There is no reason why Irish and
sweet potatoes should not be cultivated
extensively in the SOUTH the Irish potato
being grown for an early spring crop
and the sweet potato as a summer and
late fall crop. Irish potatoes do best
on soils which contain fair supply OF
vegetable matter and is of loamy char
acter. They require liberal fertilization.
From 500 to 1000 pounds of high grade
fertilizer should be used. This fertilizer
should contain not less than to 10 per
cent of phosphorus. 6 to per cent Of
potash and per cent If nitrogen. For
sweet potatoes a formula containing 10
per cent of phosphoric acid, 2 per cent
of nitrogen and 8 per cent of potash Will
be found about right Sweet potatoes
will grow on much sander and thinner
land than Irish potatoes. Like any
other CROP however, they respond well
to good treatment, but should not be put

riched with heavy applications Of yard
manure. The land should be we'll pre-

where a good yield is secured and fair

potatoes is remunerative one; quite
as much so as the production of general

Good varieties of Irish potatoes to Gull
