POTATO CULTURE METHODS
Mr.. Editor

MI. LullOT
You asked me some time ago to
write an article for your paper telling
your readers "How raised potatoes"
We're it not for the preparedness
propaganda that is agitating my coun-
try at this time and the worlds need
that all the food possible be produced
this coming season, and believing that
no other crop will give so much food
from the same acreage if well cared
for, this space in your paper might
never be used, for when it comes to
writing, 81 pray thee have me ex-
cused."
The most important thing is good
blowing. This applies to all crops, for
the harrow never can pulverize the
soil and make a good seed bed if not
well plowed, and the crop will be less.
We spread about twenty loads of

manure to the acre. II very strawy
we pillow IL under This. however
makes but little difference. Most OF
ours is spread on top and narrowed
in. When the ground is well fitted
then we are ready TO plant,
We soak our seed two hours in a
solution Of formalin, ! ID. formalin 10
30 gallons Of water, using an old sap
leach. Put the potatoes in gunny
sacks, / bushel in bag and soak four
bushels at time. After soaking two
hours take them out and put four
bushels more in. Lay boards over the
top of the leach and then drain. This
saves the dip.
In cutting be sure to have one good
eye on each piece. A common sized
potato should make from four to six
or more hills.
We use planter that covers the
seed with disks, leaving ridge. This
is not material. If dropped by hand
covered with horse hoe and then roll
lengthwise Of the rows. This leaves
the rows SO they can be seen.
In ten days or so we spread mix
ture of hen manure, wood ashes and
plaster by hand on top Of the rows,
then cover with the horseshoe. The
ashes give us the potash that we need
and cannot buy in phosphates. The
ashes are not in direct contact with
the seed, which would be liable to
make them scabby. We also use Nova
Scotia plaster, either mixed with phos-
phate or hen manure or straight in the
planter, at the rate Of 400 or 500 to
The acre.
A few days after covering the ashes,
we go over the rows lengthwise with
, weeder. This breaks the crust on
,op of the hills, kills the weeds and
gives the plants chance to show
themselves.
When half of the plants have broken
he ground the horseshoe is used and
he plants covered up. A few days
alter the weeder is used, or 4 harrow.
When the plants come through the sec
md time they are stalky and vigor-
us. Now use the cultivator between
he rows and the horseshoe, keeping
he ground pulverized as long as the
ops will let you. A crop of weeds and
crop of anything else can't be raised
n the same ground the same year, so
onstant cultivation will kill the
,eeds, conserve the moisture, as will
lso the plaster.
When the potato bugs need killing
Sc Bordeaux mixture, lbs. of lime
nd a lbs. of blue vitriol to so gallons

Have planted as late as June 16 and
aised 300 bushels to the acre. We
xpect yield that will give 500 an
ere over and above the cost of phos-
hate and it has been good many
ears since our crop has brought us
IS. This year we shall use sulphate
{ lime (plaster) exclusively in the
anter. This with manure and ashes
ill assure us a good yield.
The largest crop we have raised on
fairly large acreage for this section
as 1900 bushels of salable potatoes
ON eight acres. Delaware potatoes
re the kind we grow and as to quail
y they can't be beaten.
