AGENTS LETTER

Allgrowers ofsweet Pouatoes are
hereby given notice that you will
have to have your sweet potato plant
inspected by the State plant Board Of
Mississippi ii you intend to sell any
plants or potatoes for seed purposes
this fall or next spring. These pants
and POTATOES, will be inspected free
OF charge by member of the State
Plant Board will be inspected for the
common diseases that Is now beeoin-
ing prevalent in different sections
of the state, Stem Rot and the Blac K
rot of the Potatoes.
If you are interested in keeping
down these diseases in your plants
you may do so, by applying to me
for an inspectors slip or card to fill
outat once for the plants will have
tosbe inspecssd in the field before
frost kills the vines. At this time Of
the year YOU stsould begin to think
about what kind Of green cover crops
and grazing crops you are going to
have this fallsand winter. I think one
OF the greatess mis- takes ws-southern
farmers make is. we do not keep
enough green vegetables growing on
our Poor bare soil through the win
ter months, when we have our great.
est amount of rain-faH This Is time
when our soils wash away into gull
lies and wash down into the briar
patch in the valleys that are notbeing
cultivated This you knew and real
ize is the best soil we have is.our top
soil,and we should make a more
strenuous effort to hold our best soil
and our fertilizer bill every spring
would not be unusually high. Some
of the best ways to keep our soils
from washing is to have the soil well
terraced and keep something green
growing on Ii through the winter
months Some good crops to grow
upon the soA through the winter are
turf oats, and clovers, such as Red
clover, Burr clover. Crimson clover,
ect. The clovers and yetches are fine
for the soil and all the above plants
are fair crops for grazing purposes
for pigs, calves and milk cows, and
all live stock. Pick out plot or
patch Of few acres on yourfarm and
plantit to some of the green winter
cover crops for grazing purposes
and see il it will not pay you with
your stock, and also benefit your soil
will be glad to assist you in any
way possible.
Yours for service.
