SWEET POTATOES,
[By HUGH N. srARNrs, Horticultur,,

tBy HUGH N. STARNRs, Horticulturist.l
The following brief summary of Bull
letin rs (November, 1s9s) on the above
subject, covers all of the more imuort-
ant points. The conclusions are based
upon the result of two years tests with
fertilizers, though most of the other
tests were only made the past season,
1t must be remem bered that the order
OF yield given in the variety test ia
liable to be changed by another years
experimentation, although it is not
probable that any radical variation will
appear, and in general way the same
order will be maintained.
FERTILIZER.
l. A compound of $40 pounds acid
phosphate, $50 pounds cotton seed meal
and $40 pounds 4kainit, in all, $40
pounds per acre, costing, approximate
ly, $1l.39, secures the best results. Pos
sibly the amount of kainit-in Middle
and North Georgia-could be advant ia
geously reduced to 400 pounds, though
in the pine region it should be main
tanned at the figure first given.
2. Cotton seed meal is preferable to
nitrate of soda as a source of nitrogen
(ammonia.)
3. kainit is preferable te muriate of

ent to phosphoric acid in any form,
compared with the other elements of
plant food, since all Of the phosphoric
acid in soft phosphate is In an insoluble
form when first applied
8. The finely .pulverized condition of
soft phosphate Is a great objection to
its use, rendering it extremely difficult
to handle without loss. There is not a
sufficient difference in price between
the two forms of phosphate to render
soft phosphate at present an active
competitor to acid phosphate unless the
ascertained results were more emphatic
in its favor.
