Rotation for Sweet Potatoes-Fail
 Flowing Best.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
 Land that is used in sweet potato growing, should be in rotation with other staple farm crops and as a rule the same piece of ground should not be used two years in succession for sweet potatoes.
 A successful Arkansas grower uses the following rotation, with fine re- suits:
 After the crop of potatoes is taken of, hogs are turned in for time 10 pick up the roots. Land is then plowed and he puts in crop of corn in which row of eowpeas is planted during late cultivation. This is followed by winter oats and after the grain is har- vested in the spring, coWpeas are sown broadcast. These are pastured down and followed by sweet potatoes. In case you have no hogs, SOW rye after the potatoes are dug.
 This three-year rotation perhans could be improved by a pasture or grass crop one year, preferably clover.
 1t is best to break the land in fau or winter if possible leaving it rough until spring and then rebreak. This IS not always possible in case winter teaching is apt to occur.
 If the land is broken in the snr,ng keep It we'll worked until planting time. Treat it about the same as corn ground. After blowing the soil should De well pulyerized and allowed to lie idie few days. On well-drained lands low flat ridges give excellent results
