The great importance of the potato
crop, and the near approach of the
season for planting it, justify us in
devoting our space this week largely
to its consideration.
A Novel Potato Goutest.
A novel contest in the culture of
the i>otato has been going on the
past summer among a few members
of the Franklin, Mass., Farmers'
Club, which may prove of interest to
others outside the association. The
contest was started by Monroe Morse,
a successful cultivator of this crop,
who challenged any of all the mem
l>ers of the Club to compete with him
for the largest and best crop of pota
toes grown upon a single square rod
of ground, the competitor who should
show the Ijest yield being entitled to
the product of all the other compet
ing rods—size and smoothness both
to be considered. Competitors were
required to plant from the same lot
of seed, a barrel of Early Hose pur
chased in Boston being provided by
the challenger for that purpose.
Rules for measuring the ground
were adopted, and each planter was
restricted from planting nearer to
the outside lines than allowed ly the
rules, unless he chose to select a rod
from a potato field, in which cose the
lines must extend only to the middle
of the adjoining spaces between the
rows. Ten members accepted the
challenge, making the number of
competitors eleven. The potatoes
grown were placed on exhibition at
the meeting of the club, at the resi
dence of Wra. E. Xason, Oct. 4, and
statements concerning the methods
of culture placed on file with the sec
retary. The reports show as wide a
ditlerence in the methods adopted as
iu the quantity and quality of the
crops presented. Below we give the
names of the competitors, with the
number of pounds grown by each,
commencing with the smallest yield :
S. F. Sargent 38j pound*
A. C. HuHani 515 "
AVm. Mann 7ft "
Win. Aiiuni* 78 "
O. S. Hancock VII "
Monroe Morau Oft "
James Hood 125| "
Alfred Clark- 132
8. W. Squire 169 "
A. W. Cheever.. 18ft "
V. R. Warren was a competitor,
but by mistake his rod was dug and
the potatoes consumed without weigh
ing. The small yields obtained by
Messrs. Sargent, Bullard, Mann,
Hancock and Morse were due solely
to the failure of the seed in germinat
ing—more than half of Mr. Sargent's
failing to grow, and nearly half of
those planted by Messrs. Bullard,
Mann, Hancock and Morse. To pr •
mote smoothness, Mr. Sargent laid
rye straw iu the bottom of the drills,
planting the sets upon the top and
then covering with soil. For the
same purpose Mr. Bullard used forest
leaves in the bottom of his drills. As
the season was dry at the time of
planting, and for some time after
ward, this proved a serious damage,
although the quality of their product
was unexcelled. iMessrs. Hancock,
Clark, AdamH and Rood depended
chiefly upon stable manure, while
Messrs. Morse, Bullard, Sargent,
Squire, Mann aud Cheever used prin
cipally guano and other commercial
fertilizers. Mr. Adams, we believe,
applied considerable potash in the
form of spent lye, and from this or
other causes had a very inferior crop
of scabby potatoes. Mr. Squire used
Peruvian guano at the rate of 800
jiounds per acre, and sulphate of pot
ash 200 pounds per acre. Mr. Han
cock applied a two-horse cart load of
stable manure to the rod, plowed in,
and nine pounds guano sprinkled in
the hills. Mr. Cheever plowed in a
light coat of manure, and applied
guano and sulphate of potash, at the
rate of 1,000 pounds of the former
and 400 of the latter per acre. Mr.
Morse used 800 pounds of guano and
200 pounds potash per acre. Mr.
Clark applied stable manure freely
and watered the ground occasionally
after the potatoes were growing, with
a solution of hog manure and poultry
droppings. Mr. Hood used a spoon
ful of Bradley's superphosphate in
the hill. Mes|rs. Hancock, Hood
and Adams had each about fifty hills
while Mr. Clark had 12." hills. Mr.
Squire planted in five double rows or
drills, the seed being just twelve
inches apart each way, with room for
horse cultivation between. Mr. Morse
practiced horse cultivation exclusive
ly, never using a hand hoe at all, ei
ther in covering or tending the crop,
while Messrs. Cl-rk, Hood and
Cheever cultivated by hand exclus
ively Mr. Hquire cut his seed in
halves, planting one piece in a plaee.
Mr. Mann used pieces with two eyes,
while most of the others were cut to
single eyes. Mr. Hood cut his seed
two weeks before planting, and found
it much dried, but only one hill fail
ed. The lots were planted from
May (>, to June 8, and were dug at
three diHerein periods, several com
petitors being in each case present
and taking part in the measuring of
the land, and weighing the crop.
By mutual agreement the competi
tors were required to act also as
judges, and, after Inspecting the sev
eral yields, they unanimously decid
ed that the 13.1-pound lot, though
not quite equal in quality to two or
three of the smaller lots, was, never
theless, on account of both quantity
and quality, entitled to the first place
on the lis>. The 1,01.1 pounds, or 10
53-00 bushels of potatoes, growji on
ten square rods by ten competitors,
was, therefore, awarded to A. W.
Cheever, who in response to the an
nouncement stated that although at
the earnest solicitation of his friend,
Mr. Morse, the challenger, he had
joined in the conqietitioii, and hud
done his ls-st to give some one a
handsome yield of potatoes, yet with
his well-known views concerning the
injurious tendency of all forms of
games of chance iu which one man's
luck is aliothcr man's loss, he could
i accept only those grown upon his
own plot; and as parties had ex
pressed a desire to secure seed for
planting froin these trial lots, he
would direct that they be sold at
auction, the proceeds to lie placed in
the treasury of the club, to be used
towards paying for a lecture during
the coming winter. The other com
pcliiors agreeing to the same ar
rangement, the whole lot was sold,
netting to the club the sum of 811.47,
thus closing a conqietitivc trial in
which valuable experience had been
gained by ail and without loss to any.
The following is the
STATEMENT OF A. W. CIIEEVKR!
The land on which I grew the trial
rod of potatoes has been under culti
vation several years, producing chief
ly forage crops. Last year it pro
duced a crop of rye fodder and a
! crop,of oat fodder, and these were
followed by a crop of barley, eaeh
I crop being manured either with stable
i manure or commercial fertilizers. The
' soil is a heavy loam exposed to the
| East, quite moist early in the season,
; so that an early plowing caused it to
i form somewhat into lumps which
1 remained tin pulverized during the
' season. It was plowed but once this
; year, a light coat of stable manure
| being turned in about seven inches
| deep. This was somewhat mixed
with the soil by deep cultivation after
plowing. The rows were marked out
with a large cultivator tooth aliout
eighteen inches apart, run quite shal
low, so that the potato sets, when
planted, were scarcely below the
surface of the ground.
Before planting, about 800 pounds
| of guano, and 400 pounds of sulphate
, potash, per acre, were spread broad
| cast over the furrows. The seed was
I prepared by exposure several days to
! a strong light, to start the sprouts
into a short, healthy growth. When
ready to plant, single eyes were out
from the seed, selecting only those
which were well started and of good,
strong appearance. Most of the eyes
i were cut from the stem end or middle
.of the |x>tato, where considerable
! potato could be taken out with each
1 eye. As they were cut, they were
laid in a basket, with plaster dusted
over tliem in sufficient quantity to
cover the cut surface, and to partially
protect the sprouts from bruising
while being handled. The pieces
were dropped singly, and about four
teen inches apart, the whole amount
of ground planted in this way being
from two to three roils.
The sets were covered by hand not
over an inch deep. J list as the shoots
were breaking ground, the plot was
dusted over with guano, at the rate
of 200 pounds per acre, and then
raked into the soil with a garden
rake, killing, at the same time, all the
small weeds which had started. As
the potatoes were so near the surface,
and so thickly planted, it was found
impracticable to hill them in the
ordinary way, so the ground was
mulched with chorqicd straw for a
protection, not only against weeds,
but to keep the new [otatoes from
being sunburnt as they showed them
selves above the surface. The mulch
also, in a measure, secured a cool,
moist soil, during the hot, dry
weather of midsummer. The straw
was put on aomc three inches deep,
I nit soon settled to one inch, and was
then covered with a second coat of
mulch which remained undisturbed
till digging time.
To keep the bugs in check, a
sprinkling of dry plaster was used
three or four times, with just enough
Paris green to shade the plaster,
giving it a slight greenish tinge. A
very lew weeds were pulled by hand
during the season of growth, but it
was the aim to travel over the patch
just as little as possible, as tbe plants
covered nearly the whole surface.
The rod of land was measured off
from near the centre of thqppatcb, at
time, by Horace Morse and
8. W. Squire, and tbe potatoes
weighed by Mr. Morse, who certifies
that there were 188 pounds—a yield
per acre equal to 488 bushels. The
most Important lesson I have learned
by the experiment is that potatoes
mint have room to grow tinder ground,
or the yield will be dim in is bed and
the quality impaired. I would never
plant so near the snrface again, and
with an equally favorable season
should expect to do better nnother
year.
Manuring Potatoes,
It is a mistaken idea, that some
arc affected with, to suppose that
potatoes can IK* grown upon a poor
Koil or with a small quantity of man
ure or fertilizer. The potato is by
no mcAna an exception to the general
rule that all farm crops require fer
tility to their perfect and successful
development.
In order to produce 100 bushels ol
potatoes, with the average quantity of
tops, requires of the chief elements of
plant growth—nitrogen or ammonia,
phosphoric acid, and potash—the
following quantities : Ammonia 22.50
lbs., phosphoric acid 51 I Its., and
p itttsh 179 lbs., being one third more
phosphoric aeid and two and one-half
times us much |K>lash as is required
to produce 58 bushels of Indian corn.
Prom this fact it is evident that
potatoes may well follow Indian corn
and vice verm. In raising potatoes
the deliciency in necessary fertilizing
material is likely to occur in phos
phoric acid and potash, which is one
cause of the constitutional deteriora
tion of this plant on innny farms. It
makes little difference how these
elements are supplied; ashes are
excellent for supplying the potash,
j but no mnttcr how large the quantity
| of this ingredient, if the phosplibric
acid is wanting the crop will corros
i pondingly fail. And the only advan
! tage of an over-application of any
iugiedicnt is that it is thereby stored
jin the soil and held in reserve for
future crops. It is frequently adran
i tageous to plant potatoes upon green
I sward, hut our practice has been
| rather to follow a corn crop, in which
case the soil is mellow and better
; adapted to the use of horse labor in
| the planting than green sward ; and
| again, if the soil has been pro|K*rly
manured, it is partially prepared for
a clop of potatoes. Our practice has
lieen to follow com that has IK-CH
, well manured, and only manure the
|Kitatoes in the hill, getting good
crops. When we think the soil is
somewhat deficient in manure a quan
lity is spread and plowed in, although
; the other course is to IKS preferred.
Upon an examination of tattles
| containing the valuable constituents
lof manure, it is found that horse
manure is more valuable in its combi
nation of these constituents, adapted
! to the production of the ]K>tato, than
i nny other farm manure. Horse inan
j ure, iu its natural undricd state,
contains 12.2 lb*, of phosphoric acid,
;28 llis. of potash and 5.4 lbs. of
nitrogen or 6.5 lbs. of ammonia in
every 1,000 lb*. From this it is clear
Ito be seen that by an application of
< three and one-half tons of this man
ure, 100 bushels of [K>tat<K*s should
'be producer!. This accords exactly
; with our ex|>erienee; we have had
better results from the use of horse
I manure with potatoes than with any
other kind, iu careful tests.
This should IK; the study of the
farmer—if there is any tq>ecial adapt
ability of manures to particular crops,
whereby far better general results can
be obtained, they should lie so em
ployed. There should always be a
proportionate supply of nil uecessary
constituents or else there is a loss in
the use of those portions that can not
lie appropriated by the crop. I,i
growing crops, if a manure is applied
; that furnishes a large surplus of orte
constituent, that lies unappropriated
until some rotation that requires its
u usc. This is very well where one
of manure is left to satisfy
I a rotation; then the care must be
j exercised in ths selection of the
1 rotating crops, but in annual fertiliz
| ing the fertilizing material should lie
made as nearly as can lie In accord
ance with the demands of the crop,
W. 11. Y ROMANS.
Mulching Potatoes.
from lb' Country Omlltnun.
It pays to mulch potatoes. Straw
pretty well rotted makes about as
food a general covering as anything,
f the ground needs fertility, coarse
manure is preferable. Any coarse
material—weeds, swamp grass, un
rottcd straw—has its good effect.
Apply as soon as the cultivator is
withdrawn. The benefit is more than
is usually supposed. It keeps the
ground moist and cool, two condi
tions essential to the bust success of
this plant. Weeds also are kept
down; the ground retains Its mellow
ness, the mulch preventing the rain
from packing it, and the sun ftom
baking it, and when worked for the
crop, will be found in a decidedly
improved condition, the mulch by
that time being decayed and mixing
with tho soil. The soil will be
cleaner, richer and mellower.
I HAVE been very successful in
raising potatoes under straw in the
following manner: Put tho laud in
good order by plowing, rolling, har
rowing, Ac.; lay off rows two feet
apart, and pot one piece in a place,
one foot apart; cut small—not more
than two eyes. Cover in the usual
manner with plow or hoe, and when
the potatoes first begin to come up,
cover them ten inches deep with
straw or prairie hay. in tho fall,
when you go to dig, rake ofl the
straw from a few rows at a time with
a horse-rake. After the digging is
done, plow the straw for manure.
Burbank Seedling Potato.
This sort stands to-day at the bead
of all the new potatoes. It has the
vigor of the Peerless and Peach blow,
giving remunerative crops on poor
and grand returns on rich soil. The
lienutiful color of the tops and their
freedom from blight of the leaves, is
in pleasing contract to all the other
varieties in cultivation, The stalks
are many and long, covering and
shading the whole ground, preventing
the growth of weeds and grass, in
fields of lazy cultivators. The pota
toes are long, roundish and white, of
uniform size, and great 1 beauty. In
healthfuliicHs they ure unsurprssed.
11l yield they equal the Peerless, un
der the same culture. In quality
they are all one can desire.
Potato Culture.
For the past twenty years my
practice has la-en to plant the largest
of the small ones,cutting two eyes on
a piece ami putting three pieces in a
hill, and, us every eye will not come,
I intend to have three or four stalks
to a hill. If you get twelve or four
teen stalks to a hill you will surely
have small potatoes, for there is just
as much impropriety in oversceding
potatoes aH corn. When seeded light
the vines grow strong and erect, ad
mit the sun ami air to the ground,
thus tending to prevent disease and
blight. When overseeded the vines
grow slender, are liable to break
down, retain the moisture of the
| ground, mildew and prematurely de
cay. I believe the only advantage
derived from planting large jiotutoes
j is the extra amount of starch secreted,
ami that, the other hand, is more
than made up by the gain in seed ami
j the slight cost of the small ones.
A At'liscuißKß in (ioshen writes
with reference to the potato disease :
[ "Many fields have not rotted at all,
and I am satisfied that it is worst
where green manure is applied. My
way has been to plant corn on turf
with plenty of manure, then the next
year potatoes, manuring in the hill,
with some concentrated fertilizer.
The Beauty of Hebron has not rotted
as Id as the Early Uose with same
treatment.
IN raising potatoes, wood ashes are
one of the best fertilizers that can IK*
found for that purpose. Hood soil
and a clover sod will raise potatoes,
if they have good cultivation. Our
new varieties will stand more manure
than the older kinds, as they were
originated ami raised by high culti
vation.
