Raise Potatoes.


one year ago potatoes sold quickly at one
dollar per bushel, and when spring opened
all the farmers planted more than usual of
them, expecting equally as good prices in the
autumn. They were almost sure to be dis
appointed. When everybody goes to raising
potatoes largely, prices are sure to be low,
and they have been low the past winter. The
coming spring the tendency will be to dis
card potato raising and engage in some other
enterprise. The consequence is likely to be
that the Colorado beetle will seriously dam
age those that are planted; that the crop
will be light and prices next autumn unusu-
ally high.
Farmers, like other people, are much in
clined to go with the crowd. 1t is pretty
safe to adopt as rule to go in the opposite
direction from that of the crowd. When
everybody else is raising potatoes largely,
plant sparingly. When others abandon po-
tato raising, then engage in it. When every
body wants to buy sheep, sell sheep, then
when everybody wants to sell sheep buy
freely.
Acting on this precept we advise farmers to
plant potatoes the coming season not extern
sively, but according to the amount of fer
tilizers available to apply to them. The
ground should be fertilized sufficiently TO
yield two hundred bushels per acre, and then
the owner can afford to take care of them
and fight the Colorado beetle.-Lepiston
