SEED POTATOES 



Culture. Potatoes thrive best in a sandy loam that contains plenty of vegetable matter; a clover sod or land 

 that was heavily manured for the previous crop supply ideal conditions. Cut the potatoes, leaving 

 two eyes to each piece, and plant 4 inches deep, 15 inches apart in 3-foot rows; cultivate frequently to keep down the 

 weeds and conserve moisture, for a shortage of moisture means a poor crop. Before the plants appear above ground, 

 run a light harrow over them to kill the early crop of weeds and break the crust. If fertilizer is used, apply it either 

 in the row or broadcast before the potatoes are planted, and be sure to work it into the soil so that it will not come 

 in contact with and burn the potatoes. Do not use fresh stable manure, as it means scabby potatoes. Continue culti- 

 vating till the plants attain full growth and the vines begin to spread.
