SUMMARY 



Inspected 88 



Passed 49 



Screen 12 



Condemned 27 



It is of interest to point out here that of twenty-four farms growing 

 selected seed, as previously referred to, only three were condemned, or 12% 

 per cent were unfit. However, the undesirable characteristics seemed in each 

 case to be a combination of poor soil, drought, and a poor farmer. Out of 

 sixty-four fields planted from stock grown on the open market, twenty-four 

 were condemned on 37% per cent. Figs. 1 and 2 represent the extremes found 

 during the course of the inspections. Probably the average of fields planted 

 from the original selected field is represented in Fig. 9, and Fig. 10 repre- 

 sents something below the average for seed bought indiscriminately. The 

 average was a little better than this but in all cases it was very easy to 

 determine offhand which seed was which. The stock from the selected field 

 passed three times as many fields as did the other. I do not wish to infer 

 that all stock that can be bought on the open market is bad, but I want to 

 emphasize the fact that it is so mixed with weak stock during its handlings 

 that too large a percentage of poor potatoes are introduced. 



The trouble with the Bliss Triumph is the apparently long-continued 

 propagation of stock containing many weak strains of the variety, the
