Small Potatoes for Seed 
(('ontiniied from page .‘JK)) 
enough to ruin thi' vitality of potatoe.s 
for seed. 
I’ooR Yield. —.Vfter the very liot and 
dry season of inil I carefully picked 
out from the 200 bushels of seed planted 
in 1012 every tuber that was long and 
pointed, with eyes clustered close around 
the pointed seed end. Most of tht.se 
grew good hills, but there were about 
70 “run-out.” weak and early dying hills 
which only jiveraged at the rate of 70 
bushels jier acre, both large and small, 
mainly small, while the adjoining rows 
idanted with ordinary seed and given 
e.\actly the same care yielded .‘>50 
bushels. ''Pile next year seed from this 
run out strain was planted and gave 1.50 
per aere. again.st 200 from the adjoin¬ 
ing rows, and in 1014 only 74. iigainst 
.‘>24 from ordinary seed. Every year 
most of the potatoes in this .strain were 
small enough to be culls, while the per¬ 
cent of culls in the field crop is never 
above six and often as low as two. 
Once run out, (ilivni/.s run out. 
I.\fectp:d Groitm).—O ther di.seases 
like the fusarium will not only kill 
plants before ripening and so iiroduce a 
smaller yield with more culls, but this 
disease also infects the ground. Kvery 
alT(‘Ct<>(l potato used as seed infects a 
fresh spot to attack cli’an sc('d when 
planted to jiotatoi'S for several years. 
The rhizoctoniii or “little potato” dis¬ 
ease certainly luoduces a large number 
of culls to each hill, and in some cases 
at least these are badly “run out” in 
vigor. When potatoes are small because 
vines were killed early by an attiick of 
late blight and rot. there is great danger 
that the potatoes will rot after planting. 
Inherited Qualities.—^S o we can 
see that the value of small potiitoes as 
seed will depend on their inherited 
qualities. Where the grower has been 
practicing the saving of his best hills 
for seed year after year by the tiibi'r- 
unit or hill selection methods, or if he 
has been going over the field before dig¬ 
ging and “roguing” out the weak and 
di.soased hills, he is quite safe in using 
his culls for seed. The joke about that 
is that he will not have enough to plant 
hi.s acreage anyway. Where the grower 
knows or suspects that many of his 
culls are caused by disease or degenera¬ 
tion. better not use them. In any case, 
a cull potato that has as long a shape 
as the normal for the variety should be 
avoided, because small potatoes are 
naturally shorter and rounder than the 
larger ones. In all other cases the 
grower must gue.ss what the price at dig¬ 
ging next Fall will be. If high, it 
would pay to plant large seed. If the 
pi’ice will be low small seed might pay 
because of cheapness, even if the yield 
were less, or it might pay to gi-ow some 
other crop than potatoes that needed ' 
a smaller costing seed, like corn. Every 
grower who expects to grow his own 
seed should plant a corner of hi.s field 
with large seed iuid save the bo.st hills 
from it next fall. The best way to solve 
the question of small potatoi’s as seed 
is to build 111 ) l\v .seed sidectiou (at 
small extra expense) a stock of potatoes 
which has very few culls.

Our three-(Hiaiter-acre patch of early 
sweet c*orn. Golden Bantam and Golden 
Red gave us 700 dozen. We started 
selling it at 25 cents and .sold it all at 
15 cents or hotter, be.side.s selling a great 
deal more of it for our neighbors. ()ur 
Sutton and Telephone peas did well; 
better than the short-podded, extra early 
kinds, blit we have always had doubts 
whether peas pay as well as some other 
things. (kirrots produce well and sell 
steadily for ii loug time. There are a 
lot of cari’ots used nowadays, more than 
most people suppose. The long varieties 
proved more popular than the shorter 
kinds. Beets, early one.s, like Electric, 
or Improved Egyptian, are good to raise 
and peddle. The root crops should have 
plenty of manure the Fall before, and 
some nitrate of soda once or twice 
sprinkled on while they are growing. 
The beets must be pulled just about as 
fast as they grow big enough, not leav¬ 
ing any to get overgrown. We had nearly 
KX) bushels of potatoes at $1 per bushel 
and 5(X) head of early and late cabbages, 
also a lot of hc’ans. but not nearly 
■enough to fill the demand, thicumbers 
blighted, as they usually do around here.

Bankers Lend 
22% More 
An investig-ation among bankers 
in the Middle West has shown 
that the farmer whose buildings 
are well painted can borrow on 
an average 22% more on his 
land than the farmer whose 
buildings are not so preserved; 
in some instances the difference 
is as much as 50%. Good paint 
is a paying investment. 
ONCE USED. ALWAYS PREFERRED 
pays in every way. It covers 300 to 
400 square feet instead of the usual 
200 to 250 square feet. It lasts twice 
as long as ordinary paint—looks bet¬ 
ter—protects better. It is quality 
paint; the result of 68 years of paint 
making experience. If you Yvant to

give your buildings adequate protec¬
