Wholesale Potato Culture by Naperville Grower KE Currier
Naperville grower KE Currier reports a potato crop of 32 000 bushels and describes his weed beating cultivation method. He advocates drilling 32 inches apart with 15 inch gaps, using a light drag or harrow and diamond teeth cultivators, cultivating every other day then deeper passes as plants grow. He claims 200 to 250 bushels per acre on good ground, with 40 or 50 acre plots.
