Sweet Potatoes

An old Negro laundress probably
was the first to discover that excel
lent laundry starch could be made
from the sweet potato. She mashed
the potatoes, soaked them in water,
then drew off this liquid and boiled
it to make fine starch.
The first commercial venture was
small cooperative plant set up in
Mississippi to make sweet potato
starch. Now another plant is being
started in Texas. Their product is
used for sizing in the textile indus
try Since many varieties of the
sweet potato contain as much as 20
ner cent starch, it seems likely
that this new industry has good pos
sibilities. The pulp left after the
starch is extracted is being used
for feed for beef and dairy cattle.
Sweet potatoes have been expert
mentally converted into thin trans
parent sheet which one Gay may be
a competitor Of cellophane. During
the World war, sweet potato flour
was used in the South.
George Washington Carver, famed
Negro scientist, has uncovered
many possibilities in this crop of the
South. He has used the sweet potato
to obtain vinegar, shoe backing, ink,
library paste, dyes, candy, ginger.
synthetic. tapioca, chocolate COM
pound coffee substitute, molasses
and rubber.
The commercial crop of sweet
potatoes is raised chiefly in Virginia,
Louisiana, Tennessee and New Jer-
sey. Since many southern varie-
ties tend to grow oversize, there is
a large quantity of culls in each
crop. Some are fed to cattle but
more are wasted. These conditions
have led to an insistent demand for
some means to use these in industry

Whether hybrid corn succeeds or
fails in its job of producing bumper
yields depends largely on the lands
fertility level and the effectiveness
of the individual farmers soil man.
agement program.
Tests on soils varying In productiv
ity and under different systems OF
soil management revealed that
some of the better hybrids are more
responsive to good soil and good soil
management and more sensitive to
poor soil and poor soil management,
than most of the open-pollinated vari-
cites of corn.
Whether hybrids take up more
plant food or use what they take up
more efficiently than open-pollinated
varieties has not yet been deter
mined. The danger to future soil
productivity lies in hybrid's capacity
to produce more bushels per acre
when grown on naturally fertile
soils.
II farmers take advantage OF the
superiority of hybrid corn on good
soil without recognizing the dangers
involved from a more rapid deple-
ton OF available plant food, their soil
will not be in condition to express
hybrid superiority for long.
On the other hand, If hybrid su-
periority on good soil is used to stimu-
late more and better soil enrich
ment practices, then there is an OPP
portunity to 60 beyond what has
already been accomplished.
The farmer who follows good soil
practices and has his soil tested to
determine needs for limestone, phos-
pilates and potash will cash in prof
itably when he plants hybrid seed
