Seed potatoes for Iowa growers 1922 watchful import urged
C L Fitch of Iowa State College truck corps warns Iowa farmers to import new seed potatoes from northern regions to safeguard the 1922 crop. He notes 75 000 acres of early Ohios damaged by last summer’s heat, risking about a quarter of the state crop if home seed is used. With 100 900 acres of total potatoes, careful seed selection could save at least one fourth. A good seed supply could also insure seed for another season. He also cites soybeans as a valuable forage and hay source, equivalent to oil meals in feeding value, suggesting bulletin No 65 for details.
