The government is asking for 11 per cent more potatoes 
this year. Prices will be supported at not less than 90 per 
cent parity. Part of the increase will come from increased 
acreage. Much of it can come from good seed from known 
sources. Don't rely on half-breed, possibly run-down vari- 
eties from doubtful sources—get good true-variety healthy 
seed, plant on good ground ... results will pay you well.

and was able to make good crops after the late rains. In 
some places it has outyielded any other variety. 
“GREEN MOUNTAIN” (CERTIFIED)

diseases.

Finishing Lambs 
for Market 

The market always pays a premium for a 
well-finished lamb of the proper weight. The 
half-fat lamb is very severely penalized. 
Lambs coming to market in the late summer 
or early fall usually require some grain, in 
addition to the permanent pasture, to pro- 
duce the desired market finish. The follow- 
ing grain mixture has proved to be very sat- 
isfactory: 8 parts corn, 2 parts oats, and 1 
part linseed cake. Lambs should always be 
started on feed slowly, beginning with one- 
fourth of a pound each, and the grain in- 
creased until at the end of 10 days to 2 weeks 
they are consuming from three-fourths of a 
pound to 1 pound of this mixture daily. Many 
farmers depend on permanent pasture to 
finish the lamb crop and as a result they 
market lambs that are only half fat. 
Alfalfa for pasture. For hogs, alfalfa 
is the best pasture, furnishing a maxi- 
mum of ideal forage throughout the 
season, even in dry, hot weather. As 
many as 20 shoats or several sows and 
their pigs can be carried per acre.
