Seed Potatoes 
CULTURE—500 to 600 pounds will plant an acre. Any good, well-drained soil will produce potatoes under right climatic 
conditions and proper cultivation. For early potatoes that mature in 10 to 12 weeks from the time of planting, the soil 
should be particularly rich. A rich clover or alfalfa sod manured and broken the year before and planted to corn or some 
other crop that is cultivated well and often, is in best shape for growing a good crop of nice, clean potatoes. The first 
requisite for a crop of good potatoes is good seed, and the next is good soil—then proper cultivation. Cut the potatoes so 
that each piece will have two or more eyes, then plant in furrows 6 inches deep, 2% to 3 feet apart, and 12 to 13 inches 
apart in the row. Cover 3 to 4 inches deep, and about the time the potatoes are ready to come through run a harrow 
over the ground, which will level up the furrows, making asmooth ground upon which to work when the potatoes come 
through and are ready for cultivation.
