Seed Potatoes 



Many farmers in Hampshire County 

 are planning this year to pool their 

 orders and get a car-load of certified seed 

 potatoes from Maine. They realize that 

 the seed stock of the county is sadly de- 

 pleted and needs new stock. Prof. -Jones 

 gives the following statement regarding 

 the seed potato cjuestion: 



There is no question but that in the 

 lower elevations of the state northern 

 grown seed potatoes are superior to those 

 grown here. In the hill towns of Massa- 

 chusetts vigor can be maintained longer 

 without renewing the seed, but new seed 

 is badly needed in these towns. 



The Rhode sland Experiment Station 

 (Exter.sion News Letter, .Jan. 1917) for 

 six years compared the yields from 

 Maine and Rhode Island seed potatoes. 

 Comparative yields of late varieties are 

 given below. (The Rhode Island seed, 

 was in most cases, one year removed 

 from Maine.)
