Grow Two Potato Crops

The Potato Association Is urg-
ing greater attention to this i'm
portant crop. The Ohio Expert
ment Station suggests the growing
of two potato crops this year by
planting a late crop after clover is
cut or Strawberries are picked, US
ing sun-sprouted seed. At the Ex-
neriment Station such seed planted
June 3Oth yielded nearly twice as
much as ordinary cellar-stored po-
tatoes planted on the same date
The Potato Association is pro-
noting the use of various means
to preserve our excess production
in dry form so that the potatoes
may be stroed and carried over Tor
wears, if necessary, as patrlotlc
measure.
