NOTES on MANAGEMENT OF IRIST
POTATOES.

how to cultivate them.
The time of planting second crop
Irish potatoes will vary somewhat with
the elevation at which you are eperat-
ing. If you are on ridge land earlier
planting will be necessary than on bot
tom or low land We would think 1t
advisable for you to plant second crop
potatoes in your section about the mid
die of July The only difficulty in pro-
ducing second crop potatoes is to Sc
cure a stand This is often diff
cult further south than you are To-
Gated on account of the dry weather
which frequently prevails at the season
of the year indicated and by reason of
the hog weather which sometimes pre-
vents the potatoes from terminating
satisfactorily.
Situated as you are, we would pre-
pare the ground as thoroughly as pos
sible and as soon as the wheat has been
harvested. good coating of compost
or yard manure would not be objection
able. An application Of 500 pounds OF
acid phosphate would also be good prac-
tice. The fertilizer may be broadcast
ed. We would pillow the wheat stubble
under and roll and compact the land sc
as to bring the moisture quickly to the
surface and provide a firm, friable seed
bed. AS soon as there is a good season
in the ground lay off rows about feet
apart and to depth of inches. Plant
rather small uncut potatoes. covering
them to a depth of about 10 inches, by
means of a double shovel pillow. AS soon
as the potatoes start to terminate rake
off the top of the ground with a har-
row. Cultivate so as to maintain dust
mulch. You may plant the Red Bliss
or Lookout Mountain potato. We have
used seed from the first crop of Irish
Cobbler with very good success. Your
problem is to hold moisture and secure
a rapid termination of the seed. II
you succeed in this and spray the pota-
toes so as to hold the blight and bugs
in check, you should not have diff

simply scared to death" for fear she
would not make good. She looked
bright enough, but it was evident
that the fear of herself and her job
was making her most miserable. She
made all sorts of mistakes and
seemed about to collapse. I felt so

I could do to make her feel at ease.

but it meant a lot to her. She had for

Homelitics are not so much in place

today as never before for the discus

today and American literature is
purer than that OF the older English
