fl$ Practically a Sure Crop An? "
Especially Attractive Owing \
To Labor Shortage.
4L
t
Columbia, S. C.?There never has .
'been any doubt as to the raising of
mmeet potatoes in South Carolina. It
Is practically a sure crop and in view
of the labor situation it is one of the
*?ry best crops that can be planted.
Brery sweet potato that is grown in
this State is growing to help in the
lood fight to win the war. In addition,
potatoes in the present market conAttmns
are a wonderfully profitable |
At the request of the Chairman of
the food production campaign in this
State, Prof. George P. Hoffman has
jprepared a series of articles is consection
with the planting and gather4mg
of seed potatoes, and will be published
from time to time. The imme- diate
urgency is in securing seed stock !
for the satisfactory planting. The real
shortage of seed potatoes is perhaps
sot realized, and those interested in
the planting of seed potatoes should
at once arrange to get their seed.
Professor Hoffman has this to say:
''With an increase of nearly three
times the normal selling price combined
with a wahton loss of more than
T& per cent of 13buth Carolna's sweet
potato crop of the past season, it is
Obvious that the necessary seed for
, ptatlng this year's crop will be- far j
tainfficient. Therefore, it is imperative
that plant dealers and planters
make immediate provision for supPlying
their needs. Disease-free seed !
should be bedded as soon as possible.'
This shortage may be supplemented
by a large per cent through early
plantings of small areas from which j
later plantings may be made by use i
of vine cuttings.
The Nancy Hall and Porto Rico are 1
the leading and most popular varieties
to this State, but these varieties not
being available, no time should be
Aottt in obtaining disease-free seed or
plants of other varieties. Every ef-1
fort should be made for the planting '
pt a sufficient area to supply home !
consumption with a surplus for the
v local market.
The planters of South Carolina
hare t)een asked to increase by 60 per
cent the crop of last year, which was
7,600,000 bushels, produced on 80,000
jtcres. This necessary increase may
5 he easily obtained by the planting as
ft minimum of one-half acre per plow.
"From 8,000 to 10,000 plants will
| Jhe needed for planting one acre or
1,000 to 10,000 bushels of seed stock.
I&nall potatoes are equally as good
ft&d will furnish a greater number of
plants per given quantity than will
Ae larger roots, therefore, planters
ftre advised to use the smaller potatoes."
I TO THE SOLDIERS AT HOME. !
\ The two most important things I
you can do just now to help win
j the war:
* ' Plant a Home Garden.
Prepare to plant sweet potatoes.
iThe Value Of The Dollar.
J
The importance of raising^ foodstuffs
at home can not perhaps be |
better accentuated than by quoting
figures prepared by Mr. Arthur L. Lee
for the New York Times. The dollar
on the day the war broke out as com-11
pared with the dollar of today in purchasing
capacity Shows just a little
sore than fifty-six per cent of its
.lvalue at that time. This means that
jfhe dollar the farmer derives from
feis crop buys for him just fifty-six 1
cents worth of corn, bacon, flour or
food-stuffs as compared with the same
'doliar that he would have had in 1914. j
I Aside from the patriotic duty of
helping to raise food crops at home,
jfrom a purely selfish standpoint the
I man who can raise food-stuffs at home
ought to realize that his dollar has a
" purchasing capacity today of only!
j fifty-six cents as compared with the ^
'same dollar of 1914. Mr. Lee in his
l*rticle gives these graphic diagrams
j Indicating the reduced value of the
dollar. This applies ?s fully to everything
that is bought as it does to food fhe
diagrams of the dollar's real
purchasing capacity are presented by
the Food Conservator as he is convinced
they stress an important phase
of the campaign for more food. !|
