Potato Growing in Michigan.
Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:


Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:
We are on the 43rd degree, north
latitude. The difference between here
and North Carolina in climate, Gus
toms and crop culture must be so
striking as to be instructive to Pro
gressive Farmer readers. Take pota-
toes, for example. Early potatoes
are not grown for market to any ex-
tent. Most farmers plant a few for
home use, some time in April or
May. Seldom that the ground warns
up enough to bring them up before
May, plant when you will. Usually
they are not relished for winter use.
For main crop the market de-
mands a round potato with few eyes
and not deep. Rural New Yorker,
No. 2, is much grown here. There is
a wide diversity of opinion and prac-
tice in regard to seed. Some plant
small potatoes whole-and get seed
elsewhere in few years. Some cut
medium size in two to four pieces.
The best growers cut to two and
three eyes to the piece-and one piece
to the hill. The ground being well
fitted with plow, disk pulverizer,
spring tooth harrow or drag, is rolled
and marked each way, usually with
three legs marker, with legs 80
inches apart. But fashions change.
Not SO very long ago they we're
planted three feet apart and with a
hoe. Then came the drill system. A
shovel plow, or cultivator with broad
tooth, was run in rows two and a
half to three feet apart one way.
Men with sacks of seed followed,
dropping a seed piece one and half
to two feet apart, stepping on each
piece to firm it in the soil. A horse
with cultivator rigged to turn two
burrows in over the seed, followed.
In few days a roller, or drag, was
run over these ridged rows levelling
them somewhat and killing the weeds
in the seed leaf.
Now, the style is to plant the seed
with a hand and foot planter; the
seed carried in a sack over the shoul-
der, one piece put in the planter tube
and thrust four or five inches in the
soil by foot pressure. Hard work!
If weather is suitable, drag, ordi-
nary 45 to 60-tooth peg tooth drag,
is run over the field once or twice be-
fore the crop comes up, to break the
crust and kill the weeds,-makes
much easier the subsequent culture
Often a farmer will drag the field
after the potatoes are up. The seed
leep thrust in the earth remains un-
disturbed and the tops suffer but lit
lie. Later the crop is well cultivated

row each way. The cuItivator teeth
will be set to throw the dirt to the
row the last time giving a slight
killing of the earth. Practically it
is level culture. Various ways of
digging are in use. The faYorite
method is for two to six men with
hooks, or forks, working together.
Two rows as dug are thrown togeth-
er. Usually they'll dig about as
much in the forenoon as they can
pick up in the afternoon. A horse
and stone boat with eight to twelve
bushel crates is taken to the field.
Some farmers have women and chill
dren to pick and the richest of them
will turn out in an emergency and
help and don't feel disgraced either.
The horse is driven or led up the
wide row where the vines are thrown
and the potatoes picked and thrown
into the crates from each side. When
the crates are full the load is taken
to a pit centrally located usually,
though some load into wagon and
put in cellar at once. Others think
best to pit and let the potatoes
sweat out until cold weather, when
they are sorted and moved to cellar
or permanent pits. These are piles
of potatoes, SO to 100 bushels in
heap about two and a half feet wide,
and two to two and a half high, on
top the ground, covered with a coat
of straw, about a foot of earth and
a finish of litter from the horse sta
bic, when steady freezing begins.
Paris green applied with hand
sprayer, is relied on to keep bugs in
check.
Last year potatoes were struck
with blight in September, and rot
ted badly. Some hadn't enough for
family eating. One farmer sold less
than $40 worth from three acres
which yielded heavy enough SO he
and one man dug and pitted 100
bushels the first day, though one
were left on the ground, rot
ten. When they were cellared, about
half the pits were left in the field,
and a large per cent decayed in the
cellar. Two years ago a field of four
acres yielded about 700 bushels of
potatoes for him. Part
sold at 80 cents a bushel, so that the
crop averaged over 500 per acre
from sales. Can't always win!
Notwithstanding the rot, prices
kept at so cents, or lower, a drop to
35 cents in May, but jumped sudden
y to 81 in mid June. This coming
Just at planting time, coupled with
asst years disaster and the scarcity

from here this season, where usually
many car lots are sold both fall and
spring. Looks now ike high prices
or potatoes another season, for
planting is not yet finished owing to
leavy rains since the 18th, and those

Editor of The Progressive Farmer

Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:
Land intended for wheat should be
frequently plowed prior to seeding.
Wheat will succeed best on a clover
or COW pea sod, but these crops, or
any other green crop, should inva-
riabIy mature before they are turned
down. The ranker the growth the
better will be the results. Conse-
ouently, when seeding clover or COW
peas it usually pays we'll to supply
them literally with potash and phos-
phoric acid A bountiful supply of
nitrogen will be drawn from the air,
which is a clear gain, being virtually
grown. A good crop of clover or
pea vines will easily draw, per acre,
from the air, $15 worth or more of
nitrogen. The New Jersey Expert
ment Station claims that an acre of
crimson clover will mature $50
worth of nitrogen. But we will be
moderate and put the average value
of nitrogen that can be practically
drawn from the air by an acre of
clover or COW peas, at $15, which is
more than most corn crops would
sell for. Said nitrogen, with the
potash and phosphoric acid that may
have been applied direct, will be
stored IN the plants and, when turn
ed down, will serve the wheat crop
that follows.
When practical clover or COW pea
crop should be turned down several
weeks before the wheat is seeded.
lime will thus be given for the veg
etaOLe matter to at least partially de-
compose before the wheat is seeded,
uurmg which time important chemi-
cal changes will take place. But as
tile vegetable matter cannot decom-
pose IN time to fully meet the re-
qmrements of the wheat a half dose,
say zOO to 400 pounds per acre of a
fertilizer containing nitrogen two
Per cent, potash 712 per cent and
available phosphoric acid 9 per cent,
may be used.
~ REMOVE CHEAT AND COOKIE FROM
SEED WHEAT.
!nere are at least two plans for
uOlng this. I will first give what ap-
Pears to be the most practical plan,
and then the other.
:, Make a strong brine by adding salt
~, - water This brine will float cheat,
"'neF the Georgia or common kind, |
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-07-21

and a portion of the cookie, but not
all.
If nnolasses or the ordinary cane
(sorghum) syrup be added in proper
quantities and well stirred, the spe-
citic gravity of the brine will be suf-
fciently increased to float the resi-
due of the cocokle.
When the brine is made it will be
necessary to use a proper quantity
of salt above the capacity of the wa
ter to dissolve. Then when the mo-
lasses or syrup is added an addition
al quantity of salt will be dissolved,
thus increasing the specific gravity
of the liquid sufficiently to answer
the desired purpose. The necessary
quantity of molasses or syrup to be
added can be ascertained by testing.
In the above test / used ordinary
molasses, but presume that syrup
of cane or sorghum will answer
equally well.
A liquid prepared as above will
float all the cheat and cookie and
from 25 to 80 per cent of the lighter
grains of wheat.
The skimmings should be imme-
diately removed and then the. wheat
that has settled to the bottom, taken
out and washed with fresh water.
Proper tests have shown that the
terminating power of wheat thus
treated will not be injured in the
least.
The above plan will not only clean
the wheat of all filth but will also
vastly improve the quality of the
wheat by retaining the heavier
grains only.
ANOTHER PLAN
Prepare a brine with. nitrate of
soda Then add salt, using of each
all that the water will dissolve. Then
treat as above.
Saltpetre may be substituted for
the nitrate of soda, but as the latter
is cheaper it is preferable when it
can be commanded.
Light grains of wheat may for the
present yield fairly well, but their
continual use will surely cause a de-
terioration of the wheat, both in
and quality. Hence the
necessity for selecting the heavier
grains only, at least suficiency to
grow seed for the following year.
