Occasionally there is considerable interest in the question of the proper size of seed set to use in potato production. Many of the experiments that have been conducted are inconclusive. Some .have drawn conclusions from experiments without a consideration of the amount of seed planted in each case. Still others have drawn conclusions without a consideration of the relationship, that exists between differences in yield and their respective probable errors. Some differences in yield herein reported at first appeared significant, but seem less so after the seed planted is subtracted and the differences compared with their probable errors. In a case or two, however, odds were high enough to appear significant.
