The land should be prepared as soon as possible but planting may be delayed un til in March without any appre ciable loss in earliness. In the Mountain areas planting may be delayed until April. Do not plant potatoes In poorly drained areas or the seed pieces may rot in the ground. The Irish potato requires heavy fertilization as well as good soil in order to make large yields. At least one gallon of 8-8-8 fertilizer mixture should be used per 100 sq. ft. of row, thoroughly mixed in the row soil about a week be fore planting time. In home gar dens and small plantings, pota toes are uJiially planted by hand, and if the fertilizer is applied in the furrow at planting time there is danger that it will come into contact with the seed piece and damage it. Do not apply lime to potato soils. Lime and also fresh stable manure will promote the growth of potato 'scab disease if present in thf soil or on the seed. Irish Cobbler is still one of the most popular white potato var ieties for home gardens. Canso, a Canadian introduction, is re sistant to late blight and is re placing Irish Cobbler to some ex tent iij the Eastern areas. Sebago and Fssex are good but are later than Cobbler. For those who pre fer red potatoes the Triumph are probably bdst. In the moun- tain areas we would recommend Boone, Kennebec and Essex. These are all resistant to late blight disease. It is best to use certified seed if obtainable. Certification is a guarantee that the seed potatoes are practically free from the most serious diseases. Seed pieces should be cut so that they aver age from 14 to H4 ounces In weight and must contain at least one good eye. Smaller seed pieces will give lower yields. Space the rows three feet apart and the seed pieces 10 to 12 inches apart in the row. The Hisual planting depth is about four inches. Con trary to a common idea, there is no advantage in turning all the eyes up in planting the seed pieces. Average prices paid by North Carolina farmers for most feed items decreased slightly during the month ended December 18, 1955. o ' Cattle slaughter this winter is expected to equal or exceed last winter; hog slaughter will be up because of a 12 per cent gain In the 1955 fall pig crop.
