The culture of the Irish potato is
familiar to almost everyone who has
| ever had a gat den. In brief, the po­
tatoes should be planted as soon as
the ground can be worked In spring,
two weeks before the average date of
the last killing frost being none too
early. The tubers should be cut so
that each piece contains from one to
two eyes, and the pieces planted in
rows from 24 to 30 inches apart, and
from 10 to 15 Inches apart in the rows,
depending on the variety. Cultivation
should be frequent and thorough. It
Is an excellent idea to work soil up
to the plants as they develop, so that
there will be plenty of soil to cover
the potatoes as they form.
Early potatoes in the central and
southern sections of the country will
mature in sufficient time for the gar­
dener to grow a crop of sweet corn,
late cabbage or turnips on the same
ground. It Is oft o possible to plant
the second crop between the potato
rows before the potatoes are dug.
Early potatoes may be used as soon as
large enough, an old rule being to be­
gin using them when they are as large
as a hen’s egg. The usual method is
to dig them as needed, leaving the
main part of the crop to develop to
maturity.
In the central portion of the United
States the late crop may be planted
from June 15 to July 1, but in the
northern sections the main crop is
planted earlier than this, no attempt
being made to produce early and late
potatoes, as in many sections the
growing season is too short for the
production of but one crop.
Late
potatoes are allowed to grow until they
mature or until the frost kills the
vines. The cultivation of the late crop
is similar to that employed in the case
of the early crop.—U. S. Department
of Agriculture.
Squash.
There are two types of squash—the
bush varieties, which may be planted
5 and 6 seeds to the hill in hills
4 or 5 feet apart each way, and
the running varieties which require
considerable more room for their de­

Is well mixed with rotted manure.
Squash for summer use should be
planted as soon as the ground is thor­

THE GREAT WAR HAS MADE
CIGARETTES A NECESSITY.
“Our boya must have their smokes.
Send them cigarettes!” This is a
familiar appeal now to all of us.
Among those most in demand is
the now famous “toasted''cigarette—
LUCKY STRIKE. Thousands of this
favorite brand have been shipped to
France. There is something home­
like and friendly to the boys in the
sight of the familiar green packages
with the red circle.
This homelike, appetising quality
of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette is
largely due to the fact that the Burley
tobacco used in making it has been
toasted. “It's toasted" was the “slo­
gan" that made a great success of
LUCKY STRIKE in less than a year.
Now the American Tobacco Co. is
making IS million LUCKY STRIKE
Cigarettes a day.
A good part of this immense pro­
duction is making its way across the
water to cheer our boys. The Red
Cross has distributed thousands of
LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes.
Turnips.
The turnip requires a rich soil and
may be grown either as an early or
late crop. For an early crop, sow the
seeds in drills 12 to 18 Inches apart
as early in the spring as the condition
of the soil will permit. A half-ounce
of seed Is sufficient for a 100-foot row.
After the plants appear thin to about
3 inches apart.
The roots will be
ready for use before hot weather.
For late turnips, the seeds are usu­
ally sown broadcast on land from
which some early crop has been re­
moved, and for this reason the turnip
Is a good crop to grow for storage
for winter.
They are quite hardy,
and the roots need not be gathered
until after the first frosts. They may
be stored in banks or pits or in the
out-door cave or cellar, and keep best
when kept rather cool.
The turnip is a good crop for inter­
planting between rows of late corn or
late beans.—U. 8. Department of Agri­
culture.

The seed for eggplant should be
sown tn the hotbed about six weeks
before the time to set the plants In
the open. The eggplant Is a heat-lov-
Ing plant and cannot be successfully
planted until the ground has become
warm and the weather settled.
The soil best adapted to the egg
plant Is a rich, sandy loam, well
drained The plants should be set in
rows 3 feet apart, with the plants 2
feet apart In the rows. Cultivation
should be frequent and thorough.
Fresh manure should not be need on
eggplant, but well-rotted manure may
be applied freely.
In tact, there Is
little danger of getting the ground
too rich. Eggplants may be used as
soon aa large enough and cannot be
kept for any length of time.—U. S. De-
partroeut of Agriculture.
