TO SELECT SEED POTATOES
Don't Walt Until Digging Time, or
Even Until Vines Are Dead
Mark the Vigorous Hills.
Ry NJ. A. covERDELL)

Don't wait until potato-digging time
to select your seed potatoes-don't
wait even until the vines are dead. II
you do you are as liable to pick out
large potatoes from a small, undevel-
oped hill as you are from a thrifty
one.
While the vines are in full bloom
and show which are vigorous and pro-
ductive is the time for marking the
hills you will dig later for seed. Small
sticks driven beside the choice hills
serve this purpose very well.
This insures seed that will propagate
sturdy plants next season. And re-
member, both large and small pota-
toes from q strong hill may be plant
ed; but any size, either small or large,
from a puny hill-neverl
Use the same care and Judgment in
your selection of seed potatoes that
you do In selecting other seeds, and
you will find it a little time very
prohtably spent.

man who would take charge and in
q few years make enough money to
repay his investment. But that man
was not to be found. The best man
ager he had could not make a fair
profit on the money sunk in that
farm. The man was not living who
could make money on the enormous
overcapitalization. Many farmers
make the same mistake on a smaller
scale. They will pay too much for
their house or will put fancy fix
lures on their barns and in other
ways invest more money In their
business than its limit of expansion
would reasonably allow. And then
they wonder why each succeeding
