Is to have a good rich loam soil

time the ground is first plowed, in

if there Is a shower in summer
like' last ' summer.", to stir the
ground quick 'and; not let a crust
form. : If . the crop commences to
turn dark geen on top and yellow
next i& 'the ground too early ' in
summer. then; - the crop will be
short,; or with 4 fyprable change
in weather the young spuds will
commence to grow, and, -send out
Knobs, and' damage the grade of
the crop.- Erpry weed allowed to
er.ow In the field lessens the crop.
Destroy ail weeds so the spuds
can.baye all the moisture all for
their own use. J Be, very careful
that: you plant good' clean seed in
