HOW TO MAKE SWEET POTA-

same ground oftener than once in
every three or four years. Grow
something else in between when the
land is not planted in sweet pota-
toes, say one crop like cowpeas, soy
beans Or velvet beans, which will
build up the soil as at least one
Of the successive crops.
'Third-As soon as the potatoes
are dug, clean up the patch. Let
hogs in to root out and eat up all
the small roots and culls not harvest
ed. Then burn up all the trash and
vines on the ground, so that there
, Will De no hiding places for weevils
left.
1t is most important to get en-
tirely rid of the weevil if we are to
make the sweet potato paying crop.
The WeeVll not only Injuries the APP
pearance OF the potato, but also af-
fects its keeping qualities and de-
stroys it for eating purposes. A
Weevilly potato is an unmark etable
potato. Unless we free our fields
from Weeyils it is practically i'm
possible to obtain a profitable mark
ct for them. One other provision is
also necessary to insure a good price
for good potatoes, potato storage
house.
The advantage of the curing stor-
age house is well shown by the diff
ference in prices for potatoes now
and last fall. At this season Of the
year they are selling for two or three !
times as much as in the fall when
they are harvested The cost for
storage is small. 1t has been esti-

! mated that ten cents a bushel will
build the house and keep the pota-
| toes the first year, aud after that the
cost of keeping will be two to three
cents oushel per year. The stor-
age mouse will make when properly
handled 80 per cent or more OF the
crop marketable at good prices.
The house should be built tight
with dead air space in the wall so
that the temperature can be kept
even. The Beesom house which is
good type is built 10 feet high, -
1eet wide, and as long as wanted
IN the center of the room the stove
IS placed, and for 10 days or two
weeks the doors ana windows are
tightly closed and the room heated
to temperature of 100 degrees.
When the potatoes are dry, the doors
and windows are opened and the
potatoes are kept as cool as poss;b {
without freezing.
The farmer can also protect h Il,
self against bad market; or bad IN,
with his crop, in its Keeping yua
ties, by having a sufficient nuc.t
OF livestock, especially hogs, to ca
up his potatoes. The sweet potat
is a splendid fattenez for hogs an.
makes good pork.
All in all probably less chance Z:
taken with the crop Of sweet potatoe
than with anything else our farmer
can raise. If we will take precau,
tlons 81 getting Weevii free seed beds
rotation of the crop, and cleaning nc
at harvest time, the sweet potato
can then be made profitable cash
crop by storing and drying in il
sweet potato house so that the pota-
toes can be held until they bring a
satisfactory price. Thusly managed
the sweet potatoes are more profit
able than corn or cotton on Missi:;-
sippi Delta lands.

Then came the medical men and
declared it menace to health. In
