TilE OMAHA SUNUAV L: JANUARY 16. 5 -A Nebraska Seed Potatoes Best Grown in North New Strain of Triumph Pota toes Produced in Kimball County Spread Fame of , State Over U. S. i Lincoln, Jan. 15. The discovery ui a new strain of Triumph potatoes which is strongly disease . resistant, is adding to the fame of Xcbraska as a producer of high-grade seed po tatoes, according to Prof. H. O. '.Vcrner, college of agriculture exten sion' horticulturist and secretary of the Nebraska Potato Improvement association. The new strain, which is believed to have originated in Kimball coun ty! appears to be peculiarly free from ? certain disease which threatens to be a serious menace to the produc tion of Triumph pbtatots in some northern states. This disease fs also injuring the reputation of these northern stages as producers of seed prtatoes. ! r Free From Disease. After a few growers "were discov ered . in . western . Nebraska who seemed to have strange . luck with their Triumphs, in . that they were r.hvays free from disease, ex'peri- ments were performed. Some of the -Nebraska potatoes were planted in Minnesota beside native seed. The Nebraska potatoes produced an ex cellent crop while that from the native, seed was badly ravished by disease. Further experiments were 'conducted, the range being scattered ver a number of states. Dr, W. A. S'uart. United States department of v-riculture potato specialist, told the V)2Q convention of Nebraska potato growers that in-" practically every JPase .Nebraska Triumph seed showed it- superiority over seed from other states. - , . - .. .: C It has been observedi for several! A-ears that the dryland' sections of! western Nebraska produce excellent I seed potatoes, and the college of ; agriculture has been endeavoring to encourage seed production.'. A sys tern I of seed potato inspection andi certification was established. Men who followed specified lines of cul ture were given the advantage of an inspection service and their crop was certified as good seed.. Receive Big Premium. 1 Growers of certified seed received a big premium for their crop this year. One man sold 2,500 bushels for 3 cents a pound, while ordinary potatoes averaged only about one- third that price. Another man sold his seed crop for 2 cents a pound. Both men sold to Texas growers, who are anxious to buy disease-free seed from Nebraska. .Triiuuicr man, who is saiu 10 nave one of the finest lots of Triumph seed in the United States, is holding his potatcos for 5 cents a pound.
