j e , s ^’ ?" s m °i s ture came late. Other years, especially with summer 
tilled land, eaily sorts like the Ohio will do better. Thus it pays to plant 
both early and late sorts to hit the season at one end or the other. 
Summer Tilling and better early conditions will make better'shape 
and better seed as well as increased yield. See under Dry Land Potato 
Growing, and Julesburg 1910.

TORT MORGAN. 
On June g we planted one acre at Fort Morgan with about 
I/20 acre, one row, each of the following as a test of sources of 
seed potatoes of standard varieties for Fort Morgan: 
Rural —Seed from four sources. 
Pearl —Seed from ten sources. 
Other Varieties —Three. 
Grasshoppers practically destroyed the field. None of us realized 
how serious this pest would be here in 1910, or a long narrow field be¬ 
tween grain and alfalfa would not have been chosen. A right good fight 
was put up when we realized the situation, but we could not have won 
unless we had had the special sprayer and arrangements used at Greeley. 
Greeley Rules. —These will apply here, as to change of seed, deep 
cultivation, late planting, late watering, rapid harvest, as set forth else¬ 
where in this bulletin. In the vicinity of Brush heavy yields were se¬ 
cured,^ of excellent quality, both of Rurals and Pearls. 
Varieties for Morgan County will be the Rural, Pearl, Ohio, and 
Cobbler. First year Greeley seed will do well, as will dry land seed which 
shows no signs of running out. Sage brush land potatoes from the moun¬ 
tains will do well, as will Wisconsin seed. 
Morgan County dryland potato growers will find their problems dis¬ 
cussed elsewhere herein.
