Porto Rican yams migfht be enjoyed by the people of the United otates 11 some attention were paiu to shipping. Th# yam is a common garden crop in 'Porto Rico and is one of the most important and lowest-priced food products of the island, says Bulletin 27 of the Porto Rico Agricultural Experiment Station. This bulletin, which is entitled "Yam Culture in Porto Rico," discusses the commonly practiced methods of growing yams and summarize some of the experimental work undertaken by the station to improve these methods. The yam referred to in this bulletin is the true yam land not the so-called yam of the Southern States, which is a sweet potato. Few Enemies ar.d Diseases.

Practically the entire production is for home use, but according to the bulletin, if the crop were properly handled it might he shipped to other markets with little fear of -oss or' deterioration. The better varieties of yams have a high food value, due mainly to their very large starch content.

The intro- ( duction of new and improved varieties and methods 'of culture results in a product superior to the I yams commonly thrown, and which it c. is believed will find a more ready 1 market. Porto Rican planters have, } however, been so certain of a fair yield, as a rule, that not much ef- ^ iort nas neretoiore oeen made to improve varieties or methods of culture. i As regards methods of culture, the bulletin points out that a well drained soil of good mechanical condition is a prime requisite. For this reason it is recommended that ridges of well drained soil and vegetable matter should be made sufficient^ j large at the time of planting to en- 1 able roots to make /a. normal growth ? above the water level of the soil and ' above the firm sub-soil. Plants ' should be placed from 1 to 2 feet apart in these ridges, according to conditions peculiar to the root growth ' of each variety. Avoid Bruising the Roots. Either entire roots or parts of roots may be planted, although 5 the crown or upper section J has been found to give the most sat ' faction at the experiment station. ! Dipping in Bordeaux mixture is an effective means of preventing ideca.s 1 of roots cut in pieces for seed. In the station experiments application < of fertilizers did not result in sufficient increase in the crop to warrant their recommendation. Tests in prun ing the vines resulted in each cas?? in a marked decrease in production. Yields were low also where supports had not been provided for the vines. In harvesting yams care should be taken to avoid bruising the roots because injured roots lare usually attacked by disease and then decay. Guinea is the most desirable variety on account of its heavy yield, its high food value, and its pleasant flavor. The variety called Mapue morada sells at a higher price than other yams, but its yield is usually low. Among the lately introduced varieties recommended for .general planting the 'one known as Potato, which was introduced from Africa, and a variety of the species Dioscorea alata, from New Guinea, produce heavy crops ,of roots having a high food value and palatable flavor. 1 O No Worms in a Healthy Child v All children troubled with Worms hove an unhealthy color, which indicates j>oor blood, and as a ! rulp lhrrr> i?i ninrn nr I osn Rtnmnrli disturbance. !

What we are going to do must be lone right now?right away. The batle will be lost or won in the next i.\ or eight weeks. After that time ou may as well go fishing, with the nilance of what you would have >therwise made to the weevils, and >ray for hot, dry weather. There is 10 such thing as a top crop of cotton vhen weevils are present. One thing, ibove all others is necessary for suc:et-s, and that is confidence?a determination to win no matter how great he odds. Many victories have re;ulted from confidence and dterminaioit?the great war for instance. If ,*ou get panicky and plow up your otton because it has boil weevils on it iow, you certainly will not go to gin his fall. No man can predict now vhat weevil damage will he this rear, whether twenty-five, fifty, 01 i IPVIMI t v-fi vr> nr mnvo noi> Three Things to Do. There are three important things! ,'ou can do withiut much, if any, ex-j jense, and as I said in the beginning1 ;ou can easily double your crop bv ioing them, and one that you can do' vith considerable expense without ertainty or profit. First: Pick and destroy as many possible of the weevils off the young :otton. Keep after them every morn ng until squares appear where the | veevils become too difficult to find, rhey are easily found now while ;ucking the buds. Have the women md children do this work. Pay so nuch a weevil. Adjust the price ac:ording to the number of weevils you lave. It may be five cents or a half ;ent may be correct. Do not hire four "weeviling" done by the day. Second: When squares begin to fal\ >n the ground go over your cotton ow by row at least every week for ;ix or eight weeks, picking up and turning all the punctured squares pos ;ible, and also get what weevils can 3e found without losing too much :ime. Third: Cultivate oftener than usual D1 ?U?11 > ' * ' riiMv Aiiaiiuw aim over your cotton through and through at least once a week. Also plow later than has been your custom in the past. Fourth: Experiment with calcium arsenate poisoning if you feel willing to take chances of losing or maybe breaking even or making a small profit on the possible increase in yield. Results from dusting with calcium arsenate have not given uniform results. Its general use cannot be recommended at this time?no other poison is at all effective on weevils. It is no more reasonable to plow upl your cotton than it would be to dyna mite your house tf a spark should 1 start a small blaze on the roof. The sensible thing to do if you want to save the house is to pour a few buckets of water on the fire and you might not even need the fire department's help. Picking early weevils and the first two generations of punctured squares is absolutely effective in making cotton under weevil conditions. I have made twice as much por acve on my own place in Alabama by this method as neighbors who did nothing across the road. Pays to Pick Weevils. t :e ...... T Ul (V II ail^Y \t I %>WUI > weevils will come to your field until later in the year. Meanwhile you can have a half or two-thirds of a crop made. It pays to pick "weevils if you do not find but two per acre, likewise with squares if you get only a handful per acre. In some progressive communities I have known the towns and cities to raise funds with which to pay for early weevils brought in This method of weevil control should appeal to your common sense. Let me illustrate: If your wife has twenty-five hens, for instance, and disposes of twenty of them, can she possibly raise as many chickens as she would have with all twenty-five? And if she gathers the eggs of the others as laid, can the hens possibly hatch as manv chicks as they could have dom- had all the eggs been left in the nest? Certainly not. In other words, raising cotton under weevil conditions, can be, done profitably and the most foolish thinir you c?>n do is to quit p'antjing cotton. You will never regret anything as much in your life. The sickest fellow I ever saw is a Southern farmer with no cotton to pick rnd sell in the fall, especially if his neighbors happen to make a pretty good crop. Can't Estimate the Damage. You cannot anticipate weevil damage. Some years it will be worse than others and worse in some fields than others. The weevil is like the Irishman's flea?you can't put your finger on him. About the time you think you have a good crop made, he can eat it up, if the weather turns off wet and you have not been "weeviling" and "squaring." They are still raising cotton all over the South in spite of the weevils but in few, if any, instances on the same old basis.

Quin- ^ Years in Weevil TerUabama. 1 under favorable conditions may be had trom the case of Alabama in 191G. The previous year the State made, if my memory is correct, 1,500,000 bales of cotton and in 191(5 with extreme rainfall and consequent weevil damage, only 500,000 bales?a two-thirds 'oss with not all the Stale infested with weevils! Some of the worse affected counties like Montgomery, Dallas, Lowndes, (hopped from 40,000 and 50,000 bales to from 4,000 to 8,000. Imagine if you can what conditions < here would be with a 5,000 or even 10.000 bale cotton crop! What Happened in Alabama. 1 have seen with my own eyes fields of cotton that would hide a man on horseback that didn't make planting seed. Many one-mule share croppers with twenty acres planted could not go to gin without clubbing in with one or more others. Towns with four and five ginneries had only one in operation, and that on certain days during the busiest season. And the following year whole plantations did not have a negro on them or a furrow turned, and, saddest of all, many of 1 these lands are now in the hands of, outsiders, who seized the opportunity to buy them cheaply. For whole seasons not a ear of mules was shipped into Mongomery, but train loads went out, while in pre-weevil days Abraham Bros, there did one of the biggest mule businesses in the South?wholesale and retail. I (Gentlemen, do not allow all yourl i-i i . I lilUUl hi ill ii i. ?iwti\ v i f i v i vm nwt vu.->pose of your work stock should you have a bad weevil year.

( I would also urge and plead with ( you to begin now your plans for a re- ' duced acreage of cotton to from six to eight acres per plow (you cannot handle more successfully.) Plan for a variety of crops next year, but do not plunge into any new crop too Vionvilv Thp pvnpnpncf will be too expensive. It is much better to prow into these new things. Plan first of all to raise as much as possible of those things we have been raising cotton to buy with. All of this means the greatest change that has come in your system of farming since the emancipation of the negro. It is nothing less than an agricultural somersault, but unless the weevil fails to run to form you have got to take it ?and the sooner it is done the easier and less expensive it will be. Looking to (he Future. We must begin to fence our farms, P'iy attention to pastures and forage crops so as to make live stock profitable. We must see men who have always fought grass six months of the year and bought it the other six, J nursing it as they used to do their J cotton. And they will also be practicing the fundamental principle of good j farming, which is regular crop rotation and the growing of soil improving, nitrogen gathering crops, such as I velvet beans, soy beans, vetch, etc. j You will all raise some Cotton, but not I as of old. It will be from one-half | to two-thirds your former yield per acre or a reduced acreage. j Other counties not as good as Lee , have triumphed over what now seems impending disaster, ancl what they have done you can do, because nowhere is there a higher class of citizenship, more productive soils or a climate and location capable of greater diversification and production.
