Search especially for those who have had experience in farm work, or who hive' practical appreciation of it, and also provide for an adequate supply of laborers to coopérate under intelligent direction. (2) Enroll and classify all persons available for this service, with- definite record of how and when their ser- vices can be had. (3) . Then turn the records over to Your local war bureau, in order that the farmers of your vicinity may know now what they can depend up- on, and be able to arrange: the groups of workers.in a way to ensure contin- vous service as needed. Thus the farmers will be able to plan now -for the maximum of planting, with assur- ance that the crops will' be cared-for. This is primarily a patriotic service, to. be offered by men and women who stand ready: to aid in this vital mat- ter. but of course arrangements for labor should be made as far as possi- Lle on a fair business basis. The im- mediate and imperative need is for each ‘business and industrial commu- nity to get fully awake to the farm labor problem and let the farmers know now thHat you are back of them.

The culture of the Irish potato is fa- miliar to almost everyone who has ever had a garden. In brief, the po- tatoes should be' planted as soen as the ground can be worked in spring, two weeks before the average date of the last killing frost- being none too early. The tubers should be cut so that each piece contains from one to two. eyes, and the pieces planied in rows from 24 to 30 inches apart, and from 16 to 15 inches apart in the rows, depending on the variety. Cultiva- tion 'should be frequent and thor™gh. It is an ekcellent idea to kork soil up to the plants as they develop, so that there will be plenty of soil to cover the potatoes as they form. Early potatoes in the central and southern sections of the country will .mature in sufficient time for the gar- dener to grow a crop of sweet corn, late cabbage or tuyrnips on the same ground. It is often possible to plant the ~second - crop between the potato rows before the potatoes are dug. Barly . potatoes. may be used as soon as Jarge enough, an old rule being to begin using® them when they are as large as a hen's egg. The usual meth- od is .to'dig them as needed, leaving the main part of the crop to develop to maturity.” : ;- In the central portion of the United States, the late crop may be planted from June. 15 to July 1, but in the orthern sections the main crop. is wnted . than ‘this, no attempt b made to produce early and late otatoes, as' in many ' sections the . season is too short for the production of but one crop. Late po- tatoes are allowed to grow uhtil they mature or until the frost kills the vines. The cultivation of the late crop is sifilar to that employed in the case'of the early crop.—~U..S.
