Planting and Cultivation Of Sweet
Potatoes.

mixed with the soil before the bed is
formed, with small pillow OF some
kind. The bed should be allowed to
stand several days before the potatoes
are planted, so that it will settle, and
when the potatoes are planted the soil
will not pack. The plants should be
put in the row about one and half
feet apart, depending on the fertility
of the soil and the variety of potato
planted.
The chief cultivation needed by the
potato after it is planted is frequent
shallow cultivation to preserve the
moisture and to keep down the weeds
and grass. This should be kept up I'M
til the vines have formed thick mats
between the rows, when it is best to
discontinue it, as the vines will be
injured. Large punches of weeds or
grass should be pulled out by hand,
however, to keep them from stealing
needful food and moisture from the
plants
The best implements to use in the
cultivation of potatoes are some form
of one-horse cultivator that will run up
close to the plants, without injuring or
covering them up. Scrapes or any other
implement giving close and shallow
cultivation may also be used There
are also great number of hand imple-
ments which are especially made for
this use.

(The Reveille.)

The sweet potato which Is one Of
the leading crops of the South, may be
grown as far north as New Jersey. The
chief requisites for a good growth in
this crop are warm climate; long
growing season; plenty of moisture
during early growth; plenty of sun
light, and loose warm soil
The soil to which it is best suited is
a sand or sandy loan which is we'll
drained and warm However, it is
not confined to this soil alone, but will
grow on any warm, we'll drained soil
that contains large amount of lime
and humus. The chief element that is
needed by this crop is potash, but large
amounts of nitrogen and phosphate are
also used.
There are two general methods of
propagating sweet potatoes by slips
grown in bed from seed, and by vine
cuttings. In the first method seed
potatoes are planted in a bed in early
spring and sprouted In the North
these beds are supplied with artificial
bottom heat, but in the South are sup
piled by decaying organic matter or
humus When the slips are about six
or seven inches in height they are
transplanted to the field. In trans
planting great care must be taken to
give the young plants sufficient mois
ture until they start their growth. A
good way to do this is to dip the roots
of the young plants in a batter of soil
which serves to give good contact
between the roots and the soil mois-
ture.
Propagation by vine cuttings is very
common in all potato sections, but
there is a great deal of discussion as
to the ACCESSIBILITY of this practive.
The chief advantages of this method
are that a larger acreage may be plant
ed from fewer seed, and therefore it is
more economical than the other method.
Also the plants produced from cuttings
are usually sounder and less likely to
| have such diseases as black rot How
ever, it has been shown by a good
many experiments that the yield of
potatoes from the cuttings are usually
not as great as from the slips Also
| it is claimed that when cuttings are
taken from plants it weakens them and
consequently cuts down their yield. The
ladvisability of using cuttings is de-
termined by the cost of seed potatoes,
the presence of diseases, and the acre
age to be planted.
Slips grown on beds are usually trans
planted from about the first of April
until the first of the summer, while the
cuttings are of course set out little
later. 1t is best to plant them so that
they will have at least three and half
months growth before the first frost.
AS the potato needs loose, mellow
soil for it's best growth, give the land
a thorough preparation before plant
ing. This is best done by blowing deep,
early in the season, and then following
this with repeated borrowings, until
the land is in fine condition. Then the
land should be thrown into beds, three
to five inches high, and about three and
a half feet apart. These beds are
formed by throwing the dirt up over a
furrow, in which the fertilizer, if any
Is to be used, is put If the fertilizer is
put in these burrows it should be we'll

NEWSPAPER TALK.

The sight Of Booker T. Washington,
the dusky president of negro college,
travelling throughout the State of Lou
isiana and speaking in the public halls
of a number of our cities, attended by
many prominent white men and women,
who did all in their power to show
their respect and appreciation of the
worth Of this prominent member of the
negro race, was a refreshing and in
structive thing for those people who
imagine that negroes receive little or
no respect in this state. 1t is an in
dubitable fact that every honest, indus
trious man, be he white or black, re-
ceives a just amount Of respect among
all his neighbors, and all right-thinking
people in Louisiana recognize and ap-
preciate this fact.-Colfax Chronicle.
There is however one sort Of social
equality in Louisiana, to be dreaded,
and so long as white men practice that,
the State can never claim to have risen
superior to the race problem.
