At Williston substation experiments tested potato planting depth, spacing, seed size, and number of eyes. Led by B G Scholander, early white optima yielded 220.9 bushels per acre with 60 tubers per hill, while wider spacing improved marketable yield. Small seed produced lower vitality and marketable output.
The Early White Ohio potato strain was cut with three eyes per piece and tied in hills, with May 18 harvest on par soil. Yield varied by spacing and eye-count, 36 bu per acre marketable with printf conditions, while larger-seed pieces produced higher yields and profitability according to table XIII assessments.
