at about the same rate as lias been the
( increase in population. They are now
Frown in all states of the United j
Ht.ates. but principally in the Northern
and Eastern states.
- Fertilizer.
Generally speaking, a fertilizer con
taining from three per cent to four
per cent nitrogen, six percent to eight
per cent phosphoric acid, and nine per
cent to 10 per cent of potash will give
good results, the kind and amount to
apply depending upon the kind or
soil and the natural fertilitv. If the
soil is clayey ii will require less pot
a h than the sandv types.
Planting.
T’nlatoes should be planted as early
ns possible in the spring, say. from
February 20 in the southern part o‘
; the state to April 1 in the northern
part. Plant about four inches deep
in rows three feet apart, planting the
pi'A'es one foot apart in the row.
Of the varieties best suited for Ar
kansas. Red Bliss, Karly Ohio and Irish
Cobbler are possibly the best early va
rieties. while Rural New Yorker No.
2. Carmen No. 3 and Sir Walter Ra
leigh are the beat late varieties. There
Is no one variety that is best for all
soils under all circumstances.
Cultivation.
Cultivation should begin as early as
possible after the plants begin to ap
pear. and should continue at intervals;
of ten days to two weeks. Do not use
plce«u3^thatrurwleepintothe soil, but
*"...
to a depth of front 2Vi to .3 Inches.
The object of cultivation is to keep
down weeds and to conserve the soil
moisture, therefore cultivation should
be done as early as possible after a
rain even if the ground had been
plowed tile day before.

i Getting Up in the
H
a
Some men work almost day and night all their lives and yet nev
er have anything, while others with apparently not half tne effort
live well and locate on Easy Street before they reach middle age.
Some people say it is luck, but if you get down to the real cause
of the one’s failure and the other's success you will find that it is all
most always because of the different habits.
The one man carries his money around in his pocket and spends
it freely and thoughtlessly for everytning he see that he wants, while
the other banks his money, saves some part of everything that he
earns, keeps a business-like record of his transactions by means of
his checks and establishes a standing at the bank that enables him to
get financial aid whenever he needs it.
Nothing can be of n or help to you in getting up in the world and
maki g a success of your business than, an account at this bank.
It is not what you make out what you save that counts.
