by convict labor. The petition has been
on file for some time. The object is to

State Agricultural Notes.

Reports from crop correspond
ents of the Department of Agri-
culture show that the condition of
the wheat in the south western
counties is the best in the State.
Washington, Westmoreland and
Somerset counties report wheat
above normal condition and Fay
cite county wheat is above the
average. The Greene and Bed
ford county wheat is only slight
ly below average.
How many bushels of corn
must you raise on your land in
order to pay six per cent. on the
money you nave invested? Ex-
perts have answered this ques-
tion as follows: A yield of sc
bushels to an acre on $50 land;
AZ bushels per acre on $100 land;
60 bushels per acre on $3.50 land
and 72 bushels per acre on land
valued at 1915 per acre.
The counties in which COM
mercial fertilizers are used most
extensively in Pennsylvonia are;
Carbon, Chester, Columbia, Della
ware, Franklin, Lehigh, North
ampton, Philadelphia, and York.
Statistics of the Department of
Agriculture show that there are
fifty per cent. less farmers in the
State fattening steers for spring
market than a year ago. Only
five per cent. of the farmers of
the State are feeding for the
spring market.
WestmoreIand county ranks
first in the number of pure bred
stations in the State and Tioga
county has the largest number
of pure bred bulls.
Statistics of the Department
of Agriculture show seventy
eight per cent. of the farmers
of the State using commercial
fertilizers. This is a ten per cent
decrease over a year ago and is
probably due to the increasd cost
Of fertilizers, lack of potash,
home mixing and an increased

In certain sec tions of Tennessee, Kentucky and Nir- ginia considerable acreages are plant ed to this variety late in the season and harvested in the fall and placed Tn cold storage where the seed are held in a dormant condition until the following summer when they are taken out and planted during July and the first part of August.

The Fall Crop of Irish Potatoes.

The Fall Crop of Irish Potatoes.
 Many of our farmers are asking for information relative to the growing of the second, or fall, crop of Irish potatoes, and as the time is drawing near for the planting, or the prepara- tion for planting of this crop, per haps few hints concerning the best methods to be followed will not be amiss at this time.
 The writer has had nearly twenty years of experience with the potato crop, and during this time he has eX- perimented with the fall crop, under many and varied conditions, and for the past nine years, in succession, he has not failed to grow a fairly satis- factory crop of fall potatoes, hence, he believes that he is qualified, from the standpoint of knowledge, observa- tion and experience, to give advice with respect to the growing of this crop, although every one may not agree with him regarding every de- tail. What we propose to do in this letter is to outline briefly the most essential steps to insure a fair degree of success under ordinarily favorable conditions.
 Selection oi Ncil-Whereyor possi- ble. a naturally cool and moist soil should be selected, as the intense heat of the summer is the chief obstacle to growing a crop of potatoes success fully in the fall as they must be start ed some time before the end of sum mer. This, however, is not possible on every farm. The next best soil would be a good clay loam. A poor, loose, sandy soil should be avoided, as such soils become very hot and dry out rapidly, and will not produce a fall crop of potatoes unless the condi- tions are very favorable.
 Preparation of the Soil-The kind of crop that precedes, or come be- fore, the fall potatoes, will determine to T large extent, the time and man. ner of preparation, although We would like to emphasize the importance of having the soil in a fine state of filth some time in advance of planting. Under favorable conditions, land that has been in cantaloupes can be pre- pared for fall potatoes, but unless a good rain sufficient to thoroughly sat urate the ground should come, it is doubtful whether such land would costain sufficient moisture. X good, deep breaking and thorough har- rowing, or discing is the first thing necessary, and before this is done, it would pay to spread on a light coat ing of well routed manure, or the manure might be disced in after breaking. This initial preparation should be done just as soon as pos sible-at this time-without delay un- less you wish to risk waiting until after the cantaloupe crop is harvest ed The land should be broken and narrowed at least twice before plant ing
 Time of Planting.-From the first to the middle of August is about the proper time to plant in this section, but if the seed is well sprouted plant ing can be done later than this with hope of success, provided other condi- tions are favorable.
 Manner of Planting. When the land is thoroughly pulverized. rows should be laid out about 10 inches apart, using a large straight shovel blow, sufficient to run out a furrow
