A great MANY Colorado potato growers arc
using horsc-planters In putting in their crop
this spring and find them great labor-savers.
II one does not own planter, potatoes may
be most rapidly planted by drawing = sled, TO
which are attached two plows tho regulation
distance apart, across the field back and

drawn across the burrows.
May and June are the months for planting
out sweet potato slips or Vines. Draws from
the hot bed should be set out carly, and vines
from this early planting should be used for
the main crop. Sweet potatoes should have

covered with vines. Plant nansemonds for
table use, with possibly some white or red
yams. The latter are fairly good for cooking,
and make splendid stock food.

and everything points TO successful year for
the ranchers of Las Animas county"
