In a northern seaport town there
is a wealthy but iIliterate man who
owns many vessels and follows their
course over the seas by aid of a large
atlas and a 1O-horse power magnify
ing glass.
I've just had a letter. he said to a
neighbor, from one of my captains,
and he tells me he's been in fearful
storm. I'll read you from this letter
what puzzles me. He says:
The waves rose like mountains.
We were driven before the wind to the
danger Of our lives and put into great

Why and How to
Plant Sweet Potatoes

shovel 1-2 feet apart: then two fur
rows thrown upon each other, leaving
one furrcw to complete the bed. This
gives them a slight elevation above
the level.
Fertilizer.
Fertilizer, anaIyzing about per cent
ammonia, 6 per cent phosphoric acid
and s per cent potash, was broad
casted at the rate of about 1900
pounds per acre, ard when the vines
were a foot long another 1900 pounds
was sown IN the middies
All the ammonia was derived from
cotton seed meal and the potash from
muriatel OF potash. AS a source OF
phosphoric acid I would recommend
acid phosphate. The fertilizer was al
lowed to stand ten days before setting
the plants. 1t should be narrowed in
and the ground bedded Immediately
before setting the draws. The plants
were pulled from the bed and set on
March 1st, and we had new potatoes
on the table May 9th.
However. the crop was not dug un-
til about July 10th, when they were
packed in bushel hampers and shipped
to Boston and Pittsburg, and each
shipment sold at 50 per busIel. In car
lots at this price they would net shout
$1.40. but believe the price could be
easily made $3.50 per bushel
talked with Boston man, and
he said the quality was as fine as he
ever saw. and the buyers came back
to him quick for more. he said he
could have sold them for any price
within reason. should say the yield
was somewhere from 200 to 800 bushels
per acre.
I think well fortified and watered.
$50 bushels harvested July 10th would
be conservative estimate. Now,
think there ara some vegetables that
will sometimes pay better than sweet
potatoes but vegetables are uncertain,
and / certainly do think that, next to
death and taxes, sweet potato crop
grown under irrigation, comes nearer
being a certainty than anything
know Of In point of certainty 1 know
OF no crop to compare with it. Frost
cannot hurt it. With water you need
not fear drought, and at the season
when grown it IS insect free. If cata-
pillars should appear, they can be de-
stroyed with paris green, and until q
few thousand cars are produced each
year in Florida you can depend on
putting your price on them il it is
within reacon. I would not advise
planting without irrigation for an
early market, and only high land
should be planted to this crop.

More than fifteen years ago Lyman
Phelps planted the Jersey sweet potar,
to, and reported very favorabIy on his
experiments, saying that the yield anG
quality were very satisfactory, and
called the attention Of farmers to the
fact that 1t might prove profitable
industry for South Florida.
It wiz be borne in mind that the
Jersey is exclusively q northern po-
tato. especially adapted to the north
ern taste. Our yams. 50 popular in
the south, meet 3 very cold reception
in the north. even during the period
OF its greatest scarcity there.
It viii be remembered, further. that
Florida's opportunity to put early po-
tatoes IN the northern market ahead
of other states is just as good as it is
in the vegetable line, and be it further
remembered. that Florida farmers have
been, and are now. sleeping over one
of their golden opportunities.
South Florida could. and should.
market to a handsome profit 5000 cars
of Early Jersey potatoes annually. and
she has never sold one car yet. We
can select the time Of greatest sacrc-
tato on the market. and they can be
sold for six to eight dollars per b rel
easily. MY experiments this year were
conducted on irrigated land, and the
results were highly satisfactory. The
variety planted was big Stem" and
the seed were bedded out in February,
the same as other varieties are bed
ded.
Preparation Of Seed Bed.
A good plan for seed bed is to
open out beds Ave feet wide, the
length depending on the amount to
be bedded. The dirt is taken out to
a depth of three inches and pulled to
each side of the bed. Fill the bottom
Of bed with two inches or stable ma
nure. Then place the potatoes on the
manure one layer deep. Place enough
dirt on the potatoes to barely hide
them. Keep them well watered, and
after each watering go over and cover
all exposed potatoes.
After the sprouts begin to appear.
cover bed with pine straw about one
inch deep and put on one inch OF dirt
on top Of straw. Keep the bed wen
watered, taking out the slips about
once each week. OF course all weeds
and grass must be pulled out. If
abundance Of water is provided the
beds may be drawn from weekly for
several months.

BIG ROADS

A dispatch from Sleepy Eye, Mimi,
says: THE most largely attended
and enthusiastic good roads conven
ton in this part of the state was held
here. Five hundred farmers including
every road overseer in the county,
large delegations of citizens from New
Ulm, Springfield and other nearby
towns were in attendance in addition
to several hundred local citizens.
Free dinner was served TO 500 per-
sons at the high school by the domes-
tic science class. Albert Hauser, pres.
ident Of the good roads committee, pre-.
sided at the convention. Preceding
the speeches the Sleepy Eye band and
a male quartet gave several excellent
selections. The speakers were George
NJ. Palmer of Mankato, and Professor
Solberg Of the Brookings, s. D., agri-
cultural college. Both talks were in
structive and well received by the
audience. Definite results in the way
of highway improvements in this coun.
ty may be expected"

sPoiLS A GOOD

r. NJ. Crawford called on US Saturday
to tell us that the milestone on dis
play in front of the Bank of Brookings
and mentioned in our last issue as the
n that was used to grind the set
tiers -four during the memorable win
ter of 1SSO-S1, was a fake. Mr.. Cra"-
ford did the grinding of the flour dur
ing that winter and therefore is in a
position to speak authoritatively. He
says that the mill used was a small
one brought here from Iowa by a man
named Painter, who lived in Trenton
township. The mill vas about five
feet high and the burrs used in it bore
no resemblance whatever to the stone
recently found. Mr.. Crawford said
he disliked very much to spoil a pretty
story, but that the truth should pre-
vail. He says that Painter moved to
Clark county and took the mill with
him.

READY
FOR ROAD WEEK
MAY 10Th TO 25TH INCLUSIVE
ARE THE DATES FOR GOOD
ROADS WEEK.
SUBSCRIPTION LIST TO Be STARTED
People of Brookings City and Along
Line Of National Highways Are
Asked For Their Support.

Prof. II. c. Solberg, the good roads
advocate, has issued the following
statement relative to Good Roads
week:
In an address on good roads before
the Farmers Institute in Brookings,
March ), 1912, | submitted a PROPOSE
tion for a good roads week for Brook
ings county. This idea seemed to
meet with general approval.
AT the regular meeting Of Brook
ings commercial club, March Sth, the
following resolution was adopted by a
unanimous vote: Whereas, the Chi
cago, Black Hills, Yellowstone Park to
Coast Highway, as we'll as the Winni-
peg to Gulf Highway passes through
the city of Brookings and whereas,
considerable work is needed on these
roads: Therefore, resolved, that the
Commercial club of the city of Brook
ings favor a good roads week for all
the counties in the state through
which these roads are located. That
the time be set for the Goth to the
25th Of May inclusive. It is recon-
mended that the minimum amount of
business be planned for that week and
that all business men, all professional
men, everybody turn out and join with
the farmers either by labor or cash
and with n united effort put these
roads in a first class condition.
IN conformity with the above ideas,
and in order to enable the good roads
committee to determine how much
work can be done, subscription lists
will very 500 be circulated through
out the city, as we'll as in the county
along these proposed highways, in
order to give every person, and every
business enterprise a chance to sub
scribe what they will donate for good
road purposes.
"Brookings is the central point, from
which this good roads movement has
spread, not only over South Dakota.
but over Southern Minnesota and
Wyoming as well. 1t will soon spread
further.
1T is up to Brookings city and
Brookings county to make good by
getting into the game by actually
putting our roads in a first class con
dition.
Hence everybody will be asked to
contribute for this purpose. When the
parties come around with the subscrip-
ton lists be liberal.
When the roads are finished we
will all be happier for having con
tributed something for the benefit of
the community in which we live"
