Irish Potatoes.


There have been some Irish potatoes
grown in the Biscayne Bay country
but as rule, few farmers have under
taken to plant this most excellent veg
etable. In the last issue of the Home
seeker we advised the planting of this
crop for market. In this issue we will
discuss the best method of producing
potatoes. In the North, virgin soil is
believed to be the best for the produc
ton of Irish potatoes, especially newly
cleared timber lands. In this sec
ton there are but few acres of
virgin soil in condition to grow
this crop. The potato is a rank
feeder, and must have humus in
large quantities. The bulk of our lands
are very deficient in humus or decayed
vegetable matter We have, however
many acres of muck lands that are
rich in humus. but little of this class of
land has been cultivated a sufficient
length of time to make it fit for the
Irish potato. The ordinary prairie
lands, when put in condition, we be-
lieVe superior to the muck for this
crop, as they will retain moisture for
a longer period. We would suggest to
the planters that they make an expert
ment this year in preparing plot of
ground especially for this crop. Take
a piece of land where tomatoes were
grown this year. AS soon as the ship
ping season is over pull up all the
vines (dO not cut them and burn them,
thus destroying any bacteria that they
may have. Just here we beg to say it
is our private opinion that many of the
diseases the tomato is heir to are
caused by allowing the vines to remain
on the ground after the shipping sea-
son is over, until they become diseased,
thus communicating the soil. AS soon
as the vines are removed and burned,
turn the ground over, blowing a little
deeper than the previous blowing, leav-
ing it to the sun for few days, then
plant with velvet beans. Give them
good culture as long as possible. They
will in short time cover the ground,
shading it from the sun, and at the
same time kill all wild grasses and
weeds. During their growing period
they will be continually pumping the
soil full of nitrogen. When the crop is
about half matured gather sufficient
seed for planting next year. Then.
with a disc harrow, run over the field
until the vines are thoroughly incor-
porated with the soil. There will be a
sufficient quantity of ripened seed left
in the field to reSeed the land.
Let this crop grow until the time ar
rives to prepare the land for potatoes.
Put on the disk harrow and treat in
same way as before. Then with a
light turning plow or scooter open a
shallow furrow, sowing in the bottom
of the furrow about 500 pounds per
acre of some special potato manure.
Mix this thoroughly with soil. then
plant Give the potatoes good culture
and, if need be, another light top dress
ing of fertilizer.
We ask the planter to try this meth
cd. We are confident that if the eXper-
iment is once made it will be contin-
ued In this way the prairies and the
pine lands that are deficient in humus
and nitrogen will be made the richest
lands in the state, capable of growing
immense crops in great variety.-The

1T will be seen from these statistics
that fall of the temperature below
freezing point, 33 degrees, has occurred
many times during the past forty
years, and that by reason of occurring
in December or early in January, when
the trees We're in a more dormant con-
dition, no great injury was inflicted
upon the trees. 1t is only when the
freezes have occurred in February,
when the sap was up and new growth
started. that the trees were so greatly
injured. It is too soon at this writing
to say how much injury has been done
apart from the loss Of bloom. Trees
which have had the benefit of firing
have no doubt escaped, and trees
around which a mound of dry earth
has been put will certainly be found
in good condition below the mound,
and will be ready to soon put on new
growth.
There is nothing in the idea that the
climate is changing. If there is any
change it is in those regions where the
billiards. came from, or in the Occas-
iOnal transfer of the cold wave from
December and January to February

Ond time in 1875 years. In 1899 the tenn
perature was very low, and on the 9th
of April of that year a heavy frost oc-
CURED, destructive to vegetation, and
the temperature was as low as % de-
grees at PicOlata.
The severest cold ever experienced in
Florida, so far as known, occurred on
the night of the 18th of February, 1885,
when the temperature went as low as
degrees above zero at Jacksonville
and vicinity. The st. Johns river was
frozen several rods from the shore, all
kinds of fruit trees were killed to the
ground, many never started again; and
the wild groves were frozen as far
south as % degrees. In 1914 the writer
saw very large sweet orange trees on
DraytOn Island bearing fruit, which
could not have been killed in February,
1885. The temperature at Fort King,
near Ocala, then an army post, fell to
II degrees at that time.
In 1857 the mercury fell to 16 degrees
at Jacksonville and to 26 degrees at
Tampa, 20 degrees at Fort Pierce, and
80 degrees at TT. Dallas, on the Miami
river, in South Florida.
Temperature for other years at Jack

The ancients believed ttat rheumatism was the work ofa demon within man. Any one who has had attack of sciatic CT inAanmatory rheumatism will agree that the inhiction Is demoniac enough to warrant the belief. It has never been claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast out demons, but It will cure rheumatism. and hundreds bear tes,i- mopy to the truth of this statement.
