YOUR OWN GARDEN.-HOW TO GROW POTATOES
ONE BIC. EAsY wAY rO cum TnE meH COsr OF LIVING.

The general rule Is that II the soil
Is very fertile larger seed pieces, haV.
ing more eyes may be planted, and
larger pieces should be planted about
three inches farther apart than small
ones.
In view OF the high price of pota-
toes a method Of obtaining seed po-
tatoes that might be made use Of. is
the following suggestion OF an Eng.
lishman, Frederick Kieble, director OF
the British Royal Horticultural Socl'
ETY. gardens;
"From each batch of potatoes
brought into the kitchen for cooking
cut off before peeling the rose end,
that is, the end where most eyes are.
Each piece should weigh not less than
one and one-half ounces. Properly
treated this piece if planted will pro-
duce a good plant and bear fair
crop.
"For this two things are necessary.
First. prevent shriveling and, second,
proper sprouting To prevent shrlvel-
ing dust over the cut surface of the
piece either a little powdered plaster
OF paris or dry slaked lime, or finely
powdered charcoal.
"For proper sprouting the piece may
be placed in q shallow box resting on
leaf mold or sand The box should be
kept in the window Of a cool but
frost-proof room BY planting time
each piece should have produced
sprouts from one-half to one inch in
length and may be planted in the same
way as seed potatoes
BUT BE CAREFUL NOT TO
BREAK OR BRUISE THE SPROUTS
IN HANDLING.
Badly diseased tubers, found while
cutting. should be discarded, to aid in
controlling underground diseases. In
case of slightly diseased tubers, the
affected part may be cut away, being
sure to remove enough to get rid OF
all diseased material.
The early varieties should be plant
ed about two inches deep; the late
about FIVE inches. Drop them about in
rows ~ inches apart. Later on, when
they come up you can begin killing
the ground around them. This gives
the tubers more underground space
especially is this necessary II your
subsoil Is heavy and hasn't been work.
