G W Ware of the Fruit and Truck Experiment Station says fall planting is feasible. Last year potatoes were planted as late as September 10, and this year September 1 due to rains. Under proper conditions the fall crop should mature faster, and tubers can form after light frosts. Spring potatoes can be used for fall seed with seed pieces planted six to ten inches apart for a good stand.
