Seed Potatoes
Are Best From
Healthy Plants
The best seed sweet potatoes
come from healthy, high yielding
plants, and the time to seleéct them
is when you are digging potatoes.
County Agent L. 8. Watson points
out in calllni: a ention w a cir
cular about selecting seed sweet
potatoes by H. W. Rankin, plant
disease worker with the extension
gervice of ‘the College of Agricul
ture.
Selecting seed potatoes at dig
ging time will allow the farmer to
discard all bruised, dark, or other
wise diseased potaroes, and should
result in less loss of potatoes next
vear from rot and other diseases,
he said. Selecting seed only from
the hills that give the best yields
of uniform, quality potatoes should
result of high yields of good pota
toes.
Before selecting any hill for seed,
Rankin suggests that farmers split
the stem a few inches from the
potatecs with a knife and inspect
for signg of disease. If the stem
is green and bright inside, it is all
right, he says. If the stem is dis
colored or dark inside, the hill is
probably infected with black rot.
After the geed potatoes have been
selected from healthy, high yield
ing plants, Rankin suggested that
they be handled with care, cured
and stored in separate containers
or banks, and not handled until
bedding time.

' Brush dams are efficient gully
control structures. They are inex
uensive and not much labor lls re
quired to construct them. It is ad
visable to stake the brush down,
wsing either wire or small poles to
hold it in place. However, these
‘dams will last only three or four
vyears. For this reason it is advis
able to use vegetative "growth in
connection with them, This insures
erosion control after the brush arw
gone, ;
