
ment to meet all ordinary require
ments. In the year ending June 80
1916, the Northern Pacific showed an
increase of 20 per cent in freight bus
mess and there was no suggestion OF
car shortage or congestion at any
time in the whole year. Business now
in sight does not exceed last years
volume, but an increasing proportion
is going to points along eastern and
southern lines.
wheat, flour, lumber and other
commodities are being exported
through New York, Baltimore and
other eastern seaports instead of 60
ing direct in ships, as heretofore. We
cannot get foreign line cars to han
die this business and when we fur
nish our own cars they are usually
lost for years.
1--WE can do nothing more than we
are now doing, but shippers can do
much to improve the situation. Re-
cords show that so per cent of the to-
tai car days are consumed in loading
and unloading. Therefore, if shippers
could load and unload cars in half the
time now taken, it would be equiva-
lent to adding Is per cent to our
freight car equipment"
