SWEET POTATO VINES MAKE
GOOD DAIRY HAY.

Sweet potato zines make excellent
hay If they are cut and cured dur
ing dry weather. Many tons of vines
are lost annually because farmers do
not appreciate their value. according
to G.. X. M,Quarrie, state agent for
the University Of Florida Extension
Division. The right stage to cut the
vines is the most important consid-
Grafton. II they are cut too soon the
stubbles may sprout and impair the
quality of the ptoatoes. If they an,
left too long they become woody and
the quality Of hay is not good.
The best time to cut the vines is
just when the foliage begins to yell
low ana before the main stem be-
comes woody. The following leaves
denote the maximum point of pro-
duction. The potatoes are mature at
that time. If the vines are left in
the field after this stage many of
the leaves will he lost in harvest, and
the foliage is the valuable part Of the
plant for hay.
The best tool with which to harvest
the vines is a Scythe or sickle. A
stubble several inches long should be
left. The potatoes should be dug as
soon as possible after the vines are
removed. The hay is hard to handle
and should he cured without rain If
possible. 1t will be found an excellent
lay for dairy cows.
On thin soils 1t may be advisable
to turn the vines under to add organ
ic matter. Whether this is done will
depend ON the need for hay and the
needs Of the soil. The farmer must
rely on his own judgment.

KEROSENE ENGINES OPERATE
MORE CJlEAPLl THAN
GASOLINE.

In view Of the high cost Of gasoliu,
farmers should hesitate before they
buy an engine which can operate on
gasoline. A number of engines are on
the market which will burn not only
gasoline and kerosene bur crude oil
as well. Kerosene will give just as
much power as gasoline and at re-.
duced price. L. NJ. Rast Of the farm
engineering department of the Uni
verSity Of EiO1da College Of Agri.
culture cites some Of the advantages
of burning Kerosene:
81. Kerosene i. cheaper than aaso.
line. An engine burning 20 gallons
Of kerosene 4 day at II cents a gallon
would save its owner 81. 80 day ov.
or the same engine burning gasoline
at 20 cents - gallon. assuming that II
burned two gallons more Of kerosene
than Of gasoline. A hundred days Of
work AT this saving would mean $50
which shows that there is no ccono.
my in using gasoline engine when q
Kerosene engine can DC had.
'2. Kerosene actually produces
moro power than gasoline. 4 gallon
Of gasoline weighs CTS pounds, while
gallon Of Kerosene weighs G.S
pounds. They contain the same mum.
her Of heat units per pound. namely
1890. Therefore, gallon Of kero.
senc would develop 11.7SO more heat
units than gallon Of gasoline. and
consequently produce more power.
"3. Kerosene is safer To handle
than gasoline. 1his is because gaso.
line evaporatcs great deal more
easily than kerosene and. therefore,
offers more danger from an explo
sion.

The price Of gasoline may drop. hut
