Irish potatoes are becoming an important crop in Putnam county. Yields of 200 and 300 bushels j,< ^ acre are not uncommon where the I best cultural practices are combined with the liberal use of certified seed I stocks and fertilized soil. The county is adapted to the needs of the pot<« to crop. Those who understand the j requirements and put (hem into prac- ] tice are successful potato growers. Some growers are so successful that it is no longer a question of yield, but one of markets. They have found that well-graded, home-growi potatoes find a ready market. A market that pays them from 35 to 50 cents more per 100 pounds than th* northern potato growers receive. The following are some essentials of profitable production as listed in Extension Bulletin No. 98, “More and Better Potatoes." 1. Certified seed has given an average of 70 bushels per acre in Indiana. The observations extend over 18 years and include more than 8 000 potato fields in which certified seed
was used.
2. The Irish Cobbler leads all other varieties for early planting in Indiana. Rurais, Chippewa and Katahdin can be recommended for later planting. 3. Select the very best soil on the farm for potatoes, like a clover or
7. Two-ounce seed pieces give best results. Rows are usually planted 2t to 36 inches apart, with pieces 8 to 15 inches in the row. Not leas than 20 bushels of seed per acre should be used and 25 to 30 bushels glv ■ more profitable yields.
In a number of counties, heavy fires are running through patches of room sedge, and spreading from there into young patches of timber or into good stands bordering these fields, reports J. L. Van Camp, extension forester. Purdue University. Purdue extension bulletin No. 233 shows that burning broom sedge fields will not remove broom sedge, but will in fact, cause it to come up thicker than ever. Other methods, including liming, fertilizing, reseeding, and pasture management are necessary to obtain good pasture species and to crowd out the broom sedge. Fires which are set by ihe owner for the purpose of burning out broom sedge fields fail to remove the broom sedge permanently, but cause I considerable damage, not only to lands of timber, but in some cases to buildings and fences, when left uncontrolled.
8. Cultivation should start immediately after planting. Frequen shallow cultivations are best. 9. Spraying with Bordeaux
