BY the State Immigration Department
from reports Of county assessors, was
6,635,339 acres, or about 1850 acres
less than the acreage under cultivation
In 1919. The 1920 season was much
more favorable for crop production,
however, than the previous season, and

But the value Of the crop was more

Best Time to Plant
Sweet Potatoes
Is Almost Passed
BY n. @. sTUCKEY
(Director, Georgia Experiment sta.
tion,l

Few of our field or garden crops
can be planted over so long a pc
Rod with such satisfactory results
as the sweet potato.
A number of experiments have
been conducted at the Georgia ex-
pertinent station to determine at
just what time of the year to set
sweet potato plants to produce the
largest yields. Seasonal conditions
varied the yields from year to year
But the paintings extending over
number of years showed that the
best yields were made by plants SCI
as late as the 5th of July.
Where a full crop of sweet pota-
toes has not been planted the crop
may follow small grain, as oats
tory results. Usually about this
time of year there is an accumula-
ton Of some stable manure on most
farms. This may be applied in the
drill at the rate of about zen two
horse wagon loads per acre and
supplemented with commercial fer
tilizers at the rate of about 500
proXimating an 8-2-2 will be good
for this purpose, however, almost
any remnant of a fertilizer mix
ture which may be on hand will
serve.
Further experiments at the Geor-
gia Experiment station show that
for very late paintings, cuttings
from vines will give few more
potatoes than will draws or slips.
This may be explained by the fact
that vine cuttings produce a clus
ter of potatoes from two or more
nodes of the part set while the
plant forms only one cluster, and
neither has time to become crowd
ed or reach full development. An
other advantage derived from the
use of vine cuttings is the produc-
ton of potatoes nearly free from
disease. The much dreaded BLACK
rot" of sweet potatoes lives large
Iy on the roots of the plants. Thus
when vine cuttings are used, and
planted on non-infected soil, that
is, soil which has not grown sweet
potatoes for several years, the dis
ease is largely eliminated.
