Hereafter during the ten weeks of u.

STARTING
EARLY
POTATOES

A subscriber sends the following
communication:
Is there any practical way Of sprout
ing early potatoes in the cellar and
transplanting to the garden so as to
secure a gain of ten days in time of
maturity? A gain of week means
money. A friend-an old man-tells
me that he used to do this. He says
start in February, and have them
ready to bloom when put out doors.
If can do this want to try it on a
large scale, for early potatoes will
pay next June.
What you propose has often been
done successfully in a small way, and
we can see nothing to hinder doing it
upon large scale-provided you can
furnish the conditions upon which sue
cess depends But right there's the
rub.
A dark cellar will not do, neither
, will a cold cellar do. Light and warm
| n are prime essentials. But potato
] plants will grow in a partial light bet
ter than they will in a low tempera-
! ture, and yet, plants so grown will not
be as strong and stocky as when grown
in full light
IF you have roomy basement with
full south windows, and furnace, and
room enough between the furnace and
windows for your beds, you can grow
good plants if you have a good soil,
and use plenty Of water.
In a bed say six by six feet you can
sprout a bushel of potatoes, cut to
I pieces of one eye each.
But bear in mind always that you
must plan for successful transplant
ing, and that the larger the plant the
more the diff dlty of moving it with
out injury. If soil is rich, plants need
not be crowded, and you still have
in a bed of the size named room for
about $4,000 plants.
! In view of the transplanting to
come, it is advisable to plant each
eye in a bottomless pasteboard box. If
you undertake it at all it will pay to
take all precautions. You will have
to settle the question for yourself
whether or not it will pay you to
undertake the job.
You may put it down as a settled
fact TO start with that unless you can
make right conditions, you are sure
to be disappointed.
A hotbed is a better place to start
potato plants than cellar can ever
be, and our advice is that you try
that rather than depend upon a base
ment. Six sash Of the usual size will
sprout bushel Of spuds.
In hotbed, you grow strong plants
with great certainty, and the trifing
cost of the bed should not be per-
mitted to discourage you.
/ By this method the tug Of war will
come after the plants are grown. You
will need suitable weather, and good
! judgment to transplant successfully.
Do not move them to the field pre-
maturely, and have them frosted, or
stunted by cold weather. In your
latitude you cannot be safe until May
18th. The. seed should be planted
seven weeks beforethe time Of re-
moval In transplanting you should
have wet, cloudy time for best re-
suits. Of course, you cannot control
the weather, and hot dry time just
then might make for failure.

Against this law Of international

which are no less than denial of his
right to rule. and his right to recDgni
