Irish potatoes may be easily grown on'almost every Southern farm and they may be substituted for wheat flour to a much greater degree than is usual* without detriment. It is i probable that the demand for them will very likely increase, owing to the government's most stringent regulations concerning whe'at conr sumption. Therefore, notwithstanding the high price ,of seed potatoes, plant a larger acreage than ever before and work it more carefully, says the Extension horticulturist, [ Geo. P. Hoffinann. \ Potatoes should have been, planted during early March. If it is possible to plant an additional patch or two, I do so immediately. " - ' Prenare the cTOund well and. lav the rows off three feet apart, apply in the drill a complete fertilizer at the rate of eight huhdred pounds per acre and mix it well with the soil. Drop the cut tubers 12 to 16 inches apart in t^e row and cover to a depth of 4 to 6 inches. Irish Cobbler and Triumph are two of the best early varieties., i ir Do not fear the ravages of the po 4' I ' ' ' i^I .
