POTATOES, SEED IRISH AND SWEET 
Seed Irish Potato Culture—Plant potatoes about four inches 
deep in rows 38 feet apart and drop 15 inches apart in the 
row, about % peck to 100 feet of drill. Soil should be well 
manured or well fertilized. A ridge should be thrown over 
the potatoes after planting and then leveled down just before 
they come through. Cultivate well until in bloom, then ridge 
up again and leave alone until harvest. To reduce seed 
piece decay, scab, bacterial ring rot and increase yield about 
13.6%, protect seed with Semesan Bel. 
Holding potato seed pieces for about ten days after they 
are cut before planting, thus allowing the surface to heal or 
‘“‘cork’”’? over, is recommended by potato specialists in the 
U.S. D. of A. Treat seed potatoes with Semesan Bel before 
planting.
