Planting Potatoes Is it best to plant whole potatoes, quarter potatoes, pieces with two eyes or pieces with a single eye? Which will give the greater yield, plan!ing twenty bushels per acre, or planting but eight or ten bushels? The answer to these- questions will depend somewhat, on the variety, soil and seed. Experiments prove, however, that most potato growers plant too little seed in order to ob tain the greatest net yield. At the Michigan station, seed cut in halves and planted at the rate of twenty bushels per acre gave a total yield of 317 bushels, or a net' yield in ex cess of the seed of 297 bushels; seed cut in quarters and planted at the rate of nine bushels per acre gave a total yield of 254 bushels, or a net yield in excess of the sec-el of 245 bushels; seed cut in eighths and planted at. the rate of five bushels to the acre gave a total yield of 221 bushels per acre or a net yield of 216 bushels; seed cut with a single eye and planted at the rate of four bush els to the -re gave a total yield of 178 bushels or a net yield of 174 bushels. This experiment. is cer tainly very strongly in favor of heavy seeding. In this same experiment whole tubers planted at the rate of 41 bushels per acre gave a total yield of 293 bushels, or a. net yield of 251 bushels. This result was rather un usual, as in most, experiments the whole potatoes have given a greater yield than any of the cut potatoes. The value of the seed has much to do with the thickness of planting. With seed at $1.50 a bushel, one would naturally be more inclined to cut it in small pieces than with seed at 50 cents a bushel. As an average of 30 experiments at thirteen differ ent state experiment stations it was found that half potatoes produced, in twenty-three experiments out. of the thirty, a larger net marketable yield than did the potatoes cut to two eyes. In these same experi ments twenty-two of the thirty ex periments gave a greater net value of the crop (value of the crop less the value of the seed) in favor of the half potatoes. In twelve experi ments, comparing whole potatoes with half potatoes, seven gave a greater net value of the crop (value of the crop less the value of the seed planted i in favor of the whole over the half potatoes. From this we would conclude that it generally. although not always, pays to. plant much heavier than do most farmers in the corn belt. A New York experl mentor of much experience recom mends seventeen to twenty bushels as about right under ordinary condi tions. How far apart shall the rows be spaced? How close shall the seed be planted in the row? This depends largely upon the variety, soil, time of plaining, and manner of cultivation. With the ordinary method of giving horse cultivation, rows three feet apart and seed fifteen Inches apart in the row Is about right. Eearly potatoes may be planted considerably closer together to good advantage. The depth of planting also depends largely on the soil and time of plant ing. Early potatoes are generally planted too deep. In ordinary soils two and one-half inches Is plenty deep enough to cover the early crop. If the soil Is heavy and damp, one and one-half to two Inches may be deep enough. The drier the soil and the lighter It Is, the deeper the seed should be planted. To avoid sun burn, it is best generally to plant at i least one and one-half inches deep. For the main crop experiments show quite clearly that in the ordinary 1 season and on ordinary soils three to four and one-half Inches Is about the' right depth. * It formerly was a common custom j to plant potatoes In ridges. This method originated; in the damp cli mates of the old country. In our lighter soils and drier climate, It is better to give level culture; in fact, most potato growers plant their seed In a furrow which is not entirely filled up at planting time; this meth od is more saving of moisture. There is more or less science to In cutting uf potato seed. If you will look carefully at the tuber you will notice that at one end there is a mark showing where it cam,- from the stem. This is the stem end of the potato, and you will notice that the eyes are few and far between her,-; the other end is Known as the seed end, and here the eyes are very thick. The Pennsylvania station states that each eye has roots, all of which run toward the stem end of the potato. Judging from this, the Pennsylvania station strongly recom mends taking care in cutting pota toes to see that with every eye a piece of potato flesh toward the stem end goes with it. A cut which Is made just, below an eye toward the stem ,-nd of tin- potato will leave the eye with no means of getting nour ishment, as it has no roots connect ing it with the flesh which is toward the seed end. The main crop of potatoes is plant ed about corn planting time or a lit tle later. Early potatoes are put in as soon as the ground will work in good shape. It is said that planting whole seed about the size of liens' eggs will hasten tin- maturity of the early crop a week or ten days. A greater gain in earllness may be se cured by sun-sprouting these pota toes for about a month previous to planting; this will produce stubby green sprouts about a half an inch long, which are ready to start to grow as soon as planted. — Wallace's Farmer. A Plea for the Apple Which lessens the Cost of Living and Makes Growers Hich. The Industry of raising apples will act as a check, in part, to this drift to the cities, and is furnishing and will furnish a healthful and profit able occupation for a great.many peo ple who apply intelligence and hard work to the business. As all of you know, the production of apples in the United States lias fallen from 60, --153,000 barrels in 1895; to 22,735, --000 barrels in 1909, although the population of the country has in creased during that period from 70, --000,000 to 90,000,000, and this great decrease In the production of a valuable food comes at a time when our growing population needs all forms of food in constantly increas ing quantity. Fifteen years ago nearly one barrel per capita was produced and now only one-fourth of a barrel; there is no evidence here of overproduction. The food value of the apple is not understood well enough, and this should be mad,- plain by the grower and those Interested in helping him to obtain the widest possible market. An examination of the cookery hooks and the periodicals devoted to food, shows tht there are many ways in which fruit and fruit products can be cooked and served. At the apple show of Berkeley County Horticul tural Society, held at Martinsburg, West Virginia, November 4 and 5, 1909, detailed recipes were furnished showing one hundred and one ways for using their apples. One most de sirable exhibit of the National Apple show was the department of domes tic economy, where apples were serv ed in various forms.

On aecoum of the great decrease in the tot i amount of apples produced In th United States, the fruit is becomtn* something of a luxury and [, ÜBe ? rather for its pleasant flavor than for its food value, says Howard El liott, president last National Apple show, in "Farm Press.' p rults should not be looked upon simply a , a luxury, but should he considered as an economical source of nutrition for the average family. FrultSfTC penally cooked, are almost complete, ly digested, and have a higher nu tiitiv,- value than is popularly at . tributed to them. The apple furnish ,-s a wholesome, palatal, and very attractive addition to the food supply of the family; and the Increasing production of the apple should help to offset the growing price of meat and other forms of food. The great falling off in the produc tion of apples is probably dm- to the fact that In the older states In the east, the growing of apples was inch | dental to other forms of agriculture ami was not a business by itself When the trees were young, the pro duction was good, but gradually, the trees grew older and orchard pests Increased, the attention necessary for a crop of apples became greater, and the orchards not receiving it gradu ally failed. Twenty-live years ago, In a small Michigan town, dependent for its principal business upon the handling and packing of apples, large warehouses were in use for handling the apples, and a large number of men employed to take care of the fruit. Now, only one apple ware house remains, and other crops have taken the lead. In the early days, scientific grow ing of apple trees was. not much thought of. Now, the day of the commercial orchard has come, not only in the west, hut all over the country, ami men an- giving the same careful and thorough attention to the production of apples that they are giving to the producton of steel, and making of agricultural Implements, or to any other business that Is con ducted with skill and Intelligence. It. is not an Idle statement to say that in a few years there will be 100,0 carloads of apples marketed from Washington. Idaho, Oregon and Montana alone, and there is a grow ing production of apples in the states in the Mississippi valley and east thereof. All of the increased pro duction of apples cannot be placed within the sixty days of harvesting at . the point of ultimate destination, and it would be an economic mistake* to try to do so. Therefore, it will be necessary for the apple grower to do what the wheat grower has done, namely, provide means for holding part of his crop near the primary market In cold storage. — Green's Fruit Grower.
