prac tically all free from blight and
scab. Many growers who failed to
select and plant clean seed and neg
lected to spray, harvested less than
so per cent of their crop. Some re-
port total loss.
Selection of seed. One of the most
important principles of potato grow
ing and one which is too often neg
lected is the selection of seed. We
would not plant screenings to raise
wheat crop nor use our poorest stock
for breeding purposes. Why then
should we sell our best potatoes and
use the culls for seed?
Shortly before digging time go
through the field and mark with
stakes the healthiest, best formed
and most vigorous plants. Dig those
hills first and save the most uniform
tubers from the best yielding hills.
Use these tubers for the selected
seed of next year. If the grower has
a large acreage of potatoes he can
plant the selected seed in rows near
the main field, giving them as good
care as he gives the main crop. From
these rows he may choose out the
best hills each year for the selected

disease. The expense of spraying
will vary according to the ease with
which the material may be mixed
and applied and the strength and
amount of material used. Two ap-
plications of Bordeaux mixture we're
made at this station during the sum-
mer of 1913. One was made when
the plants were about ten inches in
height and the other when they had
almost covered the ground. Bor-
deaux mixture 4-4-50 strength (See
Septem Der 1913 Monthly Bulletin,
page 10, for making Bordeaux mix
ture), was used for the first applica-
ton and 100 gallons per acre did the
work nicely. For the second applica-
ton 55 so strength was used and 200
gallons per acre was required. The
first application cost So. 80 per acre,
while the second cost was almost
doubled. Most of this seed was taken
from a field that had been badly
blighted the previous season but no
diseased seed was planted; all seed
was treated for scab and planting
was in clean land. In return for this
trouble and expense about 20 tons of
potatoes per acre we're harvested

MAY ABANDON PLAN FOR FAIR
GUARANTEE.

NORTH YAKIMA, March 1O.-For
the third time since the conferenc
with Governor Lister at Seattle, on
February Dist. the committee Of 10
business men which had un dertaken
to raise a guarantee of SO, 0O0 for the
1914 State Fair on Monday afternoon
met, briefly discussed the situation
and adjourned. The reason assigned
for the latest adjournment is that a
decided difference of opinion had
arisen within the committee as to
whether it was advisable to proceed
further with the canvass, and as the
members were unable to agree it was
decided best to request a conference
with the members of the governing
board of the Yakima Commercial
Club and members of the Yakima
Valley Blu siness Mems Association
and submit the matter to them for
fipal decision. For the first time
members of the soliciting committee
admitted that it was probable that
the plan would be abandoned.

naming rows for seed of the main

can be secured directly from the Sc

horticulture

just as we'll to plant cut pieces. A
seed piece weighing two or three
ounces makes convenient size for
planting and contains enough food
material to support three or four
vigorous stalks until the plant has
developed its own roots. When cut
ting, all pieces showing signs of dis
ease should be discarded. Only clean
and healthy seed should be planted
as lotted or scabby seed is apt to
inoculate the soil with spores of the
disease. 1t is best to keep an anti
septic solution, such as foTmalin,
nearby, for cleansing knives after
diseased tuber has been cut.
Planting Depth of planting will
depend upon the character of the soil.
In light, sandy soils which tend to
dry out, the seed piece should be
planted four or five inches deep,
while three inches is deep enough If
the s. il is heavy. Early potatoes
should not be planted quite as deep
as later varieties.
The distance between rows and
hills will also depend on the soil and
the variety of potato. Varieties
which produce large tubers should
be planted closer than those which
produce small tubers. Good care
will also permit closer planting than
if the soil is to be neglected. The
usual planting distance is from II to
Is inches in the row with rows 80 to
40 inches apart. Varieties which
produce large tubers will usually re-
quire from eight to IL sacks per acre
for planting while varieties having
smaller tubers will require from five
to seven sacks.
Cultivation. Soon after the seed
is planted, cultivation should begin.
Harrow thoroughly every week or ten
days until the plants are we'll above
the ground. After this the surface
soil should be cultivated often
enough to hold an earth mulch and
keep weeds from starting. Cultivat-
ing deep, close to the plants, after
they are half grown is apt to break
off many lateral roots and this should
be avoided. Some growers raise the
teeth of their eultivators nearest the
plants so that they can stir the soil
close to the rows without cutting off
lateral and surface roots. Hill or
ridge cultivation also tends to destroy
many of these roots and unless the
soil is wet or the variety apt to grow
out of the soil. killing should not be
practiced The crop is easier har-
vested by this method and it is an
easy habit to acquire, but in general
it is not the best practice.
Spraying. Late blight has become
so prevalent in Western Washington
fields that spraying is almost a neces-
sity. Bordeaux mixture should be
used in such sprayings. At least two
applications of Bordeaux should be
made, and during rainy season more
will be necessary. Make the first ap
plication when the plants are eight
or 10 inches in height. Watch the
plants to see when it is necessary to
make later applications. AS long as
the Bordeaux shows plainly on the
foliage of the plants il will not be
