A hen cannot lay a large number of
eggs unless fed the proper egg form
ing material. A little grain, a little
beef scrap or milk added to a little
wheat bran and shorts and com meal
with a little green feed will give sur
prising results in egg production. It
is not the cheapest feed that pays
but the kind that contains the most
egg forming elements. Careless or
improper feeding is a waste of time

GROW MORE POTATOES.
By J. S. Knox, Horticulturist, Agri
cultural Extension Division, Univer
sity of Arkansas.
No other vegetable is of so great
importance to the world at the pres
ent time as is the Irish potato. That
the United States and her allies will
need a larger amount of these this
year than ever before is the opinion of
those who are in a position to know.
Arkansas can help wonderfully in the
production of this extra amount of
potatoes if every farmer, whether ten
ant or land owner, will plant from
one-half to one acre qf potatoes this
spring.
The importance of good seed can
not be over-estimated. No matter
what the soil may be, or how ideal tha
climate, rainfall or cultivation, we
cannot hope for a maximum yield
from poor seed. If you have a supply j
of home grown potatoes from your
fall crop that are in good condition
plant these. All potatoes wheth
er or not disease can be seen on them
should be disinfectd before planting.
This is done by soaking the potatoes
for two hours in a solution made by
mixing one pint of 40 per cent formal
dehyde with 30 gallons of water. The
treatment should be made just before
the potatoes are to be cut for plant
ing.
The question of fertilizers is one
which is not given enough considera
tion by the average grower. In the
potato section of the United States,
especially in the trucking sections
along the Atlantic coast, the farmers
use from 1.Q00 to 2,000 pounds of com
mercial fertilizer per acre. The
root system of the potato is
relatively small, thus making it neces
sary to have an abundance of availa
ble plant food for its use. If aa high
as 600 to 1,000 pounds of fertilizer Is
to be used per acre, it is considered
best to broadcast the greater part of
iti reserving 300 to 400 pounds to ap
ply ip the drill with the potatoes,
being sufe to mix this with the soil
before the potatoes are planted.
It is best to use at least medium
sized potatoes for planting and these
should be cut into small pieces. A
medium sized potato will usually
make from three to four pieces large
enough to plant, and if possible each
piece should have two eyes or sec
tions from which sprouts will come.
The; small potatoes do not furnish
Sufficient plant food to nourish the
young plants until they can get hold
on the soil; consequently weak plants
are produced. For the spring plant
ing a depth of about three inches is
considered sufficient to plant, but for
•the fall crop from four to six inches
is not too deep to plant because at
that time it is often the case that we
have to get down deeper to get suf
ficient moisture for the potato to
sprout.
It pays to keep the soil clean dur
ing the growing period of the potato.
It is doubted if eVer a deeper cultiva
tion than two or three inches is nec
essary. This should, however, be done
at least once every two weeks, or,
In case of rains, as soon thereafter
as the soil will permit. Along with
the cultivation should come the spray
ing of the vines to control bugs and
blight. The spraying seems to keep
the leaves in far better condition, and
In actual tests where bugs or blight
had been seen, the yield of potatoes
sprayed was better than those un
sprayed.
The Red Bliss or Bliss Triumph la
one of the very best early varieties
for us to grow. Eariy Ohio and Irish
Cobbler are also good. The early ma
turing varieties like the above are
