POTATOES
PREPARATION OF GROUND.

Potatoes should have rich sandy
loan soil or alfalfa sod to grow
large crops, but any Nebraska soil
properly prepared and titled will
produce fairly good crop of po-
tatoes. Plow Z to 10 inches deep
early in fall when ground will per-
NIT and is not too high as to be
subject to blow. When left till
spring, pillow early, first disking it
thoroughly and harrow after pIow-
ing. 1t pays we'll to manure the
ground which is best done by
spreading with manure spreader
or evenly and lightly by hand,
preferably on alfalfa one year be-
fore blowing to stimulate the
growth of the alfalfa.
SEED POTATOES.
Early Ohios are best adapted to
general planting in Nebraska and
seed of this variety procured from
the Red River Valley of the North
nearly doubles the yield and can
be procured from GyIdon, Mimi.
at digging time and laid down any
where in Nebraska some years at
same price As home grown sell for.
There are hundreds of thousands
bushels raised yearly known as the
Red River Ohio and are distribute
ed all over the country for seed
purposes. Where irrigation is
practical, Rurals, Sir Walters or
Carmans are best and produce i'm
mense crops. Seed of these should
be procured from the muck or
heavy lands of Michigan or Wis
consin Seed should be cut i'm
mediately before planting, one eye
pieces planted in m,ist ground
give best results.
PLANTING.
Plant with Aspenwall planter as
soon as the season will permit in
spring. Setting machine to drop
- Inches apart in drill and about
4 inches deep gives good results.
If planting by hand or with home
devices, be sure the seed is depos-
tied in moist soil, not allowing the
furrow to dry in operation, Get
ting rows perfectly straight and
uniformly 3 feet in width facili-
tatas cultivation where cultivators
like the two row pivot
wheel Planet Junior is used or the
Dowden Weeder Harrow which
cultivateS Z rows each through, Il
rows to the round.
CULTIVATION.
Harrow once lengthwise Of rows
and cross just before plants come
up and once each week till plants
are too large or about inches
high. Now use cultivator. Set
to run about q inches deep, not
changing depth during the entire
season, cultivating once every
week till crop natures.
DIGGING.
Digging is done best with
Dowden elevator digger. A COM
mon corn lister on wheels is next
best and if properly set and driven
fast, throws most of potatoes out.
MARKETING.
If price is satisfactory and the
crop in Nebraska large like this
past one, dig very early and sell
at once. Load into stock cars af-
ter cooling over night in sacks
stood on end singly in the field.
Texas and Oklahoma afford ample
market at renumerative prices.
Some years Chicago is the market
at this time, but this applies only
when Nebraska has a big surplus
crop. Otherwise dig late in the
season so as to run no risk of their
freezing in the ground. Put po-
tatoes in convenient piles in the
field while gathering and cover
with straw allowing them to re-
main till through sweating. Then

He was driving through and ac- eompanying him were two of the children, aged } and 4 years. MT. and Mrs. Lord were intend- ing to make their home with Mir. Clark.
 The failure of her husband to arrive and her inability to learn anything concerning his probable fate has naturally caused Mrs. Lord much worry. She fears that in attempting to cross some of the swollen streams he and the children may have been drowned, and she left Tuesday morning for Oklahoma to see if she can learn anything concerning their dissap- pearance.
 LATER Mir. Lord arrived Tuesday night, and immediately wired Mrs. Lord of his arrival. So there is peace and joy in the family again.
