CULTURE OF SWEET POTATO
Ono Of the Best Drought Resisting
Plants and viii Produce Crop
With Little Water.

(By FABIAN GARCIA New Mexico Col
lege of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts.J
The sweet potato Is one OF the most
drought resisting plants which we
have in southern New Mexico. 1t will
produce a crop with less water than
any other vegetable. The fact that the
sweet potato Is quite drought resist
ant does not mean that the grower
should not use as much water as Is
necessary to produce a good crop. At
this station from six to ten irrigations
have produced good yields. 1t has also
been observed that II the sweet pota.
toes are kept well irrigated and the
surface soil moist larger crop is pro.
duced and the tubers are nearer the
surface OF the ground than when the
surface soil Is allowed to dry out too
much. II the surface soil dries out
too much the roots of the sweet pota.
toes tend to follow the moisture and
go down deep into the soil. In such
cases there Is a development of the
root seemingly at the expense of the
crop. and the tubers are down quite
deep In the soil besides. It is believed
that II more frequent but lighter irrI-
cations were given instead OF heavy
irrigations at long intervals better re.
suits could be obtained. Aside from a
larger yield the sweet potatoes would
form nearer the surface and It would
be much easier to dig them out. When
the sweet potatoes are near the sur.
face they can be plowed out very
easily without bruising them very
much. II the tubers go down deep In
the soil 1t is quite difficult and ex.
pensive to plow them out without
bruising them.
AS rule In this section sweet pota.
toes are allowed to remain in the field
until the vines have been killed by
the first frosts. To a certain extent
the idea prevails among many farm.
ers that sweet potatoes should be dug
before the frost runs down the vino
into the tuber." AS to whether this
Is fact or not. we have no authentic
data. All that can be said now is that
practically all the sweet potatoes
stored away are dug after the vineH
have been killed by the frost.
Great care must be taken that tho
tubers are not bruised. The less they
are bruised the less loss there will b.
from decaying.

Curing Manoe.

Mango in dogs can be cured al.
though 1t requires patience. First clip
of all the hair on the affected parts.
then apply green soap and allow 1t to
remain five hours. When washed with
warm water the scabs and scurf will
come of. The parts should then be
wiped drv and the following remedy
applied by rubbing 1t thoroughly into
the diseased skin: Kreso. one ounce; ;
oil Of tar one ounce. flowers Of sui.
phur one ounce, lard or vaseline eight
ounces. Mix ali together and rub into
the afflicted skin once daily for three
or four days. then withhold for week
and apply again.

Games for Children.

A young mother said to me the 9th.

l often find just what want. but can
you help me out with new games for

what-to-do question frequently comes
up for mother to solve. hope the
following pastimes will prove interest
Ing, and make loads OF fun for the
youngsters. The first is called HUI
man Nine Pins. The boys are set up
Just like nine pins at the end Of the
room or on the lawn: they stand on

turns. When the ball is rolled they
may hop aside to escape being
touched: but II the ball touches them
are supposed to be knocked down and
out. This continues just like the real
game. score being kept and prizes
awarded.
Young children love this game:
Take barrel hoops and wind them with
gay ribbons or crepe paper. suspend
small bell In the center. Hang the
hoop up and give each guest n small
bean bag the same color as the hoop.
The aim Is to ring the bell when
thrown through the hoop. Five trials
are allowed. the one who rings the
most out Of the nve is given a re-
ward.
A little game called Royalty" needs
an equal number Of girls and boys.
One boy is chosen king" and a girl
as queen" Then they sit in two
rows facing each other. Each follow
er is numbered. At the same moment
the king and queen calls a number.
