HOW TO RAISE POTATOES
Experiment Station Gives Some VaIu-
able Pointers TO Farmers.

Guthrie. O. 4. Jan. 1.-THE experiment
station at saltwater has been inyesti-
eating methods Of growing and storing
potatoes and has reported results in a
recent bulletin. The methods followed
by potato growers of Pettawatolnie eoun-
tv. where large quantities are grown for
market, are briefly described. The soil
of this district is sandy loan With a
porous subsoil. making it an ideal potato
soil. The land is plowed IN early winter
and the planting done as soon as danger
of hard frosts is past, usually from the
middle OF February TO the first Of March
Most of the planting is done with planters
dropping the seed from twelve TO eigh-
teen inches apart in rows about three
feet apart.
Bliss Triumph is about the only var
iety planted and the seed used Is either
from the second crop of the previous sea-
son or is imported from the north. Gull
tivation is shallow and frequent and dis
continued when the potatoes are about
hale an inch in diameter Digging is
done by machinery and the potatoes are
sold at once. The crop is marketed in
June and a second crop IS planted. the

seed. Good I>ofts are realized and the
industry IS developing rapidly
\ table showing the results OF variety
tests made on the station farm during
1900 and 1901 is given in the bulletin. The
results show great variations IN yield be-
tween different varieties and in different
seasons.
Trials OF time OF plowing for potatoes
uniformly resulted in larger yields from
fan than spring plowing. The best depths
and the time Of planting varies. with the
season and the condition Of the soil. The
planting should always be done as soon
as the burrows are opened. since the dry
ing of the soil in the furrow retards
sprouting.
OF all methods Of storing potatoes tried
IL was found best 70 keep the crop in the
field. by mulching with straw or hay IN
the spring or early summer after cultiva-
ton has ceased, and leaving the potatoes
in the ground until fall II rain should
cause them TO sprout or decay. they

or crates in cave. II the patch is not
mulched. the crop should be dug as soon
as mature and stored IN n cave. The
potatoes should not be left IN the sun
but should be taken % the shade as fast
as they are dug.
This bulletin also contains report of
variety tests OF cabbage during 1870 and
1901

1t is believed that the report will be ia

that they are having proper care. II the
report of the investigating committee

probable that Governor Ferguson will

that the wards of Oklahoma should have
the best care possible to give them, and
in his administration will insist that this
idea is carried out.
