T he s ta te of Oregon has for some
tim e past been face to face w ith th e
fact th a t Its seed potato stocks have
been ru n n in g o u t, and th a t such a
thing as a p ure v ariety of potatoes Is
ra re indeed. Know ing th a t such a
condition existed, and th a t It was ra p ­
idly g ettin g worse, th e Oregon A gri­

of giving special assistance to grow ­
ers in building up th e q u ality of th e
average seed potatoes of th e state.

Extension Service of th e College,
th ro u g h county ag ric u ltu ral agents
and county F arm Bureaus. Is th e re
a real need for such service? Look
at this. In 1920 a to tal of 130 gro w ­
ers in 10 counties en tered 494 acres
of potatoes for certification. Only 14
of those grow ers w ere able to "g et

men reside In fo u r counties. T here
Is only a to tal of 2670 sacks of c e rti­
fied seed In th e e n tire state.
T he q u an tity of certified seed is
not g reat, b u t th e quality is good.
N etted Gems lead the list w ith 1975
sacks. T h ere are 2 25 sacks of B rit­

445 sacks of B urbank.
