Sweet Potatoes.

Slips may be set out for early pota-
toes, but the main crop is best planted
in May and June. The land should be
broken and worked fine before plant
ing. Farmyard manure has been found
best for potatoes, but if commercial
fertilizers are used, those in which
phosphoric acid and potash predomi.
nate, produce best results. Though
some growers prefer the old practice OF
high hills, it is generally believed that
fiat culture is most profitable. The
possibilities and capabilities of the pc.
tato have not yet been fully demon.
