Sweet Potatoes: Culture And Uses.
(Continued)

(Continued)
AMOUNT AND CHARACTER OF SWEET
POTATOES USED FOR SEED.
Since sweet potatoes of every size.
from that of cigar upward, are
bedded, the amount of seed potatoes
required to fill plant bed of given
dimension or to furnish sets for an
acre varies within certain wide linn
its. The larger the potatoes the
smaller the amount of plantbed
space necessary to accommodate a
bushel, the smaller the number OF
sets per bushel of bedded roots, and
the greater the number of bushels OF
seed potatoes required to furnish
sets for an acre.
The space in the plant bed cover
ed by bushel of large sweet pota-
toes is estimated at 9 to II square
feet; by I bushel of mediumslzed
roots, II to IS square feet; by

After the usual prelimiraries brother
Woolf spoke on the benefits of the Sab
bath schools and that the children should
be taught the principles of the gospel.
Spoke of the loving words that the Sa.
vior in his day, spoke to the Nephites on
this continent, and said when we are en-
trusted with our children, who, in their
childhood are pure, how careful we
should be what we teach them and we
should Il OF forget to ask the Lord to bless
and protect them. The teachers of the
youth should teach them true principles.
When we live up to the principles of the
gospel Of Christ and teach them to our
children, they grow up to be useful men
and women.
The law Of onsecration requires us to
consecrate our all to the cause of Christ.
We may have houses and lands but we
should be able to say, Father, here is
all that thou hast given me. for the cause
of Christ, whenever it is needed" and
when we feel thus, we are in the line of
our duty.
Said the happiest life that can be lives,
is the life of faithfulness to the cause of
Christ and in doing our duty to our
heavenly father; and then we can say
with one Of old, "Now, let thy servant
depart in peace"
Brother g. q. Brimhall made good re-
marks on our duties to God and to one
another, and that the angels record our
deeds, whether good or evil.
Spoke of Saul and his prosecutions of
the Savior and how the Lord worked
with him and he afterward cleaved to the
truth.
Referred to speaking evil OF each other
and of robbing each other of our good
name, and when we do so we are trans
crossing the laws of God, and are DOUG
worse than those who steal the property
of his fellow man.
Councillor E. B. Snow announced that
elder Joseph Orion had been chosen for
Ward Clerk, which was ratified by vote.

HCSS limits are for
with customary tbick.
ness but they lack exactness because
tnere is no definite standard for
determining whether a sweet potato
IS large, small, or medium in size
ne quantity of seed potatoes
required by an acre varies even more
widely than does that for given
plant bed, by reason of the fact that
3or more crops of sets are produced.
moreover, the number of plants per
acrve aries in different localities from
5000 to 10000. Hence the follow
ing hgures are presented only as
rather rough estimates. An exper-
fenced New Jersey truck farmer
reports that he is able to utilize.
during the entire planting season
(which is comparatively short in New
Jersey, $500 sets from every bushel
OF small seed potatoes bedded.
In localities where the chief de.
pendence is on vine cuttings from
early plants, much smaller amounts
OF seed will suffice. A Texas farmer
obtained from acre of plants prop
agated by sets sufficient vine cuttings
to supply 2 'or more acres; another
in Florida cut from + acre vines
enough to set out 4 acres.
PROPAGATION BY VINE CUTTING.
Propagation of sweet potatoes by
means of vine cuttings is of great
enconomic Importance, this method
being in general use in the Gulf
States and other States with a
similar climate. Even as far north
as the counties of Virginia lying "a
long the Chesapeake Bay small roots
to be used as potatoes in the follow
ing spring are obtained by setting
out vine cuttings.
The data furnished by growers
seem to indicate that as a general
rule vine cuttings can be set out
with advantage until within 90 to
los days before the average date at
which the first autumn frost occurs
in given locality.
so1L-cHARACTER AND PREPARATION.
The sweet potato makes its best
growth on a warm, sandy, we'll
drained, or even dry soil. Light
loans are also suitable. Recently
cleared ground, if susceptible of
thorough preparation, is suitable for
the sweet potato, provided it is
entirely free from shade. For cold,
compact clay this plant seems to
have an aversion. On Southern
farms the sweet potato is too often
relegated to the poorest fields, under
the scarcely tenable, but widely
current, opinion that rich soil or
liberal manuring making luxuriant
vines at the expense of the roots
The soil should be of such texture
and color that it will not adhere to
and stain the roots. Clay adheres
to the roots and Injuries their ap.
pearance; sand is easily rubbed of
in handling.
Weeds are troublesome and
extensive visitors in the sweet-po'
tato field, and hence the crop should
follow hoed crop. An exception
perhaps to this rule is the growth
