the potatoes on a little loose soil In
a cool, SHADY place, covering the

ing it thoroughly AS soon as the
tubers sprout they are planted in the
field for the late crop.
Potatoes are planted 12 to IA inches
apart in rows two and one-half to
three feet apart and covered to the
depth of about four inches. Potatoes
planted during hot weather should
be covered six inches deep unless
they have been sprouted before
planting. The furrows are usually
opened with "A One-horsc turn plow,
or lister, and the potatoes dropped.

of the furrow
AS it requires two or three weeks
for potatoes to come up, 1t is impor-
tant that they be cultivated as soon
as the row can be followed.
Use of CultivatOrs.
If L crust forms before the potatoes
come up. spike-tooth harrow or
waeder should be run over the
ground to loosen the surface OF the
soil. Harrow-toothed cultivators
should be used for the main cui!Va-
ticn, but at the last cultivation the
soil NAV be worked up around the
plants to hold them erect and to pro-
tect the tubers from the sun.
After digging the early potatoes
they should be kept in a cool. dry
place during the hot Gather OF sum-
mer Fall-grown potatoes can be
kept in a dry cellar, in pit, or in
any building, where the temperature
can be controlled. Irish potatoes
keep best in cool temperature, but
should not be allowed to reach the
freezing point. 1t Is best not to al

Varieties recommended Irish Cob
bier, Bliss Red Triumph. and Bliss
White Triumph arc good early pO-
tatoes. Where only one variety is to
be grown, the Irish Cobbler is rec
commended. The same varieties may
be grown for the fall crop, or the
Green Mountain, which Is n late va
riety, may be used.
For Sweet Potato Crop.
The sweet potato is not usually
handled as a garden crop in the
South. but it is advisable TO have n
few plants in the garden for early
summer use. On land that is rot
thoroughly drained. sweet potato
plants should be set on ridges which
are thrown up by means of a plow.
Two or four furrows arc usually
thrown together. and lCvclcd off
with light drag. The ridges should
be broad, as narrow sharp ridges dry
out quickly.
The fertilizers recommended fer
general garden treatment will be
found satisfactory for sweet pota-
toes. The roots that are too small
for marketing are usually used for
seed. For an early crop the roots

plants are easily injured by cold,
they should not be transplantcd until
danger Of frost has passed. For the
general crop in the lower South. Sc
lect a protected location, preferably
on the south side Of building or
fence, and bed the roots in the open.
One Common Method.
A common method Is to make an
excavation six inches deep and OF
sufficient size to accommodate the
roots to be bedded. Place in this a
layer of sand or loose soil. on which
to bed the sweet potatoes. Put the
roots close together. but do not
allow them to touch, and cover them
with sand or loose soil one to two
inches deep. Soil on which sweet
potatoes have been grown should
not be used for the seed bed Ten
bushels of sweet potatoes will fur
nish enough slips to plant an acre.
From these slips. II set out early,
may be taken enough vine cuttings
to plant seven or eight acres.
Vine cuttings may be planted as
late as July in the upper South and
as late as August in the lower South
They will produce as large crops as
slips, with less danger from diseases
which affect the roots.
Dig Only On Bright Day.
Sweet potatoes should be dug on a
bright day when the soil is dry. The
time for digging varies in different
sections. but the potatoes should be
dug before there Is any danger OF
hard frosts.
When grown on small scale,
sweet potatoes may be dug with a
spading fork. Great care should be
taken not to bruisc or iniure the
roots in handling.
After digging, the roots should lie
exposed for two, or three hours to-
dry, after which they should be
placed in a warm. we'll ventilated
room, The temperature during the
curing period of about ten days
should be about so to so degrees
Fahrenheit
After the curing period the tenn
perature should be lowered gradually
to about IS degrees Fahrenheit and
held at that point during the re-
mainder of the storage period. A
small crop may be cured near the
kitchen stove, and afterward stored
in dry room, where there is no
danger Of their becoming chilled.
Handle sweet potatoes as little. as
possible.
Varieties recommended: Pumpkin
Yam. Dooley, Nancy Hall, Triumph.
and Southern Queen. Where a dry
hcshed potato Is desired. Improved
Jersey, Big Stem Jersey, and Tri-
umph are recommended.

potatoes, read Farmers Bulletins 324

soon as the soil can be put in order
in the spring. The first paintings
should be of small growing, quick
maturing varieties, such as Alaska,
First and Best. and Gradus. which
do not require supports. These Va
rieties should be followed by the
large wrinkled type of peas, such as
Champion of England, Telephone,
and Prize Taker. The large growing
varieties should be SUI ported on
brush, ON strings attached to stakes
driven in the ground. or on wire net
ting. In order to have a continuous
suppy of peas, paintings should be
made every ten days or two weeks
until warm weather. Peas should
be planted in late summer and au-
tumn for the fall garden, for which
the early varieties are more desir-
able than the late ones.
Ras should be planted about two
or three inches deep In rows three
to, four feet apart. Some gardeners.
planting In double rows six inches
apart with the ordinary space of
three to four feet between these

tice with varieties requiring sup
