Battle OF Brandywine, one finds some

CHECKS UP ON SEED
POTATOES IN COUNTY

j. H. Reardon, assisting E. R. Ben
nett, field horticulturist of the Uni
versity of Idaho extension department
spent two days with County Agent
Carl M. Grayson, this week, making a
second field inspection of potatoes
grown from certified seed shipped in
to Idaho county last spring.
While the season was considered un-
favorable for growing potatoes, the
seed is regarded as having shown up
well, and, according to Mr.. Reardon,
seed potatoes grown in Idaho county
as whole look as well as any in north
Idaho.
Growers are said to be pleased with
the venture and, while most of them
expect to put in a larger acreage next
year, planting what they have grown
this year, few will have certified seed
to esll. Practically all of the seed to
be sold has been spoken for bv neigh
bors who have seen good results from
the better seed.
The men growing this seed will do
their own sorting and grading, select
ing tubers ranging from two to twelve
ounces, free from disease and mechani-
cal injury and true to type. The county
