service i because hundreds of our farm readers are vitally interested in growing potatoes we take the liber ty of publishing an extract from an article written for the alliston her ald on this subject it will be of vital interest to any farmer mr hisey says as the time is drawing near for the farmer to prepare his soil i would like to sugest a most import ant essential he sure your soil is suitable for potato production i have observed we got the best stock off light loamy soil that is well fer tilized the potatoes must he clean and hright in appearance to com mand best prices to insure quality and heavy production you must plant certified seed fertilize freely and give careful attention to the crop during the growing season if you are not in a position to do this you better leave the growing of potatoes to the fellow who can i would strongly suggest to the farmer who usually plants ten acres to reduce his acreage to five at least during the war giving the smaller acreage better care using extra acreage for feed hogs cattle cheese butter eggs and poultry etc will be in strong demand for export potatoes are a local proposition and must he marketed at least within six or seven months after harvested if this suggestion was followed by the ontario farmer he would find it is better to mako money off five acres than to lose moneyon ten the growers in new brunswick during the past two years grew acording to government statistics as much on five acres as ontario grow ers did on twelve pbi as much much on five acres as ontario on ten why heavy use of fertilizer more uniform potato soil cortified seed properly treated climatic conditions proper care after planting strict attention to varieties suitable to their provinces and markets some ontario farmers rather re sent the hold tho eastern potato shippers have on the ontario trade however they should remember they are canadians and also that they reciprocate by buying practi cally all their manufactured articles from ontario tho eastern shippers have a heavy handicap in freights this season tho grower receives about 35c per bag- for potatoes the railway 35c for transportation the ontario grower aout 50c at the
