$4,000 A YEAR 1N POTATOES
Rotation. is Important in Getting Maximum Returns From Each
Year's Crop.
LATEST MACHINERY ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS.
"This year I sold from a twelve -
acre patch $1;200 worth of pota-
toes. . I have paid for the • land
three or, four times *ith potatoes,
and some years potatoes were
pretty cheap" --thus said Fred A.
Johnson, of Port Stanley, potato
farmer.
The growing of potatoes on Cana-
dian farms is apt to take one or two
forms: it may be a highly -special-
ized industry, to which other farm
work constitutes a mere ground
work, or it may be merely one es-
pecially -lucrative phase of manifold
farm activity, In either case the
result is the same. Possibly no
farm crop is, ab all times, more in
demand than the modern form of
• that esculent first called by the
Spaniards "batata," Certainly no
crop will show a better proportion-
ate profit, all things considered,
year in and year out, than the ubi-
quitous potato.
The writer (las found on Ontario
farms, splendid examples of these
two .phases of potato -growing. Let
us first briefly consider -the case of
a man who has become rather an
expert, a specialist. I first heard
him described in the city of St.
Thomas as "Johnson, the potato
man," and at once went to visit
hirer. Fred A. Johnson lives on a
hundred and fifty acre farm very
near the village of Port Stanley,
on Lake Erie. When he moved to
his present.plaee forty-three years
ago, he put in' five acres of pota-
toes and in no single year since
has he failed of a crop. Space for-
bids a detaailed explanation of this
expert's methods, but a few facts
may here be set down that should
be of 'value to farmers throughout
the Province.
Of the entire 150 acre area of the
farm, twenty-eight acres are de-
• voted to potatoes. Tilos area com-
prises two folds of ten and eigh-
teen acres, respectively, and in
two fields, each of this size, the an-
nual crop is produced, part of a
scientific rotation. In preparing a
field for potatoes, Mr. Johnson frsb
grows a crop of oats, seeded down
with clover. While the first crop of
clover is cut for hay, the second is
left on the ground, and the mat
thus formed is plowed under the
following spring, Clover, by the
way, Mr. Johnson regards es abso-
lutely invaluable for use on the
potato ground. When spring
comps, plowing and diming are
done, barnyard manure being ap-
plied at the rate of twelve to fif-
teen loads per acro. Should the
supply of manure be exhausted, a
fertilizer 3 co aldrin of potash

( )t
(
o d
phosphate (06%) is applied by
mesas of a fertilizer drilll. The
two -horse cultivator, and this oper-
ation is repeated from 'five to seven
times, at intervals of ,a few days.
Owing to the close proximity of
the United States gardens, with
their early varieties, Mr. Johnson
prefers to handle late potatoes.
Planting, for the most part, is done
the first week in June. Just here it
might be mentioned that, on this
favm, seed -cutting is done by hand,
the proprietors having found that,
no matter how efficient the machine
used, spuds went to the fields with-
out the necessary "eye." As Mr.
Johnson said, "When every potato
means two or three cents, one must
be careful that there is an- eye on
each piece planted," The planting
is completed by about the loth of
June, and thereafter comes con-
tinuous cultivation. After the seed
has been planted for a week, the
ground is harrowed lightly, and a
week or so later a cultivator, with
hillers, is used. Once the plants
appear above the surface, cultiva-
tion continues at intervals of one
week during the entiie growing
season,
A one-horse hiller is used after
the plants attain a fair growth.
Then coaled spraying.
"We use an American machine,"
Mr.,.Johnson said, "a one-horse af-
fair, by means of which the driver,
with a simple pressure on the foot
brake, directs the spray over eight
rows on each trip up and down the
field. We use a paris green spray
for brigs, as, in nay forty-three
years' experience I have never had
a ease of blight or rot. In the last
two years 1 have sold 15,000 bush-
els of potatoes to my St. Thomas
euetomers alone, and I have yet to
hear of one single bad potato. This
year we will pick about 6,000 bush-
els, as usual, and I. venture to say
that here won't .be a quart measure
full of potatoes unfit for the best
market. If you select your seed
and keep your plants healthy and
your soil clean, you need not bother
spraying for rot or blight."
There is no hand-picking on this
potato farm. A four -horse potato -
picker is nser—an American ma-
chine, also—and does tho work in a
wonderful manner. As the steel
share uproots the potatoes, they
are thrown on a revolving chain -
carrier which deposits them in a
box carried .below the driver's
seat, A boy wanks behind the ma-
chine, removing the filled bodes
and replacing them with "emp-
ties," which have previously been
deposited tot intervals along the
rows.
"That machine east me as muoh
Md. binder, but I wouldn't be with-
out it at any pricey" Mr, Johnson
soil is after manuring or fox -tills- said, "Nowadays ono must use the
ing, thoroughly cultivated with a latest maohinery if he is to keep up
with the last -Changing conditions,
Growing over twenty-five e acres of
potatoes, we _tan never go hack to
the old system of hand-picking."
The Johnson potatoes are stored
for the time being, and later on
marketed. Mr. Johnson has over
forty private customers in the city
of St. Thomas, including hotel's,
colleges, stores, etc., and, as he
says, "St. Thomas will take all the
potatoes I can send it." Besides,
should he care to neglect his local
market, he can easily dispose of his
crop each year in . answer to• -de-
mands made upon hien' by United
States dealers and buyers. '
Now, as to seed—you couldn't
sell Mr. Johnson any, be your
specimens ever so perfect. • He be-
lieves in seed • selection from his
own crop, and his great success has
justified bit policy. On no account
would he buy seed from an out-
sider. No variety, he says, will
ever t`run out" if properly propa-
gated by intelligent selection. His
favorite `late" varieties are the
Worley and the Carmen, the latter
of which he has grown continuously
for a quarter, of a century. Mr.
Johnson will not put the Carmen on
the market till after the month of
January, as not till then, he be-
lieves, does it attain perfection for
table use.
The writer regrets that he is un-
able to reproduce here a portion of
what is probably the most complete
and unique book of farm accounting
to be found in Canada. "My books
show that my first sale from this
farm, forty-three years ago, was 54
lbs. of wool at 54 cents a pound,"
read Mr. Johnson from his ac-
counts. "From that date on, I
can.show a written record of every
transaction made on this farm, if.
only for a postage stamp."
Mention must needs be made of
this home, built, in no small mea-
sure from "potato money." It is
surely one of the finest to be found
on any Canadian farm, Such con-
veniences as a private acetylene
plant, dumb waiter, wood -elevator
from cellar to kitchen, and hot,
cold and soft water on tap, all con-
tribute to a hoane-life which appeals
to the visitor as truly admirable,
So much for one who has m,ad'e
itis twenty-eight acres of potatoes

periment. Let ata now burn for a
Moment to the caseof an .Erin
township farmer, Mr, Charles Bald-
win, who runs on ordinary mixed
farming principles some 200 acres
near the village of Hillsburg, On-
tario. Above all, first and fore-
most,
ore
most, be it understood that Mr.
Baldwin is a successful, praotioal,
all-round (armor; his work with
potatoes is in the way of a little
extra attention to a very common
crop. '
Three ysare .ago Mr. Baldwin sold
the potato Drop from afifteen acre
tirld for about $1,000. How snueh
prat? you asst. Mr. Baldwin puts
it this way':
"Frankly, I reckon that the po-
tato crop paysall farm -running and
minor expenses, leaving the returns
from other farm work for any other
use we desire,"

develop it perfectly. Practically
half of the hill weight of a horse is
gained during the first twelve
months of its life. If stunted dur'

velops properly: it, therefore. paws
to feed generously.

Little Bobby Beatem went, with
his mother to buy a pair of knick-
erbockers. When he ,had looked at
all the varieties in the store, he was
still dissatisfied, "I want that pair
in the window," he protested.
"'These are just exactly like them,"
assured the clerk, `:but if you want
that particular pair, I'll get them
for you." And he produced them,
much to Bobby's satisfaction. They •
bore asign which read, "These
knickerbockers cannot be beat,"
