How to Get a Stand 
of Fall Irish 
Potatoes 
Use Ethylene Chlorhydrin. This chemical when ap¬ 
plied to the cut potatoes causes a complete quick 
sprouting by drying them out, consequently you can 
use your own May dug potatoes after they have been 
out of the ground for three weeks, and by treating 
with Ethylene Chlorhydrin you will get a perfect 
stand by Sept. 1st, and consequently a sure crop. The 
treatment is simple and inexpensive. Complete direc¬ 
tions for using come with the material.
