Preparing Seed Potatoes.
Trials with respect to sprouted versus unsprouted seed potatoes were carried out for the Irish Department at 67 centres in 16 countries, the potatoes sprouted in boxes being for the main crop of late varieties. There was an average increase of two tons per acre from sprouting, and in every country the average showed more or less of an increase. In the four preceding seasons the increase clue to sprouting has ranged from one ton to thirteen cwt. to two tons thirteen cwt. No stronger testimony could be desired.
