- W 1 1 J m 1..- ita I 1 cr Gravelly Loams Are Cost Adapted for Success With Potatoes. fl"::t food is ctbtaiit Never Advisable to Turn Up More Than One Inch cf Raw Subsoil at One Plowing Land Should Be Pulverized. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The types of soil in which the potato plant thrives best are those designated as sandy or gravelly loam soils. It may be grown with a fair degree of success on any type of soil except loose sand and a heavy, sticky clay soil, provided the land is well drained and contains the necessary plant food. Successful potato production is dependent to a large extent on the thoroughness with which the land is prepared before planting the crop. Where a horse can be used, the land should be plowed from 8 to 10 inches deep, provided the surface soil Is of a sufficent depth to permit it. It is never advisable to turn up more than one inch of raw subsoil at any one plowing, so if previous plowings have not been over G inches the maximum depth at which it should be plowed is 7 inches. Thoroughly Pulverized. Whether the land is plowed or spaded, it should be thoroughly pulverized immediately afterwards. It is a bad practice to allow the freshly turned soil to bake in the sun and wind, and thereby become cloddy. Where horse labor can be used, the land after plowing should be thoroughly disked first, jhen springroothed. and finally finished with a A Good Example of Digging Potatoes in Old Way. smoothing harrow. Where land must be prepared by hand, it is good practice to pulverize the soil as much as possible when spading it up, after which it can be put in a fine condition of mellowness with a steel garden rake. The importance of thoroughly fining the soil cannot be overemphasized, for it increases the waterholding capacity of the soil, renders more plant food available, and reduces the number of weeds. When to Plant Potatoes. The date of planting necessarily must be governed by climatic conditions. In attempting to produce as early a crop as possible, some risk must always be incurred of the plants being injured by late spring frosts. As a general proposition, it is best to plant potatoes as soon as there is little likelihood of killing frosts after the plants are up and the ground is in condition to work. Depth to Plant. Plant the small eye cuttings from 12 to 3 inches deep, depending upon the character of the soil the lighter the soil the greater the depth of planting. Larger sets may be planted 4 Inches deep. Spacing. If an early variety is planted, and the work is to be done by hand, th.rrows may be spaced as close as 20 Inches, whereas if cultivation is to be done with a horse, 30 to 34 inches usually is allowed. In order to give the gardener some idea of the number of sets required to plant a plot ground 50 by 100 feet at different spacing, the following table is submitted. If a late variety is planted, the spacing should be greater, say 34 to 30 Inches between the rows and 12 to 13 Inches between the plants In the row. To Plant a Plot 50 by 100 Feet. Space between Space in row Sets rows. between plants, required. 16 Inches 10 inches 2.TS9 Inches 12 inches 2.47 2S Inches 10 inches 2.6TS rS inches 12 inches 2,221 : inches 10 Inches 2.400 SO inches 12 Inches 2.000 22 inches 12 Inches 1.ST4 84 inches 12 inches 1.7r". UNPROFITABLE METHOD Hogging down rye is an unprofitable practice, according to tests made in pork production at the Ohio experiment station. The tests show that it Is generally more profitable to harvest the .grain and sell it es a cash crop, or to feed the grain to hogs after threshing, rather than to allow the hogs to harvest the grain themselves.

1 ii i ilJt i f I LQ17EF1S uEAT PH10ES Animals Are Slaughtered at All Times of Year. Meat Is Chilled in One Room and Will Keep for Long Period in Good Condition Meats Inspected by Veterinarian. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The city of Paris, Tex., operates a municipal abattoir which serves the entire locality at cost, according to the United States department of agriculture, which has recently procured data regarding its operation. Hogs are killed in this establishment at all times of the year, and at a cost to the owners of $1.50 a head, which covers killing, dressing and cooling the meat. The meat is chilled for 24 hours in one room, put in the cooler the next day, and kept at 32 degrees, and will keep in good condition for a long period. The first four days It Is kept in this cooler without additional cost to the owner and after that it is kept at a charge of ten cents a day for each carcass. Hogs are killed nnd salted down nt $2.50 a head, no extra charge being made for the salt, and they are kept in cold-storage rooms after being salted down for four days without additional cost, and at five cents a day thereafter. This curing room is separate from the regular cooler where fresh meats are kept, and Is not quite so cold, but no meat has been known to he lost in it. Calves up to 350 pounds are killed for $1.50 a head and the hide is left on them, though they are dressed jind the hide is thoroughly washed. When cattle are skinned there is an additional charge of one dollar, the hide remaining the property of the owner of the carcass. Sheep are killed at $1.50 a head and are skinned without extra charge. Hogs, cattle and sheep are killed throughout the year. A city ordinance compels every butcher or other indlI vidual who sells meat in Paris to have j his slaughtering done at the municipal ! abattoir, which is operated at cost. All the meats are inspected by the I city veterinarian, who stamps each carcass. The plant pays its own expenses and has been making enough in addition to cover cost of depreciation. The abattoir cost lxdween $15,000 and $20,000. About ten years ago, when the abattoir was built, the department has : a record of original cost of $10,000 ; and the daily capacity then was 30 cat- ', He, 30 hogs" and 30 sheep and calves. Meat in Paris has been selling from ' ten to twelve cents a pound cheaper j than in some neighboring localities. Competition is assured because it is easy for the hotels, restaurants and others using much meat to buy live stock and have it killed and stored in this municipal abattoir until they are ready to consume it. This results in prices being kept at relatively low levels. WAR ON WHEAT SMUT WIDENS Sales of Formaldehyde Demonstrat Desire of Farmers to Drive Out Insidious Disease. That farmers are tremendously In earnest in their desire to drive out wheat smut Is shown by the big Increase in the sales of formaldehyde which have been made in four states where the United States department of agriculture, in co-operation with the extension departments of the state agricultural colleges, has been carrying on campaigns of education Illustration cf Improvement Whicn May Result From Treating Seed With Formaldehyde as Smut Often Stunts the Plants. to demonstrate the proper use of formaldehyde in treating .wheat for this disease. Reports from these states show that the Increnst? In the sales of formaldehyde for the current year varies from 150 to 325 per cent, as compared with the sales of 1017, the last year before the present campaign was inaugurated. The four states in which this record has been made are Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana. There is every reason to believe. that practically all of this increase represents supplies used in fighting smut.
