GET JACKS READY

The breeders of jacks are encour-
aged by the recent action of the Ken
lucky State Fair Board when it al
lowed extra prize money for six new
rings for jacks and jennets. This ac-
ton was taken at the request of the
jack breeders of the State who had
raised SITS for additional prizes at
the 1919 show. This brings the total
prize money for Jacks and jennets to
$3.50.
Every farm paper is urging better
brood mares on the arms to rear bet
ter mules. Fine mules are sired by
splendid jacks and nothing can do
more to improve the jack stock in
Kentucky than big exhibition of ami
mails at the State Fair next autumn.

GROWING OF SWEET
POTATOES DISCUSSED
Value Of This Important Food Crop
Has Doubled During the Last
Ten Years.

Washington-Irish potatoes as a
commercial crop, has rapidly grow
ing rival in sweet potatoes. Within
the last 10 years the farm value of the
latter crop in this country has doubled
and now is second only to Irish pota-
toes in commercial Importance. To
assist growers who are not familiar
with the culture and storage Of sweet
potatoes, the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture has recently pub
lished Farmers Bulletin 999, Sweet
Potato Growing" which discusses the
subject from the preparation of the
soil and growing of the plants to har-
vesting, storing, and marketing the
crop.
Sweet potatoes can be grown under
wide range of conditions for home
use, says the bulletin, but when they
are to be produced commercially care
full consideration should be given to
the necessity Of suitable soil, favor
able climate, accessible market, ample
transportation, and proper storage.
Storage is of great importance, for If
the crop is improperly cured and
stored It will decay rapidly and the
whole years work will be lost But II
is possible by improved methods to
hold sweet potatoes for several
months at practically no loss.
This crop is propagated by plants
produced by sprouting sweet pota-
toes in warm sand. Potatoes from
which the plants are to be grown
should be planted In early spring in
hotels. In the South, where no bottom
heat Is necessary. cold frames may be
used successfully. Good plants are ne
