SEED POTATOES 
CULTURE—A sandy loam reas¬ 
onably rich in organic matter is 
considered the very best soil for 
potatoes. However, any soil that is 
light and easily worked and con¬ 
tains a good supply of plant food 
will grow potatoes successfully. It 
is not advisable to apply fresh 
manure just before the tubers are 
planted. Fresh manure, besides 
causing a number of diseases on 
the tuber, contains too large a 
supply of nitrogen, which pro¬ 
duces too rank a growth at the 
expense of the tubers.
