We Learned Much in Is Years
Of Raising Seed Potatoes


of the point on the digger share so
we can dig deep enough without
getting too much dirt. We try to
dig within a week after the vines
freeze down, as we want our tubers
free from rhizoctonia, which forms
On the tubers rather quickly when
conditions are right.
Learned the Hard Way
We found out the hard way that
it does not pay to loan out our potato
equipment to the neighbors unless
they are growers of high quality
seed potatoes, as disease can be
spread easily this way. Some of our
neighbors found out the hard way
that it doesn't pay to buy second
hand sacks, especially those which
have been shipped in with early
potatoes.
We use an electric fan in each
corner of our cellar for a month or
two after digging to aid in ventila-
ton. A stove or some other form of
heat should be used as insurance
against freezing during cold weather.
Slow, easy digging, careful un-
loading at the cellar and well venti-
lated storage are essential to the pro-
duction of high quality seed pota-
toes. The buyer of certified seed
potatoes pays a premium for good,
clean seed and is entitled to a care
fully graded product put zap in new,
clean sacks.

Well Never Run Cattle,
Flies Together Again

BY VERL L. HUNT. Powder River County
WE SPRAYED own cattle and
w 1000 others for neighbors In
February for grubs. We found year
hngs usually had more grubs than
older cattle. Don't think we found
a yearhng without many grubs. A
neighbor watching the spraying of
his yearhngs a the pressure stream
parted hair ON their backs and
showed up the grubs, said, mo Won
der they are not doing very good"
We butchered a fat yearling one
week after spraying and only two
small live grubs were found of the
many under the hide. 1t must be

stove, by gee. There's no sense
shortenin' my life, when wind is
biting like a knife, by rammin'
round out in the cold pretendin'
/ amt getting old. Cold weather
stiffens up my back, but lots of
heat will keep it slack; so it's in
sane to leave this spot for any
where that amt as hot. Besides, a
snow scene has more class when
it is seen through window glass.
So let poor neighbor haul his
hay and work at chores most all
the day, I do not care how rich
he's got, I'd rather be just poor
and hot; he's not as smart as some
folks say, or else, like me, he'd
find a way to farm without no
winter chores so he could spend
more time indoors. In winter 1
don't keep more stock, or any
bigger chicken flock, than my
Mirandy can keep fed while l
avoid colds in my head. That
system works out very neat, it
lets me sit here by the heat when
ever there is snow and ice, or loaf
in town when weather's nice.

used 400-pound pressure spraying
for grubs and flies.
Many Uses for Spxayex
Glad we did not have TO use
sprayer on any grass fire but we
kept sprayer ready to use if needed.
We sprayed around buildings. No
flies. We washed cars, cleaned
greasy engines of cars and tractors.
I know it pays big returns to spray
cattle: (I) TO kill grubs and reduce
heel flies, (2) to keep cattle free of
flies in summer and fall and ~ to
kill cattle lice.
AS more people spray their stock,
they will see the benefit of building
pens in the different pastures,
rather than to drive stock to the
ranch pens. Spraying for flies has
gained so pounds weight per head
over ~unsprayed cattle, tests have
proven.
If you have 100000 head to spray
and you do it the profit should pay
for a real vacation at present cattle
prices.
Next to a good cook, a sprayer viii
give more returns on the invest
ment than most any other ranch naa-
chine near the same price.
I never expect to run cattle and
flies together again.

o1>Year-Ol d Masters
Tractor Driving

TWO NOTABLE records were
made when Freeman A. Halverson,
Lonepine, president of the Montana
Seed Growers association, harvested
his crop of Ladino clover seed this
year--the even acres of seed pro-
duced about $40 pounds and his
father, Harry H%alverson, who is 81,
learned to drive a tractor.
The elder Halverson, who will be
90 in January, observed his son was
having to get off and on the tractor
frequently during the harvesting op-
Grafton and volunteered to act as
engineer to save this extra time and
effort. Though he had never OPP
Grated a tractor before, he soon
mastered the handling of the clutch
and gear shift, and did a capable
job. His son thinks he may be the
only man in the United States to
learn to drive a tractor at the age
of 81.
The $40 pounds of seed harvested
from v acres will be worth
about So a pound, Halverson esti-
mates, which will be a good net per
acre.

a grand relief to the animal to have
the grubs killed. Anyway they soon
act more contented. Some cattle we
sprayed the first time were very
and when we got around
for second spraying they were more
quiet and seemed like some of them
knew what it was for.
Sprayed in Cold Days
We sprayed cattle very cold days,
so cold we had trouble keeping
sprayer from freezing up and no i'll
effects to the cattle.
Being short-handed, we did not
spray for flies early when we should
have. When we finally sprayed with
DOT for flies and saw the results,
we regretted not having dropped
some other work and sprayed early.
After spraying, cattle were quiet
and the only tail switching must
have been from force of habit. The
contrast was seen by watching a
sprayed bunch of cattle, then riding
ON to a bunch of unsprayed stock.
After one spraying no would
want to put up with flies ever again,
when flies can be destroyed at such
small cost with so much profit to
wner and comfort to stock.
One unsprayed bull with thou
sands of flies on him got in with a
sprayed bull mo flies). After the
dust settled, both bulls had the flies.
Two days later the sprayed bull was
again free of flies due to the lasting
effects of the DOT powder. We

potatoes for about 25 years and
have paid dearly for a lot of costly
experience. l have been asked to
give in this article some of the in
formation learned over the years.
First, l would like to say that a
grower of certified seed potatoes
should always keep an open mind
for new ideas because what we think
is right this year may be proved
wrong next year. Potato diseases,
cultural methods and market de-
mands are constantly changing.
Potato land should be of the best
and free from frost hazards during
the growing eason We grow our
potatoes on black sandy loan soil,
and we find it pays to plant them
on summer fallow on non-irrigated
land. We get better yields and better
quality. This also gives us a chance
10 cultivate the perennial weeds two
years in succession. Our best plant
ing date seems 10 be the last 10
days of May. An earlier date lowers
the quality and a later date lowers
the yield.
Commercial Fertilizer Used
We use 125 pounds of treble super
phosphate as fertilizer and about 800
pounds of seed potatoes per acre,
spaced about Is inches apart in the
row and rows AZ inches apart. We
plant about five inches deep and
seed pieces with only an inch
OF dirt. This shallow covering allows
the soil to warm up easily around
the seed piece, gives less trouble
with r~hizoctonia destroying the
young sprouts and makes it easy 10
bury the weeds.
We grow the seed for our own
Use in special seed plots and treat
with corrosive sublimate a week Or
two ahead of planting. Light weight
burlap sacks should be used for
treating, as heavy burlap sacks will
hurt the seed and will cause a poor
stand of plants IN the field. Heavy
burlap sacks should not be used for
the cut seed for the same reason.
Only new clean sacks should be used
for cut seed, as used burlap sacks
spread disease easily.
Cutting Seed Pieces
Seed pieces should be cut to a uni
form size as the planter will work
better and the stand will be more
uniform. We use a 1h-ounce seed
piece which we cut with rotary
stainless steel knives that revolve In
corrosive sublimate. They arr

several sacks of uncut potatoes, anc
an empty sack is hung under ths
knife to catch the cut seed pieces
