WARNING TO SWEET
POTATO GROWERS

. Clemson College, Sept. 21.-
Sweet potatoes should be dug be-
fore frost or continued cold wealth
er approaching frost according to
the Extension Service horticultur-
lists, who warn that the sweet pota-
to is tropical plant and that both
vines and roots may be damaged
by temperature above the frost
point.
The prevalent idea that the vines
must be frosted before the pota-
toes are dug is wrong and the prac-
tice is dangerous. 1t is unsafe to
wait later than the dates below to
gather potatoes. Many growers
who waited until frost last year lost
their entire crop, regardless of the
kind of storage facilities.
The approximate earliest date Of
the first killing frost in the Pied
mont section is October %. in the
Sandhill section November l. in the
Coastal section November. 8.
Of the two evils, immaturity and
frost injury, the former is least in
furious, as the immature potatoes
can be kept, while frostbitten po
tatoes cannot be kept under any
condition
Vines should not be removed ex-
cept from potatoes to be dug the
same day. Experiments and o3ser-
vations indicate that potatoes SO
treated are hard to cure. However
if frost kills the vines before po-
tatoes can be dug the main stem
should be clipped at base of plant
before thawing takes p ce.
The house should filled within
two or three days. and curing
should begin on first day. depend
Ing on weather conditions and con-
tinued ten to fourteen days depend
ing upon weat' er conditions.
There is more danger resulting
from under-curing than over-cur-
ing, the latter being indicated by
the appearance of long sprouts. a
condition which is undesirable but
more safe than the absence of all
sprouts.
Those interested in building Of
a sweet potato storage house or
the harvesting and handling of
sweet potatoes should write to the
