The notate is one of our most im- portant food crops and yet it is one that very often does not receive the attention it should. It is the prac- tice of many farmers to leave the planting of potatoes until practically all other crops are in, With the ex- ception of, perhaps, some parts of the Maritime Provinces this late planting means a much smaller yield than there would be if the planting were done before the middle or by the middle of May. By the end of May or begining of June the seed po- tatoes have sprouted so touch that when these are broken off at plant- ing time the new shoots will not come on with the sante vigour as they did early in the season. Furthermore it is important for the potato to get a good root system before the hot wea- ther sets in. It is of the greatest importance to use good seed. Two lots of seed of the same variety which look very much alike may give a difference of three• hundred or more busheds per acre in the crop, as has been shown in experiments at the Experimental Farm, Ottawa. In 1919, for instance, one lot of Irish Cobbler yielded at the rate of 378 bushels per acre and another 37 bushels per acre. The best Green Mountain stock yielded 330 bushels per acre and one of the poorest 46 bushels per acre. If possible, one should ltnoty where the seed was grown the previous year that he is about to use. If it cane from a erop, the plants of which grew until cut .down by the. frost, tion, if free from disease, it will, as a rule, yield a much better crop than if it was front, a crop, the plants of whish withered in the middle of summer and the tubers lay in hot soil the rest of the season. This year when the price of potatoes is so high there will be a temptation to use small potatoes for seed. If these small potatoes come from a good crop the previous year the results are are likely to be satisfactory, if the season le favorable but if they are from a small crop the previous year when the plants dried up early the results are likely to be weak and the yield not very good. Good sized sets of from one and a half to ttvo ounces have been found tate most satisfactory tak- ing one' year with another, although if the season is particularly favour- able smaller sets will produce a good crop but one comet tell what the season will 'be, hence it is bettor to be on tha safe side, The distance of planting which has been found most economical in most places in Canada is, rows two and a half to three feet apart and sots twelve to fourteen inches apart in the rows, While p,lite shallow plant - lug given the highest average yields at Ottawa, it le necessary to plant about four inches deep for field culture to enable ono to harrow he.
