Su,erfic,aI area q the s.ste.


According to the following note from the
Hon. b. Hem, of Fairfield, which we are
permitted to copy, it seems that the area Of
our State, in square miles, is, by several
thousands, greater than before supposed

HIS ExcELLENcY, JAxEs w. GRIMES,
Governor of I,wd.
DEAR SIR While at Washington City,
in making the selection Of lands for the
Railroad Companies, learned an importent
fact, which desire to make public through
you. .--,--.,. sa
1t appears, on investigation that the area
of the State of Iowa is larger to the. extent
of4,l 66 square miles or $500, $50 square
acres (more than the size of the State of
Connecticut), than has heretofore been COM
puted. a- ri :.
: Previous computations (carried into all
the public documents) have placed the area
Of Iowa at 50,9l4 square miles, 32,5S4 800
acres.
Mr.. A. R. Parker, craftsman of the House
of Representatives, and u very acurate com.
puter, has Just finished an estimate made
from the official surveys (as far rs compu-
ted) and from the official data of that por-
ton not surveyed; from which it appears
that the actual area of our State is $1,000
square miles, or IS, S9l 200 acrcs-exceed-
ing the previous computations 5, lS6 square
miles, or 1906, 240 acres. R sr1rs

Planting Potatoes.


TO prepare field for a good crop of po-
tatoes select a sandy loan, seed ID with clo-
yer, which is mown or pastured the year
previous, if such is on the farm, and pillow
It twelve inches deep, about the middle of
May; by that time the clover will have star
ted we'll and it will furnish good coat of
manure to turn under. After blowing is
done, roll with heavy roller, and then har-
row thoroughly; after which mark out the
field with small corn pillow, in straieh hit
rows both ways, about three feet apart, and
us deep as the pillow will run and not to dis
turb the sod. The field is then ready for
planting, which should be done imm ,diat Ely.
The potatoes may be cut few days before
planting, to save time. About six or eight
bushels to the acre may be planted. Cut
middling sized potatoe into four pieces
and put two pieces in each hill Drop them
by hand, and cover with hoe three or four
inches deep. .,' - RI ..... p. .-
Before the potatoes break through the
ground, harrow the field thoroughly with a
light harrow, to destroy all the weeds that
may have started, which will greatly facili-
ate the first hoeing, and disturb the potatoes
but very little. lei a.---aaz5 . - . q :
For the first hoeing use the corn cultiva-
weeds are not to be feared let them grow 4
few days longer end cultivate again, and
follow with the hoe, putting very little dirt
up to the potatoes, and leaving fat Ii L.
The second hoeing, use shovel-plowl or a
horse hoe, which will throw up the dirt on
each side of the hills, and leave a perfect
hill and very little to be done with the hoe.
After this the ground should he kept clean
frnp II Il Al
horse cnltivstor should be used between the
rows as before ....s ---.ss., ...s-.. s..a
The kinds to plant for fine quality and
command the highest price in market are
Mcxicans, Purple MERGERS, Carriers, and
Blue aud white pink-eyes. For early pota-
toes, White Mountain Junes and Early
Junes. For late crop, Long Johns, English
Whites, Flesh-colored and Round Pink eyes.

make his paper readable one. 1t will give
