reduces the amount you must bed for plant! . ■ ■ ' The idea is to get £c, potatoes to push out sprouts the kmgests of which are one and one-half inches by the time the farmer is ready to bed them. Pre-sprouting is most beneficial for slow, poor sprouting varieties such ag Gold Rush, Nugget and Centennial. It takes 30 days for these three. Porto Pico can be pre sprouted In 21 days. “We have been recommending 25 bushels of Gold Rush to produce enough plants in two pullings to to set an acre in the field. If you pre-sprout, you can reduce this to 15 bushels, a 10 bushel savings per acre. This amounts to $40 to $50 an acre,” Covington pointed out. The seed stock should be given ideal curing conditions for 30 days just prior to bedding. The ideal conditions are 85 degrees F„ and 90 per cent relatively humidity. Covington said that while most curing facilities may not be; tight enough to maintain the idealhumid ity, this doesn't mean pre-sprout ing can’t be done. • . It does mean that the process may take longer and the sprout production -may not be as great The air ..where the potatoes hre being pre-sprouted must be kept as moist as possible. The walls should be sprayed at leasti twice daily and the floor should be wet if it is soil or concrete. The humidity shouldn’t be main tained at 10b per cent nor should the surface of jthe 'potatoes be kept completely wet. These conditions will produce white rootlets. After preffsprouting "the usual recommended practices of seed treatment .add bedding should .be followed, according to Covington. He cautioned that the potatoes shouuld be placed in the bed-care’1 fully with Shc/roots situated so that the sprouts art as near straight ,ii| as practical. "Be careful to cove: with soil inches deep sprouts remain upright,” he A few of dJje longer sprout^ be showing, when the job is' pleted but-the farmer should nol be concerned about these, said Covington. ’ The plastic .cover should be used as usual, removing lit. .during th< day when the pigjpi^jgnieTaH) start emerging. maj be needed for cold'sfiittji^iiid-iaft frost. —m _ SMBjifo “Don’t bed top early," ton warned.
