240 BUSHELS OF
POTATOES TO ACRE
By J. F. CORBIN
W. J. Raines, of Lake Toxaway,
made '240 bushels of potatoes per
acre on his 1930 crop. Mr. Raines
is very particular about his seed po
tatoes, always selecting tKera in the
field at digging time. He does not
know the name of his potatoes ? but
he knows his potatoes. He has not
bought any new seed and kept them
for seed for 35 years. He thinks that
the source of. his seed cime from two
JTOtatoes that his brother sent here
from the State of Washington 35
years ago. ?
Mr. Raines* field last year measur
ed 44 yards square, rows 3 feet apart
and hills 14 inches apart. The land
was poorly prepared, growing corn
the previous year. He used Royster
Potato fertilizer, 600 pounds, under
the Held, or at the rate of 1500
pounds per acre. The patch produced
96 bushels of potatoes, or 240 bushels
per acre. The potatoes were planted
the last of March and one-half the
patch was badly frost bitten last
night of May, but he could not tell
any difference in the yield of frost
bitten notatoes and the others. They
were blooming when frost came, too.
Mr. Raines believes in experiment
ing and finding out the best way to
do things and then doing them that
way. He left one row through the
patch without any fertilizer, 44 yards
Ion \ and made one and one-half
bushels less potatoes on it than
other rows. This figures 137 1-2
bixhels less per acre.
I am not writing this for Royster
Fertilizer company, for any other
standard brand would have done the
same thing for Mr. Raines. Mr.
Raines lias built up a potato seed
busin, -- in his community for him
self. selling all his seed at good prices
at his home. Ht> has a beautiful
field of potatoes this year.
