QUALITY IN POTATOES

/, What is quality? In some oun
fries a heavy, soggy cooking potato 10
thought to possess the highest quality.
In the United States most people pre-
Ter q potato which will become mealy
when cooked. The potato should not.
however, be SO starchy that it will
break the skin or fall to pieces be-
fore becoming cooked. For slicing and
Trying a soggy potato is desirable.
IRON these statements it will be seen
that quality In potatoes is dependent
upon ones taste.
. Mealiness Is dependent upon the va.
Fiety and the soil, climate and matur>
ldty. A dry, sandy soil produces the
mealiest potatoes. An immature po-
'tato seldom cooks we'll and from our
standard is Of very poor quality. If
the tubers are so green that the skin
is easily bruised they will be inferior
In keeping quality. Maturity is indi.
Gated by a corky surface and the pres.
n c Of lenticles. When the vines are
badly injured by insects or diseases
the tubers do not mature and such
a crop will have poor quality.
There are many characters which
indicate quality, percentage of dry
master, size, specific gravity, appear.
ance, flavor, surface, smoothness,
color of skin and flesh, depth of eyes
and texture. These characters have
either been described or need no de.

INJURY DONE BY FLAX CROP
Not Materially Different From Other
"SmaIl Grains"-Loss Caused

(By PROF. H. L.. BOLLEY, Botanist,

Most fax seed growers of the north.
ives err states nc longer believe that
the flax seed crop is particularly soil
impoverishing. It is not materially
different from other small grain or
seed producing crops in it's draft upon
the soil. Indeed, an average crop OF
flax calls fer llegs water and less Of
mineral matters than any Of the chiei
cereal crops.
Most growers are convinced that the

W observations upon and their re
suits with this crop indicate that the
deterioration Of the yield and quality
of flax seed which in the past has
come about so quickly upon many Of
the most fertile land areas of the
country was not due to lost fertility
brought about by the fax crop, but lie
due directly to the attack of certain
seed and straw borne root diseases OF
the crop. A normal fax crop cannot
be expected, even upon the most fer

about a thoroughly fax-sick condition,

REMEDY BLOWING SOIL
Excellent Method Is to Introduce
Vegetable Matter.
Where Rainfall 10 Light No Plant 10
Better Adapted for Purpose Than
t Alfalfa-Another Excellent
Way Described.

(By PROF. THOMAS SHAW, Agriculture
al Expert, Northern Pacific and Great
Northern Railways.)s
It Is generally known that the light
soils of Dakota and other places in
the northwest did not blow where
they were first plowed. They did not
blow for two or three years subse.
quently, and in many instances for a
longer period. It is generally conceded
that the same soils blow now because
continued cropping with grain has
taken out of the soil the vegetable
fbers which bound it together. The
remedy then is plain. Put into the
soil vegetable matter to replace what
has been taken out by the continued
cropping. How shall it be done?
, Where the rainfall is low no plant
will answer the purpose better than
alfalfa. Happily this crop Is well
adapted for being grown on such soils,
better probably than most other crops.
But it will not do to prepare the land
al it is generally prepared for this
crop. One method Of preparing it
would be to grow a crqe Of corr after
having spread manure on the land as
500 as it was plowed. The spreader
will do this best. This may be worked
Into the soils with q disk. The ma
nure will help to hold the soil. Corn
Is grown on this land Of some dwarf
kind, removing the earl when ripe,
and the following spring, drilling in
the alfalfa among the corn. The soil
in such instances would not blow. An.
other way would be to manure the land
when practicable and then plow it
about June 20 and at once drill in q
peck or half 2 peck Of some low-grow.
ing kind Of corn. This may be kept
clean with the harrow. The corn 10
left, and alfalfa the next spring is
drilled In amid the stalks. Yet an.
other way 10 to grow large corn and
to cut the stalks high. The alfalfa 10
drilled In amid the corn stubs.
II grass 10 to be. started on such
land the best kind would be Russian
bronze or q mixture Of Russian bronze
and western rye. These both grow
well on light land. A stand may be
obtained by sowing winter rye in the
fall. Il should not be too thickly
sown. In the spring the alfalfa seed
10 sown on the rye ground either by
putting 1t in with the drill or sowing
1t broadcast and covering with the
harrow.
II both grasses are sown they should
be mixed before sowing them. II but
one 10 sown, bronze will answer the
purpose better than western rye. It
will put more roots into the soil and
will therefore bind the particles bet
ter whom the bronze H. broken up.
Another way would be to start rye
in q OFT crop before the corn to ripe,
or even to start It in aubbles By drill

MAKING ALFALFA HAY
Little Study Shows Why Grea,
Care Should Be Exercised,
Crop 10 Best Cured II Leaves Are Left
In WlIted condItIon-Rain Does
Great Injury In D~IssolvInq
Some Of Protein.

By l.. r. WALDRON, Superintendent
Dickinson Satisfactory
A little study shows why great care
should be exercised in making alfalfa
hay. Unlike true grasses, the leaves
readily fall from the alfalfa plant az
soon az they are dry. Leaves are the
richest portion Of the plant and con.
tain much the higher percentage of
protein. Without the leaves, the al.
falfa plant would be but little more
valuable than ordinary grass hay.
Great care then should be exercised
to save all the leaves possible in max.
ing alfalfa hay. @
After the plants are cut, while the
leaves are wilted, but before they are
dry, the leaves draw the moisture
from the Stems Of the plant. AS soon
as the leaves become dry they cease
drawing moisture from the stem.
Wherefore hay is best cured If the
leaves are left in a wilted condition.
This is brought about by allowing the
hay to cure in absence Of sunlight. A
large part Of the curing should be
done. then, in the window and in the
cock. When the hay is allowed to
cure in the swath, even tho necessary
handling Of the hay to get it onto tho
wagon brings about a great loss Of
leaves. This loss should be prevented
whenever possible.
With these principles In mind, the
alfalfa hay. II cut In the morning, and
with q yield Of one to one and q half
tons per acre. will be ready to rake
and bunch in the afternoon, If condi.
tions for hay making are good. With
a light cutting Of alfalfa, the rake may
follow the mower within three or four
hours. The hay should be raked up
while still green. before it has become
dry. A good share of the curing
should take place in the cock. Bunch.
ing 10 best done by hand. as punching
with the rake wastes considerable Of
the hay, and the punches, when so
made, are not in az good a condition
to turn water. II the crop is light. the
hay may be drawn the same day It is
cut. =
Rain does great injury in causing
loss Of alfalfa leaves which form 80
valuable a portion Of the hay. Not
only is there an absolute loss of the
leaves, but the rain dissolyes out some
Of the protein from the leaves. Al
falfa hay may be drawn before it is
entirely dry, as 1t will do some of it's
curing In the stack or NOV. Cock
covers may be made out Of muslin
IS, or better, AZ inches square. The
center of the owe may be painted to
turn water. The should be
weighted. As q general rule, not
more than two cuttings annually will
be secured from alfalfa in North Da-
kota. The second cutting should be
made at relatively the same time as
the first cutting-in early bloom.
When the hay is intended for horses
the cutting may be made when the
alfalfa Is in full bloom.
Alfalfa should not be cut so late
that it will be unable to make some
recovery before the end Of the O
Ing season. The growth made by the
alfalfa after the last cutting protects
the plants by catching snow. Grimm
alfalfa will not need this protection as
much as alfalfa commonly sown, but
even with Grimm, catching of snow
s of value In wetting the ground.
