WESTERN MARYLAND
POTATOES FINE FOR SEED
Tests Show Results Equal To
Best Certified TuberS
From Maine

From College Park, the seat of the
Maryland Agricultural College where
tests of all Maryland-grown crops are
made comes the news that the seed
potato is the tie that binds a small
but important potato growing section
of Western Maryland with the extern
sive early potato producing regions
of the Eastern Shore of Maryland and
Virginia.
1t is, however, tie that can be ma
terially strengthened when once the
Western Maryland grower realizes the
possibilities ahead of him and the
Eastern Shore grower gets better ac-
quainted with the quality of Western
Maryland seed, in the Judgment of
Fred w. Geise, professor of vegetable
gardening at the University Of Mary
land.
Mr.. Geisc, County Agent Oswald,
Of Worcester county, and County
Agent C. z. Keller, of Somerset coun-
y, together with a party of 25 or 30
potato growers for the Eastern Shore
Of Maryland, recently had visual evil
dence Of the fine quality of Western
Maryland seed potatoes. The trial
given the Western Maryland seed was
a part Of an extensive and valuable
series of demonstrations arranged By
the Virginia Truck Experiment Sta
ton at Norfolk and the Virginia Ag-
ricultural Extension Service in the
early potato growing sections Of
Accomac and Northampton counties,
Virginia.
The demonstrations, which were
designed to test the quality Of seed
potatoes produced in different sec
tons Of the United States and Cana
da as well as to clear up some Of the
puzzling problems in connection with
the use Of fertilizer and the transmits
sion Of Mosaic disease, were of par
ticular interest to the Maryland
growers who came from a section
where the production Of early pota-
toes is an important industry.
An extensive selection OF seed DO
tatoes, purchased from numerous
sources and planted under the usual
field conditions in the two Virginian
counties, made up the seed test de-
monstrations. The selections includ-
ed Maine certified seed, the general

Thomas on the night of the Fourth.
On Monday of this week many of
the farmers of this community gath
cred at the farm of Mr.. W. H. Smouse
where they helped to pull apart and
stack the ruins of the barn of Mr..
Smouse which was recently wrecked
when struck by the cyclone which
passed over this section about two
weeks ago. Mr.. Elmer Schrock has
purchased the lumber from Mr.
Smouse and will utilize it in building
barn on his farm near here.
Mr.. Richard Upcle had the mis-
fortune of having his car wrecked on
last Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Claude Sanders are
moving their household goods from
Clarksburg to the Irwin cottage Oh
the Beachy farm in this section.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1923-07-12

gave results equal to Z: better than
results from the general run. The
general conclusion reached as a re
suit of the demonstrations was that
the certified seed proved more re
liable and showed lesss inclination to
vary in quality.
The feature which is of particular
interest to Maryland potato growers,
however, was the showing made by
the Western Maryland seed. In all
cases, according to Mr.. Geise, the
seed from the Frostburg section of
Maryland gave results that were in
nowise inferior to the results from
the finest of northern grown seed.
The fact that Western Maryland
Seed potatoes give the Eastern Shore
grower as good results as he can eX-
pect to obtain from seed from any
other source, opens up the possibility
of developing the seed potato industry
| in Western Maryland to meet the
needs of the early potato growers in
both Maryland and Virginia, in the
opinion of Mr.. Geise.
1t is the Irish Cobbler, one of the
best-known of the early potato vari-
cites, which is most extensively plant
ed on the Eastern Shore. AS this po-
tato is grown for the market in the
Eastern Shore territory, the crop is
usually mature and out of the ground
by the latter part of July. 1t is there
fore impossible for growers to carry
seed of their own production through
the summer and the following winter.
Consequently, they are in the habit Of
turning to sections of the country
where cooler climates prevail and
where the Irish Cobbler can be grown
as fall instead Of q spring crop.
Last year the certified seed potato
crop produced in Western Maryland
totaled approximately 1000 bushels,
| but Mr.. Geise points out that the
early potato growers in Maryland and
Virginia use many times this quantity
every season. Maryland growers alone
plant something like $4,000 acres Of
early potatoes and the Virginia acre
age is yet more extensive.
