Sweet Potatoes.

II wish to grow a crop of
sweet potatoes for market.
What kind of manure and
how much. an acre must I use!
Do you think it wise to mix
a little acid phosphate in
manure in bedding it to rot
by next spring to use in drill
for tobacco?'
For sweet potatoes use 500
pounds an ace in the furrow
under the bed made of one
third cottonseed meal and
two>thirds acid phosphate.
Mixing acid phosphate with
manure will very greatly in
crease the efficiency of the
amanue. But instead of pill.
ing II. to rot, [ would get the
manure out on the tobacco
land and spread it broadcast
as fast as made during the
winter, and then use some
fertilizer in the hills The

Get a Wheel Hoe.

A friend tnld m= recently
that by using a wheel hoe or
push pillow in cultivating his
garden he is able to do the
work in one hour, whereas
in the past when he used a
hand hoe, it took him at
least a day. He also stated
that after finishing work he
felt like a ''gent]eman,'
whereas with the old practice
Of using a hand hoe he was
worn ont and his hands were
blistered. L. this not good
evidence in favor Of getting
a push plow for use in your
garden this year? [ will,
however, add an extra quota
ton from another friend as
follows: "Give me a wheel
hoe and you can burn up all
your hand hoes so far as I
am concerned."- Crider,

Farmers Urged To Order
Fertilizer Early

The shortage of freight cars
may seriously delay the fertilizer
movement and defeat the plant
early" idea that is being advoca-
ted by everyone engaged in the
anti-bollweevil cam paign. AS a
rule, the average farmer does
not concern himself over rail
way problems, car shortage, etc.
because relatively few of them
ship in car load quantities, but if
the present car shortage exists
at the time the farmers usually
order out their fertilizer, ne mat
ter whether the quantity is one
ton or one car load, if the cars
cannot be had in greater number
than the present supply, many
farmers will be. disappointed by
not receiving his fertilizer int.time
to plant his cotton and other
crops and thus: take . the first
practical step to get ahead OF
the boil weevil.
The Industrial and migration
Department of the Gulf q Ship
Island R. R. is trying in every
way it can to induce all farmers
to order out their fertilizer i'm
mediately in order..that they may
not be disappointed by delays
owing to our, shortage, conges
ton at terminal points, and many
other reasons which may cause
serious loss if this important
part OF the farmers work is moi
attended to before it is too late
Next to early plowing and prep
aration probably there is no more
important thing for the farmer
to do than to order his fertilizer
out in advance of the time he
needs it.

NOVEL SCHEME OF SICK MAN
Patiea+ Borrowed Money From PhysI.
clan to Pay Surgeon, Then Failed
to Make Good.

Some time ago an eminent physi
clan requested an equally eminent sur
geon to accompany him to see dis
tinguished patient, and he readily
agreed. The patient fwho was al
ways very loath to pay his debts) was
exceedingly polite to both the medical
men, shaking hands with them and
bowling them cut of the room in the
most affable manner.
Soon after this professional visit the
same physician called again on the
surgeon, requesting him to accompany
him to see another patient. On their
way thither the surgeon remarked:
II hope this patient will behave
more literally than the last did,
Why" said the physician, did he
not give you fee?"
"Not a shilling" was the reply.
"Indeed!" said the other, with
toss of his head. "Why, he borrowed
five guineas off me to give to you."-

ing an institu tion in Mississippi

from deep wells, and the build
ing committee will do all in its
power to advance the work Of
construction.
