Potato Culture.

L
Deep planting has almost invaria
bly, given better results than shal
low; bur very deep planting should
not follow shallow blowing, says the
New England Farmer. The fur
rows opened to receive the seed
should not go TO the bottom of the
soil that was not stirred by the plow.
Ii it is desired TO plant six inches
deep, the land should be plowed
eight or ten inches deep.
Then again, land that has never
been plowed deeper than five or six
Inches should not the next time be
plowed ten. Thedeepening process
should be gradual-an inch or so q
year. More new dirt" may safely
be turned up in autumn than in the
spring.
Some fear that deep planting will
make the harvesting more difficult
il coupled with the deep planting
the cultivation OF the crop is contin-
ued late in the season, the mellow
ness of the soil and the freedom from
late summer weeds compensate for
the tubers lying little deeper in the
soil.
Again, some claim that If they dc
not "hill up" the plants many tu-
bers will be damaged by exposure
10 the sun. If, however, the land
has been deeply and thoroughly pre-
pared and planting is sufficiently
deep SO that there is plenty of room
in the mellow soil for the tubers to
develop beneath the surface there
will be few sunburns;" but If the
fitting and planting are shallow, hill
ing is necessary to protect the tu-
bers.
Now a word about experiments in
general. 1t seems wise TO distin-
guish between trial" and an sex
pertinent. a farmer is convinced
that il is well to spray potatoes with
bordeau mixture. He takes the ne
cessary steps to that end and sprays
his crop. He makes triaLof spray
ing. He may think that the spray
ing was a benefit. Another farmer
sprays part of field and leaves
another part unsprayed for conpar-
ison. He harvests measured area
from each portion of the field and
measures or weighs the product.
He knows" whether the spraying
increased the crop, and If he kept ac-
count of timeand material consumed,
he knows" whether it was pro-
titable operation. We are thorough
ly convinced that farmers need more
of the facts and discipline than can
be obtained from experiments.
A word of warning.
This bulletin is intended to i'm
press upon farmers the importance
of thorough tillage of the soil. 1t is
important right here to call atten-
tion to the fact that intensive tillage
results in rapid consumption of or
ganic matter, and if steps are not ta-
ken to restore this to the soil its
physical condition will decline and
production will fall Off Every op-
poriunity should be embraced to
grow sod or cover crops to turn un-
der to help maintain supply of or
ganic matter in the soil, and dress
ings of stable manure are probably
as valuable on account of the organ
ic matter added to the soil as for the
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot
ash they supply.

The Renl Drummer.

"The term drummer" said a trav-

wholesale house, "has come to be re-
garded as synonymous with cheek,
flashiness and dissipation. Just why
this should be l don't know, unless
people get the idea from stage jokes
and comic papers. Perhaps years ago
there was some justification for IT..
but there is no room for that sort Of
nan today. Competition is too keen.
The travelling salesman who stands
well with his trade and with his own
firm must attend strictly to business.
1t may sound strange and contrary to
general belief, but most men in my
line Of work are Of a religious turn.
Some get into the churchgoing habit
while stopping over Sunday in small
towns, where there Is nothing else to
do. They get interested in religion
and wind up by Joining the church.
Then. too, the country merchant Is
usually a man Of affairs in his town
and is generally pillar Of the church,
and the churchgoing drummer Is apt
to make a greater impression on him
than does one who is more worldly
