POTATOES
Potatoes for seed should be chosen of a fair; moderate size, well-shaped, and perfectly sound. The tubers from a diseased crop should be rejected. Small potatoes, if they are well ripened, will be as good as larger ones, but they should be cut into sets with as few eyes as larger potatoes, otherwise too many stalks are produced and too many potatoes, and then the small seed is blamed for small potatoes in the crop instead of the mistake of the planter.
