Show Make the potato patch a business. This should be a great spring for gardens. Thoroughly air-dried seed corn will stand almost any temperature, no matter how low. Corn that makes 70 buBhels an acre will yield about one and three-fourths tons for stover. One way to ease tbe work on the farm and make It more attractive Is to systematize it. After a cold night raise the sash on the hotbed as soon as the sun begins be-gins to warm things up. In selecting Beed potatoes from the bin it Is best to take' the smooth, even, medium-sized tubers. The Early Ohio Is still to be beaten is a Kansas potato for early plant- Ing. Carmen No, 3 makes a good late crop. To be certain about your seeds buy them only from a reliable seedsmaB, who puts his name and reputation behind his product. The supply of vegetable matter Ii most easily maintained In the soil by the growing of green crops and ry the application of manure. For general or common use, caustic caus-tic or burnt lime or ground limestone are employed almost exclusively for the correction of soil abnormalities. Just because the soil Is full of water wa-ter do not think that cultivation Is unnecessary. Of the rainfall past we know; of that to come we are not sure. The soil that Is drained can be worked earlier, not only because the farmer can get on the soil earlier, but because it Is warmer than that which Is soaked. |
