e/i^ fiV & Mt a H° O f 0 POTATOES # may be in short Su Pply next year Home gardeners are called upon ur- ■ gently to prevent a threatened short- ' age of potatoes. Rains have played | havoc with certain potato crops and | there is. every indication that com\mercial gardeners will be unable to I produce otir full requirements. 1 There’s plenty of seed—there’s still time—-and, remember, every extra pound of potatoes you digwill reduce your cost of living in 1947. You may | know all about planting potatoes — * but then—there’s always some little J point we can pick up. If the followiing helps you to grow potatoes an ounce or two heavier per plant then it’s worth while. HOW TO PLANT POTATOES successfullyl VARIETY: Choose a main-crop variety recommended by your seed merchant. THE SEED: Be sure to buy only certified seed. There’s a difference in the price between selected and unselectcd seed but the extra weight of potatoes from certified seed more than makes up for the difference in original outlay. Buy this seed NOW and get it sprouting. Remove from the bag immediately it arrives, and put out on trays for sprouting “eyes up”. POTATO BLIGHT : Control blight carefully. Ask your seedsman for advice if in doubt. Spray with Bordeaux mixture after they reach 7 or 8 ins. high and spray every 10 days to be certain. an tjob SPUD SAVS m SPROUTING : Sprouting before planting r’-nires an earlier, bigger yield, and it ahr.i’s you to pick the “duds” before it’s too late. Also you can regulate the number of shoots for each tuber. Too many shoots weaken the plant—nffect the crop —so limit the sprouts to the three strongest on the whole tuber. Sprouting also allows you to delay your planting time until conditions are suitable. This gives potatoes a good start —and they repay you handsomely for it. Keep sprouting potatoes in the fight but don’t keep them outside in the mid-day sun. Destroy tubers showing signs of disease and rub off all useless thread-like sprouts. Sprouting takes 2to 3 weeks so get busy soon. CUTTING SEED: Each cut portion should have one preferably two sprouts. DON’T rub lime on newly cut portions as this dries np the potato—affecting the value of the seed. Dry slowly where possible—or dip cut part in wood ash to form a protective crust. Do not plant freshly cut tubers in very dry soil. PLANTING® If soil is heavy don’t plant until it drys out and is workable. Also don’t lime the plot just before planting, as this tends to make potatoes scabby. If you are adding phosphates or potash distribute it throughout the seed bed not under or around the. tuber only. Plant 2 ft. to 2'6" between rows row—3” to 4' deep then cover with soil. SPARE LAND: If you have any spare land which could grow a few rows of potatoes please use it. You will be helping yourself and New Zealand because the produce of homo gardens is an important item in the nation’s food planning. f FEC74.24 help fight famine grow your own POTATOES
