THE, UNION DRY GOODS COMPANY

New Jersey and New England, the
Green Mountain is leader. In Mary
land, Virginia and southwark along the
Atlantic coast, the old Mccormick is
king of the late varieties becauseit IS
sure cropper," although of inferior
quality. There are two kinds, the true
Mccormick with flesh colored skin and
deep pink eyes and the other the white
Mccormick The latter is considered
the best.
In Wisconsin, Michigan. northern
New York and New England, where
there is no early crop of any conse-
quence, the standard crop of potatoes
should be planted from May 20 30
June or 10, but no later. In the belt
north of Washington, d. C., and the
Ohio river and south of the region in
dicated above, late potatoes should be
planted from June 5 to July l. On Long
island and in New Jersey, Maryland
and Virginia. Mccormick may often be
planted as late as July Is OF 20 and
make a fair crop. II has been found
beet to plant fairly early and give the
potatoes plenty OF time to ripen as this
improves the flavor The quality Of
Green Mountain is better than that Of
Mccormick but it is not SO sure
cropper in the southern territory.
In the southwestern states, Triumph
and Cobbler are grown both as an early
and late crop, the medium size. early
grown potatoes being spread IN the
shade and allowed to become green or
sprouted. then planted as late seed.

PLANT MORE POTATOES.
Department of Agriculture Advises
Home Gardeners What to Plant.

If you have any garden space TO
spare by all means plant some of 1t to
potatoes. This is the advice of the
United States department of agricul-
ture to gardeners who want to avoid
the high prices for potatoes which seem
to be in prospect for next fall. The
early crop of potatoes in the southern
states is now well advanced and soon
there will be supply of new potatoes
on all the markets. These will last
but short time, however, and can not
be depended upon for use next win
ter. The late or main crop produces
most of the potatoes that go into stor-
age and supplies markets all through
the winter months. Home gardeners
can help TO make this supply adequate.
Much Land Available.
Land that is now in early garden
crops, in some sections may be planted
TO late potatoes after these crops have
been removed. Any vacant or unused
land. even though it may be a little
rough and difficult to handle, may
often be made to produce good pota-
toes. Even the backyard will help to
produce the "spuds" for the family
table if it is not too shady. There is
likely TO be much unused farming land
this year and groups Of city men could
well afford to plant this land to pota-
toes on share basis.
Seed potatoes are scarce and high IN
price, but a bushel of seed will plant
one tenth acre and should produce u
TO 20 bushels of potatoes, or a winter
supply for family of five. Cut the
seed potatoes, as they are planted. to
a single good eye or two eyes If the
tubers are not large, First pillow or
spade the ground and pulverize it, then
Law off the rows three feet apart. If the
land is not rich-and most vacant
land il not-scatter 100 pounds Of good
grade fertilizer over the tenth acre or,
better. apply il in the rows and mix
we'll with the soil before planting the
potatoes. Open the rows four or tive
inches deep with hoe or hand pillow
and drop the seed. one piece IN hill
Ii inches apart in the rows, then cover
with loose soil to h depth OF four or
five inches. Don't wait for the plants
to come up before giving the surface
a good raking or to keep the ground
loose and mellow.
