This crop gives the growers an e^rly | ' cash income and the opportunity of double cropping the land with f such crops as corn, soybeans, peaoil nuts, or sweet potatoes. >ly! While the Irish potato crop in | ee Columbus is relatively small as xt compared with other truck crops,; nt it is a part of a $3,000,000 in-' : dugtry in Eastern Carolina which "jis competing wun uuuvuua | growers, about 3,000 miles for J the Eastern markets. Much can j be done to meet the California j competition and improve the i | potatoes in this area. J.1 Here are some suggestions. (1), ity Under no conditions should potalx j toes be planted on land infested ias with potato diseases. (2) Only he certified seed should be used. (3) ler i Cut seed potatoes into blocky ed seed pieces which will weigh not ith j less than IV2 ounces. (4) Dig porn tatjes in the late afternoon and of pick up early the following mornole ing. j by It is highly desirable to use I i pickers attached to the diggers. This will help to prevent the sun te-1 from striking the potatoes. In j 1st I -addition, it will permit more w-1 rapid cooling of the potatoes j ied j when they are left overnight in :ed j the field. Exposure to direct sun1 nd. causes a rapia f ueveiopmem ui ( da soft rot. st.j (5) The greatest improvement I .-a- in the handling of potatoes can' >er be made by better organization1 of labor in the field and at the1 4,- shed.
