The sweet potato is probably native
to tropical America 1t is tender to
frost and is not grown commercially
to any extent north OF New Jersey.
In gardens It is grown as far north
as Maine and Michigan. 1t is extern
sively grown all through the south
and in California. Tie chief states OF
production are the Carolinas, Georgia,
Texas. Alabama. Mississippi, Virginia
and New Jersey.
Sweet potatoes may be gathered
for the table as soon as they are large
enough. The main crop should be
left in the ground until the tubers
mature. This is told by breaking the
tubers and exposing them to the air.
II they are mature enough for storing,
the original color is maintained; II
not. the broken surface turns black
or greenish color. In any case they
should be gathered Immediately after
a frost. Before digging. the vines are
cut and cleared away and the tubers
then dug with a hill sweep pillow or
like tool. After drying in the sun for
a few hours they are gathered into
small piles. where they remain until
removed from the fields.
Sweet potatoes do not keep long un.
der the best method of handling and
the most efficient method of han
ding and OF storage is still an unset.

AGE FOR WEAVING THE FOAL
Period VIII Vary With Conditions, But
Should Be From Five to Six
Months-Feed Some Grain.

(By F. W. BELL. Agricultural College
OF TexasJ
The age at which the foal should be
weaDed will vary somewhat with con-
ditions. but will be from five to six
months OF age. II the mare is not fur.
nishing much milk. or is needed for
steady work, the foal can be weaned
at four and one-half to five months old.
If, on the other hand, the mare has
full flow of milk, and is not needed
for hard work. there is no need to
wean the colt before it is six months
old.
If the foal has been given a little
grain from the time 1t is month or
six weeks old, gradually increasing
the amount to meet his appetite, he
will gradually reduce the milk flow
or the mare so that the weaving proc
ess will be a very simple one for both
mare and foal. When they are separat-
ed they should be kept entirely apart.
for the weaving will require much
longer If the mare and colt are near
enough to hear and see each other.
To dry up the mare after she is
taken away from the colt. her grain
ration should be cut down and some
of the milk should be drawn from her
udder three or four times day, ssad+
ually decreasing this until the flow
ceases entirely. After weaving 1t Is
best to work the mare right along, but
II she is not worked her grain ration
should be very materially reduced
until she is dry.

tied one. Large handlers store them
in dry rooms having good ventilation
and keep the temperature at from so
degrees 10 65 degrees F. When the
tubers are first put In storage and are
going through the sweating period the
temperature is run up to SO degrees F.
The common method Of storage is to
put the tubers In a cone-shaped pile
containing 80 to 90 bushels Over the
pile a layer of fine dry straw or hay,
then a layer of corn stalks. and on the
top of this two or three inches of dry
sand is placed. The whole is then
banked two or three inches deep with
heavier soil.
In South Carolina many growers
store their sweet potatoes in cotton
seed bulls and dry sand, and they
keep very well. A good crop OF sweet
potatoes will run from 200 to 400 BUSH
els per acre. The cost of production
is about $40 per acre. In some locali-
ties sweet potatoes are grown extern
sively for stock. Hogs relish them
and do their own digging. For horses
and cattle the roots should be sliced.
Sweet potatoes contain 4 to per cent
OF sugar and 16 to IS per cent OF
starch. They contain considerably
more fat than Irish potatoes and on
the whole, have somewhat greater
food value.
