PLANT POTATOES.
This Crop Will Be In Tremendous De-
mand This Year.


There never has been any doubt as
to the success or iralsfng sweet p0-
tatoes IN South Carolina. 1t Is prac-
tically a sure crop and in view Of the
labor situation II Is one of the very
best crops that can bc planted. Every
sweet potato that is grown in this state
is growing to help in the food fight
to win the war. In addition potatoes
in the present market conditions are
n wonderfully profitable crop.
Al the request OF the chairman OF
the food production campaign In TINS
state, Prof Geo. l.. Hoffman. OF Clcm-
son. has prepared n series OF articles
in connection with the planting and
gathering of seed potatoes which VIII
he published from time to time. The
immediate urgency Is in securing seed
stock for the satisfactory planting.
The real shortage of seed potatoes Is
perhaps not realized. and those inter-
ested in the planting Of seed potatoes
should at once arrange to get their
seed Prof. Hoffman has this to say:
with an increase Of nearly three
times the normal selling price COM
bined with a wanton loss Of more
than Is per cent of South Carolina's
sweet potato crop Of the past season.
II Is obvious that the necessary seed
for planting this years crop will be
far insufficient. Therefore. it is i'm
perative that plant dealers and plant
ers make immediate provision for
supplying their needs. Disease free
seed should bc beddcd as soon as pos
sible. This shortage may he sup
plcmcntcd by large per cent, through
early planting of small areas from
which later paintings may be made
by use Of vine cuttings.
"The Nancy Hall and Porto Rico
are the leading and most popular va
ricties In this state. but these varie-
ties not being available no time
should be lost in obtaining disease
free seed or plants OF other varieties
Every effort should be made for the
planting of a sufficient area to supply
home consumption with n surplus for
