Irish potatoes are grown In most
nome gardens, but there are just a
few points in the potato-growing game
that the home gardener is likely to
overlook which arc 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 1t must be rich In
plant food Of certain kinds. Land that
was well MANFRED the previous sea-
scn, and which contains plenty of or
gunic matter is best. The first step
in preparing the soil will be to spade
or pillow 1t in to a depth of eight or
nine inches, her break up the clods,
If there be any, and ~pulverize the soil
practically as deep as 1t is spaded or
plowed.

How to Use Fertilizer.

Common fertilizers give good re-
suits for growing potatoes, especially
II the fertilizer contains potash, rs 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-
lty of the soil, but as a rule eight
pounds to each 100 feet Of row will
be about right. A good way to APP
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 1t 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 1t with the soil be-
fore dropping the pieces Of seed po-
