METHODS OF MANUFACTURING POTATO CHIPS. iD 
score of 28.4 for two seasons’ tests, 27.2 in 1916 and 29.7 in 1917. In 
a 1-season test there was only one seedling whose total score exceeded 
29.7, and that was S 38595 with 29.8, a difference so slight as to be 
negligible. Many of the seedlings graded 29.0 or more, however. 
The lowest average score was 20.9, given to S 7322, and the lowest 
sinele score was 12.3, given to S 1449. In this connection, it should 
be borne in mind that those potatoes which were evidently unsuited 
for chips were not subjected to this test.
