Culture: For early Potatoes in the latitude 
of Norfolk, plant at the first suitable weather 
in February; heavy manuring is absolutely 
essential. A second crop may be planted in 
July and August. Furrows 4 to 6 inches deep 
should be made 3 feet apart, and unless potato 
fertilizer has been broadcasted, it should be 
drilled in the furrows at the rate of 40 Ibs. to 
100 yards, mixing it thoroughly with the soil. 
Drop the pieces about 12 to 15 inches apart and 
cover 3 or 4 inches. If planted early in Feb- 
ruary, they should be covered with 2 furrows. 
Late in March, when the sprouts have started 
but are still under the ground, the rows should 
be dragged to remove the excess of covering 
After the dirt has been turned away from each side of the rows, little need 
be done except to work it back again by successive cultivations.

New Improved Semesan Bel 
Insure high germination, reduce disease, 
and increase yield by using Semesan Bel. 
Scab, Rhizoctonia, and Black-leg are the bugbears of every potato 
grower. 
The old-fashioned, time-taking method of disinfecting seed pota- 
toes with mercuric bichloride or formaldehyde is now a thing of the 
past. One pound of Semesan Bel will treat 60 to 80 bushels of cut 
potatoes. lt also possesses greater disease control properties, 
especially in respect to control of Rhizoctonia and seed-borne Scab. 
The “instantaneous dip’ method of applying new Semesan Bel saves 
time and labor. Semesan Bel does not harm the seed pieces.
