drilled in two three wells northeast of

In climates that are suitable a sweet
potato crop is one of the most profitable
crops that can be grown. A sandy loan,
recently cleared, is most suitable. If old
lands be used it will be best to restore
the new ground principle to as great an
extent as possible by previously turning
down some suitable green crop, such as
cow peas. The entire crop should be
turned down. The roots and stubble fur
nish only about one-fifth of the nutrient
properties of the plants and consequent
" they are not sufficient for improvement
purposes. When this vegetable matter
rots it will make the much needed humus
that virtually restores the new ground
principle Said green crop should be
turned down several months before the
potato plants are set. 1t is best to fer
tilize the peas literally so as to obtain a
heavy growth of vines and thereby insure
a good crop of potatoes to follow.
Fertilizer for peas: Mix 400 pounds OF
Muriate of Potash with 1900 pounds Of
Acid Phosphate to make ton. Apply
600 pounds per acre of this mixture IN
31s feet drills and mix thoroughly with
the soil, preferably a few weeks before
seeding the peas Twelve pounds of seed
peas per acre will be ample for forage

should be thoroughly cultivated from the
start to finish. The peas will gather NJ

that have been applied. that is, potash
and phosphoric acid, will be returned to

Sweet Potatoes--New Points on Cutting Vines.

With three feet drills the plants can be
properly cultivated after each rain, thus
pushing them ahead. When the draws
attain a proper size pull off about three
fourths of them and transplant IN the usrl-
al way. / am in favor of cutting off the
roots little above the first or bottom
leaves and TRANSFORMING the tops only A
few plants with the roots on, may be
transplanted for early potatoes.
When the vines run or a feet cut off
to inches of the top ends and trans
plant in the usual way. Suckers will
soon appear. When these suckers attain
length of to inches cut off, removing
with each sucker one Joint and one leaf
Thus continue until all the suckers are
removed and transplanted.
If preferable the vines can be cut into
lengths of two to three leaves each and
transplanted at once. 1, however, prefer
the sucker system, setting the cuttings
from two to three inches deep To do
this construct a hole of proper size and
fill with water After the water has dis
appeared ill again, place the lower end
of plant in the water and fill with soil
b a proper depth; the water IN Che hole
will rise as the soil is added. Do not
press the soil; the water will settle it
sufficiently Said watering will save the
plants without further trouble and is
more convenient than roofing them ac-
cording to former plan. Cut vines will
exceed draws in yield and will also keep
better.

the soil when the peas are turned down.
Consequently but little or no additional
fertilizer will be required for the potatoes
following the peas. Nevertheless it is of
ten advantageous to apply an additional
quantity of potash, because sweet potatoes
are gross feeder of this element.
An acre of sweet peas is worth at least
six times as much as an acre of corn.
and consequently it pays to fertilize liber-
ally and cultivate thoroughly to insure
a heavy yield.
Some new points relative to cut vines:
In growing a crop of potatoes much de-
IN other to economic with ground, espe-
cially when a hot bed is constructed,
usually place the potatoes too close on
the bed A spindling growth of sprouts
is thus developed. Distance in this case
surely pays. Far north where it is neces-
sary to construct hot bed the potatoes
nay be placed endwise in parallel rows
IN the bed about u inches apart. In the
South the potatoes may be sprouted by
means of gentle warmth. Then con-
struct drills in the open air three feet
apart and place therein a proper quantity
of manure and mix with the soil. Then
place the sprouted potatoes endwise in
single rows, one row for each drill, and
over BY developing a growing state be-
core the potatoes are placed they are not
apt to rot on the bed and the plants, by
'esson of said preparation. will also be
earlier thus to great extent, dispens-
ing with a hot bed.

Not only is the producer destined to
De a serious sufferer IN their present IN

the country are finding great trouble IN
