of the division of horticulture, Uglver-

who are beginning to think in terms
of seed for next spring.
Mr. Krantz says that whole small
potatoes are even better to plant than
seed pleces from large tubers, pro
vided they come from vigorous,
healthy plants, planted when
weather conditions are unfavorable
there is less likelihood of the whole
small potato rotting in the ground
than there is of the seed pleces cul
from large potatoes,

Mr. Krantz. “The small seed potato
