BIZ II. E.. FACKLER, Asst state Eptomologls,
Can sweet potato slips be grown
free of black rot. stem rot and
other injurious diseases? This
has been a question asked bythose
who are in the slip producing bus
mess. Certified plant growers
of Shelby County, as well as other
placesin Tennessee. have proved
beyond q shadow of a doubt that
disease free slips can be produced.
This season Tennessee growers
are shipping certified slips to
Mississippi, Arkansas. Louisiana,
Oklahoma, Illinois, Kentucky,
Virginia, West Virginia, an d
North Carolina and SO far, not
one complaint has been received
by those who are selling these
certified Clips.
These sips have had a thorough
inspection all along. The seed
bedded was certified, and inspect
ed both before going into the Dip
ping vat an d afterwards and
found TO be clean. From time to
time. since the seed came up, the
slips have been inspected and
have been found to be free from
disease BY the State Inspector.
Approximately 8, $50 bushels Of
certified seed were bedded under
sanitary conditions this spring
and close inspection has not shown
any injurious diseases on same
up to the present time. And with
the close inspection of the Missis-
sippi State Plant Board, not a
Tennessee shipment. either large
or small, has been thrown out.
isproves that Tennessee is pro.
ducing % good slips as any In the
South this season. To date, May
1l.thera has been 2.524. 200 Tenne.
ssee slips sold or shipped into the
ahaye named state. without a loss
|by disease. However, due tothe
adverse weather conditions and
||fhs Ttest lluHabsr Of 50 ! b. btdd !
|in tue different statesthis sasS.
slip movement has been light.
The bulk Of these slips went to
Mississippi and Tennessee. with
Missouri and Arkansas receiving
| the next largest number, around
Zoo, 900 each. Mississippi has re.
ceived. fortunately three-quar.
tiers ofamillioR slips and Tenne.
ssee almost that number.
If these certified slips have
been placed in the proper kline
of soil, that is, land that Is free
of disease. there is no reason why
Tennessee certified slips should
not produce clean crop of pota.
toes this fall.
Why buy non-certifed slips, Of
which the grower hassn guaran
tee, astQ freedom of disease, ii
order to save a few dollars, wher
he will lose many times the diff
ference between he purchase
price ofnon-certifed and certified
slips, when he digs his crop mex
fall.
Tennessee has started in
small way, but has been able t
follow closely thegrowing ofslips
thus making it certain that tn,
buyer secures the best possible
when purchasing Tennessee Ger
