IRISH POTATOES 
CULTURE.—Potatoes thrive and produce best in a light, dry, but rich soil. Cotton- 
seed meal, raw bone or any other fertilizer shouid 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. Arsenate of Lead in Powdered Form is particularly efficient in the control of the 
ordinary potato bug. Dust the potato plants with this Powder 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.

lose its strength, keep on using the same | 
solution as long as there are potatoes to | . 
be planted. This is very effective. Gem Seed Potato Cutter.
