POTATOES Patatas, Sp. Kartojel, Ger. CULTURE. âAny good well drained fibrous loam will produce Potatoes under right climatic conditions. For early Potatoes, which mature in 8 to 10 weeks from planting, the soil must be particiilarly rich. A rich clover sod, manured and broken the year before and planted to corn, beans, peas, oats, etc., is in best shape for giving a good yield of nice clean Potatoes. Stable manure had better be applied to the land the year before, while some good complete fertilizer, at the rate up to 1000 pounds per acre, if applied broadcast, or 400 to 600 pounds if appUed mostly in the rows, may be used directly for the potato crop. Open furrows 3 feet apart and 3 to 4 inches deep. Apply the fertilizer, and run the furrower or small plow again in the furrow to mix the fertilizer with the soil and leave a meUow seedbed. Then plant good-sized pieces, each one containing not less than 2 or 3 eyes, 15 inches apart in the furrows for early potatoes, and 18 inches apart for late ones. In some potato-growing sections they always plant in check rows 3 feet apart each way. Cover with small plow or either suitable tool. Cultivate often. Spray with Bordeaux Arsenate of Lead Mixture as a protection from flea beetle, potato beetle and â blight. 8 to 10 bushels will plant an acre.
