Proper consideration of tl*ese> will do much towards controlling diseases and successful storage. . time for PEDDINtl In open ground: After the danger of frost (middle of March to first of April), usually four to six week: before transplanting time. In hotbed: Usually four to six weeks before danger of frost is over (15th to 20th of February.) \ ar lottos For storage: Porto Itico or Nancy llall (A port* strain of tho one locallj most popular.)

Split stems and examine lot stem rot. If the stems are* blackened inside, do not use for seed. 3. Throw out all potatoes with nearly round, suit ken, black spots or. tho surface, or rotten ends. 4. Hefori! bedding, go over seed potatoes again, stud remove all showing diseased spots, rotted ends, or bad wounds. Treatment of Seed. 1. Immerse for to S minutes in a solution of formaldehyde (comniercial -to per eent.) made by diluting one quart formaldehyde in !>0 gallons wate.r.

I Bed potatoes at once. 1 * PrcpanUIon - and Handling or Plant Bed Potato plants are usually grown in open ground in this state, but for early plants the hotbed is recommended. Note following points in -preparation and care of bed. 1 . Borate the bed in a southeastern exposure, with protection from wind preferred; easy reach of water; good drainage; and prefefably new land. 2. Break land deep, scoop out 3 or 4 inches of soil rather than dig a deep Jkl. Make bed rectangular. nnt iiune ulv commodate the seed bedded. Burning bed site, as in making'tobacco -beds, helps destroy weeds and sterilize soil. 3. Mix approximately half and half cottonseed and horse stable manure for heat (!"> bushels of cotton seed to a plot C x 14 4'), and put <lown a layer of 4 to f> inches. Bevel, pack, and if dry sprinkle. t'oVer the mixture with 2 to 3 inches of sand. Allow this to remain 24 t.> 3f> hours oe.'ore bedding to prevent potatoes overheating. 4. Immediately after heating, bed' ooiatoes so as to be nearly touching, t'over with one inch til* sand, then one inch layer of unpaeked piije straw, an<l cover straw with 4 inches of sand. The straw prevents pulling potatoes out of ground when plants are pulled. 6. lied three to four bushels for enough plants for eaeli acre, or 10,000 to 14,000 plants. 6. 17se light canvas, heavy muslin, or glass to protect plants from frost. n r>, .11 r.lor.**. #?'*# . m. mi vtkT.ii iw rutnurugr production. 9'2' Water piantw oftcvn to prevent drytvna. but do not keep bed nougy.

ND OTHER | 1M TUC T7TT IV* I The practice usually is to bed one bushel oC seed potatoes lor -each thousand plants desired at first drawing. One bushel will usually produce 3000 to 4 000 plants nt three drawings. With good seed potatoes and a well managed bed. the average number of plants will run some higher. Plants or draws may be grown for an eighth to a sixth of the area planted, vine cuttings being used foi | the remainder. The single leaf cut-1 ting. 8 to 10 inches long, is reeommonded. The surest and most reliable source of disease-free stock is the saving of seed stock from the part of the field that was grown from vine cuttings. Our sleek of tires are new.
