Government Experts Say
Use of Whole Seed Smids
Will GiveJBetter Yields
Experts in the bureau of plant in
dustry. United States department of
agriculture, have conducted a series
of experiments in potato growth, the
results of which are published in a
lepartment bulletin which has just
been issued. The information con--tarned
is of interest not only to the
plant physiologist but also to the prac
tical grower, as a knowledge of the
relation of the setting and subsequent
-.levelopment of tubers of the potato
may, to a certain extent, be put to
practical use.
Tuber formation, the department
experts state, begins in general at
about the end of the period of flower
bud development although this is not
in cases an exact criterion. Experi
ments showed that the number, as well
as the size, of potatoes in a hill in
creased for several weeks after the
first potatoes were large enough to dig
A small increase in the weight of
rubers was found to occur after the
vines hail lieen killed by frost. The
maximum rate of growth of the tub
ers was found to occur about the last
of August or first of September, which
xvas approximately 0 days after
planting.
An interesting development of the
experiments was that the number and
weight of tutors per hill were found
to be influenced by the size and the
nted. Whole potatoes
used as seed yielded heavier than half
potatoes, and these more man quar
ters, and the larger the seed piece the
greater the yield per hill. A whole
lotato used as seed yielded more than
half or quarter potato of equal weight.
The experiments showed that ap
parently light soils are better for po
tatoes than heavy oils. The lowest
tu tiers, with respect to
both number and weight per hill, was
an the heaviest soil; the highest num-,
liers and yields were produced on the
lightest soil. The department experts .
deem it possible, however, that these '
results might be modified somewhat j
under different climatic conditions.
Two-year tests with irrigation in-'
dicate that the early application of
xsater before tuber formation had
started resulted in an increase in the
number of tubers, as well as in the
weight per hill. Late irrigation actu-
idly increased the weight but made lit
tle difference in the number of tubers
per hill. The irrigated experiments
were not carried to a final conclusion,
but indicate that each application of
water at almost any period in the
growth of the plant, provided exces
sive quantities are not used, may he
xpected to produce pn increase in the
v eight of the crop, but that little or
no increase in the number of tubers
is likely to resu't from irrigation af
