How to Grow Second Crop OF
Irish Potatoes.

G. w. Strickland, proprietor @
the Corinth Nurseries, and man
ager of the Illinois Central T. K
demonstration farm in this county
and recognized as one Of the oes'
potato growers in this section
gives the following timely advice
on growing your second crop OF
Irish potatoes
There has been more talk and
less done alb out growing second
crop Irish potatoes than any other
one crop on the farm, but now
with potatoes two or three times
the regular price and a big war
on us, it is time to stop talk ana
do business. Three-fourths OF the
people will tell YOU they can't get
the second crop to come up, and
half of them will tell you they
planted the same land that they
raised their spring crop on or
sore other crop. If you want to
make a success every year you
must break your land deep in the
spring and keep it well disked and
narrowed so as to keep clean and
in good condition. although if you
have no other land to plant except
where you have grown your spring
crop, plant it and if it is seasona-
bic you may get a good crop.
Many people will tell you to- or
der Geld storage potatoes. If you
want to give away some of your
money, order a few and at the
same time plant some of the sec
ond crop Triumph and see which
will give you the best results.
The cold storage potatoes no doubt
will come up in few days, but in
this country they have proven to
make but very few potatoes. If /
were going to plant cold storage,
/ would not plant before the last
of August. l can givs the names
of half a dozen good farmers here
that have tested the cold storage
with our second crop Triumphs
raised in this country and find
that there is no comparison with
our home grown potatoes.
HOW AND WHEN TO PLANT.
After land has bsen thoroughly
stirred, narrowed. drug and lev
eled. lay off your rows about three
feet wide and double furrow, Drop
your potatoes and step on each
one as you drop them SO as to get
it in the bottom of the furrow and
in moist dirt. Cover very lightly
and work the dirt to them as they
come up. 1t is best to plant late
in the afternoon so the furrow will
not dry out before potatoes are
covered. Dig the potatoes from
two to three weeks before planting
and keep them in damp, cool
place, although | have dug and
planted same day and had good
success. Cut potatoes same as
you would for the spring crop.
Sprinkle we'll with lime or wood
ashes after potatoes have been cut
lime is best. Never try to pant
just before a rain. Try and plant
after the rain when there is a sea-
son in the ground. Fertilize same
as for spring crop.
Whatever you do, plant your
second crop on the best piece o.
land you have, and unless you car
get the kind of land you want
plant the best you can, and never
plant anything except second cror
Triumphs, and you will make Z
successful potato grower.
Plant from July Is to Angus
IS: from July 20 to August Is
is preferable. .-Corinthian.

National Defense News

New York. Feb. 1S-Two enormous
mine fields will assist in protecting
the port of New York in the event
of war with Germany.
They are said to be the most elab-
crate and intricate mine fields a ma
ton has ever devised. Foreign mill
tary experts. it is said by United
States army men, admit this nation
has the best harbor mine type in the
world.
The coast artillery corps and the
corps OF engineers have the mine
fields all completed save the last de-
tail. the actual laying OF the mines.
The big spheres, are now stored here
by the hundreds.
The mine fields which have been
plotted for the protection of New
York are off Sandy Hook-the out
post Of the more frequently used
southern gate to the city-and Off
Sands point. the northern entrance
by way of Long Island sound. The
extent of these fields has. for OBJ
vious reasons. been one of the artil-

permit the passage OF submarines
and light draught vessels. For the
coast defenders are determined that
not even a rowboat shall pass when
war closes the gates of New York.
