A portion of this bulletin is devoted to potato experiments by Professor Goff. In tests of methods of cutting potatoes, it was found that "the total yield was directly in proportion to the bulk of seed planted. But in merchantable yield, the two-eye cuttings slightly surpassed the halves and whole tubers." As a whole, the experiments " favor heavy rather than light seeding. Cutting off the 'seed end' was found detrimental to the yield".

"Of 122 varieties and seedlings of the potato tested the past season, the following ten were most productive, yielding in the order named : Seedling from C. E. Angell, Rose Beauty, Monarch, Duplex, Late Beauty of Hebron, Mullaly, Alexander's Prolific, Seneca Red Jacket, White Beauty of Hebron and Wisconsin Beauty. Placed in the order of their table quality, these varieties would rank as follows: Alexander's Prolific, White Beauty of Hebron, Late Beauty of Hebron, Duplex, Monarch, Wisconsin Beauty, Seneca Red Jacket, Rose Beauty, Mullaly, seedling from C. E. Angell".
