TAKE CARE!
POTATOES AND FROSTS. Early potatoes are often severely crippled and sometimes completely ruined, by spring frosts. They will not be safe from this danger in the Masterton district for a little time yet, therefore steps should be taken to safeguard them directly growth shows through the soil. Where the patch is small, the tender shoots can easily be covered with straw or litter, but in most gardens earthing up will be the most satisfactory method. As the'shoots push through the surface a little soil should be drawn up to them and the process repeated when necessary till all danger is past.
