WINTER GRAIN AFTER POTATOES,

Many farmers do not iaisc many potatoes
simply because they have come to the con
cluslon that wheat cannot be raised after the
potatoes have been harvested. This | be .
llevc to be a premature conclusion at least
hnd that wheat after potatoes does about
as well, ii rightly managed, as if the potatoes
had not been raised there. | always plant
my potatoes very early, and consequently they
are tit FOR harvesting early, this gives bet
ter chance to get the wheat sewn ut the right
time, and must have great influence upon
the size of the future crop Many farmers
who plant late do not get their ground seeded
IN time, aud therefore receive but poor yield
as recompense for their labor, and Instead of
attributing the failure to The right source,
they pretend to believe that the potatoes ex
tract all the virtue from tie soil, aud that it
is The fault Of the potato and DO: of thci: in.
effectiveness. | have found that the early
planting potatoes, one year with another, docs
quite as well if not better than the late plant
ing and this cannot be Gulayorable to SO do
lag. -
When people plow the potatoes out they
should not plow all the ground up, hat mere
ly the rows; and when they get them all
harvested, give the ground good, substau-
tial p.owlug, aud SOW tue wheat or rye and
harrow it in. Ii they work ia this manner
they will get the potatoes cleauer, aud viii
generally have an average crop. y good
rolling will help the wheat, as it covers the
grains better, aud mashes the elods
sometimes give my potato grounds
slight maturing either with guano or barn
yard mandrc; when this is doue, but .ittl
should be applied; but believe Il good crol
of wheat may be obtained without apply in,
