The expression “by and large” originated
during the days of sailing ships.
* ^
The orde r to sail “by and large” meant to
sail slightly off the wind. Even a helsman with.
little experience could carry a out the order. To
sail close to the wind required the skill of an
expert helmsman.
The leeway in “by and large” made *il a
general order and led to the phrase’s adaption
into everyday usage with, the meaning of “on
the whole” or “speaking generally.”

taught — and how it is taught — are still
mighty important. After all, quite a number
of our greatest Americans have been the
products of one-room schoolhouses or of mod
est educational backgrounds! Many years
ago, the distinguished British philosopher.
Herbert Spencer, wrote: “Education has for
its project the formation of character.” We
seem to be losing sight of that concept in our
highly competitive society. If this trend
continues, we shall be not only financially —
but spiritually — the poorer.
Gardeners have no assur
ance that they can repeat their
performance of last year when
they made unusually high
yields of Irish potatoes.
But they can assure them
selves the best possible crop
by planting early — on the
recommended planting date.
I have talked to Thomas.
Garrett, Clemson Extension
horticulturist, about the phe
nomenal potato yields 1 a s t
spring. He gave these views:
“We had an extended cool
spring last year. The potato
is a cool season annual, and
last spring was just made to
order. As a result, some gar
deners were astonished by
their high yields.”
Garrett says the potato re
quires a growing season of 90
to 110 days.
“But if the potatoes are ma-
tftring while tempratures are
high, say above 85 .degrees,
you don’t get large crops. You
get the best yields when the
crop matures during rather
cool temperatures,”
That’s why, he says, your
chances of getting high yields
are improved by planting on
the recommended early
planting dates.
Planting in the Coastal
P
is recommended be
tween Feb. 1-15. Gardeners in
the Midlands should plant
their potatoes between Feb.
20 and Mar. 10. And Piedmont
gardeners should plant their
potato patc h beween Mar. 10-
30.
Plan*ing later than these
dates wlil result in maturity
during the hot part of the
spring or summer and you’re
likely o be disappointed in
your crop.
“If everything goes well,
you should be able to get
about 12 pounds of potatoes
for each pound of seed you
plant.”
Garrett says the normal
seeding rate is 12 pounds of
seed (cut potatoes) to each
100 feet or row. The seed
pieces should be about the
size of medium Jto large eggs.
“Cutting the seed pieces too
small definitely results in low
yields.”
The usual method of plant
ing is to place the seed
pieces 12 inches apart in a
shallow,. well-Arained furrow.
After dropping the seed, bed
over the furrow, making a
high, wide bed.
“Let this bed stand for about
30 days. Then go in and knock
off the top to the bed, shaping
the top to a flat smooth sur
face. The bed should not be
lowered too low; keep the top
