Tha following news item given out
by a government official at Norfolk
recently will be of special interest
to the truck farmers of this section.
A good many truck famers in this
section were troubled greatly with
bad seed potatoes this year. A num
ber of farmers secured no crop at
all and nearly every farmer who pur
chased foreign seed had more or less
trouble to get a stand.
The truck farmer should read this
item and then get busy looking
around for seed potatoes in time, so
they will not b atthe mercy of the
tejdmen wHth faulty northern seed
potatoes,.
It is Announced by a government
official here that the Maine potato
farmers have ben faking- the Norfolk
truckers in the maker of condition
on the seed farms in that State, and
it is said that the probability is that
worse seed potatoes , will be sold for
planting here the coming spring than
the very unsatisfactory lot sold for
planting here last spring.
After the very bad luck with seed
Irish potatoes here last season, steps
were taken by the farmers to try and
secure good seed for the 1910 season.
To this end inspectors were sent to
Maine, where most of the seed pota
toes - have been raised, in order to
see just where good seed could be
ha A.
It now turns out, according to the
statement of the government officials
above referred to, that some of Cffe
Maine farmers entered into a combi
nation to gold brick the inspectors by
showing them potatoes In a good dis
trict, while they were not allowed to
see the poor districts all inspectors
that went to Maine, from the differ
ent section of the country, being
shown the one (good) district, and
the sale of the potatoes in that dis
trict contracted for over and over
again to different buyers, the project
being to sell all the seed potatoes
in that State, good or bad, as of the
one good district.
There seems to be no help for it
for the coming season, but the farm
ers are hoping to get better seed for
1911, many of which they expect to
be raised right here in Virginia in
the valley the seed potatoes from
that section tested at the experiment
station- here having, it is said, proven
as good, if not superior, to any grown
anywhere -in the U. S.
