A STUDY OF FACTORS INFLUENCING THE YIELD OF POTATOES 1213 



TABLE 50. RELATION OF INTERVAL BETWEEN CUTTING AND PLANTING, TO YIELD, ON 

 260 MONROE COUNTY FARMS IN 1913 



County, the amount of seed and fertilizer used was so influential as to 

 obscure any slight influence that the factor of the interval between cutting 

 and planting might have had. 



Growers in the Franklin and Clinton County areas, like those of Steuben 

 and Monroe Counties, aim to plant their seed as quickly as possible after 

 cutting. The average interval in 1913 was only two days. Since only 

 about ten per cent of the growers held seed as long as four days after cutting,* 

 no significant relation of this factor to yield was found. However, as 

 shown in table 51, the most dusting was done by the growers who held 

 their seed the longest.
