Glover Versus Alfalfa.
Throughout the corn belt clover is
the most important legnme, In west
ern United States alfalfa is largely
grown. while In the south cowpeas
soy beans and vetch are the principal
legumes The legume best adapted to
your own locality is the best one to
grow, at least until careful expert

the soil is loose and dry, alfalfa sends

When good stand of alfalfa has been

balanced in most instances by its dis

Getting a Stand Of Glover.
The question of getting Il stand of
clover is a troublesome one on in:,ny
farms. This is due largely to improper
methods. The first point to consider
Is the soil. Land that has been farincti
number Of years is likely to be acid
u condition which makes it i'll fitted
to grow clover This acidity can bt
overcome by adding ground limestone
as suggested in article No =
A seed bed in good tilth and free
from weed seeds is also an important
consideration. Little clover plants are
very tender and cannot well compete
with weeds or force their way through
clods. Land that has been kept r.n
sonably free from weeds the previous
season is best for clover Suc! land
prepared as for oats as described in

A or for home use only, it is
important that the potato
crop be made to yield as
much as possible With the right kind
Of care yields of 800 to 800 bushels to
the acre can be obtained, making this
one of the most profitable crops that
can be grown. Even with the most
careless treatment the tuber frequent
ly yields most generously.
The potato is very particular in its
soil requirements. A rich sandy loan
is The best soil. Not all farms have
such soil, but almost any soil can be
so prepared as to make n fairly good
potato patch. Two things are essen
tial. mellowness and plenty of mois-
tnre. Clay is too heavy aud sand dries
out too rapidly Soils which contain
too much clay or too much sand can
be greatly improved for the production
of potatoes by the addition of h,lmns
The ideal way to prepare field for
potatoes is to seed 1t to clover for at
least year, manure it heavily, plow
it up and plant it to corn In the fall
the corn can be cut for silage nr fed
der, so that it can be plowed before
winter. The blowing should be fairly
deep. Two diskings and a narrowing
or two the following spring make an
ideal seed bed for potatoes
Potatoes are not raised from seed
but from the swollen underground
stems that we call tubers or potatoes
Any piece Of a tuber that contains an
"eye" will grow and produce more Of
its kind. A potato vine grown from =
piece Of tuber is really not a new
plant. but part Of the old one If ont
side conditions are the same the plant
will be the same and produce the same
kind of crop There is much lass
tendency to vary in plants proragaica
in this way than in those raised from
seed.
Large Versus Small Potatoes.
Because of the fact that the potato
Is not seed it has been claimed that
small potatoes would produce just as
good crops as large ones Growers
often sort out and plant the hlbcis
that are too small for market The
outcome of four or five years of such
selection almost always means de
creased yield II the potatoes planted
were small only because they did not
have chance to develop they would
produce nearly as good results as lar
ger ones from the same hill #. how,
ever, they were small because they
came from hill of tubers all Of whicls
were naturally small they woIid Pre-
duce mostly small potatoes like them
selves For this reason 1t Is not safe
to plant the small tubers Another i'm
portant point is that there is not
enough food material in a small DO
tato to give the sprput the kind Of a
start that 1t needs to produce good
yield 1t is the stocky, vigorous hills
that are full Of large potatoes when
digging time comes The start the
plant gets while it is first making its
way to the surface Of the .rnuu;l
largely determines the vigor with
which 1t will continue to grow through
out the season.
The experience OF most potato grow
ers is that it is best to plant mc;:irln,
