Ailiiitllng f nipt to Soil, When a man owns a farm of very sandy land ho makes a mistake to attempt to ralso crops which do best on heavy fertile boIIs, for in so doing be Is handicapped from tho start and will undoubtedly fall to realize his expectations, in farming the very first step is to try to adapt tho crops to the soil. In this we merely follow na ture's example. There are crops which will do well on nearly every kind of soil found In the country. Only a few barren soils refuse to produce any kind of crops. If there Is a proper amount of moisture even the pooreut sandy soil can be made to yield soma paying crop. Our corn requires rich, heavy soil, and so do most of our other heavy crops, and such cereals should be raised only on that kind of land. It requires only a little study and ex periment to find out pretty definitely what crops beet succeed on our farm. Farms that have been doclarod run down and too sandy to yield any crop profitably have been made paying in vestments by producing crops of strawberries, asparagus and onions. All that was required was the right sort of man to discover the crop adapt ed to the soil. The question of enriching the soil should not of course be neglected, even though a certain crop has been found to thrive on It. This is too often a short-sighted mistake which, sooner or later manifests Itself In an unpleas ant way. It It is a sandy soil there is something in it that supplies the strawberries, asparagus or other crop with nourishment. What Is It that the plants find In the soil to make them grow? This can be found out by ascertaining the special needs of the particular crop, If It la nitrogen, potash or phosphates a systematic feeding of the soil and crops with this particular form of fertiliser should be made. In this way the soil will not be robbed. A grent many snndy and loose, porous soils permit nearly alt fertility to leach through, and If Hill leak were stopped In some way there would be better results obtained wltii the crops, Hitch soil may require com mercial fertilisers In which the min eral clement a predominate, but at tho same tlmo they need coarse plant food or barnyard manure In order to Im prove the mechanical conditions of the soil. Hometlmes a liberal scattering of forest leaven ovpr tho land, and plowing under In the full, will do more go ld than anything else. These leaves will close up many of the holes, and at the snme time add some plant food to the soil, Coarse straw and barn yard litter performs the same scr. vice. 0. T. While, in American Cultivator. Tlii TlllnRi ff I'ntntnp. Every farmer Is Interested In In creasing his potato cr'ip, and the vari ous methods of growing potatoes al ways receive consideration. Recent experiments made at Cornell univer sity, under the supervision of J. I Htone, demonstrate to farmers tho applicability to their soils and condi tions of methods In potato culture that havo given excellent results. The farmers who have been requested to do so have also conducted experi ments on their farms, and thus as sIhIimI In arriving at conclusions re garding tho proper course to pursue In growing potatoes. The experiments extended over a period of Ave years, and all kinds of weather favorable and unfavorable prevailed. To show that much depends upon proper culti vation it may be mentioned that In IROTi tlio nverngo ylehl of potatoes for New York slate was 122 bushels, yet the maximum yield at the station was 4 1 5 biixhels, while n 1897. when tn average for Hip state was only fi'i bushel per acre, tho maximum yield on the station grounds was 322 bush els. In lKII'.l eleven plots averaged at the into of 195 bushels per acre, rnnglng f-om 144 to 233 bushels, al though the average for tho stato was only US bushels. During that year drought prevailed, and as the land was then becoming deficient In organic; matter Hie condition made tho crops moro liable to Injury from drought than formerly, but the thorough prep, aratlon mid tlllngn given tho plots pro duce! strong and vigorous plants, do splto t'ae severe drought of tho sum mer, though nn early frost killed tho tops lietore siifllclent lata rains had fallen to enable tlio plants to pro duce the usually lnrge yield, which, however, seeniel assured up to tho time of the unfortunate event. Tim large ylelilF.obt allied were secured liy thorough preparation of tho bind before planting, thereby developing In the soil an abundant supply of readily available plant food and scour lug tlio Btorage of a largo amount of water, accompanied by deep planting. followed by frequent and prolonged tlllngo of tho crop, thereby preventing wnsto of moisture by evaporation from I'.io surface of the soil or by transpira tion from the leaves of weeds, and at Hie same time bringing moro plant fi.o.l Into nvallnble condition. Also, and nn Important matter, .by main taining healthy and vigorous follngo on tlio plants dining the entlro season by spraying with llordeaux mixture and paihi green. A comparison of the mlmlmum and maximum yields of potntocg shows clearly that the large crops aro socured by proper cultiva tion. Tho best results at the station were obtained by combining tho twice plowing system (autumn and early fpring) with deep planting, In thor oughly fitted soil, and giving pro longed frequent, level tillage, and using Insecticides. Farmers who mado experiments got tho best yields from autumn and spring plowing only, whllo deep planting and level tillage showed a marked Increase In yields compared with shallow planting and hilling. These results were obtained on various farms, and are valuable to those who make the potato crop a speclulty. Many farmers are satisfied to culti vate their crop only whea necessity requires. They Jo not neglect tho crops, keeping down Jho weeds anl grass, but the experiments made at the Btalion and by the farmers who outdated show that cultivation does more; In fact, that tho more tho land Is cultivated tho larger tho crop. One farmer got 14 bushels moro of pota toes from land thai had been culti vated Ave times than from land cul tivated twice. Another plot that gave 187 bushels per acre was exceeded by an adjoining plot that had been culti vated Bevon times, which yielded 194 bushels per acre. It Is plain, there fore, that frequent cultivation la bene, ficlal. While deep planting gives bet ter results thaa shallow, yet deep planting should not follow shallow plowing that Is, the furrows opened to receive the seed should not go to the bottom of the soil that was stirred by the plow. If It g desired to plant six lnv'hes deep the land should be plowed eight Inches doep. If land has never been plowed doop then the plow should go down only on inch, more each year, plowing in the fall of the year. It Is well to understand also that better tillage and larger crops cause the removal of more plant food from the soil; hence the use of manure and fertilisers, or the growing of cover or sol crops to be plowed under should not be overlooked. If the farmer will give as much labor to the potato crop as ltreally demands be will suffer but little loss from drought, and his yields will be such as to pay all ex penses and return a profit.
