The principal points to be observed
In successful potato growing are:
Select a well drained. loamy soil.
Give this the most thorough prepare
ton possible. DO not expect soil
that ia badly run out to give you good
returns. IL takes years to get a soil
ready for potato growing
Practice a rotation of crops which
will include clover to turn under.
Keep plenty OF humus in the soil TO
hold moisture.
Select mature seed OF a tested var
iety, free from disease, and from a
field free from blight.
Treat all tubers to be used for
planting purposes with formalin--one
pint to thirty gallons of water.
II will pay to select the best hills
from the field for seed purposes. They
will invariably greatly increase the
yield
Fertilize literally with high grade
fertilizer especially rich in available
phosphoric acid and potash. About
rs per cent in the cost OF fertilizer
can be saved by home mixing"
BE careful in the use of fresh stable
manure. wood ashes. or lime on the
potato land. These may create a con.
dition In which potato "scab." II pres
ent. will thrive.
Take the greatest precautions that
the land shall not become infected
with "scab." II may take years to
eradicate the disease.
Give the potato field the best of cul
tivation. AS much depends on this rs
on fertilizer. Practice cultivation that
will conserve soil moisture.
Do not attempt to grow potatoes
without spraying. Use Bordeaux mix.

some arsenical material to kill bugs :"
Spraying gives an increased value of
about $50 to the acre.

sured. In order for spraying to be
effective and successful three things
are fundamental.
l. Spraying at the right time.
2. The use OF a mixture of the
proper kind and properly prepared.
3. Thoroughness OF the work.
II will be observed too that we have
two classes of enemies to deal with.
namely: Insects and fungus diseases.
Each class requires a different mate
rial but fortunately in potato spray
ing both can be treated with a com
bined mixture.
