Good Seed Potatoes
For More Potatoes

The average production per acre
of potatoes in the United States is
very much lower than in Canada.
Great Britain, and European coun-
tries, outside of Italy.
One of the reasons for the lower
production in the United States is
that less attention has been given
to the character of the seed. Good
seed is one of the determining fac
tors in the production of maximum
crops of potatoes.
The use of high-grade seed would
increase the returns from the po-
tato crop of the country by many
millions of dollars.
The production of high-grade seed
should be regarded as a special BUSH
ness.
Good strains of seed may be OBJ
tanned by the tuber-unit hill, or
mass-selection methods through the
process of roguing out the diseased
and weak hills.
When tubers from diseased or
weak plants are planted, a similar
harvest will be reaped.
Only seed from productive plants
should be used.
Careful attention should be given
to securing seed that is free from
varietal mixture and that is true to
type. ....
Good seed can not be produced I'M
less the growing plants are given
good cultural attention.
AS a, rule the quantity of seed
used is not sufficient to produce a
maximum crop.
From fifteen to eighteen bushels
of seed should, be used per acre in
stead of nine to eleven, as at the
present time.
All seed stock should be disin-
fected before planting.
Good storage conditions are es-
sential to insure sound, firm seed
at planting time.
These points are discussed in de-
tail in the United States department
of agriculture's farmers bulletin
533, Good Seed Potatoes and How
to Produce Them" which was recent
ly revised and will be sent free on
request.
Mobile County Markets Wool
Over sixteen thousand dollars
were transferred into the pockets Of
wool growers of Mobile county, Ala
grown wool was sold comparatively
at Chronicle. The sale was worked
up by Farm Demonstration Agent
w. c. McVail and about four grow
ers were represented in the ship
ment. A price of So cents per pound
was obtained due to the wide pub
Lefty given the sale, which attracted
outside bids. Small lots of wool
had been sold in the county sepa-
rately during the past week for three
to five cents less per pound. 1t was
estimated that a clear saving of
100000 was made through marketing
the wool comparatively
All Of the producers were gratiffed
with the returns and it is probable
that a County Wool Growers asso-
citation will be formed not only to
conduct further wool sales, but also
to bring in blooded rams. w. D..
Barton, district agent, and M. T.
Pearson, marketing specialist, both
from the Alabama extension serv-
ice, were present and aided in car
rying on the sale.

HOW TO PROPAGATE

Take small pieces of craps vines
about pruning time During fall and

When they are about two years old
they are ready to plant to the vine

In the winter, plant small pieces

HOW TO CUT, PLANT, AND
y SPRAY IRISH POTATOES

Irish potatoes should be cut so
that the eyes will have plenty of
food. When the eyes have plenty of
food they will not die. They should
be planted in rows and packed as
soon as they are planted. When
they are planted in rows they can
be cultivated and will make a great
Ter yield than those that are not Gull
|tivated. When the bugs get on the
potatoes, spray them with arsenate
|of lead or lead spray mixture.

HTrompe."


The old French word 'ttrompeR
meant a pipe or tuba, and the term
trompe was applied to the apparatus
by which the blast is produced in the
Catalan forge. It Is simple, effec-
tive and ingenious contrivance for
producing a continuous and equable
blast, but its use is restricted, to lo-
calities where fall of water from a
height of several yards can be OBJ
tanned. The principle is that water
. can be made to fall through a pipe
! in such way that 1t will draw in
through side openings a considerable
; amount Of air, which by simple and
ingenious arrangement can be utilized
as constant current or blast, and
which has the merit of costing almost
nothing. 1t has been utilized to a linn
tied extent elsewhere than in the de.
partment Of Ariege, In the South OF
France, where it was formerly very
generally employed. Iron has been
made in that district for more than
600 years, but the use of the trompe
blast was not introduced until the end
Of the seventeenth century.

Waxing Wooden Dishes.

If wooden dishes are to be waxed
to render them impervious, they should
be made of good quality of pine or
deal with an even grain, and the inside
should be sandpapered quite smooth!
Then, says Camera Craft" while the
dish is being made thoroughly warm,
to just little short Of the scorching
point, using an ordinary kitchen oven,
the wax should be melted and heated
in a water bath on top Of the fire.
With both the dish and the wax as
hot as can be conveniently handled, the
coating is applied with a brush that
Is not too stiff, as evenly as possible,
working in warm atmosphere. When
the fire has gone out the dish may be
put back in the oven, so that the wood
will absorb more of the wax than it
otherwise would, leaving it there until
the next morning. With little prac-
tice one is able to make a workmanlike
job; and such dishes, particularly for
large sizes, make a great saving in e1
peDse.
