THIN "SPROUTED" SHOOTS
Soil Must Be Moist for Successful
Thinning of Weak Potato Plants
Work Carefully.

Potatoes that have been "sprouted"
will send up more shoots than those
that have not. In this way we some
times get more plants per hill than
we like, resulting in most cases in
partially overcome by thinning, pull
ing out some of the weakest plants
In the hill, but the ground must be
very moist for successful thinning,
and the work must be carefully done,
and that before the plants get too

WAY OF ERAD!CATING WEEDS
Two Sharp Blades Attached to Wheel
Hoe and Run Close to Plants
Is Quite Satisfactory.

Attach the two weed blades to the
wheel hoe, keep them sharp and run
them close to the rows of young
plants, which gets nearly all the
weeds.
Do this as soon as you can see the
rows, and every 10 days thereafter,
and it becomes a simple matter to
keep ahead of the weeds.
