There are three important factors
in bedding sweet potatoes; namely,
selection of seed, treating: seed for
disease spores,..and care in preparation
of plant bed. Proper consideration
of tl*ese> will do much towards
controlling diseases and successful
storage.
. time for PEDDINtl
In open ground: After the danger
of frost (middle of March to first
of April), usually four to six week:
before transplanting time.
In hotbed: Usually four to six
weeks before danger of frost is over
(15th to 20th of February.)
\ ar lottos
For storage: Porto Itico or Nancy
llall (A port* strain of tho one locallj
most popular.)
For green or early nut k?.-t.
Triumph.
Selection of Seed
w 1 . Use healthy uniform seed front
full selection from tin- l>est yielding
hills of disease-free potatoes and o(
the desired type.
2. Split stems and examine lot
stem rot. If the stems are* blackened
inside, do not use for seed.
3. Throw out all potatoes with
nearly round, suit ken, black spots or.
tho surface, or rotten ends.
4. Hefori! bedding, go over seed
potatoes again, stud remove all showing
diseased spots, rotted ends, or
bad wounds.
Treatment of Seed.
1. Immerse for to S minutes in
a solution of formaldehyde (comniercial
-to per eent.) made by diluting
one quart formaldehyde in !>0 gallons
wate.r. Tit's solution may be
used repeatedly without losing
strength. l!ad no in toes si?-?n nftr?r
treatli'ent .
2. Corrosive sublimate', which
may used instead of formaldehyde,
is very poisonous antl must he
handled in wooden vessels. Dissolve
one ounce eorrosive sublimate in
warm water, add eight gallons of
water, and immerse potatoes for 10
minutes. . .... yi p ^ , ,
3. For a large quantity of potatoes
make up 50 gallons of the solution.
After treating l*t>'\ bushels
add one ounce corrosive sublimate
and enough water to bring up to 50
gallons again to .'Veep up strength..
I Bed potatoes at once.
1 * PrcpanUIon - and Handling or Plant
Bed
Potato plants are usually grown in
open ground in this state, but for early
plants the hotbed is recommended.
Note following points in -preparation
and care of bed.
1 . Borate the bed in a southeastern
exposure, with protection from
wind preferred; easy reach of water;
good drainage; and prefefably new
land.
2. Break land deep, scoop out 3
or 4 inches of soil rather than dig a
deep Jkl. Make bed rectangular.
nnt iiune ulv
commodate the seed bedded. Burning
bed site, as in making'tobacco -beds,
helps destroy weeds and sterilize
soil.
3. Mix approximately half and
half cottonseed and horse stable
manure for heat (!"> bushels of cotton
seed to a plot C x 14 4'), and put
<lown a layer of 4 to f> inches. Bevel,
pack, and if dry sprinkle. t'oVer the
mixture with 2 to 3 inches of sand.
Allow this to remain 24 t.> 3f> hours
oe.'ore bedding to prevent potatoes
overheating.
4. Immediately after heating, bed'
ooiatoes so as to be nearly touching,
t'over with one inch til* sand, then one
inch layer of unpaeked piije straw,
an<l cover straw with 4 inches of
sand. The straw prevents pulling potatoes
out of ground when plants are
pulled.
6. lied three to four bushels for
enough plants for eaeli acre, or 10,000
to 14,000 plants.
6. 17se light canvas, heavy muslin,
or glass to protect plants from
frost.

The practice usually is to bed one
bushel oC seed potatoes lor -each
thousand plants desired at first drawing.
One bushel will usually produce
3000 to 4 000 plants nt three drawings.
With good seed potatoes and a well
managed bed. the average number of
plants will run some higher.
Plants or draws may be grown for
an eighth to a sixth of the area
planted, vine cuttings being used foi |
the remainder. The single leaf cut-1
ting. 8 to 10 inches long, is reeommonded.
The surest and most reliable source
of disease-free stock is the saving of
seed stock from the part of the field
that was grown from vine cuttings.

buy old stock when you can get the
fresh one. The Xted Arrow Filling
