Oak Hi'!, Feb. 20—My how we en-
joyed seeing the gentle rain fall;
didn't put out any stock water, bu:
just made it nice to start planting
corn and finish the garden work for
this month.
In reading D.\ [.ait Butler's Farm
Philosophy we see where he said, "In
money alone, farming will never pay
as well as other < ccu pa lions. There
are other rewards tbat farm life of-
fers. The greater beauty of the coun-
try-side, it's healthfulness: the reerr
bossed independence of the farmer;
the interesting character of th<* work:
the wholesomeness of family life o:i
the farm: etc. The farmer will always
have to get part of his pay in these
things instead of money."
We like to think on these thing
as we go into spring with th«* many
things that go with farm life

FARM NOTES
By L M. GANDY
Febiuarv is potato planting timo
md many farmers have already
planted, with others ready to plant.
At least 50 to MO pounds < t seed po
a toes should be planted by most
farm families to insuie * proper u-
mount, as yields in Texas run front
10 to 20 bushels |km bushel planted.
Certified seed should be used, as
they have been carefully checked in
both field and bin to remove all da
maged and diseased tubers. Accord
ing to J. F. Rosborough, Extension
Horticulturist, most Texas people
plant the Triumph variety with the
Irish Cobbler being popular also. A
new variety has been strongly recom-
mended for Texas, called Katahdin
which has been on trial at Experi-
ment Stations and a few Texas farm..
The results have been outstanding,
states Mr. Rosborough, having oul •
yielded both Triumph and Cobbler.i,
and has excellent storing qualities.
Katahdin variety is a arge, round,
white potato with shallow eyes. I'
will serve best as a home use potato.
To get high yields in sandy soil
areas with ample rainfall, a sack of
C-12-6 fertilizer should be applied foi
each sack of seed potatoes used.
Ten bushels of seed potatoes cut
into pieces half the size of a hen eg^
will plant an acre. Potatoes do best
planted 12 to 14 inches apart and a-
bout three inches deep.
Mr. Rosborough states a side dress-
ing of 100 pounds per acre of nitrate
of soda or ammonium sulphate can b«*
applied soon aftei the first leaves
emerge from the ground level if fer-
tilizer is not used before planting
Any one interested in securing Kat-
ahdin seed can secure addresses of
supply houses at the county agent's
office.
Varieties of vegetables to be plant
ed in February are as follows:
BEETS. Detroit Dark Red.
CABBAGE. Charleston Wakefield,
pointed type requiring 7f> day- from
setting to edible head
Copenhagen Market variety, a
roundh. aded variety of high quality
requiring 70 days to mature. Space
plants 10 to 12 inches apart.
CARROTS. Nante- variety, a car-
rot of deep orange color and high
quality.
Danver Half lx r.g variety, excp
tionally hardy.
CORN. Honey June Variety, for
"arlv roasting ears and f >r canning.
LETTUCE. I s Angeles variety
(also known a. New York and Won-
derful) mav be planted this month n.'
;n March thin plants to a sparing of
fi to 10 inches.
Mt'STARD. Tendergreen vaiet>
plant 25 to 50 feet in row space now
and replant every three to four week*.
ONIONS. White Bermuda (alsi
ktHwn as Crystal Wax) Good while
young, or mature for table use; but
for use during late summer, fall
and winter, plant Sweet Spanish
variety. This keeps well.
English I'eas. Bountiful variety,
quick maturing that makes in 80 t <
70 days.
Little Marvel - - a wrinkled var-
iety of exceptional table and yielding
qualities.
Thomas Ijixton - - commercial
variety for canning and market.
From a visit to the Sweet potato
Experiment Staion a' Gilmer, Mr.
JSosborough, Extension Horticultur-
ist, states it has been provH that it
doesn't pay to bed undersized swi <•-.
potatoes. I*ast year at the Station
local seed poatoes produced plants
which yielded 70 bushels per aire,
while an improved strain of I/oui.
oiana certified seed potatoes pro
duced 150 bushels per acre
When . electing sweet potatoes foi
bedding, pick those that are aimut 2
inches in diameter and 0 or 7 inche
long. E? ch ponto dhould Im- nicked
on the stem end to determine if fch*
meat has a red color. Those having
white or yellow color should not be
•t-ed for seed as white mealed or yet
low mented sweet potstoe*- do not
bake s<>ft and have poor eating
qualities.
