THREE POTATO VARIETIES YIELD BEST IN INDIANA

Of 25 varieties tested out over Indiana during the last few years, Irish Cobbler and Early Ohio have proven to be the best varieties of potato.es for early planting and Rurals for late planting, according to F. C. Gaylord, of tile horticultural extension staff of Purdue university, who has had charge of this work. Rurals are commonly known as Rural New Yorker, Sir Walter Raleigh, White Giant, Carmen Nd. 3, Late Mosely and Russet Rurals. Avoid Green Mountains, which also go ’ by the names of Gold Coin, Uncle Sam, Salte of Maine and Empire State, warns Mr. Gaylord, as this variety has failed to withstand droughts.
