CONSIDERATIONS OF SEED 65 



2. An increase in the size of the seed from one eye 

 to half a potato produces an increase in the net value 

 of the crop. 



A comparison of the half potato with the two e3^es 

 shows that : 



1. For the total yield (large and small) of 95 ex- 

 periments, 76 are in favor of the half potato and 19 

 in favor of two eyes. 



2. For marketable yield (total less small) of 73 ex- 

 periments, 58 are in favor of the half potato and 15 in 

 favor of the two eyes. 



3. For net marketable yield (marketable less amount 

 of seed) of 30 experiments, 23 are in favor of the half 

 potato and 7 in favor of the two eyes. 



4. For net value of crop (value of crop less value of 

 seed) of 30 experiments, 22 are in favor of the half 

 potato and 8 in favor of two eyes. 



A comparison of the whole potato with the half 

 potato shows that : 



1. For the total yield (large and small) of 54 ex- 

 periments, 46 were in favor of the whole potato and 8 

 in favor of the half potato. 



2. For the marketable yield (total less small) of 42 

 experiments, 36 were in favor of the whole potato and 

 6 in favor of the half potato. 



3. For the net marketable yield (marketable less 

 amount of seed) of 13 experiments, 7 are in favor of the 

 whole potato and 6 in favor of the half potato. 



4. For the net value of crop (value of marketable 

 less value of seed planted) of 12 experiments, 7 are in 

 favor of the whole potato and 5 in favor of the half 

 potato.
