SELECTING SEED.


Probably no other crop is influenced
more by selection than the potato.
Many growers have found that variety
which will produce good returns on one
field may fail on an adjoining area. For
this reason il is quite necessary for
every grower to select his seed. The
method is simple, and can be carried on
by any farmer, who is careful with his
work and in every case he will be
rewarded with better yields
Go out into the potato field and select
your seed potatoes before you begin
to dig the entire field. Select a plant
that looks thrifty and vigorous and
which you think will have quite large
number of potatoes. If you select a
plant according to the above descrip-
ton, dig it up and see how many pota-
toes you have. If this plant has three
or four small potatoes and one very
large one, do not save the potatoes
from this plant at all. Why? Because
this plant has the power only to pro-
duce three or four small potatoes and
one large one. So if we plant either
the small potatoes or the large one of
this plant our result in next years crop
viii be the same, viz: three or four
small potatoes and one large potato.
However, if you select plant of the
above description and find three large
potatoes and two small ones do not
save this plant for the same reasons,
viz: that it can only produce three large
potatoes and two small ones.
Select plant of the above descrip-
ton which bears four or five nice, med
ium sized potatoes. Why? Because the
plant can produce the above number of
potatoes, and this size potatoes are the
best to sell on the market and also the
ones that cook the best. Remember,
that like produces like"
So if we will go into our potato patch
this fall before we begin to dig; and
select the seed potatoes in the manner
described, we cannot help but have an
increased yield for next years crop.
In making study of the potato plant
keep the following facts in mind:
!. Those that seem to resist the hot
weather.
2. Those that seem to resist disease.
8. Quality of the potato.
4. Number and size Of the potatoes
in the hill.
The above viii give us start in
growing better and more potatoes.
Next spring we viii tell how to handle
these potatoes that are selected this
fall and also the treatment for diseases
and the preparation of the seed bed,
etc.

SOIL.

The soil considered best is deep,
mellow, free working loan, grading
either sandy loan or clay soil. If
properly drained, potatoes can be grown
on heavier types of siol.
Tho following are some of the reasons
for selecting the lighter soils for potato
growing:
]. Such soils can be worked very
early in the spring.
2. The light soils become warm early
in the season and the termination of
the tubers proceeds more rapidly.
8. They can be placed in good filth
more easily easily than heavy soils and
with less labor.
4. Potatoes grown in these types
usually come out bright and clean and
more uniform in size.
8. The quality of the potato is bet

POTATOES IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Irish Potatoes Prove one of the
Most Valuable Crops the Da-
kota Farmer Can Raise.

At the present time South Dakota is
not listed as potato growing state,
but that fact does not prove that we
cannot grow the crop with profit. While
the average price for potatoes for a
series of years has been only fifty.cents
the value of the crop per acre is greater
than that of any Of the cereals. Aside
from its monetary value, the potato is
very valuable crop to include in a
rotation where small grains are TO be
grown. There is no reason why this
state should not rank well with other
states in lpotato production when her
climate and soils are of the first class
for the culture of this crop.
CLIMATE.
The potato does well in cold moist
climate. The average yield per acre is
greater in the northern states than in
the south; and greater in Canada than
in the United States. The crop holds
an important place in the general sys-
TEN of farming in many of the northern
states in point of cash returns per acre.
1t not only :hrives best in cool climates
of these states, but at the same time it
is very productive where the climate
almost forbids the culture of corn.

think that such a bank could be made

that the bank act was suspended. and
saw the worst panic OF a century stopped

bank TO issue its notes against bankers
securities. The additional money was
used to a very limited extent, as the
knowledge that the money could be had
restored confidence.
