He says that experience shows that at
customary prices, returns OF $50 per
acre are easily possible. One Scott
county grower last fall realized $500
from a single acre. In 1911. an unfav-
orable year, forty growers reported to
the college an average net pront OF
S65.26 from their potato crop for every
acre grown. Potatoes may be grown IN
Iowa at gross cost OF 2o cents per
bushel-the experience OF many grow
ers shows that Some men IN the state
raise as high as 200 bushels an acre
on the average. Frequently growers
get from 400 to 500 bushels on single
acres.

seem to be necessary. The railroad Of

issued an exhaustive bulletin on potato
growing in Iowa. for free distribution.
Iowa is not furnishing it's share OF
the worlds potato crop. declares the
author of the bulletin, G. r. Bliss. OF
the 30O.O00.000 bushels produced an
nually in the United States, Iowa pro-
duces only a meager 100000 annually
on the average "Moreover." he adds.
Iowa doesn't produce potatoes for
home consumption. Many farmers buy
their winter supply. The total yield in
Iowa has decreased during the six years
past until now many counties import
to supply their needs. During the ten
year period from 1901 to 1910 Maine
had an average yield of 1879 bushels per
acre. while Iowa had only s2.3 bushels.
less than half as much. The gross re-
turns per acre for Maine for the ten
year period averaged s102.63 per acre as
compared with s41.04 in Iowa.
when it is remembered that Iowa
has the largest continuous area of fer
tile land suitable for corn or potato
production in the United States. it
may we'll be asked. why is the avease
yield for Iowa so low? Briefly stated.
the causes of Iowa's low yield are un-
favorable soil conditions. poor seed.
poor culture, insect and fungous enemies
and unfavorable seasonal conditions.
More drainage. more soil fertility.
stronger. healthier seed. better culture
and more spraying are the antidote>s.'

Lake Tuesday n fact the catch has

that everything is full, and boxes and
cars can not be provided fast enough
to take care of the fish. The Weidners
are in charge of the SEEMING. Last year
they commenced the work but they did
not meet with success. They penned
the carp IN at the upper part of the
lake, but they became so frantic that
they battered down the barricade of
dirt and boards and got back into the
big lake. Some of the carp being
caught weigh as high as fifty pounds.
Several have been caught of this
weight. They are fat as can be and the
men who are seining them claim that
they can live out of water the longest
Of any fish they know. They will be
engaged all the spring at this work.
