IRISH POTATOES 



CUIiTUItE. — Potatoes thrive and produce best in a light, dry, but rich soil. Cotton- 

 seed meal, raw bone or any other fertilizer should be used to make the ground rich 

 enough. If the ground was planted the Fall previous with cow peas, which are plowed 

 under, it will be in good condition for Potatoes. Good size tubers should be selected 

 for planting, which can be cut in pieces not too small; each piece ought to contain at 

 least three eyes. Matures in 85 to 100 days. Plants in drills from two to three feet 

 apart. Corona Dry is particularly efficient in the control of the ordinary potato bug. 

 Dust the potato plants with Corona when they are 6 to 8 inches high. Repeat when 

 necessary or at intervals of two weeks for the rest of the season. Planted from January 

 to April, 10 bushels per acre.

FORMULA FOR SCALY i 



POTATOES. 



One pint of formaldehyde to 30 gallons 

 of water, soaking the seed potatoes in the 

 solution two hours before planting, allow- 

 ing them to dry thoroughly before cutting. 

 As the formaldehyde solution does not 

 lose its strength, keep on using the same 

 solution as long as there are potatoes to 

 be planted. This is very effective.
