POTATO CULTURE.

81 venture to send you few sug-
gestions upon potato culture, be-
cause l am oneOf the few farmers in
this vicinity who raised a good crop
during the past season.
writes q Vermont correspondent of
the American Cultivator. 81 have
a low meadow where potatoes will
rank, but are liable TO rot. l have
also a high meadow away from the
river where the soil is not so strong
and the land somewhat drier. This
latter spot consider more certain
for a crop of potatoes than the low
meadow, yet it does not give so
large a yield. l generally try a
patch on both meadows every year.
Chill land is generally the best
for potatoes. This year l planted
entirely on the low meadow, and
had a luxurlant growth OF tops and
something over TWO hundred bush
els OF assorted potatoes TO the acre.
but they rotted considerably before
and after digging. dug most OF
them in August, but did not com
mence early enough. The first ten
bushels | dug rOtted the least.
sold some at digging time at 10
cents per bushel. Two months
later sold at 81 per bushel.-
The percentage Of rotten ones in
the latter parcels made Just about
an even matter of it.
"Potatoes are retailing among
the farmers in this vicinity at 81 a
bushel. Some claim they can be
shipped in for less money. 1t is
queer if the time has come when
Vermont farmers cannot raise their
own potatoes, but must buy from
other sections. Some argue that
the potatoe crop is destined to be
an entire failure, but have never
failed with the crop, and ! do not
expect to if l exercise proper care.
81 planted mostly Beauty of
Hebrons, about the 10th of May
The seed was small sized potatoes
cut once or twice the same day
they were planted. Every tuber
seemed to grow. l select my seed
from smooth, sound potatoes that
have not sprouted. Last season l
took them from the cellar two
m onths before planting, so they
would not sprout, 1t is poor policy
to plant unrlpe or diseased seed.-
Early varieties with me seem to be
a surer crop than the late varieties.
"If the blight strikes a potato
that is half grown it ruins it. How
ever, ] plant a few of late growth
every year. Dry land is generally
the best for potatoes, l plough in
the tall and spread a coat of ma.
nure broadcast in the fall or spring,
and plant as early as 1t will do and
al old frost. A late frost INJURIES
the potato more than any other
crop.
al furrow for the rows and plant
by hand, making an old fashioned
bill. / put two pieces of potato
and a spoonful OF phosphate in a
bill and do not harrow the potatoes
out of the ground to kill the weeds,
but hoe them out two or three times
by hand, making a good square
hill, so that the potatoes will he
in the ground well covered from
the parching sun. In killing the
bugs he greatest care should be
exercised to kill the vines"
