By E. M. WILCOX. Department of
Agricultural Botany, and R. A. EM
ERSON, Department of Horticul
ture. Reduced Acreage
The prevalence of potato lisa-e
has greatly reduced the acreage of
potatoes In Colorado and parts of Ne
braska. It is probable nln tliit the
low priei ; of the pant y ar will have
a tendetv to discourage potato
planting In other sections of tb Mid
dle West. If It. works out In this
way, prlct thould be hotter next
f ason and this should be a good
year to grow potatoes.
Increased Yields
Whether or not it Is wise to In
crease the acreage in potatoes this
year, it will certainly pay to Increase
tlx yield per acre. i'his can be
don by planMrg GOOD SEED, on
GOOD SOIL, and giving the crop
t.OUl) l akk,
Home-grown Seed Not Satisfactory
Good seed Is the moat Important
single lUm iu potato culture. For
c niral, southern, and eastern Ne
braska, home-grown potatoes are not
satisfactory for seed unless speciul
methods ure employed in their pro
duction. The hot soil of this region
causes rapid loss of vigor. At the
Nebraska Experiment Station the de
terioration of homegrown potatoes
ranged from about 20 per cent the
first year lo 60 per cenjt the sei
etith year.
Northern-grown 8eed Pays
In these hum lions of tire Utte, northern-grown
seed potatoes should be
planted. Such seed usually costs a
'bout 25 per centl more than home
grown seed, but. the increase In yield
from Its use makes It worth fully 100
p r cent more than home grown seed.
Mulched Seed Potatoes
Potatoes grown In the cool soil un
d r a mulch of straw produce as vig
orous plants and as large crops as
northern seed and can he produced
at home at a cost per bushel littl
In excess of the cost of ordinary
homegrown tubers.
Select Smooth, Well-shaped Tubers
Whatever the source of seed po
tatoes, nothing but smooth, firm,
sound tubers of good shape should
be planted. At the Experiment. Sta
tion such need has yielded about till
per cent more than elongated, knotty
tubers of the same stock. Wilted
or sprouted seed tubers produce weak
f plants and poorer yields than the
1 d tubers that have been kejii iu
good condition.
Potato Breeding
By selecting seed every fall from
hills that produce large yields of uni
form tubers, a high yielding strain
of potutoes can be produced in a
few years,
, Dry Reft
The dry rot la caused by a fungus
that enters the tuber thru wounds.
During the winter the rot makes
rapid progress and this renders stor
age very dangerous and unprofitable
in many cases. All rotted tubers
should be discarded and the balance
disinfected before they are placed In
the cellars or pits.
Stem Rot
The fungus in this disease attacks
the stem at or near the surface of
the ground and results In the com
plete rdtting off of the stein or In
a greater or lesser rotting of the
cortical portion of the stem. In any
case the resulting stand la seriously
reduced. The fungus sinters over
In the form of small raised dark
specks on the surface of the tubers.
These specks are the resting bodies
of the fungus.
Leaf Curl
The exact cause of this disease is
not yet known The symptoms In
clude (a) an upward curling of the
leaves lengthwise, (b) a compact
growth of the top to form a sort of
rosette, and (c) the production of
Ullle potatoes at or near the sur
face of the soil or at other places
on the stem, even at some distance
above the surface of te soil.
Blackleg
This Is a bacterial dUxts Jhat ha
been introduced into various parts
of Nebraska, no doubt thru the pur
chase of Infecetd t.-ed. In some
fields during 1912 a. many as 1) p r
cent of the plants were killed out
right by this dlseuie. The g?nu
live over winter In the tuber and
hence It Is necessary to purchase
seed from fields which are positively
known not to have had blackleg In
previous years.
