Special fo THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del., March 16-March 15,
the "middle of March," the day for
planting early potatoes all over the
peninsula—if an early spring has not
brought about an earlier date, found
the ground frozen and weather unpro
pit loua for working the. soil.
Any day from now on. however, the
the ground the seed for one of the
greatest potato plantings ever known
in Delaware or Maryland.
"The American people have learned
to eat potatoes," said a prominent Phil
ndelphia commission man hero in dis
cussing substitutes for beef and haip.
The acreage In the vicinity of Dover
and west of Dover to Rldgely will be
the largest known in years, while the
potato crop down the peninsula is ex
ported to suntass the best producing
year yet known.
Potato experts have «een much In
demand all winter. Charles Gum, of
Showell's, the second station south of
Selbyville, I» one of the potato kings
who has addressed several Delaware
farmers' meeting the last fortnight,
j Last year. Mr. Gum planted 1.500
j bushels of potatoes, the seed alone cost
| ing over $3,000, as seed potatoes are
j costly articles. Prom the 1,500 bushels

he begins work until the end of the
potato harvest, he will have a force
of twelve potato farmers employed.
From the time
Mr. Gum's suie preventive for the

formula :
To fifty gallons of water add one
pound and a half of Paris Green and
three-fourths of a pound of arsenic of

The arsenic of lead, which is

poisonous, causes the Paris Green to
adhere to the plants until the heavy
rains have no effect in removing the
chemicals. Prior to planting. Mr. Gum
sprinkles the seed with sulphur to kill
