THIS was worked out about three years
ago by the Iowa experiment station ct
Ames, where corn was planted It
depths varying from one to zig inches.
The results were something Of a sur

gus to spoil the operation. If there are
any sprouts these must be cut off close
without wounding the potato.
The potatoes washed and freed from
sprouts are half buried in the soil in
rows four inches apart. Inspect occa-
sionally and cut Off any sprouts that
appear. In two or three weeks each
potato will be crowded with white
points. changing a few days later into
little white potatoes that grow rapidly.
When large enough the new potatoes
are removed. leaving the parent pota-
toes to continue bearing. Several weeks
after the first crop a second crop will
be ready. followed by-a third. and So
on until the parent potato Is completely
exhausted, only the skin remaining
No water will be required. All
sprouts If they appear must be cut Off
carefully without inJuring the parent
potato. The new potatoes are said TOT
be firm and solid. Of good flavor. with,
thin skins. /.
This system has an advantage over
cultivation in the garden inasmuch as
there is no deep planting. hoeing, weed,

Early in the season shallow planting
is absolutely necessary. Very early in
the planting time the ground is warm
ed to. a very shallow depth. For pos
sibly two inches the soil has been
warmed to a degree that will make
termination possible. Deeper than this
there are. the. cold and the .clammi-

two weeks.
The seed must be brought in contact
with the moisture, though the water
can be brought up by working the soil
about as effectively as we can bring
moisture and seed together by deep
planting. If you know you have done
poor job of blowing and have a poor
seed bed it will be best to plant deeply.
r Three things are always necessary
for the termination of corn. These are
warmth, air and water. Warmth and
air are easiest to get near the soil sur
face, and in the average spring there
will be plenty of moisture near the top
Of the soil. That is why shallow plant
ing makes the best showing.

Novel Way Of Growing Potatoes.

Some gardeners in Denmark grow
potatoes without taking any garden
space whatever and grow them in con-
siderably> less time than. it takes to
produce crop in the garden.
The starting place is an absolutely
dark place in a cellar, where not sin
gle ray of light enters and where there
is no ventilation. Such a place is diff
fcult to make use of. and this system
Of growing potatoes will prove interest
ing to all having a dark corner Of the
kind. 80 -
A table of the desired size, dry earth
to cover the top to depth Of two or
three inches and seed potatoes are all
that will be required. q
The earth can be dug up from the
garden and laid in warm place in the
cellar until it has thawed and dried
out Cover, the table top with this to
a depth Of from two to three inches
and on this place the potatoes.
Use perfect potatoes for seed, free
from rot or disease. Wash them thor

them carefully with cloth, as there
