POTATO CULTURE PROFITABLE
Certain Sections Of Country Where
Irish Potato Is Best Growing
Crop on the Farm.

There are certain sections OF the
United States which are, owing to eli
matte conditions, combined with the
nature Of the soil, better adapted to
the growing of the Irish potato than
probably any other farm product, and
as this crop can be marketed at re-
munerative prices on an average Of
four years out of FIVE, the farmers Of
what is known as the potato dis
tricts" rely almost entirely upon this
product for their money crop; there
fore, 1t becomes necessary for them
to secure as great quantity of tn.
bers as possible from each acre Of
land planted, from a minimum amount
of labor and expense, In order to get
the greatest percentage of profit OBJ
talnable.
The soil best adapted to growing
the potato is a sandy loan well sup
piled with vegetable matter. This
kind of soil Is not available In all
cases and we have to be content with
that OF heavier nature. In that case
It is advisable to turn under a sod of
bOLlC ShdIdSbOlt piCiCiduiy ClONCl,
which will serve to keep the land in
q mellow condition and retain the
moisture longer than II the soil should
become more compact.
More attention every year Is being
given to the selection of seed, and
the most successful potato growers
have long ago discarded the using OF
culls for seed potatoes. Experiments
have shown that an ordinary size
potato cut in quarters will often pro
duce 25 to 30 per cent. more salable
potatoes per acre than when cut with
only one eye to the piece,
II proper precautions are taken and
treatments begun in time there are
none OF the enemies of the potato
which, II properly handled, cannot be
reduced to a nonentlty as far as dam
age to the crops is concerned.

BRACING A CEMENT END POST
How to Construct a Pillar That Will

In order to brace an end post Sc

deep, says a writer in Indiana Farmer.
BE sure that the dirt is we'll tamped
around the post. Packing the first foot
we'll is the most essential thing in
making post stand firm. Lean the
post back about three inches. This
leaning causes the post to pull to the
ground instead of lifting out of the
ground, as 1t will do II 1t leans the
other way. Then cut a notch about
half way between the ground and top
of the post for end of brace to rest
in. Then plant a smaller post about
six feet in front of end post for foot
of brace to rest against, placing top
side of lower end of brace six inches
below the surface of the ground with
a fiat rock under It Ito keep the brace
from settling in the ground). Now

STRANGE Growth Of olive rrsss.

Attention is seldom called to a re-
markable and curious characteristic
of the olive tree, After many years
of growth the different large branches
of the trees separate gradually from
the trunk until they are quite divided
from one another down into the root,
These then slowly move apart. and in
some instances six or seven distinct
trees stand in the area which before
surrounded the main tree. and they
will sometimes be as much a. 40 feet
