MODERN METHODS OF STORAGE
TO CAUSE GROWING OF POTA-
TOES TO EXPAND RAPIDLY.
GOOD MONEY CROP
Growers Are No Longer Forced To
Rush Sweet Potatoes To Mar
ket and Accept Low
Prices.

With the rapid extension OF the
modern methods of storage, the sweet
potato can and should be made che
OF Louisiana's biggest money crops.
Our state has thousands or acres
Ideally adapted to the growing OF this
crop, and our seasons and climatic
conditions are unequaled in any otn-
er section of the country.
The sweet potato is growing in
greater demand each year. Carloads
are now being shipped to sections OF
the United States where only a few
years ago Ii was almost unknown ex-
cept TOR a period of few weeks dur
ing the autumn. The increase or IN
terest in the sweet potato as an ar
ticle of food is both cause and re-
suit OF the modern methods of stor.
ing and curing. The farmer is no
longer forced to rush his crop on ths
market at the time of digging, there
by Cutting same and suffering from
the resulting low prices, but can
store the crop and place II on the
market when the prices are attrac-
tive.
Illustrative Of what can be done
with sweet potatoes, the success OF
several growers, this past season, is
given: Several employees of a lum-
Der company purchased from the
company twenty acres of cut-over

the growing of the crop and left a

grower was paid by the owner of

a sixteen-acre patch as it stood IN

the harvesting of the crop. Another
grower harvested ten acres, sold part
of his crop for $1,000 and is holding
the rest, 500 bushels, for $500 per

HIGH YIELDING COTTON
VARIETIES PAY BEST

The best yielding varieties Of cot
ton produce twenty, thirty, and even
forty per cent more cotton than the
poorer varieties, as shown by reports
Of Southern experiment stations, ac-
cording to w. r. Perkins, director OF
extension, Louisiana State University.
''The popular varieties Of cotton
change so rapidly, on account of new
ones being brought out and old ones
renamed. that it is difficult to name
the best varieties" says Prof Perkins.
The important point is that the vari-
ETY. should be pure; that is, every stalk
should be similar in appearance and
in productive capacity to every other
stalk. The art of making the best cot
ton crop on given piece of land con-
sists in having as many stalks as there
is room for of variety in which ev-
cry stalk will produce its full quota Of
cotton. A mixed or hybrid variety will
never do this, because great many
Of the stalks will be barren or will be
shy producers. Uniformity in color
and general appearance are very good
indications of variety.
1T would be unwise. however, for
cotton farmers to depend wholly upon
improved seed as a means of increas-
ing yields, for it must be remembered
that fertile soil is the most impor-
tant factor in successful cotton grow
ing. 1t is very poor policy, indeed. |
