TIE SWEET POTATO a MANY
SIDED CROP.

Clemson College, Iune 10.-Wheth-
er 1t is to be used as food for the
table, as a feed crop for animals or
as producer of starch or industrial
alcohol. the sweet potato is probably
one Of tho most profitable crops the
South Carolina farmer can grow
Investigations made at Clemson Col
lego by T. f. Keitt, chemist Of the
South Carolina Experiment Station,
and others. covering a period of
about fifteen years, have secured for
the farmers Of this State almost COM
plete Information about this valuable
crop. All this work Is summarized
In Prof. Keitts bulletin No. r65 on
Sweet Potato Investigation" which
can be of great value to any planter
in his sweet potato culture. Other
bulletins on the subject are No. TAG
and No. l56.
Prof. Keitt found a light sandy
loan. moderately supplied with or
ganic matter. to be the best soil for
this crop. Rows should be slightly
ridged and about two and one half to
three feet apart, according to the va
riety planted. Plants should be
placed from eighteen inches to two
feet apart in the row.
The best method OF planting sweet
potatoes is with cuttings from vines.
II slip beds were not set out early
enough this year for plants to be
sufficiently large for good vine cut
tings at this time, or if no slips were
grown. 1t is advisable for one to buy
cuttings from neighbor. Planting
slips Is more expensive than plant
ing vine cuttings. Besides, the fungi
which produces rots are less likely to
be carried on a vine cnt.ing than on
slips pulled directly from the old po-
tatOes. Thus potatoes grown from
vine cuttings will probably be frcer
from rot than those grown from
slips. 1t Is an easy matter to- get
enough vines for cuttings if seed po-
tatoes in sufficient quantity are bed
ded early enough.
"A fertilizer suggested for sweet
potatoes is 500 pounds kainit, 800
pounds cotton seed meal and 200
pounds of 16 per cent phosphate.
This should be applied at the rate
of 500 to 1000 pounds per acre.
Frequent shallow cultivation is i'm
portant in sweet potato growing. as
I'm the culture of many other crops.
After large number of variety
tests made ut Clemson College, Prof.
kcitt found the hest variety for ta-
bic use to he the Nancy Hall. with
the Fulleton Yellow Yam and the
Pumpkin Yam next. For stock feed
Ing purposes. nc advises Nancy Hail,

doncc. Myers Early. Red Jersey and

gust i To January I. For starch

AT THE EMPIRE.

For the first time in the history
of the world the public is being given
a chance to see in all its blackness a
true picture of the nations scourge-
the cocaine habit, through the six reel
photodrama, THE Drug Terror"
which comes to the Empire theatre
for four days beginning tomorrow.
This moving picture shows in perfect
detail the conditions that caused Mrs.
w. X. Vanderbilt to start her great
campaign for the saving of drug-en-
trapped human souls. 1t lays bare
the innermost secrets of the under
world. 1t exposes the tricks and hOr-
rible schemes of the cocaine manu-
facturers and sellers to spread this
frightful curse through the land. 1t
shows how drug "f1ends" and white
slavers work hand in hand, for one
evil easily leads to another. 1t shows.
and this is the most horrifyfng part
of the cocaine sellers trade, how chill
dren, some of them mere babies, are
given drugged candy, ito make future
customers 1t shows how young
girls are made "fiends" by snuffing
the deadly powder from nosegays pur-
chased from the corner florist.

WAGNER'S REVIEW
Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago. April 22.-Corn sentiment
as shown in the printed newspaper
opinions shows a great change. There
is to be these levels and while no cum
ulative advance is ordained corn VIII
be allowed and helped TO bulge. Cash
corn sales on Tuesday were large at
100000. Our New York correspond
ents wire that while all hands in Chi
cago are working for corn rally the
eastern situation contains no bullish-
ness. Failure of wheat to break ser
iously is winning friends. The neces-
sitv of liberal rains is harped on.
There is also a tendency TO hope for
provision rallies. The general list IS
thus I'm a sturdier position. Any liquid
alton in the May grains will now bring
the July and September stuff into
bargain position. Wheat and oats are
always a purchase May 1. Wheat COM
plants broadened yesterday, but news
papers do not give this proper atten-
ton, nor are they discussing the moist
ure of 1914. We do not think grain
advances will be cumulative, but be-
lieve there is purchasing tone which
will improve. Cables are higher. and
this gives our market a chance 10
adopt a more confident tone. Twenty
reports arrived first mail today. Wheat
in Illinois doing fairly well. but many
OF too dry from Illinois and
Indiana. Oats being slowly seeded.
Farm work 10 days to two weeks late.
No damage to wheat by freeze is re-
ported.

Grain List Awaits May Adjustments.
Chicago, April 22.-The accumula-
ton OF Chicago cellar supplies TO
around the highest totals in five-year
period against May / still burdens pro
vision prices. Lard stores Will IN
crease during the summer. Pork
amounts are below 1912, but in gen
eral way the supply totals remind of
1912 when July ribs and lard sold
near 1Oc in May and July pork touched
$500.
BY tacit consent OF general senti-
ment corn now enters debatable
ground. The necessity of a drag 10
lower levels is illogical. The markets
will struggle during the next eight
sessions with the encumbrance of May
delivery news nd adjustments.
The narkat might Nav at
around these levels, but corn is still
suffering from loss of bull prestige. In
its role of an abandoned cereal il does
not promise wonderful rallies.
September oats near 80 cents are
en- an economic bedrock level. At cur
rent prices they represent a new
l .2O0,00O,000 crop in much the same /
degree that September wheat at So |
On the 1.l2O. 100000 oats crop of 1913 /
oats expired around Ale.
Prior to completion of May deliv- |
cries the grains may fail to uncover /
strong permanent rallies. The Next /
can combination is considered favor /
able to cotton. but without effect on
the grains Blockade and not war is
intended and the newspapers are fool
ishly premature.
February rail operations as an
nounced have decidedly unfavorable
flavor in the met" results. The steel /
industry IL at so low an ebb that some
seem certain. Six per
cent is too high an interest burden for
railroads to carry on notes and heavy
OF this class lie ahead.
Wheat complaints broadened today
To date west Kansas, west Nebraska,
northern Indiana and parts of north
west Ohio are the complainers. In
diana reports of freeze, fly and drouth
effects are steady. The wheat crop of
1914 Will evidently not escape the us
Ial May fears.
