Notes on Sweet Potatoes.

why everybody plants sweet potatoes on
high ridges, writes w. D. Adams in the
Farmer and Fruit Grower. Always high
and usually narrow and sharp, is the
practice. @ 4
When I came South twenty years
ago noticed that practice. and could
not understand it's necessity. No one
could tell me. Well, planted sweet po-
tatoes in the same way without being
able to give any reason for it only that
"what everybody said must be true"
and everybody said that is the way to
''make'' sweet potatoes.
did that for fifteen years. Then
reformed. In November planted the
toughest" piece of land had, turning
under all the trash.
In the spring when my draws were
ready Ispread fertilizer literally broad
cast, narrowed thoroughly and fine, and
then stretched line across the lot and
set the plants by it with rows three and
half feet apart.
They were cultivated with shovel
pillow, and an inch or two of soil drawn
to the vines to cover grass. I have done
so ever since, and am more than ever at
loss to know how anyone ever thought
of putting sweet pototoes up on top of a
high, dry, waterproof ridge.
Another thing. while the Northern
growers of Irish potatoes are constantly
originating new varieties from seed to
replace the old ones that have "run OUT"
our sweet potato growers have done
comparatively nothing in that line.
The old sorts that have been in Guilt
walton for years have usually been prop
agated from culs and strings, and such
runts as were left in the field from the
preceding crop. So it is no wonder that
they have become so "run out" that a
luxnriant crop of vines will often pro
duees a meager crop compared mainly of
strings or illshapen, stringy tubers, and
sometimes scarcely any good tubers at
all.
Not satisfied with the behavior Of the
varieties was growing q should have
said planting) which showed unmistak-
able signs of decadence, l determined
to try for something more reliable and
better bygoing back to seed and starting
a new generation of sweets as is so often
necessary with the Irish potato.
So about eight years ago | planted
seed. One Of those seedlings has proved
just about what want. and fulf1lls my
hopes of progress 1t has sufficient vigor
of foliage with vines of medium or less
length. The tubers are grown mainly
in cluster like the Nansemond though
occasionally one, taking after it's par
ent, will stray away. 1t is sure to make
tubers that are free from stringiness and
of fine, buttery texture, and clear
sugar cane sweet flavor.
On we'll fertilized fine land [ got this
year $50 bushels per acre.
If our people would make the effort a.
this improvement of the sweet potato
that it's Importance demands we would
get kinds as much superior to our pres
emit sorts as the rural New Yorker is to
the ''Leopard" and ''Spaniard" of a
half century ago.

necessary as it is to cultivate our
selves for the temporal duties of
life.
Levi Syphus, of Panaca said
the little study he had made of the
Gospel had been great benefit to
him and knew that this life was not
the beginning of our existence, but
we had an existence before we
came here, but what we had learn
ed there was withheld from us,
but what we learn here will be ad-

and they are here to learn their
duties and there is no place where
we can learn the ways of the Lord

the youth not to spend our lives in

be better in very many ways if we
take upon ourselves responsibilities
that will make us more Industrious
and make us better citizens.

James q. Bleak read number
of letters from the Presidency of
the Church written to r. G. Lund,
d. Fl. Cannon and ID. d. Near
thur favoring the construction of
a railroad from Salt Lake City
through Southern Utah to Cali
fornia.
r. G. Lund said that Cap
italists in the east are ready to
furnish the necessary means to
build and furnish the road pro-
vided the people of Utah show by
their acts that they will assist and
su stain this railroad by bonuses
and concessions that will show that
they will do all in their power to
this end.
Bishop Thomas Judd stated
that we ought to have a controlling
interest in railroad through
this country SO that our own
people can do our work, and not
allow strangers to come from dis
lance to do our work and our sons
doing nothing. While in Califor-
MIA looking up such things as would
be benefit to us in taking care of
our fruit, l found that the farmer
in California was the slave of the
capitalists in relation to their water
for irrigation and we as people,
with our system of cooperation
can do much better than that If we
will go to and take care of water
and not allow others to take up
the water rights and then pay
them for it,
David III. Cannon made few
remarks appropriate to the occas-
ion.
President Macarthur said it is
now near the time to close this
