CERTIFIED SEED 
POTATOES 
IT PAYS TO PLANT CERTIFIED SEED; 
ALSO TREAT WITH SEMESAN BEL 

The most successful potato growers use no. 
thing but certified seed. Certification has 
done for potatoes what breeding has done for 
horses, cattle, hogs, etc. Less disease, more 
No. 1 potatoes and greater profit to the grow- 
er. Every bag carries the tag of the inspec- 
tion authorities; this is an assurance that 
every safeguard has been applied to have 
them as pure as is humanly possible. 
CULTURE — Seed potatoes should be cut 
with one to two good eyes to each piece and 
planted in rows 30 to 86 inches apart drop- 
ping a cut piece from 12 to 18 inches apart 
in the row. Cover potatoes about 4 inches 
and as the plant develops hill up to about 
6 inches. Plant in soil that is moist enough 
to bring them up and don’t water them until 
plants are up as too much moisture may rot 
your potatoes if they are not properly sprout- 
ed. Cultivate regularly after they are up but 
not too close, so as not to disturb the root sys- 
tem. Do not plant potatoes in poor soil as 
potato yield is strictly governed by the fertility 
of your soil. Use plenty of well rotted manure 
or from 50 to 100 lbs. of commercial fertilizer 
to each 100 lbs. of potatoes planted. Potatoes 
keep best if they are dug when the vine is 
about half dead. 5 pounds plant 100 ft. of row— 
600 pounds to the acre. Treat potatoes with 
Semesan Bel before planting. See page 25.
