GOOD CULTURE OF POTATOES
Deslrability Of Planting Seed Deep In
soII--New Land Planted to
Glover ls Best.

In growing potatoes, my pet idea Is
to plant the seed deep. so the crop
will get all the moisture possible. Let
the seed be at least or inches
below the level Of the soil In which
the potatoes are planted, says writ
er In the American Cultivator.
BY all means set the seed In deep.
We need not cover them full depth
when planted, but leave the burrows
to be filled in gradually during the
subsequent civilizations Do not hill
the potatoes much: just round the
earth about the vines sufficiently to
keep the tubers well covered over.
Soil suitable for potato growing must
be well drained and when this has
been done. either naturally or arti-
ficially, 1t is very important, this
planting deeply 90 the roots will form
we'll down deep in the moist. cool
soil, which makes ideal conditions for
the production Of large tubers In
abundance. This is the principle of
so-called trench culture" of potatoes.
Happily. We can perform now nearly
all the work of cultivation and har-
vesting by machines run by horse
power. thus doing away with the
costly and tedious hand labor. In
growing all crops we must cut down
the expense Of culture to the lowest
possible mark.
In selecting soil for potato culture,
new land or land recently in grass
and clover affords ideal conditions for
the growth Of the potato. The second
season after blowing up the grass or
clover sod is much more suitable for
potato culture than the first, as OBJ
yiously We cannot plant the seed
deep on new tough sod, but year
or two, first in corn culture, will
tame the sod so as to fit 1t admirably
for the potato.
