Potato Growers Advised Re

Plantiiig This

A warning against carelessness in disease control measures in seed mtaln production this year is sounded in a statement released for publication yesterday by Mr. S. G. Peppln, technical advisor to the p E I. Potato Marketing Board, in ivliicli it is pointed out that the reputation now enjoyed by Island seed is the result of years of. inten- s.ve offoi-t, and that in the face oi present competitive conditions the maintenance of this reputation is of the first importance.

stand that some areas are actually increasing over that of last year.

it is a well established fact that the farmer is the greatest. gambler on earth. He gambles on the acre- age to plant on the weather, on the harvest and, last but not least on the price he will receive for his product. This is in direct contrast to the manufacturer who knows well in advance not only his coat of production but at what price he can and will market his pro- duct.

Important Factor:

Potato farmers can howl-ve'r exercise some control over their production costs by careful atten- tlon to the following factors.

Choice of and preparation of the land in the most suitable fields.

Choice or and care of the seed to be used.

Cultivation and care of the crop throughout the growing season.

Control of insect pests and plant diseases,

Proper timing and extrmne care in handling the crop at harvest,

The first and foremost require- ment is of course good seed stock. This appliu as much to the table- stock grower as it does to the certified seed grower. Next in line would be the choice of variety for the particular field to be used. If the field had in any previous crop year produced some scab then a variety resistant to that disease should be used. The Irish Cobbler is far more susceptible to scab than is the Sebago. Seed stock contain- ing scab should preferably be treat- ed with one of the standard dis-
