May 12. ? There are two general cropa of potatoes grown In North Carolina. One crop la tor the early marke grow in the eastern part of the state, and the other Is a late or general crop grown In the moun tain section, explain horticultural workers of the State College and De. Bartment of Agriculture. For commercial plantings in ' the eastern part of the state, the Irish Cobbler variety is used principally. TJjis early crop is planted during February or early March and harvest ed the last of May to the middle of June. Shipments are made to the north ern markets. The seed for this crop is usually purchased from, the pota to growers of Maine and Canada. Some certified seed are being used and there is a tendency toward using more. The certified seed potatoes grown In the mountains of western North Carolina have been tested against the northern grown seed. Last year on 18 different faru.H in three of the principal potato qpctfons, the North Carolina Mountain grown seed yielded an average of 174 tmshels No. 1 and 48 bushels No. 2 and culls per acre, while the northern grown potatoes yielded 160 bushels o. 1 and 51 bushels No. 2 and culls per acre. 1 here was no difference in date of maturity. The home grown seed, that is po. tatoes planted the preftons fall to be tased for seed the following spring, yielded more than either the northern grown or "North Carolina Mountain ?gTown seed, but they -were a week to ten days later tn maturity. In the mountain section of the state the Irish Cobbler Is grown chiefly for tBe early crop. A few Early Rose are grown every year. For the fall crop the Rural New Yorker Is the main variety Used. The crop grown for the 'table use Is usually shipped to south, ern markets. In the higher sections of the moun tains the Irish Cobblers are being grown for certified seed. The State Department of Agriculture gives two field Inspections and one bin lnspec. tlon to the growers who want the in spection service for certification. SJast year the certified seed potatoes sold at quite a premium over the table stock. The outlook for the growing of certified seed is very promising at this time, as the growers of the early and South Carolina are very much crop In the eastern part of this state pleased everyone except a few huck ^,m the mountains of Western FARMERS SELL 8UR f- PLCS AT AUCTION , Wadesboro, May 12. ?
