PLANT sPUDs ON DRY LAND
Method Is About Same as With Corn
Have Seed In Rows Three Feet,
Six Inches Apart.

The method OF planting is usually
about the same as that for corn. The
whole seed is placed about twenty
inches apart in the row and the rows
three feet six inches apart. They are
covered to depth OF from two and
one-half TO four inches The rows are
narrowed crosswise after planting and
this narrowing or tickling is kept up
for ten days or So or until the plants
are too large. then the cultivator ID
used the remainder OF the season. The
purpose Of this narrowing and cultiya-
ton is TO prevent the evaporation OF
moisture and to destroy the weeds
Some farmers advocate the cultivating
every ten days, or as often as the con-
dition of the soil permits. In our dry
land region the surface OF the soil
should never become crusted.

always produce favorable crop. How.
