EARLY POTATOES
VERY IMPORTANT
Some Essential Points in Grow
ing That Average Gardener
Is Apt to Overlook.
FOOD SUPPLY MUST Be READY
Good, Plump, Dlsease-Free Seed and
Plenty Of Fertilizer Are Essential
Keep Bugs of by Dust
ing or Spraying.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Irish potatoes are grown in most
home gardens, but there are just a
few points in the potato-growing game
that the home gardener is likely 20
overlook which are very important.
First of all, potatoes grow quickly, and
their food supply must be all ready
and waiting for them In the soil. Sec
ond. they are heavy feeders and want
plenty to draw upon. In other words,
the soil for Irish potatoes must not
only be rich but Il must be rich in
plant food Of certain kinds. Land that
was well MANFRED the previous sea-
son, and which contains plenty OF or
ganic matter is best The first step
In preparing the soil will be to spade
or pillow 1t in to depth of eight or
nine inches, then break up the clods
II there be any, and pulverize the soil
practically as deep as it is spaded or
pl0wed.
How to Use Fertilizer.
Common fertilizers give good re-
suits for growing potatoes, especially
If the fertilizer contains potash, as po-
tatoes require more potash than Is
usually present In the soil. Fertilizer
manufacturers mix special brands for
potatoes, and these are generally rath-
err rich in potash. How much fertil-
izer to use will depend upon the fertil-
fly Of the soil, but as rule eight
pounds to each 100 feet of row will
he about right. A good way to ap-
ply the fertilizer is to make the holes
or burrows and drop the pieces Of seed
potato, cover them with an inch or
two of soil, then scatter the fertilizer
along the row so that II will become
well mixed with the soil in completing
the covering of the seed. Another
method is to scatter the fertilizer in
the furrow and mix it with the soil be-
fore dropping the pieces of seed po-
tato.
Best Kind of Seed.
Small, shriveled potatoes, left In the
bottom Of the barrel at the end of win
ter, are not fit for seed. Only plump,
disease-free potatoes. on which the
sprouts are beginning to start, should
be used for seed. Seed grown in
Maine. New York, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, or some other special seed produc-
ing section will as a rule give best re-
suits. Seedsmen get the seed potatoes

ROOM FOR YOUNGER CRITICS
They Have Place in the World and
Duty That Is Well Worth
Performing.

The younger critics, says Haywood
Broun, are the lineal descendants of
that little child In Anderson's fury
tale who, when the emperor was be-
ing made spectacle of and all the
world was being fooled by the sharp
tailor, refused to be quiet and cried
out. HE hasn't got anything on" These
young enthusiasts who have no posi-
tions to lose and no dignities to live
up to go about pointing to all our
literary emperors and calling attention
to the seantiness of their attire of
greatness, and refuse to be silenced
by their scandalized or terrified elders.
Good sense bids us welcome their hon
est gaze at even the saerosanct per-
sons. 1t can't hurt anything really
fine, and it's about time we came out
of some of our illusions. William Al
len White sized 1t up about right from
the conservative point of view when
he said in praislng Main Street.: "Of
course, I'm on the other side Of the
street myself, but that's just the rea-
son why like this book. It gives us
fellows something to answer"

REALLY FLOWERS OF SPEECH
Sayings, Witty and Wise, That Are
Worth Being Preserved in

Professor Sir Arthur QuIller-Couch,
In the course of his lively lectures
"On the Art of Reading" gives some
examples OF Irish peasants sayings
with the large simplicity, the cadence,
the accent Of Scriptural speech. The
best is the benediction bestowed upon
one of the two authors of the incom-
parable Irish II. NJ" by an old wom-
an in Skibbereen: "Sure ye're always
laughing That We may laugh In the
sight Of the Glory of Heaven p The
writer once thought of making an an

in 1t some far-traveled sayings, such
as that of the freighter in the alkaline
districts of Alberta, who said, point

BUSH VELVET BEAN FAVORED
Particularly Useful With Corn as It
Does Not Make Harvesting a
Difficult Problem.

Reports from 400 cooperators of tl..,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture who tested bush velvet bean in
1920 for the first time are highly
eommendatory. Three-fourths of
those reporting consider the bean
market success, and over half of them
believe 1t to be superior TO any other
variety, everything taken into con-
sideration. Two uses of the bean
meet with particularly enthusiastic
praise. First, is its use in corn,
where its nontwining habit is very
desirable, as it does not pull the corn
down and make harvesting difficult.
as do the twining varieties. Second,
II is found ideal as cover and green
manure crop in citrus orchards, being
far superior for this purpose to any
other legume yet found. Its use
should considerably reduce the fer
tilizer bill for citrus orchards.
