To the Editor of the State Journal
The writer came to Kansas in 1873,
and was on a farm for II years. That
year we had fine peachblow potatoes
from a crop planted on the 4th day Of
July and corn that went so bushels to
the acre planted on June 49, Our usual
time for planting late potatoes was
from the 10th to 20th of June. OF course
we sometimes failed: so we did on corn
planting at the most favorable season,
but the point I wish to make IS that
with anything like favorable conditions,
there is time enough yet to raise crop
of potatoes. SUBSCRIBER.
