Show TO SELECT SEED POTATOES Don't Walt Until Digging Time, or Even Until VineB Are Dea'J Mark the Vigorous Hills. (By M. A. COVERDELL.) Don't wait until potato-digging timo to select your seed potatoes don't wait even until the vines are dead. If you do you are as liable to pick out large potatoes from a small, undeveloped undevel-oped hill as you are from a thiiiy one. While the vines are in full bloom and show which are vigorous and productive pro-ductive is the time for marking the hills you will dig later for seed. Small sticks driven beside the choice bill serve this purpose very well. This insureB Beed that will propagate sturdy plants next season. And remember, re-member, both large and small potatoes pota-toes from a strong hill may be plant-ed; plant-ed; but any size, either small or large, from a puny hill never! Use the same care and judgment in your selection of seed potatoes that you do in selecting other seeds, and you will find it a little time very profitably spent. |
