POTATOES FERTILIZED AND 
SPRAYED. 
E. E. and J. W. Edgerly, of Princeton, 
Me., report that they have used Bowker’s 
Fertilizers for 12 years with good results. 
The past season they planted potatoes on 
three acres of clay loam which was in 
grass the year before. Eight cords of barn 
diessing were applied in connection with 
Bowker's Stockbridge Fertilizer, at the 
rate of 266 2-3 pounds to the acre, applied 
in the rows, which were 32 inches apart, 
and the seed. Green Mountain variety, 
planted 15 inches apart in the rows, by 
hand, and covered four inches deep. The 
piece was cultivated once each week with 
a weeder cultivator and horse hoe. They 
also sprayed the potatoes every 10 days 
after they came up, with Bowker’s Boxal. 
The crop grew well from the start and 
kept growing until the frost killed the 
tops. They were harvested October 14 to 
17 and yielded 483 bushels on the piece, or 
161 bushels per acre measured. 
Messrs. Edgerly add: “One of our cus¬ 
tomers to whom we shipped a quantity of 
these potatoes stated, ‘Those potatoes you 
sent us were an extra lot.’ ’’—Adv.

THE ARCTIC 26° BELOW ZERO. 
M. J. Graham, proprietor of River¬ 
side Fruit Farm, Adel, Iowa, writes: 
“On January 3d the temperature at this 
place was 20 degrees below zero and on 
the 24th 26 degrees below, January 25th 
24 degrees below, January 26th 24 de¬ 
grees below, January 29th 20 degrees 
below, and I am pleased to report at 
this writing, February 9, 1904, full 90 
per cent of the fruit buds on the Arctic 
peaches, which I purchased two years 
ago from Call’s Nurseries, Perry, Ohio, 
are apparently uninjured, while buds on 
all other varieties, except Victor, are all 
killed. I have over forty varieties of 
peaches in bearing. Surely the Arctic 
is well named.” Call has a large stock 
of the Arctics on hand, and those of our 
readers who wish to secure some of 
them should order early, direct from 
Call’s Nurseries, Perry, Ohio. Write
