Preparing the Soil.
Potato land should be plOwed in
the fall and allowed to lie rough dur
ing the winter. This favors the catch
ing of winter moisture and allows the
subsurface soil to settle, and the sur
ACE can be worked earlier in the
spring. If fall blowing is impossible,
the land should be disked in the fall,
so that the surface may be rough n
open through the winter.
Deep blowing usually gives better
results than shallow. The plowed land
should be we'll narrowed early in the
spring, and if not Immediately planted
it should be frequently narrowed in
order to conserve moisture and kill
the weeds which start after the first
narrowing.
Spring-plowed land should be har-
rowed Immediately after the plow, to
prevent loss of moisture. In the dryer
sections some form OF subsurface
packer should follow the plow, and
this should be Immediately followed by
the harrow to work up a surface
mulch. If the soil plows up cloddy,
a plank clod-masher may be used
quite profitably.
The time of planting should be gov
erned largely by the climate, and the
urpose for which the potatoes are
grown. The potato plant needs ample
moisture when the tubers are setting;
hence the grower should endeavor to
have the plants reach thai stage of de-
yeIopment at the time when the moist
IRE supply is likely to be favorable.
For early new potatoes the seed
should be planted as early in the
spring as the soil will permit, on light,
warm soil. For late potatoes they
nay be planted as late as the middle
of June, provided the moisture supply
is ample and continuous; but where
summer rains cannot be depended up
on, the earlier the potatoes are planted
the better, if the danger from frost is
guarded against.

Thorough Cultivation.
Year by year soil fertility is becom-
ing depleted and noxious weeds are
becoming more numerous. To the
farmer who is awake to his interests,
this means that the soil must be better
cultivated if we are to hope for results.
Many fields that are only yielding
a half crop could, by better cultiva-
ton, be made to yield double. We say
that the land is low in fertility, but
if the agricultural chemist should ina
I'VE the soil he would say it is simply
low in available plant food. BY nat
ural causes the plant foods of the soil
become available very slowly-just
fast enough so the slothful farmer may
get a light crop 20 keep him from
starving. On the other hand, il we
are not afraid to work and will give
more and better cultivation we may
ulllOS Ill oAOocOA
our reward for u industry.
More than 1000 years ago an old
Roman writer said that cultivation
was fertilization" 1t is as true today
as then and the farmer who will get
right at the bottom of things and
thoroughly rough work his soil and
then later smooth work it and level 1t
off and thoroughly prepare a seed bed
will reap a good harvest. All crops
need a fine but firm seed bed. This
is particularly true of corn, potatoes
and barley.
The soil should be fined to the depth
of several inches and later firmed by
narrowing, etc. There is only one
time that you a cultivate right Under
a stalk of barley, corn or potatoes and
that is before it is planted. There is
where the plant first lives in the soil
in contact with roots. Small fine feed
ing roots cannot get plant o out OF
Jumps of earth. They must lave fine
soil to do their best.
There are many different kinds OF
weeds, and some of them start OH
early in the spring, almost before the
frost leaves the ground. 1t is the
early weeds that give the farmer the
most trouble. If the land was plowed
in the fall, cross-plow it this spring
and then harrow or cultivate 1t as
often as can be done until the time
to put in seed. The more weeds that
can be destroyed before the regular
crop starts the fewer there will be
to combat later on.

Planting the Seed.

No farmer who grows six or more
acres of potatoes each year can afford
to do without a horse planter. OF the
several methods of hand planting, the
following is the most satisfactory:
After the soil is we'll prepared, open
up burrows to the proper depth with a
single shovel pillow. After the seed is
dropped, cover with the plow and har-
row thoroughly. The depth of plant.
ing should depend upon the texture or
the soil and upon whether early or late
potatoes are desired. Five inches is
not too deep for late potatoes, on light,
mellow soils, but three to four inches
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-05-01

is better for early crop, or on very
heavy or very wet soil.
The amount of seed to use varies
from three to ten sacks per acre, and
depends upon the variety of the soil.
Varieties which tend to produce very
large tubers should have a large guam
tity of seed. Rich land should receive
more seed than poor land. If the seed
pieces are not too large, the number
of eyes to each piece makes no differ
ence. 1t is more important that the
size of the pieces should be uniform
than that there should be the same
number of eyes in each piece. Cut
