Potatoes in New Jersey 
1 THIS section of the country, where 
potatoes are produced principally for 
market, the American Giant is the most 
extensively grown, seeming to be especially 
well adapted to local conditions. It produces 
about one-third more than the round or 
Carman varieties, fields of from forty to 
sixty acres averaging 100 barrels to the acre. 
The best seed comes from Maine and ranges 
in price from seventy cents to one dollar a 
bushel, which is about ten or fifteen cents 
more a bushel than the average seed costs. 
As soon as the ground can be worked 
(which is about the last of March or the 
first of April) plow the ground from eight 
to ten inches deep and thoroughly harrow 
and reharrow until the soil is finely pulver- 
ized. Make the rows two feet nine inches ~ 
apart and open them with a furrowing sled 
to a depth of four or six inches. A high- 
grade fertilizer is applied at the rate of 1,000 
pounds to the acre, but if the soil is very 
poor, 1,500 pounds may be used. 
Cut the seed to single eyes and prepare 
it a week or ten days before planting time. — 
Spread it evenly on the barn floor about six 
inches deep, and the germinating power will 
be greatly increased if the sun shines upon 
it. Dropping seed, fertilizing, and covering 
we do at one operation, the seed being placed 
from ten to thirteen inches apart in the row. 
Twelve bushels of seed are required for the 
to-inch planting, nine bushels for the 13-inch. 
Commence to cultivate as soon as the 
planting is finished. Use for this a two-horse 
cultivator which has a wide whiffletree, and 
run it down the middle of the rows so that 
the horses can walk each side of the row 
in which the cultivator runs. As the ground 
becomes somewhat packed from the wheels 
of the planter, weight the cultivator with 
fifty to seventy pounds in order to loosen the 
soil as deeply as it is plowed. In about 
ten days or two weeks, use a slanting toothed 
harrow to kill the weeds and to level the 
rows; from that time onward cultivate but 
once a week. 
Potato bugs are killed by dusting the vines 
with Paris green, using for the purpose a 
powder gun that will cover two rows at once. 
If the potatoes are to be planted on the same 
land for several years, sow a crop of crimson 
clover or wheat after the potatoes are dug 
in September. This can be plowed under 
the following April and will serve as a 
fertilizer. We usually do our digging in 
the afternoon.
