Organic manure promotes rot and other diseases, while 
commercial 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, 
especially when drought prevails, or the soil is light 
and sandy. 
From 12 to 15 bushels are required to plant an acre.
