P
IRISH POTATO IS
Present Yield Is Entirely Too Low—
Caused By Insects end Improper
Selection of Seed.
By W. II. Wicks, College of Agricul
ture, Fayetteville, Ark.
According to the last annual census
there were grown in Arkansas 1,500,
000 bushels of Irish potatoes which
were produced approximately on a to
tal of 26,000 acres or at the rate of
sixty bushels per acre. This yield is
entirely too low and is due to such
causes as improper selection of seed,
planting diseased stock, improper cul
tivation and use of fertillters, lack of
lighting insect and disease pests, poor
grading und unsuccessful marketing
Arkansas farmers can well afford
to give the Irish potato serious con
sideration in making plans for the
year because it ie attracting more at
tention in the Southern States each
year as a money making crop for the
early market. Assuming that one
third of the entire yield of potatoes
In 1914 for Arkansas were culls, and
allowing SO cents per bushel for the
remainder of first-class marketable po
tatoes, the potato industry was worth
to the State of Arkansas in 1914 the
rum of $SOO,000.
The State* of New York, Maine and
Wisconsin, for example, have become
widely known through their potato
1. ± ~ l__ _
an entirely different field in the pro
duction of Irish potatoes and we
should turn our attention to the pro
duction of early potatoes for market
which are good early in the year when
| competition from the Northern potato
! growing sections will not be exper
ienced. All varieties are now classi
fied according to the following classl
: flcation by Professor Wm. Stuart. Hor
ticulturist, U. S. Department of Agri
culture:
Group 1 —Cobbler.
Group 2—Triumph.
Group 3—Early Michigan.
Group 4—Rose.
Group 6—Early Ohio.
Group 6—Hebron.
Group 7—Burbank. 1
Group 8—Green Mountain. 1
Group 9—Rural. \
Group 10—Pearl.
Group 11—Peachblow.
Group 12- Up-to-date.
The markets in the United States
demand the following varieties which
are given in order of their import
ance:
One—Rural.
Two—Green Mountain. f
Three—Early Ohio. X
Four—Burbank. * J ? %
Five—Irish Cobbler.
Six—Bliss Triumph.
7—Peerless (Pearl).
For Southern growers, the early
maturing red-skinned varieties such
as Early Rose. Bliss Triumph, htrav
Beauty, Irish Cobbler, Green Moun
tain and Rural New Yorker rtre the
most highly desirable on account of
their early maturity and the fact that
early markets are accustomed to as
sociate each characteristics of these
varieties with the early potato trade.
Bliss Triumph, Early Rose and Stray
Beauty are red varieties, while tho
Irish Cobbler, Green Mountain and
Rural New Yortter are white vajrSeties.
There are a number of varieties su
perior in many ways to the ones just
named, but the only guide the grower
may safely use is to grow what his
marker demands and the shortcom
ings of the variety must be overcome
by the grower by practicing the best
cultural methods.

In Some States Each Cow Produces
$100—In Arkansas It Amounts
To Only $15.
With loss than three milk cows to
every farm and the average product
per cow worth only $15.47 for a year,
Arkansas is far behind other states in
the production of dairy products. The
natural advantages for making pas
tures, hay and grain are tremendous,
and the Arkansas farmer can well
afford to pay more attention to the
milk cow, is the opinion .of H. E.
Dvorachok, Professor of Animal Hus
bandry’ with the University of Arkan
sas, who says that a good dairy cow’
in many states is expected to bring in
a gross income of at least $75.00 to
$100.00 a year.
Must Eradicate the Tick.
Arkansas can never become a great
dairy state until the tick is eradicated.
Ticks not only suck the blood from
our animals and stunt them as well
as make it Impossible to produce milk
most economically, but they make It
expensive and impractical to import
better sires in great numbers in an
effort to grade up the cattle we have
and eliminate the scrub.
Better Care Necessary—Brings
Returns.
It is true that the cattle tick is large
ly responsible for the number and
quality of our native cows; however,
the indifferent, care which the cows
have received is, perhaps, responsible
even to a larger extent. Dairying has ■
been too much on the summer pasture
basis too long in Arkansas, Most of
our cows are freshened in the spring
and turned on to the pasture during
the summer to make a living and give
what little milk they can produce un
der these conditions. Many of these
cows go dry by fall and are then
roughed through the winter on little 1
or no feed. The best cow in the world
cannot produce milk with such care.
There is no other animal on the
farm that is so hard and so willing a
worker as the dairy cow, provided she
is supplied the raw material to work
with. Considering what the Arkan
sas farmer puts into his cows in the
way of feed and care, they are return
ing to him a greater return than any
other farm animal in spite of the low
production. Give the Arkansas farm
milk cow a chance and she will work i
day and night, winter and summer,
and produce generously the best food
tor yohr family.
SHOULD HAVE LESPEDEZA ON
EVERY FARM.
Lespedeza, or Japanese clover, is a
plant which grows wild over most of
pasture, and. in some places, for its
pacture, and, in some places, for its
hay. It makes its growth during the
summer time and dies with the first
frost, coming again the next year, not.
from the root but from seed which
drop in the fall. Although it is ordi
narily found growing wild along the
roadsides and in waste places, yet
seed can be obtained and it can be
planted as any other farm crop and
thus get a crop when It is desired.
Lespedeza should be found on every Ar
kansas farm for hay or pasture, or
both, says A. D. McNair with the
Bureau of Farm Management co-ope
rating with the Extension Division of
the University of Arkansas.
Time to Piant. Lespedeza should
ho sowed in late winter or early
spring, say the latter part of February
or early in March and if intended for
a hay crop may be sowed on top of
oats or wheat land where it will ger
minate and grow without further at
tention. It is a low growing plant and
yet it grows so thick that it often
makes large yields of hay. Where
the stand is thick the yield is usually
estimated to he one ton per acre for
each six iifches in height; hence Los
pedeza which is but little taller than
a shot top will frequently make a fair
yield of hay. It may be sowed for
pasture on any kind of land, but for
hay it is most successful on creek
bottom lands, post oak flats or on the
silt loam soils adjacent to Crowley’s
Ridge and Bayou Mason Ridge. It
does better on the stiff silty soils than
on any sandy soils, though a good,
strong, sandy loam will produce a good
crop of hay. Moisture is more im
portant than the character of the
soil for it is a humid weather plant
and will make an svto!i»nt

Quantity of Seed Per Acre. If in
tended for pasture, one may start with
a very small quantity of seed, say
one peck per acre, and even if it is
not thick the first year it will become
thick of itself the second year. If
planted for hay, one should use at
least three pecks per acre and even
a bushel is better. If, however, it is
sowed on oats in the spring and is
planted the first summer, one may
sow one-half bushel per acre and be as
sured that the voluntary crop of the
following year will stand very thick
on the ground and will make a good
crop. Where it is sowed with (he ob
ject of harvesting it for seed, one-half
bushel per acre is ordinarily enough
because It seeds better when the
piants are not too thick.
Farmers Interested in Better Live
stock, Truck, or Fruit Growing
—Attention,
Every farmer with money invested
in Arkansas land who believes in bet
# r live stock or is interested in truck
or fruit growing should make plans to
attend the “Farmers Short Course"
at the College of Agriculture. Fayette
ville, from January S to February :i in
clusive. Special attention will be
given to live stock judging, feeds
ami feeding and to good orchard man
agement as well as other questions
concerning profitable farming. If you
cannot come, send tin boy.
Remember the School For Cotton
Classers.
Arkansas farmers should know
more about cotton and cotton class
ing. It will pay you to attend the Two
weeks School in Cotton Classing at
the University of Arkansas which
opens January 22.
