applied in the row where the crop is
to be planted and stirred with the soil
by running a single shovel cultivator
in the row. ridge is then thrown
up over the fertilizer. The fertilizer
should be distributed a few days be-
fore planting begins. SO as to avoid
any burning of the roots of the plants
The soil for sweet potatoes should be
thoroughly prepared before planting.
for this extra labor in preparation will
be repaid by the ease of later opera
tions.
sweet potatoes are usually grown
on ridges made by throwing two to
four burrows together. A planker or
float is then run over the ridges to
fiatten them down and compact the
soil.

suits If clay soils are used the incor-
