HOW TO GROW POTATOES— You 
can grow Potatoes anywhere in good, rich, 
loose, well-drained soil if weather conditions 
are right. It requires 10 to 12 bushels 
(4 sacks) to plant an acre, which should pro- 
duce from 200 to 300 bushels. A Potat" 
can be cut in two, three, or four 
pieces and each piece should con- 
tain two or three eyes. Plant th^se 
pieces 15 inches apart in the rows. 
First work the soil thoroughly, 
make rows 2 to 3 feet apart for hand 
or horse cultivation; open a furrow 
4 inches deep in each row; then put 
in your fertilizer (mix thoroughly 
with the soil) and plant the pieces 
in these furrows. Cultivate often 
and spray every ten days or two 
weeks with Pyrox to kill the bugs 
and prevent blight. To plant a row 
100 feet long, 80 pieces are required.

POTATO SEEDS FROM SEED BALLS 
Potato seeds are curious and wonderful. The seed produces an amazing diversity of Potatoes. It may not be generally known 
that every seed will bring a different variety — eacli one more or less distinct from each other. Such is the case. The product of a 
packet of seeds will be a vast number of colors, shapes and sizes. Tlicrc will be wliitc. yellow, pink, red, blue, purple and black 
potatoes. There will be shades innumerable. Extraordinary freaks sometimes develop — such as a Potato having vines that run 
on the ground like a cucumber vine, the joints taking 
root and producing Potatoes at every joint, etc. 
Potato seeds grow as readily as tomato seeds. Plant 
them early in the spring; when they are 3 or 4 inches 
high, transplant 2 feet apart. 
It is not an uncommon thing for one 
seed to produce so to 150 perfect 
Potatoes the ii rs t
