Meetings of stockmen and horse
breeders are being held at numerous
places throughout the Hills and con-
siderable interest is being taken in the
question of raising better grade of
saddle horses in and around the Black
Hills. The movement has been taken
up by Lieut.. Edwards, of the Fourth
cavalry at Fort Meade, who is endeav-
oring to secure remount depot for this
post. He has taken the matter up with
the government and is assured that if
the horse breeders in this locality will
raise the right kind of horses the gov
eminent will not only purchase all that
can be raised, but will establish the re.
mount depot at Fort Meade.

afternoon, with Curtiss urging the

the general fund. After a lot of talk
about tainted money the report was
accepted, and the present session of
the legislature will probably make
that fund closed issue.

It "ill be seen from these figures
That the average farm value of the po-
tAlo is nearly four times that of any
other chop. This being the case, why
should not the potato become the lead
inS crop OF this state as we'll as the
most profitable? The potato may be
grown as cheaply here as anywhere;
It's quality is Of the best and the local
markets can not be surpassed.
Mr.. SprOul called attention to the
fact the potato requires soil rich
IN hunus or organic matter. He sug-
Sested that the best way to incorpor-
ate this important constituent in the
soil is to plow under crop of clover.
COW peas, sofa beans, or to apply lib
cral coating Of barnyard manure. The
manure should be applied to the crop
Immediately preceding the potatoes,
as 1t Will cause scab when applied d.
rectly to the potato field.
Emphasis was laid upon the neces-
slty OF using good seed, free from
scab. He suggested that it would be
most profitable to the grower to de-
vote a small parcel of land to the
breeding Of better seed. In order to
get the best results from any seed
the tubers must be carried over, the
winter in cool place where there Is
no danger Of freezing. If the seed
potatoes are allowed to sprout before
planting their vitality is greatly d.
miE.EHcd and the yield will be les
Sencl.
An excellent method Of storing seed
potatoes is to dig Il hole about twelve
lrchos deep in wcll-draincd soil; put
IN the potatoes, mounding them up;
cover we'll with straw, then with q
light coat Of earth after the first
light freeze cover with another coat
Of earth, and, when this Is frozen hard,
cover the whole with two feet OF
straw or Chaff. This will keep the tn
bers from sprouting until planting
tine.
Mr.. Sproul begins cultivating his
crop before it comes up, following the
rows by the ridge they make. The
first cultivation is made deep to keep
VIC cpil OtIHetll IllS 10" ) loose. L mis-
is followed by smoothing harrow
AS the plants begin to come I'D a
wecder is used. From this time until
the vines are too large the cultiva-
tons are frequent and thorough. 1t is
desired to keep the surface Of the soil
in the form of a dust much to pre-
vent the escape of moisture.
Because of the ravages of the potato
beetle and the prevalence of blight,
spraying is absolutely necessary for
best results. Bordeaux mixture of the
$3.50 formula is used, to which 21h
pounds Of arsenate of lead is added
as poison. The first spraying should
be applied when the vines are eight
inches high, or earlier, if the bugs
make an appearance. About four
sprayings should be applied. The
poison need not. be added after the
bugs have disappeared.
The College of Agriculture at Nor
gantown will be glad to advise with
potato growers as to best methods 70,
this state and to furnish information
in regard to breeding better seed, fer
tilizers, spraying, etc, to all who
apply.
