NORTH FAVORS THE

By John K. Cooper, Arkansas College
OF Agriculture.

The average annual production II
sweet potatoes in the United States
ls about 60OOO,O0O bushels Except
for comparatively small areas in Kan
5as, Iowa, Ohio, New Jersey and Del
aware, which are adapted TO sweet
potato growing. the production is all
in the Southern States. Until recent
ly practically no sweet potatoes we're
shipped North. The garden sweet po-
tato OF the North and the potatoes
produced in the Isolated districts al
ready mentioned ars Of the Jersey
type, which is dry ard msaly. Until
recently the Northern consumers
have demanded such potatoes. Now,
however, the North wants, and de-
mands Southern sweet potatoes Of
the Nancy Hall type, We must SUD-
ply this demand. To 90 so We must
increase our acreage and our yield
per acre. It IS easy to do the form-
er, and the latter, while not quite so
easy will not be difficult.
With rows four feet apart and
plants 18 inches apart in the row,
1000 slips Will plant an acre. A hot
bed and three bushels Of good seed
will furnish the slips, Our average
production has been about 80 bushels
per acre. Gy using go2d seed free
from disease, this yield can be
trsbled.
Pick out a well drained, protected
spot and make a hole y inches deep,
six feet vide and as long as neces-
sarv TO accommodate the necessary
amount OF potatoes. Each bushel
OF seed will require about 10 square
feet or an area Of 2 l-2T6 feet Build
a board frame around this hole Make
It a fow inches higher on the north
side. Pack to 10 inches OF fer.
manting manure into the bottom Of
tho pit. Cover with or inches Of
soil. A few days later or as soon as
the temperature OF the bed tallS y
85 degrees, bed the potatoes,
Use only clean seed. Potatoes
showing evidence Of disease should
be thrown away Treat seed before
planting by soaking for 20 minutes in
a solution OF one ounce Of corrosive
sublimate IN eight gallons Of wafer.
Handle this solution wieh care as It
Ia very poisonous.
Use clean soil or sand TO Coverthem.
Potatoes should not be allowed TO
touch each other IN the bed. Press
them firmly into the soil about one
half inch apart and cover with tnrn9
or four inches OF light soil or sand.

WILL PROMOTE EDUCATION
The Significant Movementof the
Times Is Thatof the Centenary
of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South--WilI Spend Mil
lions Among the Uneducated.

The fact that several thousand sol
diers were unable to understand the
orders given them from their superiors
and that many, many thousands could
not sign their own names to their
uuestionnaires brought to light a con-
dition so serious that TWO Southern
Representatives at Washington are
now introducing bills to promote the
education of iIIiterates throughout the
length and breadth of America. Sena'
tor Hoke Smith, Of Georgia, has intro
duced a dill in the Senate TO promote
the education Of iIIiterates, Of persons
unable to understand and use the Eng
Lsh language, and other resident per
SOUS Of foreign birth" and the same
measure has been introduced in the
House by Hon. William B. Bankhead,
of Alabama.
The introduction Of this important
bill means a great deal to the South,
which, because Of it's negroes and
mountain whites, has long borne
reputation for uIitaracy out Of proper
ton to that OF the rest OF the coun-
try. Just what steps will be Immedi,
ately taken as the result OF the passage
of the education Of Illlerates bill at
Washington cannot be stated at this
time, but, certainly, practical meas,
ures will be put INTO operation for the
establishment Of schools in both rura!
districts and cities.
Other organizations besides that OF
the government are at work on the
same Droblem-Jle establishment Of
schools in the heart OF tenement dis
tricts and rural communities being
matter OF first importance with all OF
them. One Of the most significant
movements Of the times in this con
uection is that Of The Centenary or
