~ Perhaps you know them better as
white potatoes,
They will grow we'll in any soil,
provided it is we'll drained. But Ger
rain varieties are better suited to GER
tain soil, and it pays TO find out which
does best in your own particular To-
cality and then stick to it. Only the
early potatoes belong in the garden.
The main crop should be grown by
themselves in farm fashion to produce
the most at the least expense.
Early white potatoes should be
planted Just as soon as the ground can
be worked, and special fertilizers
should be incorporated into the furrOws
where the sets are planted. The fur
rows should be six inches deep and
three feet apart.
The seed potatoes should be cut a
few days in advance Of planting to
prevent their becoming ca'lous. Dust
