will build houses and bungalows
on wholesale scale to meet the
already great needs of the expand
ing city, and provide the public
with securities Of unquestioned
value and most gratifying earning
power. Similar concerns in some
of the Southern States are not
only proving marvellous revenue
producers to their shareholders,
but are accomplishing wonders for
their home cities in building up
The community, adding new and
highly improved districts, and in
making it possible for vast num-
bers Of thrifty home-loving people
to own their own dwellings on the
easy payment plan, amidst con
genial neighbors and in localities
that are constantly increasing in
value.
The "Pacific Home Builders
is no experiment, nor does it
speculate in any way with the
money Of its shareholders, turn
ing its money rapidly, and will be
in position to earn from two
to four profits year on its build
ing, and the building operations,
being on large scale, enable saw
ings that are startling when com
pared with the cost to individuals.
Always in such a company care
full management is one of the
greatest assurances of success, and
This factor may be emphasized with
vigor in the ''Pacific Home Build
ers." Let us have an opportun-
ity 10 60 into details with you on
this point. But to almost every
one in Seattle and the Northwest
the list of officers and directors of
the company will be ample assur-

cure the potato clean and free from
earth. Breaking the skin, cutting or
bruising the potato in any way reduces
its market value and storage quality.
Careful work will reduce this loss to
less than one per cent; and there is
seldom any justification for the methods
Of harvesting that reduce it above five
per cent. The pickers should follow close
after the diggers and it usually pays
to have the sorting done as the pick

tween the rows should be kept nearly
level.
This ridge Of soil will protect the
potatoes from sunburn. Some varieties
produce the tubers very close to the
surface. OF SO near the surface that
after a time the ends Of the potatoes
may extend above thesurfaee. The
principle thing to be accomplished by
tilage is to keep down weeds and con-
serve soil moisture.
If crop Of clover or some other vege-
tation has been turned under it may be
found advisable to till deep early, but
as soon as the roots Of the plants begin
to extend out into the space between
the rows the cultivation must be more
shallow or serious harm will be done
to the plants. Cutting the roots OF
the plants by the last tillagc will greatly
reduce the possibilities Of the crop.
The tillage should be continued as
long as possible without direct harm to
the plants. Frequent shallow tillage
viii maintain the best supply Of mois-
ture and help to produce a crop OF
smooth, even potatoes
In Irrigated Sections.
In irrigated sections little differ
ent system of tillage is necessary. The
systems suited to localities differ more
than in non-irrigatcd regions. The po-
tato crop is more frequently planted on
land than has had clover OF alfalfa
sod turned under. In this ease it is
usually necessary to cultivate very deep
as soon as the planting is done. The
harrow can be used to great advantage
to keep down weeds and to drag to the
surface and break up any sods that may
be lifted by the cultivator The first
cultivation is often given Immediately
after planting and the land should then
be narrowed thoroughly and as soon as
the plants are tall enough for the rows
to be easily followed. shallow tillage
should be continued The soil should be
gradually thrown in ridge over the
row. This facilities irrigation and pro-
duces the covering necessary for the
protection of the potatoes. Deep tillage
is sure to be injurious to the plants and
lit is, for that reason, always good
practice to ridge the land early.
Mulching.
Small fields or garden patches in non
irrigated sections can often be mulched
with straw OF marsh hay with good re-
suits.
The mulch should be applied just be-
fore the potato sprouts appear above
ground. -Four to eight inches of loose
material may be used.
The plants will grow up through this
without trouble, and good mulch will
conserve moro moisture than any ordi
nary system Of tillage. This practice
should be resorted to only in sections
where the moisture supply is difficult
to maintain.
The mulch material should be free
from seed or another crop will be plant
ed and result in more harm than good.
Mulching requires good deal of time
and material and is not practical in
large fields. o
Harvesting.
In large fields the machine diggers
should be used in harvesting the crop.
1t is cheaper than hand digging OF
plowing out with an ordinary turning
plow Hand digging is especially ex-
pensive, and careless diggers cut and
injure 3 great many potatoes.
Flowing out the crop is wasteful, as
large PEI cen tof the crop is left in the
ground.
The crop should be dug, il possible
lwhile the soil is drying in order to &c

ground.
The potatoes should not be allowed to
lie on the surface of the soil for more
than few hours. Those that are dug
in late summer or early fall should be
gathered up Immediately and sacked
and hauled to sheds or warehouses.
Bright sunshine will cause them. to
turn green and sunburn, which Injuries

FHE size of the seed piece Of potato
lE planted seems to have direct in
fluence over the crop of potatoes
produced. This fact is founded on the.
fundamental principle that the large
seed piece or whole potato produces
larger and stronger vines than the ex-
tremely small potato or small piece of
potato. Another point that some time
has its influence is the fact that the
eyes located nearest the bud end of
the potato usually sprout earliest and
are more active in their early develop
ment of plants than the eyes located
nearer the stem end. In planting whole
potatoes, it is commonly observed that
only one or two eyes at the bud end
produce sprouts, except in the case Of
extremely large tnbers. and that it does
not tend to produce too many plants in
hill, as is sometimes thought.
The Colorado Experiment Station
found by actual trial that seed pieces of
potato or whole potatoes weighing less
than two ounces produced smaller and
weaker plants and lighter crop than
seed pieces or whole potatoes weighing
two ounces or mere; that when the piece
Of seed potato weighed far in exceses of
two ounces there was very little gained
in vigor of plants or crop produced.
Considering the value of the seed, a
two-ounce piece or whole potato gave
approximately the maximum returns for
the money invested in seed. This has
been found true in field crop work and
Is now generally accepted by many
growers in different sections of the
country. Some prefer to plant the en-
tire tuber and never use cut seed. There
, appears to be some foundation for faith
in this system. However, it does not
prove to be equally wen + inded in diff
ferent localities. In localities where the
soil condition is such that the seed po-
tato decays rapidly the whole potato
is better Tor planting, but in eases
where the pieces Of seed potato do not
decay rapidly, the advantage is not so
apparent.
Medium Potatoes Best
In cutting potatoes for seed, the
medium sized ones are ordinarily to be
preferred Split the potato lengthwlse
and if further cutting is desired, cut
crosswise but do not cut to single
eve. unless potato seed is very scarce,
or the tubers used are extremely large
Mechanical cutters are seldom salts
factory. because they do not discrimi-
nate or select sizes. Neither do they
avoid cutting directly through the eyes
Of the potato.
The thickness of planting varies ac-
eording to locality and fertility of the
soil. The general distance between
rows is from SO to 40 inches and the dis.
tance between plants or hills in the
row varies from l2 to Is inches. Early
potatoes of small size can be planted
more thickly than the large late growing
varieties.
Cultivation.
In the non-irrigated sections, clean
shallow, level tillage should be given
until the new potatoes begin to form
but from this time until the cultivation
is discontinued slight ridge should be
thrown over the row The land be
