JeweIIa on the Potato Crop, Etc.
Mr.. Editor PROGRESS:
On account of bad weather there
IS much complaint of failure of
the potato crop, and many are
contemplating plowing their pota-
toes MP. To all those who think
Of doing so, as one who has had
some experience with potatoes, /
say, don't be too fast; go It slowly
Gany Of the potatoes that you
think are gone are still there, and
VIII make their appearance when
the ground begins to warm up
some; and [ have always found
that when | have had only half a
crop, by pushing them, and dis
ging early, l have not lost any
thing, when to have plowed them
up would have been a total loss,
not only of seed, but Of labor ex-
pended. If your potatoes are
missing badly, and you want a
melon patch, go over every fourth
row, and make your hills as near
regular distance as potatoes will
admit; then when you work your
potatoes you are cultivating your
melons also, and as vines begin to
run you can dig potatoes out OF
their way; or if you want most of
your potatoes to mature, and want
late melons. when you first begin
to dig, take every fourth row first,
and then prepare and plant mel
ons, and you can dig the balance
at your convenience. Ground on
which crop of potatoes has been
made is generally left in fine con-
dition for planting onion seed, and
l often wonder why more of us
farmers don't raise our own sets at
least, for they often range ex-
tremely high in spring. from $3.50
t" $500 pc, bushel. I bave p!aHt-
ed as late rs the 18th Of June and
have made good sets. The main
thing in raising onions OF any
kind, or any other kind Of farm
truck. is reliable labor, and if you
can't control it, don't try truck
raising, and especially onions, bat
if you can do it yourself, or get
intelligent labor, they pay well.
To raise a profitable crop Of on
ions, you should manure well d
