Irish Potatoes in 1908.

We have said, plant potatoes From the best Information available It now seems the best quick money crop Una. can be grown in 1906. MT. John IT. Iehane. general freight and passenger agent of the Cotton Belt Route, touches upon the potato situation in letter to us of December 26. in which he reviews market conditions for the memorable crop of 1905, and sizes up the outlooK for 1906 as we have seen 1t for some sixty days. Mir. Lenane says:
 Last season we expected extreme ly large movement of potatoes put on account of weather conditions ana old potatoes left over in North Texas, planters were unable to dispose or their crops; we have made careful investigation of the situation Tor the coming season and fnd that Niscon = sin, Minnesota, etc, only made aDout 50 per cent of a cr"p and the crop was very badly damaged by pHgnt' In Maine and New York state, the crop was but 60 per cent of what they ordinarily make: this is a good indication that the coming spring will show a very stiff potato market, ana we are eudeavoring to prevail upon parties along our line Tn East Iexas to plant heavily of potatoes At the present time on account of the hlgh values in the East there are large quantities of potatoes being imported l from Europe. A great many 1 people have become discouraged on ac' count of losing a little money last sea son, which was an unusually unfaVor' able year"

Distance Between Cotton Plants. prof E IIovd in Mississippi Far

Utatnnce Between Cotton Plants. Prof F. R. Lloyd in Mississippi Farm
 Gazette.
 The experiment stations in the cot ton belt have conducted many expsri- ments with view of determining the best distance to p1snt cotton. From the results 1t appears that there mas been found no definite law determining the proper distance applicable to all conditions.
 The results thus far attained by the stations relative to distance between cotton plants, though not conclusive, afford useful hints to cotton growers whose soils resemble those of the diRer- ent experiment. stations.
 Future experiments may result m rules of practice applicable to certain characters of soil and varieties or cot- ton; but variations in weather, which cannot be foreseen. will always limit the application of such rules. The factors that seem to exert tne greatest influence in determining the l best distance to leave between plants are the richness of soil, the variety Of l cotton to be grown. and the amount or | fertilizer to be used. Cotton planted on rich land should have greater dis tance than that planted on poor laha, | This Is especially true when the lano | contains large amounts of orgahlc matter and nitrogen, which produce | large stalk with heavy foliage. When long-iimbed varieties are planted, tns distance between plants should p' l greater than when short1limbed' ol cluster kinds, are planted. Even or thin hill land when heavy applications of manure or fertilizers are used, tn' distance should be increased.

 A good short staple variety will give the biggest yield Of cotton; and, all things considered. will. think. be the most profitable. Cooks Improved, Toole, Lewis Prize. and Russel Big Boil in the tests at the Experiment Station have proved themselves most satisfactory. For the past two years Cooks Improved has stood at the head of the list. Trultt Excelsior. Tatum'Y Choice. Layton's Improved, Schlcy, Moss's Improved, aud Peterkin, are all excellent varieties of cotton and in the Station test they have done as well, or better. than some of those mention ed: and there are other varieties Just | as good.

Every farmer appreciates the laS' @ that hoeing Is one of the most costly operations in the production or cotton crop. and any method that will lessen the amount of hoeing will reduce the cost of production. The wider apart the rows can be put without reducing the yield per acre. the cheaper the crop will be produced.
 If on one acre the rows are three feet apart and an another acre they are four feet apart, and if 1t costs $l to hoe the first acre, it will cost only 7b cents to hoe the second, and the cost of plow, ing is the same in both eases. It will cost s5 per cent. more to hoe an acre in three-foot rows than to hoe the same acre in four-foot rows. If we could put the rows six feet apart the cost of hoeing would be reduced one half and the cost of blowing would re- main the same. IS compared with rows three feet apart
