Culture: Any good, well drained, fibrous loam will pro- 
duce potatoes under right climatic conditions. For early 
potatoes the soil should be particularly rich. 
In the home garden potatoes are planted about 28 inches 
apart between the rows, 14 inches in the rows. It takes 5 
to 8 lbs. (depending on their size and frequency of eyes) 
to plant 100 feet of row. Cut the potatoes so that each piece 
has 2 eyes. After cutting spread thinly in dry place for 
several hours to allow them to callus. Plant in March or 
early April, about 5 inches deep. It will take three or four 
weeks to sprout above the ground. Begin cultivation as soon 
as possible. Clean, frequent cultivation is essential, espe- 
cially in the early stages. No weeds and a fine mulch should 
be the rule for the first few weeks. When the plants get 
large, making it difficult to cultivate, hill up on both sides 
of row, after which no cultivation will be necessary. Dig 
after tops have dried.
