Frosted Potatoes Make Poor Seed Says Jackman Are those potatoes satisfactory for seed which were partially fro zen either in pits or in the ground during the October cold spell last fall? This is a question many Oregon farmers are now asking, advises E. R. Jackman, extension agronomist at Oregon State college. The mere fact that a potato will sprout is not an indication that there was no in jury, Jackman warns, as the eyes may be unhurt while the tuber has been damaged to the extent that It will decay quickly after being plam ed, causing a weak plant Jackman suggests that potatoes subjected to freezing be sorted be fore being used for seed. Each tu ber is tested by cutting a thin slice from the stem end. Those cutting without the characteristic brittle- ness of the normal potato had best be discarded. Badly frozen pota toes occasionally show no other signs except that the knife slips through them easily and without any noise. Any black or darkened areas in the flesh or a distinctly discolored vascular ring just under the skin are indications of frost damage.
