backyard compos composed OF yard
sweepings, wood-pile scrapings, soap
suds, and other household and kitchen
waste, Is well suited for potatoes. The
plants are often set too thickly in the
rows and the rows are too close. Three
and half to four feet between rows
and two feet between plants are about
the proper distances, requiring about
900 plants TO the acre. When plant
ed so close as three feet by one foot, as
is often done when the work is entrust-
ed 10 careless hands, nearly $4,000
plants are required for one acre, and
the supply, which usually controls the
area planted, is soon eXhau:ed.
