URGED TO PLANT
SWEET POTATOES
Is Practically a Sure Crop And
Especially Attractive Owing
To Labor Shortage.

Columbia, 8. C.-There never has
been any doubt as to the raising OF
sweet potatoes In South Carolina. 1t
is practically a sure crop and In view
Of the labor situation It Is one OF the
very best crops that can be 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 con,
ditions are q wonderfully profitable
crop.
At the request Of the Chairman OF
the food production campaign in this
State, Prof. George P. Hoffman has
prepared a series OF ar4cles in CON
nection with the planting and gather.
ing Of seed potatoes, and viii be pub
lished from. time to time. The imme.
diate urgency ts In securing seed stock
for the satisfactory planting. The real
shortage Of seed potatoes is perhaps
not realized, and those Interested in
the planting Of seed potatoes should
at once arrange to get their seed.
Professor Hoffman has this to say:
with an increase Of nearly three
times the normal selling price com
bfned with q wanton loss Of more than
rs per cent Of South Carolna's sweet
potato crop Of the past season, It is
obvious that the necessary seed for
planting this years crop will be far
insufficient. Therefore, It is impera-
tive that plant dealers and planters
make immediate provision for sup
plying their needs. D~isease.free seed
should DO bedded as soon as possible.
This shortage may be supplemented
by a large per. cent through early
paintings OF small areas from which
later paintings may, be made by use
Of vine cuttings.
"The Nancy Hal and Porto Rico are
the leading and most popular varieties
III this state. but these Varieties not
being available, no time should be
lost IN obtaining disease.free setd or
plants of other varieties. Every eff.
fort should be made for the planting
Of a sufficient area to supply home
consumption With . surplus for the
local market:
"The5 planters Of South Csrolina
have been asked to increase by 90 per
cont the crop Of last year, which was
bushels, produced % 10000
acres. This necessary. increase may
be easily obtained BY the planting IS
. minimum Of one.half ecre per pillow.
From 5000. TO 10000 plants will
be needed for! planting one acre or
5000 to 10000, btshelsp Of seed stock.
Small potatoes ara equsliy as good
and will furnish. . greater numbse of
plants. per given Quantity than will
the larger roots, therefore; planters
are advised. TO use the smaller potar
toes" o.
