POTATO SEED
The Farm of DR.. Lenont, South
of Ely, Produces Big Crops
of Certified Seed.

Certified seed potatoes by the car
load" was talked on by Stanley Lenont,
manager of the Lenont farm, at Bah
bit south of Ely at the farmers in
stitute at the Northwest Experiment
Station.
He said the trainloads shipped from
the Lenont farm of 1000 cultivated
acres still are short ones, the longest
to date being seventeen cars in one
season.
The farm has been producing certi-
fed Bliss Triumph seed potatoes for
eight years and has established methods
that appear to be the best for the
business. Few short cuts have been dis
covered, Mr.. Lenont said, though usually
seventy-five to 100 acres of certified
seed are grown.
The certified seed growing was started
in a small way about eight years ago.
Having no definite outlet for the seed,
it was felt wise to proceed slowly. The
first seed was sold direct to couple Of
Florida growers, and a considerable
price concession had to be made to get
them to try the seed. Results were
good, and gradually, DIR. G. B. Lenont,
owner of the farm, built up outlets with
other Florida growers.
The first big year of certified seed
production was 1882, when fourteen cars
were shipped. A sales trip was made
into Alabama, and the potatoes were
sold direct to growers.
Results were favorable in 1892, and
the Lenont'S planted twice the acreage
in 1888 Dry weather shortened the
crop to seventeen cars, most of which
went to Alabama.
Methods used were described by Mr..
Lenont.
"An of our seed is treated with the
acid-mercury dip before planting" he
said. 1T is fast and economical, and is
effective in controlling rhizoctonia, a
disease to which Triumphs are especi-
ally susceptible"
The treated potatoes are dumped out
ON cutting tables, where two cutters with
rubber gloves can just about keep
planting crew busy in the field planting
ten acres a day. Immediately that all
the crop is planted, the fields are blind
cultivated and narrowed. 1t is culti-
waited again as soon as the first sprouts
appear. and twice again before blossom
ing. The vines are sprayed four times.
first when about six inches high, then
regularly till the last of August. It is
insurance against blight. Digging be-
gins when the vines begin to wither.
The potatoes are dug with digger and
picked up by hand.

experience has not been good" Mr..

tune inward to Jupiter and then an
abrupt decrease from Jupiter to
Mercury. Mars, at first, appears an
exception. 1t is considerably smaller
than the earth. which is nearer the
sun. The objection can be overcome,
Prof. Alter points out, by consider
ing the innumerable planetoidS in
this erea of space as belonging to
Mars, but unable to unite with 1t
because of gravitational forces Of the
great bulk of Jupiter.
Another noteworthy implication OF
the hypothesis is that the solar sys-
tenn may be much younger than has
been calculated. At least in the
earlier stages Of the process most OF
the particles shot from the sun by
radiation pressure probably did not
enter into conglomerations at all, but
escaped into space. Thus the solar
system has lost its mass faster than
would appear from the simple appli-
cation of the mass energy equation
Still another possibility pointed out
by DR.. Alter is that new planet
now is in process of formation be-
tween the sun and Mercury through
the gradual increase in density, which
eventually will reach the point OF
solidification, of a body known as
Encke's Comet.
DIR. Alters hypothesis makes the
formation of a planetary system a
normal, even necessary, consequence
of radiation conditions at a certain
stage in the life of a star. 1t would
lead &c the assumption that practically
every star in the universe has planets
revolving around it.
