rowed three times before they were well up, which with the harrowing given the ground 

 before planting, left the land pretty clean and cultivation with the horde hoe and two 

 sprayings with Bordeaux mixture, one on July 8, the other three weeks later, was all 

 the treatment given until they were dug. The yields in most cases are very fair and 

 the quality is excellent. There was no rot in any of the varieties. Four rows of one 

 hundred feet each were planted, and the yield calculated from the weight ohtaine<J 

 from sixty-six feet of the two centre rows. The seed used was in each case medium 

 sized, smooth potatoes cut in two strong eyes in each set. All were dug September 20 

 and 21.
