POTATO GROWING
HERE AND
ABROAD

Potato growers in England produce
on the average 375 bushels to the acre,
while the best growers produce up to
750 bushels, says the California Farmer.
in, the United States we average "a
bushels; Maine grows 220 bushels, Cal
ifornia produces from 120 to 140
bushels. Is California missing her op-
portunitv? Eugene Grubb, former po-
tato king Of Colorado, thinks so. Mr..
Grub has Il home at Princeton, in
Butte county, and has been on visit
to his brother, w. L. Grubb of Santa
Ana. Of California potato growers he
thinks a. j. Young of Huntington
Beach and Il. ID. MeSweeney of Ell Mon
te and Temecula among the leaders.
But he believes Southern California
ought to produce April and May spuds
for the So and So new-potato markets,
instead of July spuds for the 81
market.
Whole or Cut Seed?
1t comes back to the moot point of
whole seed Or cut seed. The English
growers plant small whole seed that has
been harvested immature or cut down
by frost. They lay it in trays and
sprout it in the dark, then toughcn the
sprouts by greening, and plant the
tubers whole. On late varieties they
gain six weeks time and a greater
yield. Mr.. Grubb tells of grower at
Escondido, Calf, in years past who
produced edible tubers in AZ DAYS and a
mature crop in 50 days by this method
He thinks there is great possibility
before California potato growers to re
peat this success and sell their crops
ON the high spring market, possibly
using oil heaters on frosty February
nights, If there are any, because Il po-
tato plant, once chilled, sends out new
branches and the formation of tubcrs is
delayed several weeks.
This method is to be tried out at
Pasadena Municipal Farm by Superin-
tendent Bert c. BOUCHER.
Mr.. Grubb says conditions are ideal
anywhere in the California foothills for
producing the right kind of seed. He
mentions particularly the Sebastopol
district and he says Mrs. Hilda Mel
sen of Sebastopol and her husband are
the most astute potato growers he
knows Of
Cutting Tubers Invites Disease
10 cut seed potatoes, Mr.. Grubb
avcrs, is to invite diseases of all sorts.

WHAT and HOW
TO FEED CHICKS

BY the use of preparatory grain and
mash foods, much of the worry of buy
ing the raw materials and compounding
one S own ration is removed; and in II
general way this is an advantage to the
larger operators. Nevertheless, there
are those who want to do their own
Mixing prefcrring to know. the char
acter and quality of the ingredients.
For the benefit of people so inclined
we submit the ration for chicks adopted
ut the Oregon experiment station. Be
ing situated on this coast, it is fair to
assume that it represents those foods
which are always in our markets.
Oregon Station Ration
Starting food: Bran mixed crumbly
VITA soft-boilcd egg; or stale e. bread
squeezed dry out of milk.
Grain mixture: One pound cracked
wheat, one pound cracked corn.
Mash mixture: Three pounds wheat
bran, one pound wheat middlings, or
shorts, one pound corn meal, pinch of
salt added when mixing.
First Feeding Time ga to SO hours of
age.)
First Week: Starting food twice a
day; grain mixture three times day
on clean sand; after two or three days,
grain in little water; clean water, grit,
charcoal, cracked bone, in separate
dishes; green food.
One. to Three Weeks: One feed a
day of moist mash, what they will clean
up in an hour; grain mixture in litter
two or three times "a day; grit, charcoal,
cracked bone, and beef scraps in hop
pcrs; water; green food.

But Southern California growers, hav
ing tried small, whole or ''drop' seed,
have returned to cut seed Now this,
Mr.. Grubb says, is because the small
mature potatoes sprout at every eye,
while the immature seed sends forth
only one sprOut at the seed end. An
other suggestion for keeping disease
ont of the potato field is to rake up
and burn all old vines, and in failure
to do this Mr.. Grubb finds California
growers extremely lax.
j. i. Olsen of Hollywood, for years
% grower of seed potatoes at Van Nuys,
tells us he has tried out the drop-seed
theory thoroughly and finds it will
work in Southern California in spring,
but not with the fall crop. He has tried
keeping over until August in cold stor
age whole, small seed potatoes, hill-se-
lected and harvested immature, but
such potatoes always sproutcd at severy
eye and returned a small yield. Mr..
Grubb is for mountain or fOothill grown
seed, but Mr.. Olsen's experience tends
to disprovc this theory, and Mr.
Boughcr is now planning to begin where
Mr.. Olsen left off and grow seed pOta-
totS dCtllIldtcu anu Suilcu 10 southern
California conditions.
Big Potato Yields
On his trip to Europe to study pota-
to-growing Mr.. Grubb found the grow
ers using more seed per acre than
American growers. California grow
ers use to 10 sacks as rule. Mr.
Gruob superintendended a planting at
Santa Cruz for f. o. Mccormick of the
Southern Pacific and c.. C. Moore, us
ing 5000 pounds, or nearly so sacks, of
seed to the acre, and harvesting $50
sacks, or 700 bushels. At Lake Forrest,
where it was said potatoes coudn t be
grown, Mr.. Grubb supcrintcndcd a
planting for j. Ogden Armour, planting
2SOo pounds of seed per. acre and grow.

ture; dry middlings in s; hopper, if
signs of diarrhOea appear; hopperfcd

After Six Weeks or on Range: Morn

be added to the grain mixture, if de-
sired; the proportion of wheat may be
increased or decreased as it becom es
lower or higher in price than corn.

also satisfy individual opinion. we here
with append the ration used by the On

. Starting food: Four pounds bread
crumbs, one pound hardboiled egg fed

Grain Mixture: Thirty pounds crack
ed wheat, thirty pounds granulated

Mash Mixture: Ten pounds wheat
bran, ten pounds shorts, ten pounds
corn meal, three pounds animal meal.
First Feeding Time GA to 48 Hours)
First Two Days: Starting food, fed
five times a day; luke=warm water to
drink.
After Two Days: Three feeds of
grain mixture, with one of bread and
milk, and one of whole wheat; or with
two feeds of moist mash ) fresh boiled
liver twice II week, if .obtainablc-in
that case, animal meal omitted from
the mash; for chicks on range with
the hens the grain mixture may be hop
per-fed.
After Eight Weeks: Moist mash in
the morning; grain noon and night, An
increase in the proportion of animal
food will hasten the development of
the chicks.
Chicks may be fed on different IA
tiOns quite successfully, but these two
afford quite a reliable "lead' as to
the accepted formulas in preparing
feed for growing stock. Among breed
crs and food manufacturers there may
be minor variations.

Holstein Organization

The Western Cooperative Holstein
Breeders Association, with headquar-
ters at Modesto, has recently been or
ganized by some of the leading Hol-
stein Friesian breeders of the Pacific
coast. The list of directors is as fol,

Willets and Henry Mccall of Prunc-
vile.
Ray c. Gruhlkc of Dixon, Solano
county, a breeder of Holstein-Fresians
and prominently identified with Farm
Bureau work for the past five years,
has been named field secretary, and as
sumcd active work March /. He is -
booster for the Blacks and Whites and
firm believer in the future prosperity
of the breed.
| The association has been founded on
strictly cooperative lines. Every mem
| Der, large or small, will have equa!
| voice in it's operation. One of the big
! features Of the association will be the
public sales which will be held from
time to time. All profits from these
sales will go to the association treas
ury and will be used to promote and
advertise the Holstein-F -Friesan breed.
The association will take an active
| interest in all dairy problems, will be
closely identified with Farm Bureau
dairy departments and will work
through them whenever possible to en-
courage calf clubs and purebred sires.
"The opportunities for the purebred
breed Of Holstein cattle in California
and on the Pacific Coast are un
limited,' says Mr.. Gruhlke. "Accur-
ate figures are difficult to obtain, but
it is estimated that there are less than
per cent registered dairy animals in
| California. In Stanislaus county alone,
the heart of the purebred dairy in
dustry, there are III the ncighborhood
of 1000 scrub bulls i'll service. The
elimination of these and the substitu-
ton of purebreds from even moderately
high producing dams would add over a
million dollars to the annual income
of this one county alone.
'This association has wide field,
and with the active support of the
breeders will undoubtedly make Hol-
stein history on the Pacific coast"
