FINDING WHY POTATOES RUN
OUT AND ITS PREVENTION
Ii Aim of Potato Growers of the Wes
ton Mountain District.
Finding why potatoes run out and
preventing their doing so is the aim
of the Umatilla county potato grow,
ere of the Weston Mountain district,
says L. R. Jackson, farm crop spec
ialist of the 0 A. C. extension ser
vice.
"Here Is a group of growers who
go through tholr fields several times
during the summer, carefully rogue
ing all diseases and off-style plants,"
sayg Mr. Jackson. "Some of these
ynen will select their seed for the
following year."
. A profitable potato seed trade for.
<merly existed with California and
still exists to some extent, but last
year the delta region around Stock-
ton which grows 27000 acres of po
tatoes, obtained only enough from
Washington and Oregon for about
6000 aares. Like conditions prevail
In the Yakima valley In Washing-
Ion. Formerly that district Import
ed much of its seed from Oregon, but
now except for output of the West
on Mountain region but very little
goes there from this state?
This loss of the seed business by
Oregon growers was due In part to
the lack of any organized efforts
to build up and supply year after
year seed of good dependable si rain.
The same is true of seed for Oregon
plantings. Yields have not been
Increasing in this state as in some
ether places and the total acreage of
potatoes In Western Oregon has been
declining.
Thia lend to the certification of
seeds. But this service was no soon
er established but it was found more
difficult to grow certified seed than
had been expected. A whole flock
of new diseases termed "virus" dis
eases was discovered. They spread
so fast from plant to plant in the
fields that practically no disease free
seed
existed. Comparatively few
growers could or would take the
time during the busy season to rogue
their fields thoroughly a«* get them
free enough of these diseases to be
