FALL IRISH POTATOES.
II is about time to begin
? thinking about those Fall Irish
potatoes if you are going to
riant them, and the Lookout
Mountain is especially recom
menced. " These potatoes
should be planted during the
last half of July. Rich loose,
reasonably moist, but well
drained soil is best for your po
tatoes. Use more care as to the
kind of fertilizer, than the
amount. Commerical fertiliz
er such as is used for cotton or
corn, possibly increasing . the
potash a little and decreasing
the nitrogen a little'. ' The fer
tilizer should be well mixed
with the soil, to' prevent it from
burning the potatoes. Stable
manure if not well rotted will
cause the potatoes to be rough
and scabby.
It is better to cut the potatoes
in larger pieces than in the
spring on account of the dry
hot summer weather and plow
the land at-least 6 or 8 inches
deep. Cutting potatoes just
before plowing to keep/ them
from dying out and plant
ing right after the plow; giv
ing the potatoes advantage of
the moist soil and pressing
thiem in with your hand or foot
will make the soil firm around
the potato and give you a bet
ter stand.
o
See That Your Bees Have
Plenty of Ventilation.
If the bees cluster on the out
side of the hive, it is rearly al
ways a rule that they haven't
the proper ventilation or are too
crowded. To remedy this put
on a super with full sheets of
foundation, or slightly raise the
hive off the bottom board with
little blocks to give the bees
plenty of air. The new honey
is better protected from the hot
sun if the hive is in the shade.
THE ALFALFA PLOT. .
If you are* planning for an
Alfalfa Plot to be planted this
fall, now is the time to prepare i
the soil, and the sccret of sue- j
eessful ^alfalfa - growing in j
South Carolina is# the preparing
of the land before planting, -
In South Carolina we have
the" following obstacles to over
come to successfully grow al
falfa, as stated by R. W. Hamil
ton, extension^ Agronomist: (1)
'insufficient lime (2) insufficient
organic matter (3) lack of in*
'oculation (4) shallow topsoil
(5) noxious weeds and grasses
An efficient xway to overcome
these obstacles is growing le
gumes, which will help to -fur
nish te inoculation and organic"
matter. Lime 7&nd Phosphoric*
acid should be ' used o*K the
legume and stable manure if any
fa used. In this way you ? will
get your land supplieswith lime,
organic . matter and mineral
matter and if the land is plow
ed deep the plot is in good eon- j
dition for alfalfa.
We have several nice alfalfa
plots around ' Landrum and !
when J;he plots were judged
recently, the obstacle -of the
lack t)f preparation and inocola
tion and minerals was v^ry pre
valent. Alfalfa is . really a
special crop with us and it re
quires special information and
special work and care and if you
are not really going to be a
sjeci^list, growing alfalfa . is
not going to be a paying pro
position here.

CLOVER HINTS
White Sweet Clover,
White sweet clover can be
grown in this county as has j
been shown by, the stand of J
clover in the County Court
House- yard at Columbus. A f
peculiarity of .that particular .
patch of clover is the fact that
the land is considered to be
poor. ,J. R. Sams .stated that
he planted the white clover for
two purposes, first to enrich' J
the earth in the court house j
square for thp future Blue !
grasss and Dutch clover lawn
second to prove to the farmers
of Polk County that white
sweet clover would grow even
in the poorest of soil;'- ' N
"If all of the farmers of this j.
county would grow a little of |
jthis particular clover, the bees
i would be hard put to it to gath
| er all qf the honey crop/' stated j
Mr. Sams.
