CROP ROTATION FOR
THE SWEET POTATO
ROTATION AS ESSENTIAL IN
GROWING SWEET POTATOES
AS IN ANY OTHER CROP.
HAS MANY ADVANTAGES
Aids In Preventing Losses From Die.
eases and In Controlling
the Sweet Potato
WeevIi.

Crop rotation is as essential IN grow
ing sweet potatoes as in growing any
other farm crop, according to NJ. Hull,
assistant horticulturist. Extension Dr.
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 weevil.
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 inGlud-
ed IN the rotation. Some leguminous
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 trebled.
without depressing the Market says
Mr.. Hull. In fact, such increased pro-
duction would be q means of enlarg-
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
Gamers are planning extensive adver-
Using campaigns in those sections.
