These practices are outlined by the experiment station potato special ists, who also list the following as minor factors of control: Kind of fertilizer used, cultural methods, checking of Insects that .spread disease, ami use of irriga tion water. The first five practices are most to he depended on. All of them must be considered if, the grower is to produce potatoes of high yield and good quality free of potato disease. Hesults nt the experiment sta tion in Corvallis show that morn than one of thene methods are nec essary, and that two or more such as rotation and seed selection must be employed on each lot suc cessfully grown.
