Farmers should have an eye to their
seed potatoes for planting. The expert
ence of thousands of farhers in various
sections of the country goes to show that
large potatoes for seed are no better
than medium sized ones, only that in a
dry season, if planted whole, they sus-
tain the plants by the moisture in them
better than small potatoes. 1t is not ad.
visable to plant the very small ones; they
should be fed out, but select those fol
seed that are rather too small for market
ing. Put in a rich soil, and in sufficient
moist season potatoes no larger thar
walnuts will produce good crops. When
one buys any of the new varieties il
small quantities, and desires to produce
the largest possible crop, each potato
may be cut into as many pieces as it has
eyes, and one may be put in hill.-Ez
