The schedule for the tour in each
county will be arranged by the

About Growing
Potatoes

n ETURNS at the time of harvest
K ing from the potato field are
usually in proportion to what
was planted, how it has been plant
ed, and the way in which it has been
handled, say men of the horticultural
department of Montana State college.
Roughly speaking, the following
points should be observed in the po-
tato field for this season of the year,
or any other season:
First, select a good fertile field
in which to plant. If alfalfa or clover
or any other leguminous crop has
been grown the preceding season, so
much the better. Potatoes demand
good fertile ground in order to pro-
duce heavy yields.
Second, deep blowing should be
practiced. Shallow blowing, combin-
ed with generally poor preparation
of the ground, is responsible for
much of the sunburn, and many of
the ill-shapen potatoes.
Third, plant good seed. Montana
has plenty of good seed stock, but
we must say that in spite of that fact,
many growers each year are putting

EASTERN MONTANA FARMERS
ARE URGED TO PLANT FLAX

consult the county agent, or an ex-
perienced flax grower, in choosing
seed. The seed should be treated,
and here again the ever-popular
county agent can give the desired in
formation. The work should be
planned so that flax planting, plow-
ing and packing can be done pretty
much in one operation. Then this
combination of proper planting, with
the right kind of seed on the right
kind of land, will meet growing
demand for flax that is being reflect
ed in a steady attractive price"
