Planting Irish Potatoes.

potatoes says: “I have often heard it
said that if you plunt small potatoes
von would ruise small ones. To test
his matter, I planted two rows, one,
large potatoes cut to one and two
• yes in a piece, the other planted
'with very small ones, mostly whole
but a lew were cut in two. The
largest and smallest were selected
from the same lot. They wen- planted
one piece in a place, about nine inches
apart in the rows. The rows were
side by side. Boil and cultivation
he same. They uere dug and meas
ured carefully and I could see no ptr-
ceptibie difference in either size or
quantity."
Wearing Out Land.
Continuous cropping will exhaust
any soil. Whatever elements are re
moved from the soil by cropping
must be replaced in some way, if
fertility is maintained. The ability
of a sol I to produce well depends up
on the chemical constituents that
are present in it, provided its me
chanical condition is such ns to ren-
de*' these matters available to plants.
These matters or constituents are
the food upon which plants li w *', and
a knowledge of them, combined with
the chemical composition ol the ash
es of different plants, suggests a ra
tional system of agriculture. The
importance of a jud cious succession
ol crops in order to maintain leriili y,
in the light ol these facts, is at once
apparent. Some crops remove a lar
ger proportion of particular elements
than other, while some derive nutri
ment from near the surface, ar.il some
send their roots to a greater depth to
gather substance; hence the impor
tance of following the former with
the latter, Htid of supplying in the
way of manures the substance nec
essary to surlace growing plunts.
Science affords invaluable assistauce
to the farmer just here. With its
aid and exercise of good judgement
wonted fruitfulness may be restored
to impoverished soils.
Congress has been presented a
memorial of the National Cotton
Exchange asking that a committee
of entomologists he appointed to
investigate the habits and ravages
of the cotton-worm. It is stated
that in a year of severe visitation
Georgia looses on account of the
worm sixteen and one-half per
cent of her cotton crop, while the
South has lost on an average since
the war of thirteen . million dollars
overy year. We trust this com
mittee, if appointed, may hit upon
an effectual plan of destruction to
the infestant.
