in RAISING POTATOES
Soil Should Be Cultivated UntlI
Plants Well Up.
Cheapest and Most EfHcIOat Metssed
Of Keeping Weeds In Check and
0rsumd IN Good Condition
Mulch 10 Excellent.

By PROF. y. II. SHEPHERD, MoKtaSDa~i
kc4a Agricultural CoglegeJ
After TIE potatoes are planted the
land should be narrowed at intervals
until the vines are we'll up La, hpe
to six inches high. This is the cheap
est and most eficient method OF
keeping the weeds in check and the
soil in good condition. A four-heFBe
peg tooth harrow Of any type Is sat
isfactoFy. Care should be taken not
30 compact heavy soils too much.
Cultivation should begin az Don as
the vines are up and be continued
until the blossoms appear. or until it
causes injury to the tops. The culti-
vator should be used at frequent IN
tervals, Z to 10 days, even II there
are no weeds. At the Cornell station
the average yield in favor Of six cul-
tvations rather than three was ~
bushels per acre. Thus a profit is
secured far In excess Of the labor In
yolved. In some aso It might
mean the difference between success
and failure. The results have BEEN

Mulching Is sometimes practiced
when straw b plentiful. A-thick coat
ing Of straw IL spread over the
ground soon after planting. No cult
walton is necessary. A cool moist
soil Is maintained; the best possible
condition for large yields. Mulching
cannot be practiced on large fields
and is not practical unless It be for
the production Of seed or the assur-
ance Of q family supply.
Potatoes at the WiIliston sub-sta-
tion were mulched with six inches Of
straw IN the dry season OF 1910. The
mulched seed was planted very shall
low-barely covered. The plot for
comparison was covered four inches
deep. The yield was over 81 per cent
heavier on the mulched plot The po-
tatoes were larger and had a much
higher percentage Of marketable tp-
bers. The mulched potatoes were not
30 well matured as the others. Pro-
lection from the hot winds which pre-
vailed that season doubtless accounts
for much Of ne beneficial effect.
II has been found farther south
that seed potatoes grown under q
mulch give better results than those
grown in the ordinary way.

To The Farmer: ! prefer a north
slope for raising potatoes. for then the
sun will not burn them quite so hard
during the month of August. Glover
sod. that has raised one crop of cor
and has had no on the ground
for two or three years, is preferable,
though they do better on q rich soil.
For the general crop, plow the ground
about May 1 and subsoil it; that is,
plow twice in the same furrow,
getting the ground plowed ten inches
deep, harrow the same day it is plowed
and harrow once a we * till planting
time, about June 1. Should a heavy
rain pack the ground, harrow soon
after the rain, as the ground will
work well! If the harrow is not heavy
enough to break up the crust well, get
on the harrow and ride. Use a single
shovel pillow t. mark put the rows, run-
ming 1t pretty deep. The dirt will fall
back and partly fill the furrow, leaving
a nice, soft place to put the seed.
Make the rows three feet apart.
Now for half an acre or so, just for
farm4use. make the rows the long way
of the piece, three feet apart, and then
stretch q line cross-ways to get the
potatoe in rows both ways. 1t will
only be necessary to stretch the line
every three feet, dropping two rows at
a time, and making them eighteen
inches apart. Cover them only two
inches deep with a hoe for, as they
are down in a furrow, you don't want
them covered very deep, as they will
be too slow in growing. Put plenty
of work on the ground before planting,
then they will not need any work till
they are big enough for the cultivator.
AS soon as most of them are up, cul-
tivate, using small shovels that will
not throw much dirt. In four or five
days go over the field 'cross-ways with
the hand c%ultivator, or with the one
horse eultivator while the tops are
small, and keep up the cultivation as
long as the tops stand up, but when
they get to an age where they are
about ready to lie down, then ridge
them up, and there is occasionally a
little work to do with a hoe. Later
on, if it is very dry, go once in each
row with the one-shovel pillow; the
rows are already ridged up and it will
not put any more dirt around them.
The dirt stirred will fall back in the
furrow, making a mulch which viii
carry them through a dry spell bet
