Willingness, according to reports, to in
cur deficiency If necessary, in the

from ten to fifteen are still burning.
The conditions this year do not arise

For Seed Potatoes,

Experiment shows that the most eco
nomic potato seed is made by cutting
medium-sized tuber into quarters.
1t also shows that larger pieces Of
seed potatoes will produce very much
heavier yield, as the young plant has
more nourishment to begin with; un-
der field conditions. however, the me.
dium-sized tuber cut In quarters is
the best and most economical. If this
can not be done, spread the seed out
In thin layer In cool, dark place,
and they may be used at any time
within ten days after cutting without
appreciable loss. Never sack or bar
rel the cut seed, nor expose 1t to the
hot sun.
