Unripe Potatoes Best for Seed.


In recent lecture in the Columbia
university agricultural course Profess
sor Frank j. App, Of the New Jersey
college Of agriculture, told of success
potato farmers in his state were hav-
ing with the new idea of saving seed.
According to Professor App, the secret
Of the virility of northern grown seed
does not lie primarily in the latitude
or the climate in which they are grown
but in the fact that the season being
short the frost kills the vines before
the tubers are fully matured. It has
been found that potato, when it be-
comes fully ripe, loses much Of it's
terminating vitality and while the
last few weeks Of it's growth greatly
improves it for table use, it's progeny
are much more likely to be weaklings.
To get the best home seed, Profess
sor App says the Jersey growers make
a separate planting Of the best and
most hearty tubers they can find in
their stock. The seed plot is not plant
ed till early July, so that frost catches
the vines, kills them off, and stops
growth just when the immature tubers
are at the height of their vigor. The
potatoes from the seed plot are special
ly stored and cared for, and are not
only used for general seeding but for
planting the seed plot the next season.
Added to Professor Apps testimony
regarding the success of the new me-
thod in New Jersey came almost
the same day a description Of method
nearly identical, practiced by Lon D.
Sweet Of Colorado, recognized as one
of the foremost potato growers in
America, whose crops often run as
high as 500 bushels an acre. So high
does Mr.. Sweet stand that Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover called upon him to
come to Washington to act as advisor
on all questions regarding potato cul-
ture. Describing his method in the
Country Gentleman, Mr.. Sweet said
that he had come to know that to i'm
prove potato the principles Of selec-
ton in vogue among live stock men
must be adopted. He began by select
ing from the best producing fields po-
tatoes true to type and smooth. .
These were planted whole, early in
July, in beds prepared with the great
est care, in rows thirty inches apart
and hills ten inches apart. "When
frost kills the vines in our seed plots,
usually about the middle of Septem-
her," he continues, ''the potatoes in
the hills are about the size of a hens
egg. They are immature. When the
vines have reached their growth and
their strength begins to go down into
the tubers at their roots it is very
easy matter to detect diseased plants
and those that are run-outs. These
we hunt. for. When we find them we
will pull them up, vines and potatoes,
and destroy them or feed them to our
pigs. We select the best seed from
this plot for the seed plot the follow
ing year. And by sticking to these
simple rules we have bred up our po-
tato stock so that our potatoes have
taken several sweepstake prizes for
quality and quantity"
