Editor UNION:
Dear Sir: A copy of your pa
per fell into my hands the other
day, which interested me more,
perhaps, from the fact that St.
George was, for many years,
my home; and it is natural for
anyone to be interested in news
from their old homes-and T think
perhaps a few lines from one of
your old acquaintance would be
OF interest to you. This has been
an unusual spring in this country,

manure, or by the application o.
water.
The preparation of a plant bed in
which artificial heat is used is thus
described by sweet-potato grower
in New Jersey:
"SeleCt location where sufficient
rise can be had, say, foot in 20.
Build a furnace of brick to burn
coal or wood; if you wish to use
wood build not less than by feet.
The top of the furnace should be
depressed about 3 feet below the
bed and covered with soil so as to
avoid danger of fire. Take 3 rows
of S or 6-inch tile for Aues and run
them about three-fourths the length
OF bed; here we have a hot-air space
about foot deep running all under
the bed. Cover this space with
boards and put a board chimney at
the upper end, with damper to reg
ulate draft. Keep damper we'll
closed to hold the heat. Beds
should be about IL feet wide and
from 4S to 100 feet long"
On the plank floor of the bed is
placed under the potatoes layer of
about S inches of sand or soil, The
potatoes are covered with earth as
IN bed warmed by manure. The
tiues may be made of brick instead
or tile. AS an extra precaution
against fire a coat of asbestus paint
may be applied to the woodwork of
the bed. The bottom of the bed
may be level, the slope of the ground
giving the necessary grade to the
fiue, and the hollow space between
the bottom of the bed and the
ground should be closely boarded
in. By excavating, the bed may be
brought down to the level of the
ground around.
PERIOD OF GROWTH OF SETS.
The sweet potatoes intended for
seed purposes should be bedded &
or weeks before the date on which
1t is expected to transplant the first
lot of sets.
The sets are large enough for
transplanting when their length
above ground is d to E inches if thew
are sufficiently tough to admit of
handling. If they are ready before
a safe date for setting in the field or
before the ground is ready, Oemler
recommends that they be detached
from the parent roots, and in pro-
tected situation "heeled in" like
strawberry plants awaiting trans
planting. Their early removal
allows younger sprouts an opportu-
nifty for growth. At least three
crops Of sets-three "drawines"-
may be obtained, although growers
desiring an early crop may be able
to utilize only one or two of these
drawings. The sweet-potato plant is
very susceptible to cold, and the sets
can not be transplanted with safety
until danger of frost is past.

Sweet Potatoes: Culture And Uses.
(Continued)


The amount of manure required
depends on climate, season, char
acter of manure, and to less degree
on some other factors. Experienced
growers in localities where early
sweet potatoes are grown for market
endeavor to use such an amount of
manure as will keep the soil around
the bedded roots at about IS to SO F.;
during the first few days after bedd-
ing the soil is sometimes allowed to
warm up to s. or 90. In the Gulf
States the usual depth of manure is
to S inches, while in New Jersey
depth of IL inches is not uncommon.
The manure should be rather coarse
manure which has not been repeat.
edly heated; when applied it should
be moistened, and then leveled and
packed.
The movable cover of the bed
may be either of litter, boards, cloth,
or glass, depending on climate, sea-
son, and degree Of forcing desired.
Glass is most satisfactory when an
early crop is desired, but it's expense
is against its use in many cases, and
cloth oiled with linseed oil is SUBJ
stituted. After the
sprouts appear above ground they
should be toughened by a process
of gradual exposure to the outside
air, raising or removing the cover in
suitable weather. The bed should
be kept moist but not wet. If
necessary the bed should be watered
before and after the appearance of
the sets, and should be protected a.
gainst heavy and cold rains.
If the heat from the fermenting
manure becomes excessive it may be
reduced by removing the cover of
the plant bed, by making small holes
in the soil down to the layer Of
