Can sweet potatoes be prohtably grown
with commercial fertilizers alone? Yes: l
can testify from my own experience the
past season that by use of SIMPSONS
Special Sweet Potato Phosphate 200 bush
els Of merchautable potatoes can be
grown TO the acre. l used one sack of
tins phosphate on the last plants l set,
about June 10 This was rather late to
give 1t fair trial but as had used phos-
pilates alone before on some late plants
after my compost had given out, merely
for the purpose ofgetting a lot of roots to
iatten hogs on, such l supposed would be
the result with this phosphate. But can
honestly testify that when put my plow
III to turn out these roots as 1 supposed,
they were, was wonderfully surprised
/ assure You, so much so that / had to
call over two of my neighbors, who am
sure would testify with me that brighter,
shorter, better sized potatoes could not be
grown. They were short and uniform in
size, very few small potatoes and no long
roots. Points in using this phosphate.
First. Only one-fifth Of the labor is re-
quired to prepare an acre of land for the
plants.
Second It does not injure the plants
by being set out as other acid phosphates
DO but starts the plants to growing.
Third 1t makes but little vine. But
more potatoes.
Fourth. The potatoes have no black
specks as Is the case with stable manure,
but are of beautiful bright color.
Fifth. The material that is used in this
phosphate must be lasting to the soil and
cannot be exhausted by one crop.
My method Of preparing the ground in
using this phosphate and cultivating is
very simple, but to the point Plow not
over four inches deep, drag harrow, mark
out rows four inches deep 81 feet apart
with small one horse pillow, SOW phosphate
III the furrow a good handful to every
stride, sow regular, then cover the phos-
phate as It is sown in the furrow with two
tight lists and the rows are ready to re-
ceive the plants. Level cultivating is my
method; never use the plow in the patch
after the gronnd is prepared for the plants.
cheerfully give this for the benefit of
others as l consider myself well paid to
know that l can grow profitable crop of
sweet potatoes with this phosphate alone
