POTATO GROWER PAYS
LITTLE ATTENTION
TO QUALITY

OF the many causes which operate
to produce low average potato yield
in this country, poor seed is thought
to be very important one. The
American potato grower pays little
attention to his seed potatoes. The
European growers, especially those OF
Great Britain and Germany, pay very
strict attention to the quality and
quantity of the seed they use This
had led to a differentiation of the po-
tato industry into seed and crop spe-
cialists. The seed specialists makes
business of producing high-quality
seed, while the crop specialist pro-
duces a high-grade table potato. No
such differentiation at least to the
same extent, occurs in this country. 1t
is true that in certain sections we now
have a well-developed seed-potato-
growing industry, but comparatively
few growers in these sections are pay
ing sufficient attention to the elimina-
ton of diseased and unproductive
strains or to keeping the variety
grown from mixture with other varie-
ties. 1t is believed, however, that the
time is ripe for demanding better
grade of seed potatoes than is now
generally obtained from either seeds
men or growers.
The question of what constitutes
good seed is vital one, and possibly
no two persons would fully agree in
every particular upon that point. 1t
would seem, however, that the follow
ing factors play an important role:
Pure seed from productive plants, not
over ripe, uniform in size and shape,
firm and sound, with the sprouts just
showing at planting time. Seed of
such quality, if furnished suitable cul-
tural conditions, will seldom fail to
produce a rcmunerative crop. A con
servative estimate of the increase that
might be expected from the use of
high grade seeds is certainly not less
than ten per cent Such an increase,
based on the average of the past five
years, would amount to over thirty
four and one fourth million bushels,
having an approximate valuation of
$2l 100000.

Dangers of a Cold

Do you know that of all the minor
ailments colds are by far the most
dangerous? 1t is not the colds them
selves that you need to fear, but the
serious diseases that they so often
lead to. For that reason every cold
should be gotten rid of with the least
possible delay. To accomplish this
you will find Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy of great help to you. 1t

expectoration and enables the system

Free Range for Turkeys.

The ideal place for raising turkeys
is on large grain or alfalfa ranch
where the birds can roam at will and
pick up their living as they go. Where
all their food must be bought they are
not very profitable, for they are very
large eaters and there is always dan
ger of overlooking them. Where they
have suitable range they are very
prohtable,as many farmer and farm
er's wife has found.
Much depends on the character of
the bird chosen as breeders. 1t is
not wise to breed from hens under
two years of age. Pullet eggs often
hatch well, but the young BIRDS are
smaller and lack the stamina of those
Matched from mature mothers. A
young tom mated to two or three
year-old hens usually gives the best
results.
In choosing breeders select the
large, early Matched birds. Many
farmers tempted by the high prices
paid just before Thanksgiving let
their largest birds go and keep the
smaller ones for breeders. Late
Matched birds are rarely good breed
ers
Select tom that is near standard
size if you want to keep up the size
of your flock. Standard weigh for a
Bronze yearling cock is 80 pounds,
and for cokerel rs pounds.
1t is particularly important that the
breeding birds be unrelated. Some
authorities say constant Inbreeding is
the cause of the prevalence of black
head and the consequent destruction
of the industry in many parts of the
east. Inbreeding weakens the vitality
of the stock and makes it a prey to
disease Expert breeders never mate
turkeys that are in the slightest de
gree related.
