combinations of conditions. This
combination would include
l. Selection of soil having such
crop history as experience has shown
to be good preparation for potatoes.
2, Fall blowing and previous tillage
favorable to the accumulation of plant
food and the conservation of moisture.
8. Good seed.
4. Proper planting.
5. Thorough cultivation.
Careful observations Of crops in
several localities and the experience
OF many old-time growers indicate
that many times soil which has pro-
duced potatoes the preceding year is
in better condition for the second sea-
son than is soil which grew other
crops.
Experiment Station records indicate
the year 1911 as having been one of
the two least favorable for potatoes
of any year since the establishment
Of the station in 1877.
Field A.-Corn in 1907 sweet po-
tatoes in 1910; produced 1OS bushels
of potatoes in 1911.
Field B.-Corn in 1909; onions
1910; produced SO bushels Of potatoes
in 1911.
Field Corn 1909; potatoes 1910;
produced So bushels of potatoes in
1911.
Field D.-Potatoes both preceding
years; 60 bushels of potatoes in 1911.
Field En- alfalfa several years
previously; So bushels in 1911.
Other and older potato-growing sec
lions have proved the value of rota-
ton, and it seems that the potato
grower, while appreciating the other
crops, should have the potato crop al
ways in mind. In 1918 the best yields
were from field T, in alfalfa in 1911;
fall plowed and corn in 1912, corn cut
early and fall plowed, and potatoes
in 1913; yielded $50 bushels-a large
yield when the seasons deficiency in
rainfall is remembered
Land of the same quality at field T,
alfalfa in 1912, fall plowed, and pota-
toes in 1918, gave a very low yield
So bushels. 1t seems probable that
when it appears advisable to follow
alfalfa with potatoes that the alfalfa
ground should be plowed as early as
September l, in order to avoid the de-
mand upon soil moisture made by the
late growth of alfalfa.
That fall blowing is one of the
prime requisites is shown by the
unanimity of all the observations

by Albert Dickens, Professor
T~ HE MOST favorable soil condi-
ton for crop of potatoes is a
deep, fine soil that retains mois-
ture well and contains an abundance
of plant food with no excess of read
lily available nitrogen. Large areas
of the river-valley soils have in the
past furnished almost ideal conditions,
and with proper care these conditions
may be maintained. This mainten-
ance will be the result of careful soil
management, including application of
fertilizers and system of crop rota-
ton.
The upland soils, even stiff clay
soils, may be expected to produce
fair crops if careful management is
given Careful plans covering several
years work must replace the hap
hazard methods which have satisfied
many growers in the past.
There is an element of uncertainty
in the growing of any crop, due to the
variation ia season and the resultant
of these weather forces upon soil con-
dltions, but there is a method of pro-
cedure which best prepares for any

UNREASONABLE THING TO ASK
Thirsty Tourists Inclined to Be Fin
lcky Should Visit ireland During
the Winter Months.

Two New York men were touring
Ireland last summer by automobile.
On hot July afternoon they came
to an inn. Stopping, they went into
the bar. A red-cheeked peasant girl
was the barmaid. The travellers or.
dered Irish and Soda The girl served
them and went on with her inter-
rupted work of wiping the bar. One
of the men tasted his drink and found
1t tepid.
Il say, my girl" he said, won't
you please put some Ice in these
drinks?"
Her mouth went wide open and the
hopping cloth was poised in mid-air
Amaze held her silent for a moment
Then she found tongue in hurry.
Ice, is It? And who the ever
heard of ice In July?"
Whereupon she fell to polishing
again.

made; aside from the value of fall
blowing as an aid in the control of
insects, the increased yield is suffi-
cient argument On heavy soils the
need OF second blowing in the spring
has sometimes been indicated. On
loamy soils the harrow and disk have
been sufficient to put the soil in con-
dition for planting Shallow spring
blowing has been better than deep
spring blowing, and immediate har-
rowing has been practiced. The in
crease in yield in the most favorable
seasons indicated that the liberation
of plant food in fall-plowed land is a
most important factor in potato pro-
duction.
A comparison of a great many lots
Of seed potatoes, and careful tests
with considerable number. force the
conclusion that northern seed is usu-
ally better investment than home
grown, although there have been
few tests where the homegrown seed
was less sariousl" nfsaoto1 - -
ease than some OF the seed from the
north.

varieties which yield grain in about
ninety days.
Home grown seed of these early va.
rieties or seed from the early ma.
turing types grown in north central
Nebraska or South Dakota should be
planted, Professor Call says. Such
varieties as Minnesota No. 19, Pride
of the North, or early strains of Iowa
Silver Mine and Reid's Yellow Dent
should furnish corn for feed during
most of August if planted as early
as possible this spring.
1t is not advisable, Professor Can
says, to plant large acreage to
these varieties. They do not make
large yields under Kansas conditions.
Only local varieties, known to be
adapted to this state, should DO
planted for the main crop.

PLANT A LITTLE EARLY CORN
BY Doing This, Farmers May Have
Grain for Feed During August,
Says Professor Call.

If Kansas farmers will plant few
acres this spring to early maturing
corn it will be possible to have grain
for feed during August. L. E. Call,
professor of agronomy at the agri-
cultural college, says that the short
crop last year means that many
farmers will be out of feed before the
next crop natures, or paying high
prices for it. He advises the plant
ing of few acres to any one of the
