Better Potato Seed
Stock is Recommended

G. L. Tiebout, horticulturist in the
experiment station, Louisiana State
University, visited the Irish potato
districts in some of the Northern
states during the past potato growing
season, and is thereby able to make
first-hand suggestions to Louisiana
growers on the value of certified Irish
potato seed-stock.
Says Mr.. Tiebout: GAS a great
deal of publicity is being given So
called certified Irish potato seed, and
Louisiana growers use northern
grown stock extensively, it might be
well to mention a few details regard
ing this certified stock.
wisconsin has completed six
years. experience in the inspection
and certification of Irish potato seed
stock and has just issued her 1919 re
port. Among the interesting features
the report states that certificates
were granted total of 61,835 bush
els of Triumph seed stock and in the
selection of superior strains attention
was given the Triumph variety, be-
cause of the mosaic disease, which is
extremely serious to southern grow.
ers, causing heavy losses in yield.
This disease, also known as curly
dwarf, stunts the plants and causes
the leaves to curl as well as become
notified green in appearance. The po-
tatoes from seriously affected plan 5
are usually small ard fit for Gull
pile only.
In brief, a representative of the
Wisconsin experiment station in in
Ispecting for seed certification, visits
The fields during the growing period
and rejects because of degenerate
vine diseases, unsatisfactory stand
and cultural conditions and varietal
mixtures. A second bin inspection IS
made after the potatoes are dug and
reflections are due to coarse, mis-
shapen stock, common scab, late
blight, rhizoctonia and general un-
desirable conditions caused by frost
injury and rough handling of stock.
''Now, it is not claimed that cert
fled seed is ideal in every respect, but
systematic effort is made to ap-
proach standards that are reasonable
and within the bounds Of commercial,

Choice Lamb Will
Be Ready for Easter

In all the sheep raising parishes Of
Louisiana, fall lambs are already to
be found, according to G. P. Williams,
sheep specialist, extension division,
Louisiana State University. With
only little supplementary feed these
will be in prime condition for the
block in ninety days, which means
home grown lamb available by the
first Of March and for Easter. Lamb
is most desirable and most desired Of
all meats for spring use; at the same
season while Northern tables are be-
ing supplied with last years range
lambs from feed lots, the Southern
trade may eat milk-fat lamb from our
own pastures.

which would you rather do? Pay a
little more for this certified stock, or
buy in the open market? Personally,
after visiting some of the fields in
Wisconsin where this stock is being
grown, would say that certified seed
looks like a good investment.
Experiments are under way, how
ever, at the experiment station in
Louisiana and other southern states,
to find out more about the perform
ance Of this certified stock under
southern conditions.
minnesota is also offering i'm
proved seed stock this year under her
new certification law. Better Irish
potato seed stock seems to be the
slogan of the day. We hope Louisi-
sana growers will see about getting
their share"
