He also told of the great need of better pas- ture land as this was the most valuable feed of all and that ploughing and re- seeding with plenty of fertilizer was a very good thing, He said we are not getting out of our farms today what we should as it wasn't the quant- ity of land owned but how it was worked and treated.

PROPER WAY TO CUT POTATOES FOR SEED What is the best way to cut potatoes when it conies time to plant them? They should not be cut into too many pieces, nor planted in too large chunks, The proper way to cut.potatoes for seed it to divide them into blocky seed pieces weighing from an ounce and a half to two ounces each and with each piece containing two eyes: The tuber's seed end, which contains the most eyes, should be split. The number of seed pieces which should be cut from any potato depends on its variety and on its size. For ex- ample, a six to eight ounce tuber should make four seed pieces, A five ounce tuber can be cut into three pleces--,-two from the seed end, and the other, the stem end of the tuber.
