Americas grocers are selling the few
sweet potatoes procurable at the rate of
S1.5O per bushel, and find it difficult to
supply, the demand even at that high
figure, An acre of Sumter county land
will produce from 300 to 500 bushels
potatoes at total cost of probably $40
for cultivation. Figure the margin of
profit. During the fall months several
thrifty farmers shipped carloads of po-
tatoes from Americas to Atlanta and
Birmingham, received about so cents
per bushel, net, and made big money at
that price There is nevera glut of the
sweet potato market, and as the de-
mand promises to greatly exceed the
supply for an indefinite time prices
will not decline. The farmer who
plants sweet potatoes as money crop
makes no mistake.

Farmers Here viii Reduce Their
Purchases,

Americas fertilizer dealers are not
selling as much guano this season as
last year at this time. From present in
dications the use of fertilizer in Geor-
gia for the coming cotton season will
be diminished about 20 per cent, MOI
from any lack of desire on the part OF
farmers to enrich their lands, but solely
on account of the inability of the rail
roads to handle the shipments offered.
The only hope to supply more than sc
per cent, of the farmers who desire to
use fertilizers is in longer season, in
which event a larger number of orders
could, of course, be filled.
