HOOEKS  OX  POTATO  I  M PROVEM EXT. 
M nine’s  potato  wizard.  E.  A.  Rogers, 
in  char  go  of  the  State's  semi  improvement 
work,  has  some  very  definite  ideas  on  the 
crop,  based  on  many  years  of  raising 
bumper  yields  for  seed  anti  market. 
When  asked  why  Maine’s  average  crop  is 
so  far  above  t hut  of  Southern  New  Eng- 
laiig,  Mr.  Rogers  explains  it  in  part  by 
climate;  more  uniform  weather  condi¬ 
tions.  In  Southern  New  England  or 
Eastern  New  York  there  is  often  a 
drought  at;  just  the  wrong  place  in  the 
growing  season,  or  else  so  much  hot, 
damp  weather  that  the  vines  become  un¬ 
healthy. 
“Rut  t ho  big  crops  that  some  of  them 
raise  down  there  show  that  it;  can  he 
done.  Not  many  of  them  prepare  the 
ground  right.  It  should  be  sod  laud  anti 
a  good  strong  clover,  not  a  pi  pee  all  run 
out.  It  should  be  plowed  deeply.  There 
are  too  many  small  plows  aiul  small
