the office in Edgefield. Those who
wish this kind of loan should take
advantage of the opportunity.

Certified Seed For
Irish Potato Crop
Clemson College, Jan. 27.—The
statement that good seed is half
the crop is essentially true in ref
erence to Irish potatoes, which are
subject to so many serious diseases
that it is not safe to use for seed
any potatoes other than “certified
seed”, says E. H. Rawl, extension
horticulturist.
This general statement Mr. Raw!
makes in part answer to questions
often asked by various farmers,
especially unexperienced commer
cial growers, local market growers,
and home gardeners: Are nothem
grown seed superior to southern
grown seed? Are western seed as
good as Maine seed? Are Irish po
tato table stock suitable for plant
ing?
Certified seed potatoes are those
which have passed two field in
spections and, one bin inspection
in the state where .grown”, Mr.
Rawl explains. “As it is impossible
to tell by. the appearance of the
tubers whether th.ey. 4 are infested
with the. serious Regeneration of
‘running out’ diseases,-such as mo T
sale,, leaf-roll apd spindle tuber,
and also because .external treat
ments do not control ttyese troubles
in eifcber ' it.' is
safe to plant, anything but certi
fied seed.
“On the average there is little
difference in the quality of certi
fied seed from the several stater
producing certified stock. Most of
the certified seed stock used in this
state comes from Maine, but seve
ral of the western states produce
high-quality seed stock. There
fore, the important consideration
is to obtain certified seed whatever
the source.
As an added precaution against
disease trouble Mr. Rawls advises
following the • practice of many
progressive growers who treat seed
for control of such diseases as
rhizoctonia, black leg, and scab
and spray plants in the spring for
early blight and late blight.
