Dow to Grow Late Irish Potatoes I usually plant late potatoes' where I have grown English: peas, snap beans or some other; early crop, but they may be planted where nothing has been grown if the right kind of pre paration is made. In either case the land should be broken good and deep with a two-horse plow J and harrowed immediately until the soil is thoroughly pulverized, j This should be done now, if not! already done and the land should be harrowed occasionally to keep down the weeds and conserve moisture. Harrow about every two weeks until July 20 in this latitude and then prepare to plant by laying off rows with shovel about three feet apart, running twice to the row to make a deep furrow. Then put in commercial fertili zer but no stable manure (unless put on early in the season). Put the potatoes down in this furrow and cover. My plan is to cover by listing on this furrow with eight or ten-inch shovel plow and let remain until just before potatoes come up and then harrow off. The cultivation is the same as any other Irish potato Keep up cultivation until frost has bit the vines; but don't dig as soon as frost bites the vines. Dig the potatoes and bank them in long banks, not too many to gether, then cover with grass or corn stalks so as to keep the dirt off them; then cover with dirt deep enough to keep them from freezing. We have followed this method for years and have had fine success. We have fine eat ing potatoes all winter and spring I raise the Triumph potato this way: but the Lookout Mountain will double the yield of the Triumph planted at the same time and under the same circumstances. --W.
