Established Facts about seed Potatoes.

Established Facts about Seed Potatoes.
Cutting seed potatoes for planting has
been prolific subject for discussion, and
many even today hold adverse opinions
concerning the size of the pieces for plant
ing. In bulleten ~ of the Indiana station
experiments are related which may empha-
size some old truths that are apt to be for
gotten, and to clarity ones mind regarding
the subject after so much confusing advice
from every quarter. AT the station there
have been experiments conducted for
long time, and the authorities give as con-
elusive facts the results of their trials. 1t
was found that pieces about the same size,
but some containing more eyes than others,
produced almost the same size stalk and
number of tubers. There was really no
advantage in increasing the number of eyes
to the piece. Increasing the size of the
piece of potato, however, gave a correspond
ing increase in the number of stalks. From
this it may be judged that a small piece of
potato can nourish only one eye, and in
creasing the number of eyes without in
creasing the size of the piece of potato is
of no avail. The eyes at the seed end of
the potato act as a single eye, and not as
independent ones, capable of producing as
many stalks as there are apparent eyes.
There is more importance in the size in
which the potatoes are cut than in the num-
Der of eyes to the piece. The tubers should
be cut uniformly in about one, two or three
ounce pieces. This may be done in almost
entire disregard to the position of the eye.
II is uniformity of size in the pieces that
/ produces the most uniform and best crop.

This paragraph from the Germantown
Telegraph is a good thing to read in con
nection with the Governors Arbor-day
proclamation: "In selecting trees at a
nursery, let them be straight, not over two
years old, and with five OF six good, stout
roots No fibrous roots are needed at all.
Tie the roots and stems to the very top in
damp bagging, and get them to their new
quarters at once. Have the holes dug in
advance. As there are no fibrous roots on
the trees there should be some made as
soon as possible, because they are the
feeders, while the main roots are only the
anchors to hold the tree in place. With a
sharp knife cut the ends of the main roots
at a slant, clean cut, and bark not disturb
ed. Set the tree in place, fill in with firm
top soil, trample it down mo matter what
water, and when ii has settled cover up
with dry earth. Don't stake the trees,
just leave them to themselves.
Now, the first thing that takes place is
this: The sap in the body Of the tree runs
down to the fresh-cut ends of the roots
eXudes between the bark and the body OF
the roots, and hardens in little knots
which branch out into firm roots, then en-
large, and soon gather sustenance from til,
soil; then the sap begins to flow up the
trunk to the buds, which swell, form leaves
etc. If the roots were not freshly cut this
callous formation could not take place, ant
the upward flow of the sap, having moth
ing to support it, would exhaust the trunk
and the tree would die.

To this question the Maine Farmer an
swers: A case is occasionally found where
the first crop following an application of
leached ashes is fully equal to the crop fol-
lowing an application of ashes unleached.
But this by no means makes the leached
ashes worth as much to put on the land
as the unleached. Wood ashes contain
potash lime, and a small amount of phos-
phOric acid. Each of these ingredients
must be present in the soil, either applied
by the farmer or otherwise, or crops will
not grow. Potash is usually supposed to
be the principal manurial ingredient Civ
ing value to the ashes. Leached ashes
are not leached of all their contents of pot
ash. If enough still remains to meet the
wants of the crop following the appica-
ton, then the leached ashes will produce
as good a crop as the whole ashes, and for
that one crop are worth as much. But all
surplus of manurial properties, potash in
cluded, that may remain or is left over af-
ter supplying the wants of this first crop
will remain in the soil to be appropriated
by the future crop. Hence the surplus
potash of the unleached ashes has value
though it may not be wanted the first year
Hard wood ashes contain five to six pei
cent Vi pOldsh' when ledcneu lneTe sun
remains one to two per cent. In every
one hundred pounds of dry ashes there has
been taken out by teaching, say, foul
pounds of potash. This is worth, at esti.
mate price of the same ingredient in com,
mercial fertilizers, five cents a pound
Hence in the process of teaching, in sucl
case, there has been twenty cents in value
taken from the hundred pounds of whole
ashes, and the leached ashes contain tn,
rest.
