WHERE SHALL WE GET
SEED IRISH POTATOES?
I Seed Irish potatoes from almost
! any section of the country well
adapted to the crop may be planted
in Georgia with good results so long
as.a disease free, prolific strain of
a good variety has been selected.
The Georgia Experiment Station
has, for a number of years, grown
Irish potatoes, the seed tubers of
which came from several different
sections of this country as well as
from Canada. The data, as a whole,
indicates very clearly that the kind
and amount of disease infection
carried in the seed tubers has a
greater influence on the yield than
does the section of the country in
which the seed potatoes were grown.
A few examples are here given for
one year which was very unfavorable
for Irish potatoes.

The following year was more fa¬
vorable to Irish potaotes as indicat¬
ed by the following yields from dif¬
ferent sections:

The mosaic disease is one of the
troublesome diseases of the Irish po
tato. The disease is carried in the
seed tubers and can be controlled
only by selecting disease free plants
in the field. The Red Bliss or Tri¬
umph, so commonly grown for the
early crop, is especially susceptible
the mosaic disease. An inspection
of the tubers does not disclose the
presence of the disease, and grow¬
er.' have to depend upon the relia¬
bility of the seed growers and the
dealers. In some states the growers,
who make a specialty of growing di
free seed potatoes, have their
fields inspected by capable state of
ficials who issue certificates to grow
ers of disease free seed stock. Such
seed potatoes are thus sold as certi
fied stock which usually command a
premium over ordinary or commer
cial seed potatoes. Certified seed po
tatoes do not always give larger
yields than common seed stock, just
as a registered dairy cow may not
give more milk than a common grade
cow. However, the certified seed po
tatoes will generally produce the best
results.

BEAN BEETLE STILL
SPREADING THROUGHOUT EAST
In spite of the progress made in
control measures, the Mexican
beetle is still the most impor¬
enemy to bean growing in the
where it is found. In addition
the steady northward spread of
insect, there has been some ex
of the infested territory to
west in Tennessee and Mississippi
to the south in Georgia, says the
States Department of Agri
Although the Mexican bean beetle
later than usual last spring,
injury by midsummer was fully
r « ............... M - ■ r ......
up to average and many of the mid¬
season bean plantings which were un¬
treated with arsenicals were destroy
ed. It is possible that some of the
spread of the Insect into new terri
tory occured at this time, since
insect was compelled to migrate in
search of food.
By the middle of August the
beetlles became restless and few eggs
were deposited on the plants. Owing
to this fact many of the later bean
plantings were not seriously injured.

WILL YOUR SEED CORN GROW?
-
Many farmers have an abundant
supply of seed corn selected before
frost last fall and cared for so that
they may be reasonably sure it will
grow. Others selected their seed lat¬
er, either at husking time or from
the crib. In any event it is well to
make sure that the seed will grow,
Two kernels taken from each of
100 ears and tested for germination
will tell the story, says the United
States Department of Argiculture. If
these kernals germinate well, all
right. If not, the sooner you know it
the better. New seed may still be ob¬
tained, or the best on hand may be
selected through a germination test
of the individual ears. The field is
an expensive place to test the germ
ination of seed corn.
