DON'T PASS UP POTATOES.
Here's One Man Who Last Year Sold
$1,000 Worth From Ten Acres.

Last year sold $1,000 worth iof po
tatoes from ten acres says oscar
Rusch. Scott county. My crop in 1915
was not quite as good, but it brought
me within a few dollars of that
amount. In recent years the returns
nave never been less than s75 an
acre"
Rusch has ninety-tive acre farm,
worth in the neighborhood of $500 an
acre; at least that is what the eighty
acre farm next to his recently sold
for. So he feels that he has to get big
returns from his land. How does he
DO 1t?
We live FIVE miles ont of Daven-
port, and l can haul two loads a day,
selling direct to the grocery stores.
We find that we get the best late po-
tatoes Rurals, by planting late about
June /. We do not put potatoes on
the same ground oftener than once in
five years and get quite clean stock.
Some years back the trade tried to
talk the Minnesota potatoes, but they
have found that ours keep better"
Mr.. Rusch has promised to cooper
ate with the Scott county agent and
the extension crops man at Iowa State
College in boosting boys potato clubs
in his neighborhood, for he believes it
will pay the younger men on good land
TO grow this crop as he does.
One OF the good things about po-
tatoes is that the crop Of corn or grain
following Is a lot larger than after
other crops. This year my corn on
potato ground went fifteen bushels
more Der acre than on pt her good
ground and the difference will pay the
land rent, which is s.. to $40 here.
Usually wheat yields at least ten
bushels more on potato ground, also.
The fertility developed by cult.va-
tion and the fine root system Of the
potato plant probably account for the
Increased yield OF the following crop"
thinks Mr.. RuSch.
