MEANS OF HOLDING DOWN

While Montana certified Bliss Tri

college. Potatoes that run eight oun-

weigh 10 or u ounces or more are not
wanted
As to the hest means of holding
down the size Of seed potatoes, Mr.:
Harrington advises that the time for
most of the things that are effective
has passed Some Of the things he
mentions to hold down the size Of po-
tatoes are closer planting. use Of larger
seed pieces. even up to three ounces in

time to effect the size of the potato.
However. Mr Harrington advises that
the desire for small potatoes on the
part Of southern growers Is point
worth keeping In mind at harvest time
by seed potato growers.
