Good Farming VS.. High Farming.

High farming is the attempt to raise
the largest product possible upon the
whole farm. Good farming is to raise
the product at the best possible profit,
everything considered. In some cases
the two amount to the same thing. In
other cases where manure and hired
help are hard to get and the market
is limited, it may be more practical to
farm fewer acres and farm them better,
rather than to try to force the whole
farm to the utmost. That is, if the
farmer now grows, say $4,000 worth of
produce from his three-hundred-acr
farm, let him take only his best land
and cattle and try to produce that
amount. Instead of one thousand
bushels of potatoes on ten acres, let
him fertilize higher and grow one
thousand bushels on five acres. In
stead of thirty cows giving two hun
dred pounds Of butter each per year,
keep twenty three-hundred Founders.
In place Of three ordinary
hired men, pay little more and get
the best workers to be found Apply
this idea right through Such plans
are in the direction Of concentration,
and concentration is the essence of
good farming.

Three New Potatoes.

Our potato growers are very con-
sentative and confne@ their planting
to seed potatoes Of old we'll known
varieties. This is the correct thing to
do for the general crop, but an en-
terprising farmer will test other va
rletles, planting enough of them to
give him a good idea of their quality
and productiveness. Three new pota-
toes are highly recommended BY a
correspondent of the American Gull
tivator, it is too late to test them. this
season in florida, but it would be
we'll for you to keep these names in
mind and look out for reports of their
value at the north after this summers

ed the fungoids. The trees have made
wonderful growth, but now again he
flnds that if Porto Rico is the home
of the fungoids when it rains, it is
also the home of the insects, when
good growing weather begins. He
uses the same fertilizers, applied in
the same way that we do here, and
produces better results in growth, but
flnds correspondingly greater damage
from insects. Here we have little
trouble with fungoids on young trees
if properly cared for, and insects are
almost unknown, but there he has
continuous warfare to wage to save
his young trees He does not state
the nature of the insects, but I judge
from his letters that they are both
leafcutters and sap-suckers.
Before the trees left here they were
all slowed in tight room and fumi-
gated with hydrocyanic acid gas, and
sprayed with a copper solution. How
ever on reaching Porto Rico, he found
that fungoids and insects were already
there on the wild mangoes, in guam
tity and variety to double discount
anything poor Florida could show. I
found the same to be true with re-
gard to citrus trees in Cuba They
have the fertile soil and frost-proof
situation, intrenched behind the Gulf
Stream, it is very true, and those are
great advantages SO far as they 60,
but are by no means everything. In
Cuba | found every insect and disease
known in Florida to affect citrus
trees Except the white fly, and about
as many more in addition.
Mango trees began to blossom at
Bayamon at just the same time they
did here and have put out a second
bloom, just as they have done here.
1t is probable, however, that the pecu-
1iarities of this season have retarded
them and advanced u.s. Our unusual
1ydry season, and their unusually wet
season is enough to account for this
in my opinion, and I presume, condi-
tions being the same in both places, we
would be about three or four weeks
behind them with Our mango crop.
Mr.. Bergin was delighted last summer
when he was studying Agricultural
Dept. bulletins, land company pamph-
lets and other literature relating to
Porto Rico, to get the information
that there were practically no insects
or diseases which affected the man
goes in Porto Rico.

test and, if favorable, try them next
winter yourself:
Originating new varieties of pota-
toes from the seed boil is matter of
great Importance to the potato indus
try. 1t frequently happens that not
one out Of many thousands will prove
of any great value. Ali the labor of
growing and providing these seed
l1ngs is lost, and when the originator
does get a really valuable seeding po-
tato he has to put the price high
enough to cover the cost of all ex-
pense Of the thousands of worthless
ones he has had to bring forth to find
one of real value.
The Merrill is new seeding that
has been grown long enough to prove
its worth. 1t is white potato of the
Green Mountain type, strong, Wig
orous grower, great yielder and of
good quality. In 1906 it far outyielded
that ilii1ilShoS SlOPPSi, lllC 1NOl CIOSS.
The Star Of the East is another
new seeding Of the Hebron type. 1t
is as near being blight proof as any
potato I have ever seen. 1t is medi-
um late, and the tubers are of fine
quality and it is a very heavy crop
per. The vines are dark green, strong
and vigorous, and this potato will
grow good crop of market tubers
when most others fail, and on account
of it's good quality will be largely
grown wherever it becomes known
The Clyde is another new potato
which those that know it claim will
take the place of the Green Mountain.
It produced fine. smooth tubers that
weighed nearly three pounds each the
second year from the seed boil.
The tubers are smooth and of nice
shape, and will stand forcing without
growing prongy, and the quality is ex-
ce1lent The vines are very dark
green with many blossoms. A pota-
to that will not produce plenty of
blossoms is of scant vigor. Any one
wishing to get large yielder must
look for plenty of blossoms and
long period of bloom.
The three potatoes described above
have been carefully bred. AS paris

the vitality of any potato on which it
is used to kill insects. none has been

their natural vigor, which means
large crop and money made by the
grower.

well. 1t was just the right distance
from the city; it was just the right
