POTATO PRODUCTION
The ave 'age yield of potatoes per
ware in Ontario in 1010 wee 53 bushels.
The next lowest yield iu the last
thirty-five yeast warp 70 and the avers
age annual yield for the whole period
114 bushels per sore, ()onsidering

:arta to 1016 Were as fullowett Potatoes,
Mt Turnips and other field roots, $70;
Beans, $03; Husking corn. $30; and
Fall Wheat, $33. It will be seen that
the highest returns were obtained.
from the cultivated crops.
According to present prices, the
food value of rice purchased for one
dollar is equal to that of potatoes
matting two dollars. Rice can be used
es a vegetable to take the place of
potatoes. Seed _potatoes are exceed-
ingly scarce and people throughout
the Province are eating potatotte
which should be retained for planting.
Those farmers are wise who retained
their potato crop for seeding purposes
even though they were criticized for
not bringing them to market. I would
suggest that those baying seed pots•
toes fur Bale, beyond local require-
ments would advertise in local, agrl•
cultured or daily papers.
In normal years, it ie economy to
cut good sized potatoes in seta varying
froesn one ounce to two Ounces each.
In the average of ten tests conducted
at Guelph in five years the following
average yields per acre were_ obtained
from good sized potatoes cut into
sizes of different weights au here in-
dicated; two ounces, 150 but,hels; one
ounce 130 bushels; one-half ounce, 109
bushels; one quarter ounce, 98 bushels;
o re-eighth•uunce, 70 bushels=; and one -
sixteenth ounce, 37 bushels. Small
potatoes are frequently pr educed from
scrubs or from diseased tubers, The
potatoes produced in Ontario in 1910,
however, were exceptionally free from
rot and were unusually small owing
to the growth being arrested by un-
favorable weather condition% Pota-
toes did not thoroughly mature last
autumn and immature potatoes are
inferior for table use but make excel-
lent Need., At this particular time,
therefore, potatoee, the size of hene'
eggs or even mailer, might be used
for seed to good advantage. These
could be cut into pieces even as
small as one•gtiarter ouace each
and could be planted in rows
twenty-eight inches apart with
the pieces twelve to fifteen inches
apart in the rows. They should be
planted the same day that they are
cut. Where good seed is unobtain•
able whole potatoes not more than
onte quarter to one-half ounce in size
might ba planted with the pros-
pect of receiving moderate returns.
It would be an advantage to spread
out the small potatoes in a wzrm
light room for two or three weeks to
allow them to sprout before planting.
The usual time for planting potatoes
for best results is from the 15th to the
25:h of May. Potatoes do well on sod
land. If it is impossible to get the
land ready before the time mentioned,
the sod might be plowed to a depth of
about four inches and the potatoes
planted in every third farrow; after
which the land could be rolled immedi-
ately and then harrowed to press the
soil around the potatoes and to con-
serve moisture.
According to present indications,
the acreage of potatoes will be less
than usual this year. ,
With the possibility of a famine in
food meteriais, great care :,hould be
exercised by both the farmers and the
city gardeners in growing the crepe of
highest value, iii using the best seed
obtainable and in economizing labour.

ALFRED ROSE, Belle River, Ontario
says:
"I bought several tons of Homestead
Fertilizer last spring and used some on
Spring wheat. It did exceptionally
well,—yielded beyond everybody's ex-
pectatione. I also used a ton on
twelve acres of .sugar beets sown with
a fertlizer attachment. It was remark-
able how it helped the growth, and
during the dry spell of weather my
beets remained green anis thrifty
while my neighbor's beets that had
no fertilizer became yellow,
I find Homestead Bone Black ferti-
lizer does even more good than claim-
ed for it. 't
GOOD START—BETTER COLOR
H. EOFT, liderton, Ona, tate e:
"I used Homestead Bone 13:tick Fer-

from what I have seen I think it pays
to sow Fertilizer. It gives the wheat a
good start and keeps it a better color."

Some of aur vegetrehltes are very
tender and should not be planted
until after all danger (.f •frost in over.
It must be remembered that because
the soil is ready to reecho the plants
it is not absolutely necessary that
the grower should set tho plants out.
Pots laewh
Mayatoeand peven theeted fioutrst botof Juneeeu 24twill
give excellent results. Tomatos may
be set out after the 6tli of June and
good returns expected, as some sea-
sons a severe frost df3stroys many
tomato plants as late as June 6th.
Vine crops such as cucumber and
squash may bo planted after all dan-
ger of frost is over.
POTATOES. Potatoes are one
crop which may be planted on land
which is coil'sidered to be in a very
rough condition. Possibly there is
no better crop to be planted on land
which has been in sod for a number
of years. Medium-sized tubers of
good quality should he secured and
they should be cut so that there aro
at least two eyes in eaeh-ptiece or set.
It is a good plan in a smsall garden
to have the soil prepared fairly well,
then cut the seed and commence
planting. Furrows may be made with
the hoe about six inches deep and
two feet apart. The sets may be
placed twelve—inches apart in the
bottom of the furrow and should be
covered with two inches of soil. This
will leave the young plant more or
less in a trench. As the plants
grow the soil will be gradually drag -
ed up and the trench will be filled.
It will be necessary to cultivate the
soil between the rows so -as to keep
down weeds, and at the same time
soil should be gradually drawn up to
the tops in sufficient quantities so
that the growing roots will not be
exposed to the sunlight, which will
cause them to turn green and be of
inferior quality. If an early variety
has been planted and a vigorous
growth has resulted it is possible
that tome may be fit to dig in August.
By removing some of the soil from
around a hill with the hand one can
tell whether they are fit to dig. If
the potatoes are grown for winter
use they do not need to be dug until
quite late in the fall. The tops will
-die down at the first frost, but it is
not absolutely necessary that they be
dug immediately. They should, how-
ever, be dug before there is any
severe frost.
TOMATOES. The totilato is one
of the most popular vegetables
either fresh or In a preserved.con-
dition. It may be grown quite easily
in the backyard. The better practice
with tomatoes is to purchase the
plants ready for transplanting rather
titan attempting to grow these plants
if one has not had experience in
handling a hot -bed. Plants having a
large root system are hest, and the
stock- in any case should at least be
the size of a lead pencil, The soil
should be thoroughly prepared be-
fore planting time, possibly a crop of
lettuce or radish may be taken from
the same, but it is always advisable
to have plenty of manure incorpor-
ated iu the soil. A shallow hole may
be made with the common hoe to in-
sert the roots of the tomato plant.
These roots !should ,be thoroughly
watered so that the soil will cling
close to the roots when they are set
out in the garden. The plant should
be 'set fairly deep and the earth
should be firmed a1•ound the roots.
If the season is dry and hot, water
may be poured around the plant in
order to facilitate growth. These
Olants may be set two feet apart if
,,,:ey are to be trained on stakes and
kepi from covering a large space in
':w garden. These stakes should bs
;.reiu:abiy six feet long; two Welles
wide, and one inch •thick. They may
bo driven into the soil a few days
after the plant has been sot out anti
the plants tied lip to the stick with
a piece of twine or cotton it: such a
manner that the tie will be directly
under the leaf. As the "plant de-
velopes in size in front of each leaf
a slender growth called a side shoot
will appear, Tbese must be removed
by pressing them out with the thumb
when very small, Four or five tie's

CELERY Celery may be grown in
many garden soils if they have been
heavily dressed With manure, For
the backyard gardener it will be
much better if the plants are se-
cured ready for setting out about
the 24th of May. All the plants
should be Set on the level from six
to eight inches apart in the row and
from two feet to thirty inches be-
tween the rows. It will be round
necessary to water celery more than
any other crop in the garden, and the
soil between the rows should he
Stirred constantly. In the tali when
the ct:iery lige reached sufficient
height it will be found necessary to
blanch it. Possibly tho best me•
thod being to stand twelve hell
boards against the ro s of plants,
bolding them in position with stakes
at each end. In from ten days to
two weeks the celery plants will have
grown considerably, and owing to
the exclusion of the light Will have
become fairly well whitened, Which
Improves the quality. The celery
plants should be used as soon as pos-
sible after bleaching. Other Methods
Of bleaching celery are the drawing
of earth tip around the plant grad-
ually, eommolteing wheu the head of
the plants :are about four 'anther
above the ground, Brown paper Is
