County Farm Bureau Column
Edited by County Agent

The potato exhibs at the annual
county fairs have shown that pro-
gress is being made towards the pro-
duction of potatoes of fine quality
and marketable. type They have
shown also a growing agreement as
to the varieties to be grown. The
fine progress so far made should be
continued. Z The growers should get
together for the purpose of still
more uniformity as to varieties, the
eradication of diseases and the most
satisfactory methods of handling the
crop. A recent inspection of several
lots of potatoes has shown greater
differences as to- type and market
able qualities than should exist. AS
it is, after all, a question of mar
keting product which will bring
the top price at the time of sale, it
is to the interest of the grower TO
use every effort 10 attain that end.
AS an illustration of uniformity as
to the variety grown, the Red River
Valley of this state may be cited
There, thousands of acres are devo-
ted to the growing of the early Ohio
variety and that section of the state
has built up big seed trade with
the southern states. With the, as
yet, limited area in potatoes in this
county it is even more necessary that
there shall be agreement on one or
at most two varieties, as it will make
possible the shipping of car lots of
uniform stuff and will avoid the
discrimination always suffered by
mixed shipments of any products.
The eradication of disease is in
the hands of the grower. Now is a
good time to plan for the planting
of disease free and treated seed If
not in possession Of seed of good
type, free from scab or otherwise
faulty, growers should try to get
enough good seed for their needs. If
unable to get enough such seed for
their entire planting they should at
least get enough for seed plot and
SO be assured of good seed for next
year. The treatment of seed with
corrosive sublimate is simple anc
inexpensive. 1t will destroy any scat
present on the potato and will les
sen the injury by scab where seed is
planted in infected ground. Whil5
all potato growers recognize the ad
vantages of frequent changes o1
ground and seed, nevertheless, man,
persist in using the same ground :
number of years furnish evidence
that scab infection of soil will ex
ist for not less than five years. L
lis therefore best to select for tn.
seed plot new ground that has beer
we'll fertilized a year<or so before
it's use for potatoes. Growers should
plan for seed plot this year an.
arrange with the county agent fo]
a demonstration Of seed treating.
