Size And Shape Of Seed Potatoes Affect The Yield The size of the Irish potato seed pieces has a definite influence on the resulting yield of the crops, I says J. Y. Lassiter. Extension hor ticulturist at State College. I .... L .... . . , . .1 ivesuareri nas snown mat tne tato should he cut so that the seed pieces will be of uniform size, ave raging from 1 to 2 ounces each This is particularly important if the seed are to be planted with mechanical planters. Seed pieces of various sizes arid shapes will not feed properly and will cause poor stands. Small, thin seed pieces dry out rapidly and do not produce strong plants. The seed piece should be blocky and have as much skin as possible to prevent evaporation, Lassiter says. Mechanical cutters have been used to some extent by North Caro. linia growers, but due to the abun dance of labor in the past most of the cutting has been done by hand. Now that farm labor is extremely scarce growers are now looking for a mechanical cutter that will do a good job. Such a cutter is shown on a leaflet which has re cently been prepared by the Ex tension Service at State College and a copy will be mailed to any one interested in securing a simple mechanical potato seed cutter.
