Bedding Sweet Potatoes.


To obtain strong, healthy plants, pre-
pare frame the same as for hot-bed,
but no sashes are to be used. This
frame is filed to depth of about two
feet with coarse horse manure we'll
trodden down; this is covered with
about eight inches of wheat straw, upon
which the 'tubers are placed in a single
layer close together, then covered with
just sufficient soil barely to hide them
from sight; then upon the soil are placed
about eight inches of pine leaves or
''shats" as we call them, that can be OBJ
tanned upon the ground beneath the
pine trees. Then, by placing boards
upon the 'sshats" the bed is covered,
except a space through the center which
is left open to allow the surplus heat to
escape so that the tubers upon the outer
edges of the bed will sprout as soon as
those in the center. As soon as the
sprouts appear the '.shats" are removed,
and from three to four inches of soil are
placed upon the tubers. In this manner
strong, healthy plants can be grown
with little difficulty.
