Enemies of She Plant and How to
Thwart Their Depredations—The
Rest Soil—Views of Chemist.
A gentleman who desires to experi
ment with Irish potatoes as a revenue
crop asks for advice on the the following
points:
(1) . The most available potato for
shipping purposes.
(2) . The best time to plant so as to
bring the potatoes into market in time
to miss the first crop of southern pota
toes and the regular annual crop of
northern potatoes.
(3) . Character and amount of manu
factured fertilizer likely to ensure the
largest yield.
Answers to the above questions:
(1). The IrLh potato in highest es
teem among the track farmers on the
Atlantic coast near Savannah is the
“Pink-Eye” or “Early Rose.”
(is). The best time to plant so as to
come between the first crop of southern
patotoes and the regular annual crop of
northern potatoes is in February or early
March.
(3). The following formula for Irish
potatoes is suggested by Dr. McCand-
less, our state chemist:
Nitrate of soda 300 pounds
Cottonseed meal GOO pounds
Acid phosphate (!4per cent) .800 pounds
Sulphate of potash 300 pounds
2,000 pouuds
Use from 250 to 500 pounds to the acre,
according to the fertility of the soil. Mu
riate of potash may be used instead of
sulphate, if the latter cannot be easily
had.
We have heard “Armour's Helmet
Brand Potato Fertilizer” recommended
in very flattering terms.
Rest ^oil For Irish Potatoes.
Irish potatoes give the best results in
a rich sand}* loam, neither too wet, nor
too dry. If the season should be a wet
one, a clay subsoil would be unfavor
able to the growth of the potato. A
calcareous soil can generally be counted
on for producing a crop large and of
fine quality. When the soil contains
but little lime, it is well to use this as a
fertilizer.
The inverted sod of an old pasture is
good for the Irish potato. When such a
sod is used, a little well rotted compost
should be harrowed in upon it. A com
post made of mnek and leached ashes
makes an excellent manure for this crop.
Enemies of the Potato.
The potato rot is a disease not thor
oughly understood and no effectual
remedy has yet been discovered for
.plants affected by it. The only thing
that can prevent spreading is the de
struction of all infected stems and
leaves. In localities where other crops
have been destroj’ed by the rot, a reme
dy is found by the use of lime iu the
hills and by occasional dusting of the
growing plant with it. Sometimes a field
attacked by the rot has been saved by
mowing off the top of the plants.
It has been found that crops on which
commercial fertilizers have been used
are less liable to this disease than those
where composts of various kinds and
farm manures have been applied to the
iL .
The potato bug or Colorado beetle is
e destructive pest. Arsenite of copner,
generally known as paris green, is the
most effectual remedy against this tron-
biesome insect, bnt it must be used with
the greatest caution, and nothing in
which it has beeu placed should ever be
nsed for any other purpose.—State Ag
ricultural Department.

THE LUSCIOUS STRAWBERRY
Can He Cultivated In Different Soils
and Temperatures.
Among the spring luxuries of the ta
ble is the strawberry, which is adapted
to such widely different soils and tem
peratures, that those possessing even
the smallest garden patch may have
enough for their own use, if they so de
desire. A plot only 20 or 30 feet square
will with proper attention produce a
supply that will surprise those not ac
customed to the cultivation of this de
licious fruit.
There is great demaud for strawber
ries in all our larger towns. Those
raised in Florida begin to come in to
ward the middle of March, and when
they begin to grow scarce the Georgia
berries are ready to come iu. The mar
ket gardeners of onr state would find it
profitable to raise this favorite fruit for
the states north of us.
It is too late now to plant for this
season, but not too late to get. ready for
another. Those set out in the spring
will produce very few berries the first
year. The chief aim for the first year
should be the production of vigorous
plants, which will be less liable to be
killed by the cold of winter than those
set out iu the fall. If such plants are
secured they will with proper care pro
duce an abundant supply in the next
season.
Strawberries should b9 cultivated or
hoed at least thre6 times the first year.
But, if this is done every two or three
weeks from early in April until Octo
ber, the weeds will be thoroughly kept
down so that they will not become
wedged in between the plants. When
the season for berries comes then all
this care and attention will be amply
rewarded.—State Agricultural Depart
meut.
Remarks on Cattle Quarantine Line.
Dr. Rice P. Steddom, United States
cattle inspector for the district east of
the Mississippi, a few days ago ex
pressed himself as highly pleased with
the work done by the department of ag
riculture ou the line of getting our cat
tie rid of the tick and securing a lower
ing of the quarantine line. He said that
Georgia was perhaps doing better than
any of the other southern states and
that iu appreciation of the work done in
this state the United States government
had decided to appoint a special inspec
tor for Georgia, his salary to be paid by
the government of the United States.
It has been the aim of the Agricultu
ral Department to encourage the efforts
of the cattle raisers of Georgia for the
destruction of that dangerous pest, the
tick, known as the boophilus bovis. The
encouraging success, which has attend
ed these efforts, is very gratifying to us,
and leads us to hope for still greater re
suits in the future.—State Agricultural
Department.
Prelit In Good Feeding.
To illustrate the fact that there is
profit in the careful feeding of hogs the
Practical Farmer tells a story which
runs about thus:
A mau who had just sold a drove of
fine shoats and made a good profit by
the transaction, on his way home met a
neighbor who complained that a farmer
could not make any money and that
raising hogs for the market was a los
ing business, adding that he would like
to dispose of those that he had. Party
No. 1 bought the hogs and also some
corn of the same mau, asking for time
in which to make his payment. After
three months he sold this second drove
of shoats, and after paying his neigh
bor showed him how much money he
had cleared by the transaction.
The farmer who had sold his corn
md hogs in separate lots was thus
laugh t a valuable lesson by kio more en
terprising neighbor. —State Agricultural
