GROW SWEET PoTAyoEs.

Seed TO plant an acre of Irish po
tatoes cost about $40 this spring
Seed sweet potatoes will not cost
more than ~ per acre where vine cut
tings taken from early-set plants are
used. The yield OF sweet potatoes
per acre is usually greater than that
of Irish potatoes and a. a food they
are as nutritious. Sweet potatoes
may be grown throughout the South-
ern States and, OF course. In certain
other sections. Specialists In the U.
s. Department Of Agriculture are
urging an increased acreage of this
crop wherever 1t can be easily grown.
Sweet potatoes. It Is pointed out,
are the south's chief instrument for
a quick and effective increase Of the
food supply. Seed Is plentiful: last
years crop was the second largest
ever produced. By means of vine
cuttings 1t is possible TO plant almost
unlimited areas of this crop and at
the same time conserve the present
supply. That is, farmer who Wish.
es to plant 10 acres will bed seed
enough, say s 70 10 bushels. to get
slips for one acre. Vine cuttings
from this acre would plant many
more acres, paintings being possible
until the first Of August In the lower
South This systam, now widely used
in the South, enables the utilization
Of land from which early potatoes.
cabbage and other truck crops have
been taken.
Sweet potatoes are not expensive
to grow. The main limiting factor to
the production Of vast quantities by
this plan is labor. Yields from fields
set with vine cuttings are as large
as from plants grown from slips. This
method has the further advantage Of
preventing the transfer Of diseases
which are carried on the tubers.
The South doesn't need TO learn
how to grow sweet potatoes, the spe-
cialists point out. Farmers know
how to produce farss yields of this
crop. But the farmer must he I'M
pressed with the necessity OF incrsas-
ing his acreage of this crop. and then.
when harvest comes. to prevent the
enormous loss from improper hand
ling and storing. The best way to
keep sweet potatoes Is to store them
in well-ventilated storage houses. not
''dugouts." Storage houses should be
made ready as soon as possible. In

tions for building such houses and for

centage of the outgoing mail Of this
character had been dispatched.

Of Dec. Is should be taken as the last
day on which Christmas parcels would
be received for dispatch On the con-
trary. the postoffice will make every
effort to handle all Christmas mail up
to the last minute, and the fact that
so many have acted in accordance with
the recommendation that Christmas
parcels be mailed by the 18th. will
make it easier now to handle what
ever may come from now on. The
war conditions affecting the postal
employees and the railroads, with the
added effect Of long period OF bad
weather, has made it very difficulty to
get mail through on time, but the de-
