COMMERCIAL GROWING OF SWEET
POTATOES.
A Crop Easy to Observation-Disclosures Of
Planting and cuItivating.

Sweet potatoes thrive on a mod
erately fertile sandy loan which does
not contain an excess of organic
matter They are frequently grown
upon almost pure sand, especially
where the subsoil is a yellow clay.
Soils containing considerable calcium
or underlain with limestone are well
adapted to the growing of the crop
The sweet pototo Is exceptional in
that fairly good crop can be grown
upon soils that are too poor for the
production of the majority of farm
crops. Sweet potatoes yield a fair
crop on the "wornout" tobacco and
cotton lands of the South, especially
when used in a rotation including
some leguminous crop for increasing
the humus in the soil. Like many
other crops, the sweet potato thrives
on newly cleared land, but the crop
should not be planted continuously in
the same place. With the sweet
potato, as with other crops, rotation
is the keynote of success.
After blowing and fitting the land
1t is generally allowed to lie several
days before being put in shape for
planting. If level culture is to be
practiced, the only thing necessary

Fig. S.-Roller for marking distances to plant
will be to run the harrow over the
soil once and then mark in both direc.
lions at the desired distances for
planting. The marking is generally
done with either a one-horse plow,
a fiat-soled marker, or a disk marker.
The disk marker is well adapted to
this work, as it throws upga slight
ridge which furnishes fresh earth in
which to plant. Some growers who
practice level culture mark the ground
with small one-horse pillow and
throw up a slight ridge upon which
to plant; behind the pillow a roller is
used to compress this ridge to a low,
fat elevation.
Where the more universal ridge
method of planting is employed the
soil is thrown up by means of turn
ing pillow or a disk machine. The
ridges should be made at least one
week before planting, in order that
the soil may become settled and COM
pact The majority of sweet-potatoe
growers make the ridges whenever
the land is in good condition to work
and then either roll or drag the tops
just ahead of the planters. BY using
roller similar to that shown in the
ffure the ridges at one operation
can be rolled and marked the proper
distances for planting. A drag suit
able for smoothing the tops of the
ridges can be easily constructed by
Cheating together three pieces of 2 by
4 inch scantling.

location of the plants will be indicated

by cross marks, but for planting upon
ridges it is necessary to provide some
means of indicating the distances.
This may be accomplished in several
ways, but roller of the type shown
in figure having cleats nailed at
equal distances around its surface is
desirable and serves the purpose of
both rolling and marking the ridges.
Another device is constructed along
lines similar to those of the ordinary
wheelbarrow, pegs being placed upon
the rim of the wheel to mark the
planting distances. In using the
wheelbarrow marker it is simply
pushed along the top of the ridge.
Another device of this class is con-
structed by placing three or four
wheels upon a long axle and drawing
1t with a horse, the wheels being so
arranged that they can be set at any
point on, the axle to provide for
change in width of row.

Fig 1O.-A trowel and Deen supplement-
a dibble used in setting ed by the results
gained by numer-
GUS observers. The diseases of the
sweet potato are now widely dissent
mated, and one or more of them may
at any time prove destructive.
A system Of crop rotation by which
the land will not be planted to sweet
potatoes oftener than every four or
five years is the first step toward
disease control. Care in the selection
and keeping of potatoes intended for
propagation is of Importance, while
clean cultivation and proper handling
at the time of harvesting are essential.
Diseases will generally make their
first appearance upon cut, broken, or
bruised potatoes, and all that are In
any respect injured should be stored
separately from the seed and perfect
seock. The storage house should be
cleaned and fumigated with sulphur
or formalin before storing begins, and
al crates or baskets used for hand
ling the crop should be in the house
during the fumigation. Potatoes that
show evidence of the presence Of
disease should not be used for prop
agation, and the hotbed should be
cleaned and supplied with fresh soil
each season
1t is very apparent that some
varieties are more subject to the
attacks of diseases than others. The
Gig-Stem Jersey and the Jersey group
generally are especially subject to
while varieties of the Hay

A disease known as stem-rot causes
the stem of the plant to begin to die
at the surface of the ground. This
decay gradually extends downward to
the potatoes and /. equently kills the
entire plant.
The disease known as soft-rot, dry
rot and white-rot are all similar in
their method of attack to the black
rot. One form, known as soil-rot,
causes the loss of the crop while it is
in the field. Each of these diseases
is caused by particular fungus, but
has received the common name sug-

some marked characteristic. Any
