POTATO GROWING
FOR new LANDS
Recommended as Best Crop
for New Country.
Mr.. Mcpherson Talks About Varieties,
Methods Of Selecting Seed, Plant
ing, Cultivatins and lr-
risating.

Good potatoes are distinguished from
poor ones by the amount of starch they
contain. The mealy potato is the one
that commsnds the high price. and
mealyness is simply an excess Of starch.
There is always demand for all the
good potatoes that can be grown.
Buyers win come into potato growing
eenters and buy all the stsrchy potatoes
offered. A thin or smooth skin indicates
little starch. A thick, netted skin
means a starchy potato, or in other
words good potato. A thick skinned
potato is also less liable 10 scab than a
smooth. thin skinned one.
Scsb is fungus growth. and may be
in the soil, or on the potato planted.
II the latter, treat them with a
formaldehyde solution before planting.
II the soil is seabby. don't plant potatoes
under any condition.
Potatoes are usually more valuable
