Monday, Apru i-, Growing Sweei Potatoes i Suggestions for Profitablej Production of "Sugar" | Spuds." I Clemson College, April 19.?There j are few crops so well adapted t: ; South Carolina conditions as tl.a | sweet potato. This crop cft'ers to t!.:> | growers every advantage for succe? ful growth and profit that is?cfferei : by other field or truck crops. Soil selection, preparation, fertilizing, careful fitting and planting, and 1 cultivating are the essentials of sue- j cess In the growing of sweet potatoes, I .says Geo. P. Hoffman, Extensdon Service horticulturist. "oil.?The sweet potato adapts it- | self to a grea* diversity of soil, but it ! delights in and thrives best on a well drained sandy or ciay loam soil with ! a clay subsoil. But regardless of the apparent ideal physical condition of ; the soil, this crop must be rotated | each year. Sweet potatoes may fol- I low corn, cotton, sm~.Il '-,-rain, and leguminous cover cx^ops. It may ! easily and effectively be worked into any well balanced three-year rota- j tlon, Preparation of Soil.?The soil may j be thoroughly and deeply prepared ; by turning twice tp a depth of six to eight inches followed by cross discing. Crooked and irregular roots result from shsllow preparation of the I soil. Therefore, deep and thorough i preparation is very essential in grow- j leg marketable potatoes. Fertilizers. ? Both barnyard and commercial fertilizers are recommended. but the former must be judi- J ciously used. Under the present l shortage of potash, that element of I plant food most needed in c-xcf^~. ! liberal applications of#harnyard man- I ure will be very effective both in sup- ! plementing this shortage. and ir. cor- ; r acting the physical condition of the j very heavy siayey soils. Ordinarily j brt't commercial and barnyard r.vn- j v. res are applied in the drill when the !?ll is be'rg fitted for sotting the plants, and Inter as a side dr?aser. For the arerajo clay soils that will produce a hale of cotton to the acre, j ion to ,r^i pounds of an $-3-3 fertilizer | is recommended. For t':e sandy soils producing a or!'1 of cotton p:r ' acre. 400 to 000 poinds cf an S j-I fer* I tili^r is recommended. . ?i o l-IIlinrj JU.: mu ^ Plsnts.?Preparatory to ret Mas t'.vplants, which should no from May 1st : *o July 15th. lay off rows 3 to ?. 1-2 feet apart and apply the barnyard manure .'S-10 tor..? per acre) cr con- ' mercial fertiliser made of two-third.-. 16 r>er cent acid arrt one-third cotton see^ meal applied in the drill, aid thoroughly mix v.'ith the soil. Plant jr<* beds of medium height, depend- , it:g upon drainage. shouIJ He tavuv. ,7?orrcrrwl llmrn th f? nlants UjJ ami or viue-cultings sefc 12 to 18 incii?s apart. To eor-?ct the racked condi- ! tion of tho soil brought about through j the transplanting orocess. the water I furrows should be harrowed or other- J wise cultivated immediately follow- ! 5ng the setting of the -plant3. For late plantincs. the one-ieaf. ? j to 10 inch vine cuttings are more de- j sirable than are the slips or "draws," J especially for the growing of seed i stock. Varieties.?Nancy Hall, Porto Rico. ! and Triumph are the leading and ! most popular varieties grown in this ! utate. Triumph Is one of fhe earliest i varieties, and should be planted , wtoen potatoes are grovrn for early j market. Cultivation.?Frequent shallow cul- i tiva^ion should be praoUced until the vinea have covered the ground, during which p^kod the greatest care must be used In turning the vines. At the first eultivation, whloh conslats ef a careful hoeing and tiding with a broad furros. a slije dretslng of one-third eoiton seed meal and > ?wo-thirds 16 per cent acid phosphate I should be applied. 400 to l#0 pounds per acre, and thoroughly mixed with ' the eoil. The Orangeburg sweep or J heel bow and shovel to very effec- i I tlve In curtdratlng this crop. A Good Example of Profits.

"The effect of the adoption of .. his plan," the nnpeal said, would be r> ?t>f tho leaa-uo in oneration under provisions contained in articles 1-1 v and 15 for the creation of a code of ^ nternational law and the erection of i supreme court of international j Uilice.

In this conversation the French atitude wiil be based first on rnainenance of the entente and second on srict evecution of the treatv of Vdr-! i aille. The French, although declaring hemselves not satisfied with some of he terms of the treaty, accepted it ?s finally signed and now consider a oi't of charter as regards relations i'ith Germany. Great Britain, it is bought here, considers it rather a ort of elastic basis of settlement of European affairs which is capable of livers modifications'. Conciliation of these viewpoints rill be the object of the ensuing conersations during which France, it 3 stated, probably will ask Great I Britain whether, it stands for explanation of the treaty.
