Plenty of humus or decayed vegetable
matter in the soil is necessary to good
results with sweet potatoes. Shallow
cultivation to keep the ground mellow
and down grass and weeds till the vines
shade the entire field is all that is
needed. In Kansas, sweet potatoes were
irrigated with good results. Dig when
broken potatoes will show dry, white
surface after few hours exposure to
the air. If the broken surface turns
greenish black, the crop is immature
and will rot. Plow shallow furrow
each side of the row, and using rolling
coulter to cut the vines, and then run
deeper furrow in the row to throw out
the potatoes. The vines may be grazed
off by cattle before digging, and hogs
will find all left in the ground after
digging. Store in dry place and keep
temperature at about seventy-five de-
gre es for two weeks till they are done
sweating, and then about fifty to sixty
degrees is best. Pick out all decayed
tubers during sweating period, and there
is little danger of rot afterwards.

Sweet Potato Planting and Culture.


Six weeks before planting time bed
the seed, says farmer in Stockman and
Farmer. If the bed is three feet wide,
one bushel of large potatoes will cover
four feet in length, one bushel medium
size, six feet and one bushel small seed
eight feet. Where the season is long,
two or three crops of plants can be
drawn from the bed If two crops are
drawn, two bushels small seed, four
bushels medium and seven bushels large
seed will plant an acre. A few people
claim to get better crops from large seed
than from small seed, but the expert
ment stations fail to find any difference,
but all agree that potatoes grown from
vine cuttings make better seed than those
from slips or "draws." These vine cut
tings can be set out as late as 100 days
before average date of first frost. One
acre planted in earliest slips will yield
vine cuttings sufficient to plant two
acres month later. In the lower South
growers often plant an acre or two of
cut seed, after the manner of planting
Irish potatoes, and from these get vine
cuttings for the remainder of the crop.
At the Alabama station vine cutting
gave a greater yield than slips, but at
the Louisiana station the reverse was
true. There seems to be little difference.
Potatoes from vine cuttings are
smoother and keep better than those
from slips. Pruning the vines to obtain
cuttings causes larger per cent. of
small potatoes. Except in cold, wet
soils, level culture or low ridges, Texas,
Georgia and Alabama stations get best
yields from level culture; Louisiana
from high ridges. Rows should be three
and one-half feet apart and plants fifteen
inches apart in the rows for feeble grow
ing varieties, eighteen inches for
medium and two feet for rank growers
Some succeed with checks thirty
inches each way, and save work. Nov
ing the vines to prevent roofing does
not pay. The Florida station got a
machine for SIS which plants and waters
three to six acres per day of sweet pota-
toes, tobacco. cabbage or tomato plants,
when operated by two horses and three
men. The Texas station opens furrow,
has boys lay the plants against one side,
and throws the dirt and tramps firm.
Potash is most essential fertilizer,
though complete fertilizer gives best
results on soils not already fertile.

How Bacteria Make Plants Grow.

Mr.. G.. D. Coleman, writing in the
American Agriculturst, and speaking OF
"Microbe farming" says it touches
upon most important point.
For some crops we do not need to pay
fancy prices for Nitrogen, when God has
given as vast ocean of nitrogen in the
atmosphere 1t is true that the ferment
or bacteria of notification will breed
and increase best on the roots Of the
pea, bean and clovers, but where there
are no bacteria in the soil and none are
supplied, they cannot so breed and
therefore will not assist these plants to
get nitrogen from the air or from other
wise unavailable stores of this element
in the soil. On new land in Chilli, |
could not get any Of these crops to
thrive, but by adding little compost in
which horse manure was used as d
ferment, these crops produced wonderful
results. AS your note points out, when
clover will not catch or thrive in soil
that is otherwise all right, the trouble
may be due to the absence of these
bacteria, and may be overcome by thinly
scattering upon it little rotten clover
sod soil upon which good coats of horse
manure have been spread in recent
years. Harrow this dressing in lightly,
and the bacteria in it will quickly in.
crease on the roots of clover when it once
gets start, and a rank growth will be
the result. The growth of these bacteria
in the soil and the capacity of the soil
to retain them for long period when
the ground is fallow or crops not favora.
BILE to their increase are raised, will be
very much favored by an application of
plaster. In fact, the action of plaster
on soil is applicable in no other way.
The digestion of the horse is the most
perfect mandatory of these bacteria,
that of man probably comes next, then
Of poultry, and the ruminants last.
Therefore Lorse manure is the best fer
ment, and if composted with leaves,
bedding, sods, etc. will soon fill them
with this bacteria, and when so used
the microbes will become much more
effective in their action. Night soil or
poudrette is also of great use In COM
posting, when it is not mixed with
something calculated to kill the germs.
We all remember the Bonner method
Of making manure by means OF wet
compost heaps. 1t always seemed like
trying to make something out of
nothing, but was only mandatory of
the bacteria of nitriication, although
BONNER did not know it.

Olive Culture.

In conversation with Bishop Moore, of
st. Augustine, recently, he gave the
Advocate some well-time ed hints as to the
culture and production of the olive along
the East Coast, in which he seemed to
take great interest. This fruit, which
is one of the chief horticultural pro-
ducts of California, has as yet been very
little tried IN this State, and has not
given satisfactory results where tried,
probably because the cultivation has
been very little attended to, and the
cree has been looked upon more as
curiosity than money producing article.
The olive when once started grows very
rapidly; the Californian method of pro-
pagation being by cuttings, which are
rooted in sand in Conservatives, and
when sufficiently rooted are transplanted
into open air nurseries, where, in year
or so, they grow to height of three or
four feet; when removed from the
nursery they are set four feet apart, to
give plenty of room for the roots to
spread, which they do to distance of
once and half the diameter of the
crown. By this method they are brought
into profitable bearing in from six to
even years. By the old method of
planting tie seeds, about 20 years and
an unlimited amount of care were re-
CURED to produce bearing olive tree.
The method of picking olives is very
simple, but as the immortal Mrs. Glass
said in her recipe for cooking a hare,
"First catch your hare" so all we will
say on this subject is "First grow your
olives" The olive crop of last year in
California brought about $4,000, and
an increase of $4,000 is looked for this
year, by reason of the increased acreage
in bearing trees. The yield of Oil for
this year is estimated at about $4,000
gallons, being an increase of $4,000
gallons since 1893.
Whether the olive can be grown to a
marketable extent in Florida, is prob
lem which remains to be solved; given a
fair trial and q suitable soil it could
probably be made profitable crop;and,
at any rate, is worth trying on small
scale as an -Titusville

a cloth, but, after allowing the water
to run on them for awhile, let them

He Is Mistaken


In his speech at Springfield, o.,
Candidate Bryan spoke of "the na-
tion peasantry.' There are no
peasants in this country, and the
man who attempts to make such a
classification is unworthy the sup
port of the free American soyer-
eigns. Every man is a prince and
no man is peasant. With the bal
lot in his hand, the voter ranks
with Vanderbilt. The rich man OF
today may be tie poor man to-
morrow, and he who is not endow-
ed with wealth at this moment may
be a millionaire before the close al a
decade. This arraying of the people
of the United States into classes is
the most prenicious thing that has
ever been attempted in this country,
and the demagogues who are engag-
ed ia the unrighteous attempt de-
serve the contempt into which they
are sure to fall.
