among the 26 states that are rendering
this service ,second in the production
| of Russets, third in White Rurals and
seventh in the Cobbler type which in-
cludes Nittany.
Seed growers report good sales this
spring ,especially for the Nittany and
Katahdin varietics. Russets are rapid-
! ly, moving out but there is still some
; stock available,
Seed stocks come through storage
| in excellent condition and are grading
| out with very little loss. The potatoes
| are clean, bright, showing very few
blemishes and range from small to me-
dium in size. Small sizes seed ranging
from one and one-half inches to one
and seven-eighth inches are in great
est demand compared to the supply
available. These small sized potatoes
are planted whole and generally sell
on the same price level as the No. 1 |
grade which range from one and sev-
en-eighth inches to 10 ounces in size.
Potato growers found that the small
sized potatoes are more economical to
plant since there is no outlay for cut-
ting and the same quantity of
sized potatoes will plant a larger ar-
ea than the larger cut potatoes.
When buying seed potatoes always
insist on having the certification tags
attached to the containers. If the tags
attached to the sacks and the potatoes
