PLANT AN EARLY CROP
OF IRISH POTATOES

Vt - oG >
For a crop potatoes will have To
be planted in Arkansas as early as
possible in the season in order TO get
them out of the ground before the
summer heat or they wilh have to be
planted late in the season ar.er the
summer heat is past for a fall crop.
This necessitates the use of QUICK
maturing varieties ind so far the
Bliss Triumph Is still the standard
variety to use in raising a crop OF
early Irish potatoes. The Irish Cob
bier ranks next to the Bliss and then
comes the Early Ohio. There is one
variety, the Lookout Mountain, which
is lengthy season potato and yields
considerably heavier than the Bliss,
but 1t is not so good in quality and
of course only one crop of II can be
raisad. For this variety planting is
best done about the last of June. The
time from the first Of February until
the middle of April in the Ozark re-
gions.
Arkansas has been used as dump
ing ground for all kinds OF diseased
seed and potatoes infected with wilt
or dry rot. late and early blight, scab
and rhizoctonia have frequently been
sold to unsuspecting growers. We
should certainly either plant certified
seed or produce our own seed by
planting in the fall.

NORTH FAvORS THE

Nancy Hall Sweet Potato in Demand

The average annual production Of
sweet potatoes in the United States
is about 100000 bushels. Except
for comparatively small areas In Kan
sas. Iowa, Ohio, New Jersey and Del

potato growing. the production Is all

ly practically no sweet potatoes were
shipped North. The garden sweet po-
tato Of the North and the potatoes
produced in the Isolated districts al
ready mentioned ara OF the Jersey
type, which is dry ard mealy. Until
recently the Northern consumers
have demanded such potatoes. Now.
however, the North wants, and de-
mands Southern sweet potatoes Of
the Nancy Hall type. We must sup
ply this demand. To do so we must
increase our acreage and our yield
per acre. 1t is easy to do the form
er, and the latter, while not quite SO
easy will not be difficult
With rows four feet apart and
plants Is inches apart in the row.
1000 slips will plant an acre. A hot
bed and three bushels of good seed
will furnish the slips. Our average
production has been about 80 bushels
per acre. By using good seed. free
from disease. this yield can be
trebled
