SOMERSET POTATO KING.

Skowhegnn Man Raises $4,000
Bushels ON Thirty Acres Of Land.
l. q. Tfsfton, Of Skowhegan, 10 king
among potato raissrs in Somerset county.
He has harvested nearly 1900 bushels OF
marketable potatoes this fall. This crop
wss raised on thirty acres Of ordinary
loan, and u the fourth extraordinary
yield that Mr.. TrAfton has secured in
succession.
For long time now his neighbors have
wondered just what II was that enabled
him 70 get theas uniformly high averages.
Four hundred bushels ID nothing remark
able for one sere, but when 1t holds mod
for thirty there 10 surely sonnet hing doing.
But at last the secret 10 out.
For . long time farmers have known
that potatoes would do much better when
supplied With fertilizer on the install meut
plan, but they knew OF NO practical
msthod for doing it. Mr.. Trafton solved
this problem. This il the way he docs II !;
When the times have come well throu~h
the ground and are growing their best, be
takes both plows Oh his planter, bot leaves
the fertilizer In working order. Then he
nils mp the hoppers with . hixh grade
mixture, and drives over the neid sstride
OF each row. The disk coversrs take the
fertilizer - II falls, mix II with the soil.
and at the same time cover up any small
weeds that may have started In the row.
More or lees Of the potato vines are COW
erred up, too. but they do mot seem 70
mind one bit.
After this treatment the little feeding
roots of the potato vines nnd plant food
waiting for them wherever thsy turn. It
dossn't take long for thsm to feel the
eflectA, and ths rssult u that tbs tube.,
start forming early and keep growing late.
Al digging time thsFs are about oue
hundred bushess Of choice spuds lying
around to pay for tbs trouble OF walking
the team oncs over the field. But Mr..
Trafton viii mot Be the only ons TO do
this next year, By big margin.
