WITH THE EXTENSION PEOPLE
INCREASE THE POTATO YIELD

One hundred and fifty sacks of po
tatoes grown on one acre are worth as
much to the grower as two hundred
sacks grown on two acres. The cost
of growing an acre Of potatoes is the
same except for picking, sacks and
hauling TO mark ct whether the acre
yields one hundred sacks or two hum
dred sacks. Frequently the lower
yield brings gross return which is
not more than enough to pay the cost
of production. IT is the high yielding
fieid-the excess yield over the average
for the state--that makes a profit to
the grower. "
CONTAIN GOOD PLANTS.
'The average yield of potatoes in
Idaho-yes. the best field OF potatoes
in Idaho-is made up of high yielding
plants, low yielding plants, and those
that are between the two extremes. OF
the many causes of high or low yields
in the potato field none is so potent as
that of good or bad seed. The parent
seed tuber may be strong, vigorous,
healthy with the power of producing a
high yielding plant, or II may be in
herently weak, diseased-of low vital
ity. Right now any casual observer
eau pick out all these different types
of plants in any potato field in Idaho.
We have recently been in many po-
tato fields in the state-sone good,
some bad and many Indifferent, and
have seen in nearly all of these fields
plenty of plants that, had the whole
field been like them, the yield would
be several times greater than 1t will
