be set from the first half of May to the first part of June, and after the latter date, it is best to extend the acreage with vines, or cuttings, from the earliest set slips. These latter may not make as large a yield as the slips, but they make crop of uni form size, and generally quite free from disease, and in general to be preferred for seed stock.
 5. Distance Apart-On good soil with reasonably high fertilization, the sweet potato can be grown quite close in the drill, and the yield accordingly increased without detriment to the soil Under average conditions, good distance is three and one-half feet between the rows and eighteen inches between the plants in the drill. This gives a little better than 5000 plants per acre.
 6. Methods of Setting-Where a considerable acreage is set out, it is best to use a two-row plant setter. Such a machine could be purchased and operated jointly by number of farmers in a community. Small acre ages can be economically set with hand-setting machines, or the plants dropped the proper distance and in- serted in the soil by hand, with the dibber In any event, the soil should be we'll prepared and the setting done at time when the moisture condi tions are favorable.
 :. Fertilizers-Few crops respond so readily and profitably to proper fertilization as the sweet potato. It is an easy matter to increase the yield from 75 to 100 per cent with ferti lizers. In general, it is best to use complete fertilizer, especially on old land If fresh land is used for pota- toes, little or no nitrogen need be used in the fertilizer. Ordinarily, leEllllZeI COuldluIHg dUOut O per cent phosphoric acid, 3 per cent nitrogen and per cent potash will constitute a good sweet potato fertilizer. The rate of application should run from 300 to 600 pounds per acre, depend ing on the strength of the land and previous cropping. AS rule it is best to apply all the fertilizer in the drill and get it thoroughly incorpor ated with the soil before the plants are set. Divided applications of fer tilizers on sweet potatoes have not been found profitable.
 8. Cultivation-As above intimat ed, it is best to do large part of the cultivation of sweet potatoes before the plants are set in the field. It has never been found profitable to at tempt to turn the vines and cultivate after the vines have become inter- laced between the rows. After the plants have started into growth, the

 The very general interest manifest ed in the commercial culture of the sweet potato in this section justifies an intense study and treatment of the subject We find that great many farmers are planning to put in quite an acreage of potatoes this spring, a few expect to build and operate their own curing and storage houses. while most of the growers prefer to organize and build cooper ative houses on rather large scale
 As the season is close at hand now for the planting of potatoes, no fur ther time should be lost in getting ready for growing the crop. The profits to be realized from sweet potato crop, like other commercial vegetable crops, depends on number of important factors, of which the following are the chief:
 1. The Soil-The sweet potato de- lights in a warm, we'll prepared, fair ly fertile, loamy soil. Thorough pre- paration in advance of planting the crop, and good drainage are probably the factors of most importance, aside from fertilizer requirements.
 In the consideration of this subject, it is assumed that the grower al ready has made provision for his plants, or will shortly do so. If he has not bedded out sufficient seed for his acreage, it will be necessary to place an order for plants from those who have them for sale, and this should be done as early as possible, so as to avoid delay.
 2. Preparation of the Soil-The potato is little difficult to cultivate and keep free of weeds and grass, once the vines have started to run, hence it is better economy to give the land good preparation before the plants are set, as by this means the first growth of weeds is destroyed, and the soil is accordingly placed in a condition of good tilth and rem dered more retentive of moisture, and subsequent cultivation made much easier.
 8. Varieties. There are very large number of varieties of sweet potatoes, but in the South there are not more than three of commercial importance, and one of these three occupies a place of commanding inn portance The Nancy Hall, the Porto Rico and the Triumph are the varie ties of greatest commercial import ance in the South. and in this section only the first two need receive any attention. The Nancy Hall is now the best known and most extensively grown variety of sweet potato in the South, and when properly cured, its consumption and sale in the northern and western markets is steadily on the increase, while the Porto Rico is more restricted in demand, but prob ably equal to the Nancy Hall in both quality and yield. The Nancy Hall having become our leading commer- cial sweet potato, it is accordingly the variety to grow.
 1. Time of Setting-The sweet po- tato being a hot weather plant, noth- ing is gained by planting before the coming of permanent warm weather Where potatoes are grown conner cially for the purpose of curing and storage during winter, there is nc special need of hurry in getting the plants set in the field. Slips should

THE COTTON MARKET
New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov 30.-After a
session of minor fluctuations. both
above and below the level Of yester-
days close, the cotton market today
finally closed at net gains Of to lie
points. The chief argument in favor
of higher prices was the persistent re-
port that important spot interests were
long of December and were preparing
to take UP considerable cotton in that
month. The argument most used
against prices was that there was no
great ACTIVITY in the spot department.
After advances of TO IL points
around the opening, in response to a
better Liverpool than due, the market
commenced to lose ground under
claims Of an easier spot basis in some
of the western belt markets, although
a little later Dallas wired that the
basis there were hardening and points
in Georgia claimed that buyers for
Carolina mills We're paying the highest
basis since last September. Prices slid
off TO declines of s TO 10 points under
the close Of yesterday before the down
ward trend was checked This carried
January down to 1914
The claims concerning the intentions
of large spot interests concerning De-
cember commenced to have their effect,
and toward noon prices were at their
highest levels. at rise OF 25 to 81
points over yesterdays finals, which
made January 17.15. During the re-
maInder of the day there was a ten
dency toward small Says.
