Home Grown Seed
Make Good Crops
Best Insurance for Profitable
Yield of Vans or Sweet
Potatoes

Growing sweet potato plants at
home is the hest insurance for good
crop. For early potatoes, the seed
roots may he hedded six weeks before
danger of frost is past.
"A good general rule is to bed po-
tatOes six weeks before plants are
wanted for setting" recommends E. B.
Morrow, extension horticulturist at the
North Carolina State college. use
disease-free, medium-sized roots for
the seed stock and about eight BUSH
els of such seed is required to set
an acre of land from the first pulling.
If II is not desired to have all the
slips at one, time. four bushels should
produce enough for planting an acre."
Best Seed Bed Type.
Mr.. Morrow says the kind of bed to
use will depend on the time the crop
is to be set and rhe acreage grown.
Some kind Of heated bed is needed for
an early crcp The type best suited
to the average farm is the manure.
heated hotbed. Fresh stable manure,
piled and replied until it is heating
uniformly, and then packed into pit
to depth of IL inches will give suffi-,
cient heat. Cover this with three or
four inches of sand or sandy loan
soil and bed the roots on this.
To prevent crowding of the slips,
the roots should he, placed nearly one,
inch apart. says Mr.. Morrow. Spindly
plants will be secured when the po-
tatoes are crowded too close together.
Liberal watering is necessary. A plank
frame and some kind Of covering is
also needed. About II square feet Of
space will be needed to bed a bushel
of average size potatoes.
Disease Free Seed.
1t is important that the seed be
free from disease and this may be
guaranteed by treating the roots in
solution made of one ounce Of BIZ
chloride of mercury to eight gallons
of water. Soak the potatoes in this for
Is minutes and allow to dry before
covering in the bed. 1t is not neces-
sary to wash the potatoes after such
treatment.

Little Orchard Work

An orchard plot giving the names OF
the species and varieties and desig-
mating their location is needed as a
permanent record Of the orchard
paintings. Heeled-in trees must be
properly guarded against injury by
field mice, rabbits and live stock. It
may be even necessary to place
around them an Enclosure that will
prevent the entrance of rabbits as
well as live stock. The small. fibrous
roots of transplanted fruit trees usu-
ally die, unless they can be dug and
reset Immediately with as much soil
as possible.

An abundance of homegrown leg

economical dairy ration.
1t is advisable to have alfalfa or
sweet clover in the crop rotation
where potatoes are planted.
Sanitation as a means of disease
prevention, is just as important on
the farm as in the hospital.
Alsike clover and timothy are best
on a ground that is sour or wet. Soy
beans will also do fairly we'll on acid

Flax for planting should be plump,

Any land that will grow sweet clover
