should be perfectly drained and the

Cotton never grows of rapidly on a
very loose soil For that reason the
land should be prepared two weeks or
more before planting, so that Il viii

be put on top Of the bed after the land

done when the land Is too vet; II Is
better To wait until II has time to dry

POISON POTATO BUGS
WITH LEAD ARSENATE

Have you seen any potato beetles la
your Irish potato patch this spring. II
you have, you should get busy A few
beetles nov. II let alone. will mean an
army later that may seriously iniufe,
II not destroy, your crop,
After paying record prices for seed
potatoes and unusually high prices for
fertilizers, you cannot afford to LET the
potato beetle claim any tribute. This
is the year to make the largest yield
possible as prospects were never better
fer high prices.
IS all growers know, lhe hrst bugs
to appear are the adult beetles which
have winteFed in the soil or rubbish
They are frequently seen flying about
the field waiting for the first potato
shoots to appear After feeding for 4
few days, the females begin to deposit
orahgeeolnred eggs In masses on the
under surface of the leaves, These
eggs hatch, In from four TO seven or
more days. depending on the tempern.
turo, the Shiny looking larvae which
play such havoc with the crop.
On small areas where the beetles
appear In limited numbers handpiek
and destroy as many as possible. Also
crush any egg masses that may be-
seen Then when the colonies OF larvae,
or 'slugs." which hatch from the egg
masses that have been overlooked,
appear. hand pick and destroy them
When. however, the acreage Is too
great. OF the beetles are toe numerous
for the practice outlined, IL Is best to
resort to poisoning by busting the
plants with mixture of powdered as.
senate OF lead and air.slaked lime,
using equal parts Of each. and applying
with eheese-eloth sack or duet gun
For very extensive paintings We
would suggest common afsenical
spray such as four pounds of arsenRte
Of lead paste to 50 gallons OF water
This may be applied by a barrel pump
mounted on a cart, or by any Of the
more elaborate power sprayers with
nozzle arrangement for spraying sey.

Grow Sweet Potatoes For Man
And Beast.

Sweet potatoes can probably be
more largely used toward solving
the food problem than any other
one crop in the list of southern
plants. They are valuable both
as human food and as a feed for
hogs. Yields of from 100 to 300
bushels of potatoes are common.
They may be put out from April.
when the first slips are taken from
the beds. until the first of August,
using the vines and slips at any
time. The Nancy Hall, Triumph,
Porto Rican, Yam and several
other varieties are standards and
may safely be planted for either
food or forage. Potatoes should
be utilized for home consumption
by establishing curing houses
where they may be stored in the
fall and held for the winter and
spring markets. Canning facto-
ries. where accessible, also take
care of surplus potatoes. The un-
marketable potatoes are always
valuable for fattening hogs and an
effort should be made to have
enough pigs on hand to consume
all surplus production.
Potatoes should be planted in
every row possible between now
and the first of August. - w. r.
