Increase the Acrpa-e Of Sweet
Potatoes in the South.
COST Less 10 PIamt-Pr0dQce
More Food Per Acre Than
Irish Potatoes.

Seed to plant Al acre q Irish
potatoes cokt abou! $50 this year.
Seed 4%eei potatoes will not cost
more than 81 per acre WHARF, vins
cuttings taken from early-se!
plants ara used. The yield Of
sweet potatoes Per acre is usual!
greater than ih2t Of Irish pota-
toes and as a food they are nutri,
tious. Sweet potatoes may be
grown throughout the Southern
States and, of course, in certain
other sections. Specialists in the
L. S. Department Of Agriculture
) are urging an increased acreage
Of this crop wherever. it can be
easily grown.
Sweet potatoes. it is pointed
out, are the South's chief instru-
ment for a quick and effective
increase Of the food supply.
Seed is plentiful; last years crop
was the second largest ever pro
daeed. By means Of vine cut :
tings it Is possible To plant al
most unlimited areas Of this crop
and at the same time conserve
the present supply. That is, a
farmer who wishes to plant II
acres will bed seed enough-say
s to 10 bushels-to get slips for
one acre. Vine cuttings from
this acrs would plant Tany more
acres, paintings being possible
until the first of August i'll the
lower South. This system, now
widely used in the South, en-
ables the utilization Of land from
which early potatoes, cabbage,
and other truck crops have been
taken.
Sweet potatoes are not expen-
sive TO grow. The main limiting
factor to the production Of vast
quantities by this plan is labor.
Yields from fields Sc. with vine
cuttings are as large as from
plants grown from slips. This
method has the further advantage
OF preventing the transfer of dis.
eases which are carried on the
tubers.
The South doesn't need to
lean how to grow sweet potatoes,
the specialists point out. Farm
ers know how to produce large
yields OF this crop. But the
farmer must be impressed with
the necessity of increasing his
acreage of this crop, and then
when harvest comes, to prevent
the enormous loss from improper
handling and storing. The best
way to keep sweet potatoes is to
store them in well.Yentilated
storage houses, not "dugouts."
Storage houses should be made
ready as soon as possible. In
Farmers Bulletin 54S, Storing
and Marketing Sweet Potatoes
Instruction for building such
houses and for converting old
and old unoccupied buildings are
given. |
