CROP ROTATION FOR
THE SWEET POTATO
ROTATION AS ESSENTIAL IN
GROWING SWEET POTATOES
AS IN ANY OTHER CROP.
HAS MANY ADVANTAGE IS
Aids in Preventing Losses From Dis
eases and in Controlling
the Sweet Potato
Weevii.

Crop rotation is as essential in grow
ing sweet potatoes as in growing any
other tdrm crop. according TO NJ. Hull.
assistant hortiCulturist, Extension DI.
vision. Louisiana State University. In.
creased production. soil improvement,
and reduction of injury from insects
and diseases are chief among the ben
efits derived from this practice, he
says.
A rotation in which sweet potatoes
are grown on the land once in three
years, combined with seed selection
and disinfection, is not only effective
in preventing loss from stem-rot, black
rot, and other diseases, but also in
controlling the sweet potato weevll.
A rotation including crops of diff
ferent feeding habits and which pro-
vide green manure for turning under,
builds up the fertility of the soil and
gives larger yields OF all crops includ-
ed in the rotation. Some leguninous
crops, such as velvet beans, soybeans
or cowpeas, should be used in order
to supply nitrogen as well as humus
The sweet potato is one of Louisi-
ana's best money crops and its produc.
ton could be doubled, or even trebIed,
without depressing the market, says
Mr. Hull In fact, such increased pro,
duction would be a means of enlarx.
ing the markets. Although each year
witnesses an increased demand for
Southern sweet potatoes in the mar
kets of the North. East and West. the

EUer1ts of he Day
 Al the State Capital
By WILLIAM L. GORMLEY

Montgomery, June 4.-(Special)1I.o of more than Ss0 per day in the operation of the shuttle train service between Flor ence and Sheffield, in the nitrate plant gene, is shown in a letter from E. H. Coapman, federal manager of the South ern railway, to Samuel F. Kennedy, pres- iGent of the Alabama public service com mission. Service between those towns re- gently was naugurated upon an order of the commission, following a hearing of complaints of Florence business and pro- fessional men.
 Mr. Coapman, whose office is in Wash ington. wrote Mir Kennedy the average daily receipts since the trans were start ed has been $S50, while the daily expense has not been under $90. The letter made 10 comment on conditions brought about by the inauguration of the shuttle train service. It seemed to be the intention Of the railroad official only to place the matter before the commission president forshis information
 Starting of the service resulted from strong agitation by the business men of the two cities. MT. Coapman came to Montgomery and after explaining how his lead was handicapped during government control, agreed to cooperate with the two towns in an effort to better conditions Inauguration of the shuttle Frain service resulted, and now it is found it does not pay the company even the expense of operating.
