POTATOES 
Culture —The potato will thrive in most soils, but it does best in good sandy loam, or that 
having an abundant humus such as freshly turned under pasture, or new land turf. Heavy 
phosphoric content chemical fertilizers are used most successfully by large growers to force 
results; but with the average small gardener standard plant foods are adequate. Plant, as early 
as ground can be worked in spring, in furrows 3 feet apart and about every 12 inches. Cut tubers 
from surface to center into pieces containing 2 eyes and plant one of these to a hill, covering 
them 3 to 4 inches. Hoe frequently, earthing each plant somewhat to support it. Ten to twelve 
bushels should plant an acre.
