ISSUE ADVICE ON
SPUD PLANTING
HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
IS INSTRUCTING PLANTERS IN
GROWING PRICELESS PRODUCT
As the time for potato planting is
now at hand, the department of
horticulture, college of agriculture, has
given out a few suggestions that will
prove valuable to the gardener.
The best type of soil for the po
tato is moderately retentive, ranging
from a loam to a sandy loam. For
the potato a fertilizer carrying 3 or
4 per cent of nitrogen, from 6 to 8
per cent of phosphoric acid and 8
to 10 per cent of potash is the
usual combination. Farm yard
manure, if applied at the time of
planting seems to have the effect
of increasing the prevalence of scab,
and for this reason its use has been
discouraged.
Potatoes should be planted at in
tervals of 9 to 15 inches in rows
about 30 inches apart. The depth
of planting should vary with the
season and the character of the soil,
and should range from three to five
inches. On very heavy retentive
soils three inches is sufficiently deep,
while on light and looser soils 4 to
5 Jnrhes is not too deep.
Good seed is the most important
single item in potato culture. For
centra and southern Nebraska, home
grown potatoes are not satisfactory
for seed unless special methods are

planted. Such seed usually costs
about 25 per cent more than home
grown seed, but the increase in yield
makes it worth fully 100 per cent
more than home-grown seed, accord
ing to the department of horticulture.
Whatever the source of seed pota
toes, nothing but smooth, firm, sound
tubers should be planted. At the
experiment station such seed has
yielded 60 per cent more than
elongated, knotty tubers of the same
stock. Wilted or sprouted seed tubers
produce weaker plants and poorer
yields than the tubers that have
been kept in good condition. The
seed should be cut into pieces hav
ing at least two eyes each, to which
a considerable portion of the stored
starchy material adheres. Different
growers have different methods but
this is considered a safe plan to
follow. (
The seed potatoes, uncut, should
