I dug a few up this a/m, about 20#
 
Mostly new potato size to, which for me is a perfect size for canning the 
ones I can't eat up.  I did find a couple of partially rotten ones, so I'm 
thinking that if I'm going to leave some in the ground I'll have to re-route 
the irrigation lines.  With luck the heat wave is over.  Half of the white 
potatoes still have some green leaves, so I left them alone.
 
In the other patch (red & vikings) one plant died overnight.  Looks like some 
kind of stem borer got it.  I dug it up to find out which kind it was.... Red 
Pontiac... at least I got 5 good new potatoes off it.  And saw lots of 
stolons, which hopefully an indication of the yields off the rest of the 
survivors. 
It is the Vikings that are doing extraordinarily well - even thru the heat 
wave the plants have flourished and are still putting out flowers.

The russets mostly only produced small taters, very delicious ones, really 
nice and white and firm.  Out of that whole row, there were only about 5 
really big potatoes.  So my first thought is that is not a good variety for 
the desert - at least not a good return on the amount of water.....  (Not in 
tires or rows.)

Yes, leave them in the ground as long as is practical.  That's where they 
are at home.  Some varieties of potatoes that I grow (for example, Yukon 
Gold) will often mature and die completely by the end of June.  But I leave 
them 
in the ground until October or November  else they will shrivel and 
deteriorate in the summer heat.

At the bottom of this page I have pasted another paragraph you wrote in
another post because I feel that this link addresses both posts.
http://www.theconservativespotlight.com/71/hawaii-admits-obamas-hawaiian-certification-of-live-birth-not-acceptable-as-a-birth-certificate/
or
http://tinyurl.com/m83hyz

Remember that there are three types of 'birth certificates' in Hawaii,
and he picked the one that is legally weak.
