The Sweet Potato.

Tue outlay 0A p 3nuSu upOiI III DO u y 20 WV
sweet potato. We refer to it as gener-
ally gown, a1d the position is cor
rectly taken, but yet, strange to say, it
is not extensively grown in general
way, as crop for profit. Every cabin
SCATTER living in the country has his lit
tie sweet potato patch dragging through
the season. usually under the most fla
grant neglect. and yielding a few bush
els Of inferior potatoes in the fall to be
at once devoured as a family luxury.
He appears to grow his few rows of
sweet potatoes with the same object in
view as prompts the growing OF his halt
dozen hills CT melons; N ere]y to tickle
the palate few times and then be off
until palatetickling season arrives in
the next year. And it may be this
kind of business that is causing the
sweet potato to receive SO little atten-
ton as great crop for profit, compare
lively speaking it has come to be re
garded as thing too common, and too
easily grown to be worthy of intelligent
thought and intelligent fort.
Let us take a rational view Of the
sweet potato as general crop for, say
the coast country of Alabama, Mssis-
sippi and Georgia; that is, for the re-
gion lying below the lime lands Of these
States. To make the case entirely plain
we will compare with corn, a crop whose
raising now engages far mole attention,
as rule, than does the sweet potato
crop.
The average yield Of corn in this re-
gion might be put at about ten bushels
to the acre under reasonably fair ferti-
lizing, though by very liberal fartilizing
and thorough culture it could probably
be brought up to an average of fifteen
bushels to the acre, which is about the
average Of corn in the corn States of H.
linois, Indiana and Ohio, as shown by
u nited States department Of agriculture
statistics. But to get our calculations
as much against the sweet potato as
possible we will put corn, under liberal
lertil;zing and thorough culture, at
twenty bushels to the acre. The aver
age selling price Of corn here may be
placed at so cents bushel-just now it
is quoted at from SIS to 571a cents. but
it was considerably lower in the fall.
Twenty bushels of corn at so cents
bushel would be $40, of course-$l0 in
come to the acre on the corn crop.
Now the fertiIizng and cultural out
lay necessary to raise twenty bushels
Of corn to the acre would probably en-.
sure crop OF sweet potatoes running
four hundred bushels TO the acre--a
prosperous German farmer in Baldwin
county, who has often tried the thing
on, assures us that it will do it. But to
again get SO far on the safe side that no
opposing question can arise, we will put
il at two hundred bushels Of sweet pOta-
toes TO the acre. At this particular
time the selling price Of sweet potatoes,
in the country is IS cents a bushel,
which would give on the crop an in
come Of $3.50 TO the acre, against $40 an
acre in cOrn-a clear gain on the pOta-
toes Of $40 to the acre as compared
wi,i corn. Try it at 80 ca bushel for the

would expect from your corn.
Let us now cut down the sweet pota-
to yield to one hundred bushels to tho
acre, Though there is no kind Of need
of doing this on land and culture expen-
diture that would bring twenty acres OF
C0rn), and we have present value of crop
to the acre, at the farm, $75, possible
lower fall value, $50, and at only rs
cents bushel. $i5-$65 better than
corn, $40 better than corn, and SIS bet
ter than corn.
II is unnecessary for us to tell &he
well-ipformed that it costs no more, all
things considered, to raise, harvest, and
keep over Gf keeping over must come
in), good crop Of sweet potatoes, an
der an intelligent system, than it does
to raise and harvest good crop of corn
OH the same acreage. Then the wonder
would seem to be in the face of theshow-
ing justly made, why our people don't
raise sweet potatoes instead of corn.
The fodder yield may be argued as RI
addendum to the corn income. We are
entirely willing 10 admit the fodder so
far as it goes, but really it does not
amount TO very much compared to The
value of The grain; besides, we would
beg leave TO offer a set off in the vines
of the potato. If these are correctly
handled at The time of harvesting the
tubers, they will actually give more
wholesome and highly-relished stock
feed to the acre than can be reasonably
claimed for the fodder, as wesaw clearly
demonstrated last fall and winter. 1
sweet potato crop and corn crop Of the
same acreage were grown side by .Eside,
and both were pushed for all there was
in them. All the potato vines were
carefully saved, cured and housed, as
was also all the fodder Of the corn Geld.
OF the two the potato vines made con-
eiderabIy the larger bulk, and in winter
they were eaten by the stock with as
much apparent relish as was sthe tod
der. and with seemingly as good results
in every way. The corn was one of the
largest growing and best varieties cul.
tivated in the coast region, and the po-
tatoes were the Peruvian yam.
The possibility exists that two p0yi.
tons will be taken against our argu-
ment in favor Of raising less corn. and
more sweet potatoes: W corn must:.be
raised, even though not SO profitable as
sweet potatoes, for the reason that there
is nothing else to fill its place as stock
feed on the farm and (2) very hesvv
production Of sweet potatoes would
work gut in the market, and thus
leave them on the producers hands
vainly begging for demand. Than to
successfully meet both Of these posi-
tons nothing could be easier.
There is something to well fiji ths
place OF corn as an all-round stock
feed, ard that something is sweet pOta-
toes. 1t has been abundantly demon
strated by both scientific and practical
test, that better pork, according more
perfectly with the prevailing taste and
demand ga streak O fat and streak
o lean') can be made with sweet pota-
toes than with corn, and that two BUSH
els OF sweet potatoes will go fully as far
