I PLANT IRISH POTATOES IN

! 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
