EARLY POTATOES.

Potatoes can be procured from two
to three weeks earlier than normal by
placing the seed potatoes in full san
light about a month earlier than it is
customary to plant potatoes. This
would be about the middle of April.
These potatoes will then produce short
thick dark green sprouts that are very
tough. At planting time each seed
piece should contain at least on. Of
these clusters Of buds. The pieces
should be planted carefully with the
buds upward. twill require only
half the time Of less for plants to
come to the surface Of the soil from
sun sprouted seed than from dormant
seed potatoes. THE potatoes will
thereby be able to make = very good
growth during the cool part Of the
year before the excessive heat Of the
summer. Potatoes which sprout ii
the cellar produce long white tender
sprouts and should not be used for
seed purposes as they will give poor
results. Potatoes of ansearly varsity
like Irish Cobbler and Early Ohio
should be used to secure best results
