SWEET POTATO AS STARCH PRO.

Average Content Over 20 Per Cent
Florida Soil Grows $50 Bushels tG

= est. Cloud Tribune.)
The starch of commerce is very large
| ly manufactured from corn, potatoes
and rice. Potatoes are largely used for
/. this purpose on the Continent of Eu-
rope, rice in England and potatoes and
corn in America. In the selection of
starch-producing plant two essential
points must be considered. First. the
Yield of starch per acre, and, secondly.
the cost of separating the starch.
The South Carolina Agricultural Sta
ton recently made some studies on the
sweet potato, which have an important
bearing on this point. Analyses of sam
Piles of potatoes from different sources
showed an average starch content of
over 20 per cent, and in some cases as
high as rs per cent. "Tf
This shows that the amount of starch
yielded per acre by sweet potatoes is
largely In excess of that yielded by
cereals. The sweet potato also appears
to have some advantage in this respect
over the white potato, which Is SO
largely used in Europe-the question Of
yield, cost of production, changes that
may take place in storage, cost of man
ufacturiag, and finally the properties of
the starch itself.
30 In regard TO yiel0 we VIII say tnat
in Osceola and many of the surround
ing Counties the estimate made of 200
bushels to the acre would be small.
Three hundred, and even $50, bushels
are frequently grown on single acre,
even in poor soil, in Florida. 1t is claim
ed that a. given amount of starch is
produced at a muchGless cost in sweet
potatoes than in cereals and white po-
tatoes. However, in considering the
value of the sweet 1potato for starch
manufacture 1t must be noted that there
Is a large change Of starch into sugar
in storage. Thefextent of the loss from
this source depends largely on the mat
ter and length of TIME of storage.
The questions involving the manu-
facture of the starch on a large scale
and the fitness of theoproduct for sizing
and other purposes can be best deter
mined by a factory test. 1t is believed
that the results already obtained are
sufficiently promising to justify those
who are interested IN this subject in
trying to have a factory test made.
Sweet potatoes contain much less pro-
tein than cereals, ana the refuse would
furnish "a less valuable by
product.

Spencer Hyney, Sharon Springs, N.

from st. Cloud, where he had been
spending some weeks. He is enthusiasts

the more charmed he was with the
place, and now ne proposes to locate
