"This year I 'Sold from a, twelve - acre patch $1,200 worth el pota- toos 1 have 'paid for the and three or four times with potatoes, and soine years potatoes were pretty eheap"-thus said Fred A. Johnson, ,of Port ,Stanley, potato farmee. - The growing of potatoea 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 conetitute,s a mere ground work, or it maybe merely one es- pecially-lucratiae phase of manifold farm autivity. In either ;case the result is the same. Possibly no farm crop is, ate all times, more in demand than the modern form of that esculent first ealled by the Spaniards "batates." Certainly no crop will show a better proportion - ale profit, all thinge considered, year in and year out, than the ubi- quitous potato. The writer has found, on Ontario farmi4, splendid examples of these two phasee of potato -growing. Let its fust briefly consider the ease of a man who has become rather an expert., a specialist. I firat heard hist) deacribed in the city of St. Themes as "Johnson, tha pets& man," and at -once went to visit hint, Eyed A. Johnson lives on a hundred and fifty acre farm very near the village of Port Stanley, on Lake Erie, Wthen he movedto lti- it re sen t place 1 orty-three years el:- les Ina in five acres of pota- toca and in no single year 'since hes he failed .ef a crop, Space for- bids a detailed explanation of this eel:eta' s0 thuds, ti tub it few facts ;nay here be set down ;that should be or seine to f seine vs ' throughout • Peovince. _ . Of ehe entire 150 acre area of the fa stn. tw en tyeeight pares . are de- Ve'atitO Veto-Et:es. l'PhiS area, com- prieste two fickle of tee and Mesh- tei :I acres, respectively, and ,an , two 'fields; each of this size, the Co- astal crop is peak -feed; 'part) of a selentifie rotation. In ,preparing field for potatoes, Mr. lehnson neat grows a crop oi. oats, seeded down with clover. -While the first .crop of clover is cut foe hay, the second is left oe the ground, and the mat _ thus formed is plowed under the following spring. Clover, by the way; Mr, Johnson regards as abso- lutely invaluable for use on the potato. ground. When spring eoreete plowing and dieeing are .

The soil is, after manuring or 'fertiliz- ing, thoamighly .eultivated with a two -horse (cilativaster, and this oper- ation is repeated ir0Ia five to seven times, at intervals of a few days, Owing to the close proximity of theeeUnited States gaxaen$, with theff CaalY varieties, Mr. johneon prefers to handle date potatoes. ;Planting, for the most part, is done the first week in Jane. Just here i might be mentioned that, on thi /arm, seedsculting is done by hand peoprigtora having found that 92o :matter howeefficient the machine used, senida.wect to the, fields with- out the tannery "eye." As Mr, 5 Johnson said, "When every potato means two or three cents, one must. he careful that there is an eye on each piece planted." The planting completed by about the 10th of June, and thereafter wines ,eon- tinuous culbivation. 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 entire growing aeason. ' A one-horse hiller is used after the plants attain a fair growth. Than comes spraying. "We use an American ma,ehine," Mr. Johniion said, "a one -horn af- fair,' by means of which the driver, with a simple pa•essure 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 bugs, as, in my forty-three years' experience I have never had .case of blight or rot. In the last two years I have sold 15,000 bush- els of potatoes to my Sb. Thomas customers atone, and. I have yeb to hear of one single, bad potato. Talia year we will pick about 6,000 bush- els; as usual; and I venture to say that here won't be a quart measure fulil .of potatoes' unfit for the best market. If you select your seed and keep your planis.healthy and your soil clean, you need not bother spraying for rot or blight." There is no handpicking on this potato farm. A four -horse potato - packer is user-ans American ma- chine, also -and does the work in a wonderful manner, As the steel share uproots the potatoes, they are thrown on a revolving hain- carrior which depogta them in a hex carried below the driver's 'seat A boy walks behind the ma- ehine, removing the filled boxes and replacing them with "emp- ties,'' which have previoualy been deposited at intervals along the rows. "That machine ,cost me as much esti, binder, but I evoteldn't be with- out it at any price," Mr. Johnson said. "Nowadays one must use the latest machinery if he is to keep op with the fast -changing (conclitione. Growing over teventy-five acres of potatoes, we can Dever go back to the old systern of hand-picking." •-Tihe Johnson potatoes are stored for the time being, and later on marketed.

So much for one Who has made his twenty-eight acres DE potatoes elle object of special study and ex- periment.

Mr. Baldwin 121.110 it this, way: . "Frankly, I reckon that the po- tato erop pays all and minor expenses, leaving the returns from other farm work for any other use we desire." Mr, Baldwin each year plants by hand some twelve or fifteenaaeres, mostly of the Delaware variety, which he finds very popular on' On- tario Markets, Like Mr. Johnson, he finds heavy fertilization very e s se n tial a lid p r o fit e, and is 05 firan believer, .also, in :the virtue of consistent., thorough summer culti- vation of the potato ground. "We find potato -growing to work in well with gram .crops," 'Mr. Baldwin said to the -writer. "We generally sow grain on potato or turnip grouad and get excellent re- sults. ' How ead the ordinary farmer market :a big potato crop'? Mr. Baldwin:, at the time, of my visit, was throwing his energies into the forwarding of the echeme to form a Hillsburg Potato Growers' Anociation. "We grow good po- tatoes,"ethe amid, "and we want the public to feel .assured in ,clealing with lie. There are far too' ineePS' varieties at present, .and the only remedy I can see .is locat oeganiza- tion, whereby aJl the growers of one locality twill produce the same variety of potato."
