SWEET POTATOES FROM VINES

Clemson College.-In order that
one may have a sufficient quantity
of potato vines for setting his field
during June or early July, it is very
necessary that the first planting be
made as early as the season will per-
NIT. The following recommendations
are given by the horticulturists for
the production of vines for planting
the main crop and do not apply to
the production Of large yields Of po-
tatoes.
PLANT on fertile soil and apply in
the drill before planting, at the rate
aof 1000 pounds per acre, a fer
tilizer that will analyze 8 per cent
phosphoric acid and 4 per cent nj
trogen. After the plants have begun
to run apply a top dressing Of nj
trate Of soda in order to force a
rapid vine growth.
Disease-free potatoes can best be
obtained by using the vine cuttings
rather than the slips taken directly
from the seed bed. One acre plant
ed in April will supply enough vines
for chanting S acres in June, provid-
ed the first acre is planted on rich
land and the vines forced to grow
rapidly.

COMPANION CROP
MAKES CORN PAY
South Can Beat Great Corn Belt So
States Harper, Director Of Soil
Improvement,

j.. y. Harper director of the soil
Improvement committee has given the
following interview to urge the
South Carolina farmer to consider
we'll the advantages of growing leg
luminous companion crops with corn:
"The South Carolina farmer can
not safely grow as many acres of cot
ton to the plow as he did before the
boil weevil came. What is he going to
do with the acres taken from cotton?
PROFESSIONALLY one of the crops he
IS going to give a prominent place is
corn. He knows how to raise corn
aud he needs it as food for his fam
lily and feed for his animals.
1.-The complaint that most cotton
farmers make against corn is that
there is no money in it. That is too
often the case.
"But since it is evident that the
sorn acreage is going to be increased
is this not the time to consider in
what way to make the most Of the
corn field?
mo corn field in the South is COM
plete or in a position to make the
greatest returns unless there is plant
ed with the corr some legumes like
velvet beans, COW peas, soy beans or
peanuts. No crop is lore accommo-
dating to companion crops than corn
and apparently the legumes find
o no overmastering competitor.
"The corn belt of the North and
West has no such opportunity as the
South for growing companion crops
Sith corn. With the aid of legumes
the South can grow corr so as to
compete with the West and make
money. In a sense the South can pit
two crops against the Vests one.
"If the Southern farmer does not
grow legumes in his corn, he may
make no profit at all. Certainly this
IS not a time when the cotton farm
er can afford to grow a profitable
crop
aside from bringing direct re-
<urns the legumes in the corn will af-
ford an inexpensive means of adding
nitrogen and humus to the soil. In
fact there is hardly a better or more
economic farm practice than that of
growing legumes in corn.
"Of curse two crops growing On
the land at the same time increased
the demand upon the soil for plant
Food, especially for the mineral e.e-
nents of plant food. The legume
will take care of most of it's nitrogen
requirements by drawing that ele-
ment from the air. A farmer who
wants to make the most of the corn
and legume crop should, therefore, in
Grease the applications of the miner
al elements, phosphoric acid and pot
ash, and a bit of increase in the nj
trosen might be well.
Why not make the corr pay, by
letting the legume help?"

The plotters hoped to restore the

The invitation of the Moscow

WALL STREET GOSSIP
Rediscount Rate Cut.

The failure of the local Federal
Reserve Bank to announce a reduc-
ton of the rediscount rate Wsdnes-
day naturally caused some disappoint-
ment. However, readers Of this
column were prepared for no action.
Those who know what Is going on
confidently expect that the reserve
bank will announce the reduction
next week. 1t Is generally believed
the rate will be cut " to / per cent,
to 4 per cent. This cut had been
looked for last month. However, as
there was some opposition to a further
reduction. the majority who favored
the cut believed 1t best to postpone
action until the year-end monetary
turnover was completed. This VIII b
satisfactorily taken care OF by the
time the directors meet next week.

however, are being kept quiet. The
improved earnings, etc, which are
talked of are now well known. There
are whispers Of a deal, which, II car.
ried out, would promise well for
shareholders. AS the company Is of
comparatively small capitalization,
there may be some basis for the re-

Bond Market Promisins.

Cheaper money and further cut
in the rediscount rate will naturally
influence bond prices. While 1t is
true that some buying was attracted
from the bond list during the recent
fireworks in the stock market, invest
ment securities still hold many bar
gains. The public has not entirely
recovered from the shaky feeling that
follows every economic REIMBURSEMENT
and are cautious. While the specu-
Iatiye leaders who recognize this are
doing their utmost to hold the stock
market up, until the public comes In,
the outside participation Is very evi-
dent in bonds. A flood OF money can
