The Late Planting Of Potatoes.

have for years found it to my advantage
to plant more or less of my principal crop
(which is potatoes) quite late in the season.
This generally gives larger yield, and affords
more time in the spring to subdue and prop.
erly till the ground before the planting,
which is done to much better advantage than
when such tilling is confined to the rows of
planted crop. By adopting this plan the
farmer will not lose much time, because at
that advanced season and with seed-bed in
so good filth, the potatoes will grow rapidly,
so as to generally mature not more than two
weeks later than others of the same kind
planted two months before. And this, of late
years, since the appearance of the Colorado
beetle, has been the principal inducement
with me for planting all my potatoes, both
early and late varieties, as late as would
answer, for by that time (say the middle to
the latter part of June) the bugs have already
got well established in their fields of opera
ton, but if they should begin their raw
ages on my late planting they will have
to counteract the very rapid growth of the
plants, while their numbers are few and
easily overcome by hand picking or pinching.
By planting Early Rose, Late Rose and Peer
less from the 10th to the goth of June, they
will ripen here so as to be harvested by the
10th of September to the 10th of October.
But believe that such well-prepared seed
bed, and frequent tillage while the crop is
growing, tend not only TO increase the yield,
but to hasten an earlier maturity; and this
frequent tillage seemingly has something to
do also in keeping the potato beetle in check.
The most serious objection to such late plant
ing is the difficulty of keeping the seed so
long in good condition. This I do by keep
ing the cellar where the seed is stored at as
low temperature as will answer through the
winter and spring, then if they begin to
sprout too much before planting time, have
tnem taken out and spread about foot deep
on the barn floor, to be sheveed over once
or twice TO keep the sprouts down. Then
two or three days before planting the seed
can be cut, and plaster sprinkled over it;
this again can be turned occasionally with
the shovel, TO keep in good condition until it
goes into the ground. In this way have
been successful, through all these years that
the Colorado beetle has troubled US, in grow
ing about twenty-five acres of potatoes an
nually, yielding from 200 to 300 bushels to
the acre. and not costing me more than So
worth of work year In keeping them clear
OF the bugs by Manipulating; and these crops
have matured in from seventy to one hun
dred days from time of planting. II. loeS,

ashes, and that limb ripened up all of its
plums, put not plum was there left on the
other part of the tree or any of the other

evidence to me that it was the ashes that
saved my plums. When l first commenced
