For the Florida Agriculturist.
In your issue of August 3, under the
above heading you had an article
from 'Practical Jeff Welborn," copied
from the National Farmer. While
there are doubtless some good points
in the article, at least portion there
of is not understood. | cite the fol
lowing:
"For setting out, sweet potatoes
should be bedded up shallow, har-
rOwed and bedded up again, then
knocked off with one horse hitched to
pole, knocking off two rows at
time"
Just what is meant by the above is
hard to determine. I presume, how
ever, that it is not very material
operation, provided that everything
else, including soil and kind Of potato
is right
Best Vines VS.. SprOuts.-There
appears to be growing SEN
timent in favor of cutting the vines.
Practical potato growers say that the
quantity and quality Of potatoes thus
grown can be materially increased;
also that they keep much better than
potatoes grown from sprouts. The
better plan appears to place the po-
tatoes on a hot bed from 6 TO inches
apart, and | believe that II inches
would be better still. Let the vines re-
main until they are from to 4 feet.
Then cut them off, leaving one leaf to
the stub. Cut the vines into lengths
of three leaves. These cuttings can
then be set in lieu of sprouts, but l
prefer to first root them as follows:

l made up my mind to secure a piece
of land an engage in growing vege-
tables.
The most Of the truckers had fin
ished their paintings, and some Of the

use of planting a crop for market, on
account of the lateness of the season.
