Bedding Sweet Potatoes

How many thousand pants vii
zach bushel Of sweet potatoes pro-
3uce? How many square feet will
rho bushel bed? How much time
8lould be allowed for getting plants
lhrge enough to set?
It depends on the size of the seed
potatoes used. A small one will
make as many sprouts as a large
aae AMI will take less room, and
ahere will be more in a bushel. A
Gn8bel will bed from Is to 20 square

.or bedding, from late summer
satting5 aill furnish 5000 10 the

crop will not make SO many. Bed

You will have plenty of plants ready

We are all glad to have Miss N.Y.
tie Morrison back home again; she
brings good news and that is, she
has improved in health.
A pleasant evening was spent in
a social way on Tuesday evening
The number in attendance was
nearly double that of any previous
evening. Some OF the parents came,
which is as, it should be. Let us
all try to get better acquainted with
one another, we will think more of
the other fellow" as we learn what
his real self is, and know of the
trials and burdens he has to bear
Tuesday evening Mrs, Robt. Rus
sell got news that her mother had
been taken suddenly i'll and she
hurried over to see her; at this
writing we have not learned her
present condition but trust that she
is better. The family have our SYM
pathy and prayers for her speedy
recovery.
The Sunday School was well at
tended in spite of the snow storm
then raging. By the way, bow lit
tie we know about a real raging
storm here in this sheltered valley
of East Tennessee. This is about
the best and most favored place in
the world we think.
We have begun to hunt up the
farm tools and get them out ready
for the first day that is dry enough
to make garden. 1t looks a bit dis
courging for early garden but we
hope our rough weather is about
over.

NOT DEPENDENT ON COTTON
Southern Farmer Who Sets Out to Get
More From His Land May Do So
by Good Diversifieation.

After all, the cotton growers OF the
South will not fare so badly because Of
the European war;" said Col. H. L.
Holt of Birmingham, Ala, to Wash
ington Post reporter the other day.
This years crop was so big that had
there not been a European war the
price Of the staple would not have been
high. Before the crop was made we
were talking about Is and Ia cent cot
ton, but when the government report
indicated that nearly, If not quite, as
much cotton was grown as in 1911,
when the highest mark was reached,
the market became weak. doubt IL
we should have received more than 8
or 9k cents. AS 1t is, cotton Is selling
at IL cents and is moving up fast to
the eight-cent level.
There seems to be a decided i'm
provement in general trade. This cot
ton scare has had its good effect Many
farmers already are making plans for
diversifying their crop next year.
know of one farmer who has shown
the possibilities of planting small
grain. In 1918 he made LOO bushels
of oats on Is acres, and this year he
made 600 bushels on ten acres. He
has been getting 81 bushel for his
oats from his neighbors. His yield
of cotton, he told me, is bale and a
half to the acre. So you see the south
ern farmer who sets about to make his
land pay all that is possible can do
so. He need not be dependent on any
one crop. All that the land In the
South needs is little fertilizer prop
erly applied, intelligent diversification.
and rotation of crops, and it will pay
as well as any farming land of the
western states"
