CULTURE.—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 were 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 95 to 140 days. Plant 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 Jan- 
uary to April.
