CULTIVATE POTATOES OFTE'.
Hoeinu Should Be Done Once a Week
for Six Weeks After Plants
Appear-kiii Bugs.

Potatoes must be hoed or cultivated
weeks after the plants appear. While
~cultivating. the soil should lie drawn
about the plants, forming hills to pro
tect the potatoes from the sun.
Potato bugs. old-fashioned hard
shells and their children, the soft
shells II slugs. are sure TO eat the
foliage of potatoes unless prevented
from doing so. The hard shell" bugs
that are first to appear can often be
picked off by hand and killed, but
about the only way to control the
young soft bugs or slugs is to poison
them. This can be done by spraying
or spriniling the potato leaves with
a mixture consisting of one ounce Of
arsenate of lead i'm one gallon OF wa
ter or the plants may be dus ed with
powdered lime to which paris green
has been added at the rate of one
ounce to four quarts OF lime. say spe-
cialists Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The dust should
be sifted over the plants during the
early morning while the dew is upon
the leaves. 1t will not be necessary
to dust or spray all the plants. but
only those where the bugs have start
ed. then go over the potatoes every
few days to see that the bugs have
not gotten 4 fresh start.

SWEET CLOVER BUILDS SOIL
BY Vigorous Growth and Decay OF
Large Roots Il Restores Humu5
in Large Quantities.

AS a soil builder sweet clover is in
a class by istelf. BY its vigorous
growth and the decay Of 1t large roots
it restores humus to the soil in large
quantities. II it is allowed to remain
and decay where it has grown, large
quantities Of plant food are made
available. Moreover, it is a legume
and can, therefore, take its nitrogen
from the air, thus adding an element
to the soil that Is very beneficial. Its
long fleshy roots penetrate the SUBJ
soil and bring food to the surface for
other plants to use, and, at the same
time, improve the soil texture.
