Potatoes 
The potato seems to thrive in almost any soil or climate, but a good, sandy loam suits it best. Old sod plowed 
the previous Fall will produce the most abundant and certain crops. On no other crop are the results from the use 
of phosphates more manifest than on the Potato. Organic manure promotes rot and other diseases, while com¬ 
mercial fertilizers prevent them and will grow smooth, fine tubers. Plant as early in the Spring as the ground 
can be thoroughly worked, in rows 3 feet apart and 10 inches apart in the row; plant one or two eyes in a hill (cut 
from the surface to the center of the tuber), cover 3 to 4 inches. Cultivate frequently from the time the young 
plants appear above the surface of the ground until they 
blossom. At each hoeing, throw the earth up to the 
plant for support and to develop the side shoots. In 
some sections, flat culture is preferred to ridging, espec¬ 
ially when drought prevails, or the soil is light and 
sandy. 
From 12 to 15 bushels are required to plant 
an acre.
