IRISH POTATO IS
GOOD MONEY CROP
Present Yield Is Entirely Too Low
Caused BY Insects and Improper
Selection of seed,
BY ". II. Wicks, College OF Agricul-
ture. Fayetteville. Ark.

BY ". II. Wicks, College OF Agricul-
ure, Fayetteville. Ark
According TO the last annual census
there were grown in Arkansas 1900
600 bushels of Irish potatoes which
were produced approximately on To-
tai OF $4,000 acres or at the rate OF
sixty bushels per acre. This yield Is
entirely too low and is due to such
causes as improper selection OF seed,
planting diseased stock, improper cul-
tiyation and use OF fertilizers, lack OF
fighting insect and disease pests, poor
grading and unsuccessful marketing.
+ Arkansas farmers can well AFFORD
to give the Irish potato serious con-
sderatiOn in making plans for the
year because it is attracting more at
tention in the Southern States each
year as a money making crop for the
| early market Assuming that one
/ third Of the entire yield of potatoes
/ in 1914 for Arkansas were culls, and
allowing so cents per bushel for the
remainder Of first-class marketable pO-
tatoes, the potato industry was worth
+ 10 the State Of Arkansas in 1914 the
sum of SSOO,00O.
The States Of New York, Maine and
Wisconsin, for example, have become
widely known through their potato
bar 81 pt
an entirely different field in the pro-
duction Of Irish potatoes and We
should turn our attention to the pro-
/ duction of early potatoes for market
/ which are good early in the year when
competition from the Northern potato
! growing sections will not be expeT-
fenced. All varieties are now classl-
fed according to the following ClasSi-
ficatiOn by Professor VIM. Stuart, HOr-
tiCulturist, U. S, Department Of Agri-
culture:
Group 1-CObbler
Group 2-Triumph.
Group 3-Early Michigan.
Group 4-ROse
Group 5-Early Ohio.
Group 6-Hebron.
/ Group Burbank.
Group Screen Mountain.
Group 9-Rural.
Group 10-Pearl.
Group 11-PeachblOW.
Group 12-Upto-date
The markets in the United States
/ demand the following varieties which
are given in order Of their import
ance:
One-Rural
TWO-Green Mountain.
Three-Early Ohio
! Four-Burbank
| Five-Irish Cobbler.
Six-Bliss Triumph.
Peerless (PearD.
For Southern growers, the early
maturing red-skinned varieties such
as Early Rose, Bliss Triumph, stray
Beauty Irish Cobbler, Green Noun
tain and Rural New Yorker are the
most highly desirable on account OF
their early maturity and the fact that
early markets are accustomed to as
sociate such characteristics of these
varieties with the early potato trade.
Bliss Triumph, Early Rose and Stray
Beauty are red varieties, while the
Irish Cobbler Green Mountain and
Rural New Yorker are white varieties.
There are number of varieties SUI
perior in many ways to the ones Just
named, but the only guide the grower
may safely use is to grow what his
market demands and the shortcOm.
ings Of the variety must be overcome
by the grower by practicing the best
cultural methods.

WHAT WILL JACK SAY?
BY ELLIS GRAY.

One other thing worried him besides
his head, 1t was the diamond ring

Then, seeing his eyes on her hand, she

Some day, perhaps. Don't you think

Bob got better. And Violet, one
dreary day. exchanged her white uni,

held dear for him.
For weeks Bob thought of every ex.

he always gave up in despair. There

NOVEMBER l6IS
ARBORDAY DATE
SET BY PINKHAM

Gov. Pinkham today designated Fri
day, November 10, as Arbor Day for
Hawaii, issuing a proclamation IN
which all the schools Of the territory
and that the day be devoted 20 the
planting of trees and shrubs. The proc
lamation follows:
The practise, now widespread on
the mainland, of setting aside one
day each year as Arbor Day, began in
Hawaii L. years ago. Since then,
here as well as elsewhere. the larger
development of all natural resources,
OF which Arbor Day represents only
one phase, has made great progress.
Eight years ago, in consequence or
the quickening OF the public con-
science and interest in these matters
and the practical results therefrom
in the inauguration and extension of
active work along these lines, the
scope of the day was enlarged.
Accordingly, / hereby designate
Friday. the 18th day of November, A.
D. 1917, as Arbor and Conservation
Day for the territory Of Hawaii, and
recommend that on that day appro-
pirate exercises be held in all the
schools of the territory and that a
part of the day be devoted to the
planting of trees and shrubs.
Given under my hand and the
great seal of the territory Of Hawaii,
at the capitol, in Honolulu, this 10th
day of October, A. d. 1917.
