How to Get Extra Early Potatoes.

How to Get Extra Early Potatoes
The horticultural department. has
been experimenting for two years on
the methods of Fastening the growth
and maturity of early potatoes. On
Feb. %, 1897, tuEers of White Ohio,
Beauty of Hebron, Early Harvest and
Carman No. were set in shallow box
es with the blossom ends up. They
were filled around with sand, leaving
the upper fourth exposed, and the
boxes placed in room Of rather sub
dued light and a temperature of so to
go degrees. Vigorous sprouts soon be-
gan to push from the exposed eyes. On
March %, the potatoes were planted
in furrows, the .tubers being removed
carefully from the sand and planted
in the same position in which they
stood in the box, and fourteen inches
apart in the row. They were not cut,
but were kept entire. Similar parallel
rows of each sort were planted Of
whole tubers selected from potatoes
taken from the storage room and un-
exposed ITO light till planted AS they
grew the sprouted potatoes took the
lead from the start in vigor and
strength of top; and both lots of whole
seed kept ahead of cut seed Of the
same varieties. June 1, the sand
tod lotto oh
table potatoes, while none of the 9TH
ers were yet large enough for use. A
weeks difference was apparent in the
two lots. On June 16, the sand-sprout-
ed potatoes were still ahead in size,
though not as much as at the first ex-
animation. At the final digging July
"a the sand-sprouted lots showed bet
ter tubers and 10 per cent larger yields
than the others. In the spring of 1898
using four other varieties, viz, Tri-
umph, New Queen, Thoroughbred, and
Early Six Weeks. Two methods Of
treatment were also employed. The
lots were divided, one half of each lot
being placed in sand under the condl-
tions employed the year before and
kept moistened; the other half of each
lot being put in open boxes and placed
in a light, dry room with a tempera-
ture averaging about so degrees.
March 26, all lots we're planted. The
tubers that were placed in sand had
strong vigorous sprouts, and were
nearly all rooted. Those in the open
boxes were beginning to sprout, but of
course had thrown out no roots. The
sand-sprouted lots took the lead i'm
growth, and furnished table potatoes
several days in advance of the lots
sprouted in open boxes, although the
latter were ahead Of the lots planted
at the same time from the storage
room. Whole tubers sprouted in rath-
er moist sand, and planted about the

same time we largely increase the sup
ply of water in the soil.
We plow to break up the crust of
the earth and turn it into soil The
deeper we plOw, the more soil we
have; the oftener we plow, the larger
supply Of plant food we have ready
to dissolve. Hence to farm success
fully We must speed the plow. The
great philosophers stanza,
''Plow deep while sluggards sleep,
And you will have corn to sell and to
keep
is not mere poetic fancy; it is the state
ment of a great scientific truth.
When Shall We Plow?-As the prin-
cipal object of plowing is to make
ready a large supply of soluble plant
food, the plowing must be done with
reference to this end. Soil stirred
when it is wet and dried by the winds
and sunshine will not be in condition
to give up it's plant food. There will
be immOvable clodS of all shapes and
sizes. These clods will not give up
their plant food; hence the soil will
fail to produce large crops. On the
contrary, they will yield very small
crops. This will be true for several
years. Experience has taught this sci
entitic truth to almost every farmer.
There is hardly farm in the South
that has not been injured by plowing
when the soil was too wet. The extent
of the damage from this cause can not
be calculated or described. 1t has
done more than every other cause to
make and keep the South poor.
Our soil contains as much plant food
as almost any section Of the earth; but
our fields are poor and our crops are
small, because we have not known
when to plow. Many of us, perhaps,
know better than we practice. Shall
we go on forever in this ruinous prac-
tice?
We write on this old and oft-repeat-
ed subject because we see that past
admOnition has not had the desired eff
feet. 1t is almost useless to 20 on
and discuss advanced methods while
the foundation is defective.
We again urge you, fellow farmers,
do not plow while the soil is wet. You
say it rains so often, what are we to
do? Wait patiently until the soil is
dry. Do not increase what you consid-
er a misfortune by your own folly. If
you get impatient and plow before the
soil is dry, you will fail to get the
benefit of the water so abundant in
your soil and so much needed by the
plants you wish to grow. You will
make curse out of what Is intended
to be great blessing. ..
Providence is wise and kind and sees
ahead, where we are blind. Out of
