"DOING HIS BIT" IS FARMER BROWN Patriot All Way, From Liberty Bonds To Furrows?He Plants Potatoes and Corn. j (By J. C. Pridmore, Farm Service) Bureau, Atlanta, Ga.) Farmer Brown Is a patriot. He came to town yesterday and bought a Liberty bond. But this is not all that he has done toward suppressing Prussianism. He planted a larger acreage of corn and other food crops ibis year than he has ever planted before. He also used more fertilier and is now cultivating these cropB from early till late, hoping and trust ing that he will have enough for home needs and some to spare. Realizing that patriotism and profits go hand in hand on his farm, and * ~ nnnH mie til Knowiug mui. ?*c uiuoi. ? eat, war or no war, he is now preparing to plant an unusually large acreage of Irish potatoes where he harvested grain. This crop, he says, is as good a cash crop as is cotton. And this is the way he plants his second crop potatoes: After grain is harvested he harrows the land with a disk harrow, and then deeply and thoroughly breaks it. It is then harrowed again until it is in a fine pulverized condition, and left this way until ready for planting in July. Occasionally it is harrowed with a spike tooth harrow to kill the weeds and to conserve moisture. While he plants after grain, any available land, properly worked will give as good results. The rows are laid off three and a half feet apart, seven or eight inches deep with a one horse shovel plow. "The potato plant respond immediately and profitably to heavy applications of plant food," he says "and if ray land is not mighty rich already I like to use liberal amounts of fertilizer for I find that it pays me. A ton to the acre is not too much," he snys, "when applied to a good soil. I prefer a material analyzing 3 per cent cr 4 per cent, nitrogen, 8 per cent or 10 per cent phosphoric acid and 5 per cent, or 6 per cent. potaBh. Potash iB too high now and I can't use more than 1 per cent, or 2 per cent, of this element, but I know that there is nothing like potash in growing good potatoes." Continuing, he said, "I put my fertilizer in the furrow under the potatoes, I apply from 1,000 to 1,500 pounds per acre, and mix this with the soil by running a bull' tongue plow through the furrow." "It is & good plan" he says, "to cover the seed potatoes with sand or gunny sacks two or three weeks pre FOOD BILL GOES S| TO UPPER HOUSE fif" Believed That Measure Will Be Put ?

This crop, in fact, is cne of the easiest for me to grow, affords a cheaper source of food for home use and a surplus gives me a big income an- j nually."
