GOOD POTATO YIELD Mr. Wallace Shirley, near Ham burg, Iowa, planted one-fourth acre to Wisconsin late Rural XeW Yorker dry land seed, potatoes June 12 last. The first rain since planting time cime August 20 and the yield was 70 bushel3 from this quarter acre, all of which sold at 2 a bushel. The secret was, he planted one eye in each hill and cultivated them often and didn't let the soil crust or pack. If our land will produce a yield like that, more of our 'Taoney will lemain home, instead of sending it away. The late dry land seed is about (leaned up. Irrigated stock will not raise potatoes here only vines. The early crt;p in the dry Iniid district of Western Nebraska failed this season. In planting potatoes or any other farm or garden crop, it is important to get good seed from a reliable dealer. Journal ads list guaranteed seed that is best for use in this ter ritory, while seed imported from a distance often gives unsatisfactory lesults.
