new irrigated tract, should give the
a first place in the system of rota-
tion of crops. But not necessary to
plant large acreage One of the first
things to be taken into considera-
tion is theselection of seed. 1t is
not advisable to raise more than two
or three varieties in one district, on
account of marketing in car lc
lots. Choose the variety you wish
to raise and then try to make that
potatoe perfect type of that vari-

essary to bev eryy careful to select
well matured tubers---that is true to

Where large potatoes are used
for seed they should be cut so that
there would be two eyes on each
piece, as near as practicable and
planted soon after being cut and
not allowed to dry out. Small po
tatoes, may be planted whole, with
good results, if they are well ma
tured and not run out. In using

Deep fall plowing is best, then as

preserve the moisture. When the
ground is plowed in the spring it
should be thoroughly narrowed as
soon as plowed. In fact all spring
plowing for any crop should be har-

important point that many of the
farmers are overlooking, Follow

irrigating every other row one day
and the other rows the next day,
which is a very successful method
of irrigating potatoes. Potatoes
should always be cultivated as coon

will work good. This is important
as it allows the air to penetrate the
soil, creates a dust mulch and con-
serves the moisture Cultivation is
just as essential as irrigation
Two or three irrigations should be
sufficient to- produce a maximum
yield. Do not allow the water to
get up around the vines, keep the
plants well ridged up and the water

is only moisture and not water that

unless the ground is very moist it
