How to Use Fertilizer.


Common Fertilizers give good re-
suits for growing POTATOES. especially
if the fertilizer contains potash. us 30
tatoeS require more potash than j.
usually present i'm the soil Fertilizer
manufacturers mix special brands for
potatoes, and these are generally rath-
er rich in potash. How much fcrtil-
iZer 10 use will depend upon the fertil-
ity of the soil, but as rule eight
pounds to each 100 feet of row will
be 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 IL 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 10 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 rule give best re-
suits. Seedsmen get the seed potatoes
