family or species; and that the vines
will make the tubers in the same
way is purely and simply an acci-
dent. Yet so it is in my experience.
One year, in particular, I recollect,
that l had only about a one-fourth
stand of Irish potatoes. 1 went
through my patch, cut off the tops
of the potato vines, stuck them in
the ground so as to perfect my
stand, and that year raised more po-
tatoes than l ever did before, or
ever have since.
The vines seem to me to yield
quicker and to make finer potatoes
than the tubers themselves. 1 gen.
orally plant the vines, pouring some
water in each hill, but when we
have wet spell the watering
is unnecessary. My experience has
been that the Irish potato vine roots
even easier than the sweet potato.
You should cover as much of the
vine as possible, as the potatoes
make in the joints; and hence the
more vines planted the better.
have only raised potatoes in a
small way in this manner-in my
garden, but believe it could be done
on large scale, planting the pota-
toes in beds just like sweet potatoes;
and having the ground very rich, so
that the vines would be luxuriant
and plentiful.

Editorial COmment.-One of the
evils of the credit system which has
become so securely fastened on the
farmers of the South is the tendency
to buy things on credit at prices far
above what would be paid if bought
for cash. Of course, time purchases,
or articles bought on the installment
plan of payment, should be at a
higher price than cash purchases,
but many people are induced to buy
things on credit, and pay double
price, who would not buy the same
article at any price and pay cash.
The latest and most extensive
means of fleeing the farmers, since
lightning rods, sewing machines,
etc., have been worked to the limit,
is the selling of ranges or kitchen
stoves worth not over $50 to $40 at
$75 each.
The good women in the farm
homes need these ranges and we
would not say one word against their
purchase If they were bought on a
reasonable business baisis. The
ranges must be paid for sometime
and since we have done without
them for all these years, would it not
be the part of wisdom to put off
buying them until the time set for
paying for them in these time pur-
chases? Then, with about half the
money the same range can be bought
and the balance used for the pur-

ANOTHER GROSS EVIL OF THE
CREDIT SYSTEM.

Messrs. Editors: I think you have
taken good stand on the patent
medicines. 1t looks to me like the
stove agents will bankrupt the
South. They have sold and deliv-
cred about five carloads at SIS each,
from the little town of Pontotoc.
They are the slickest takers know
of. They talk poor men into buy
ing against their wills. They will
get many hard-earned cotton dollars
shis fall that poor women will drag
their children to the field and make.
I think you ought to devote some
space in each issue Of your valuable
paper to tell the people how to talk
to dead-beats. Right now while
write an agent is passing my house
with two $50 stoves to pack off on
our men at SIS.

We are simply appealing for COM

against the payment of too much
