Culture. Any good well drained fibrous loam will produce Potatoes under right climatic conditions. For early Potatoes, 
which mature in 8 to 10 weeks from planting, the soil must be particularly rich. A rich clover sod, manured and broken the year 
before and planted to corn, beans, peas, oats, etc., is in best shape for giving a good yield of nice clean potatoes. Stable manure 
had better be applied tothe land the year before, while some good complete fertilizer, at the rate up to 1000 pounds per acre, if 
applied broadcast, or 400 to 600 pounds if applied mostly in the rows, may be used directlv for the Potato crop. Open furrows 3 
feet apartand 3 to 4inches deep. Apply the fertilizer, and run the furrower or small plow again in.tke furrow to mix the fertilizer 
with the soil and leave a mellow seedbed. Then plant good-sized pieces, each one containing not less than 2 or 3 eyes, 15 inches 
apart in the furrows for early potatoes, and 18 inches apart for late ones. In some of the large Potato sections the Potatoes are — 
alweys planted in check rows 3 feet apart each way. Cover with coverer, small plow or other suitable tool. Cultivate often. 
Spray with Bordeaux Arsenate of Lead Mixture as a protection from flea beetle, potato beetle and blight. 8 to 10 bushels will
