The Time to Set Sweet Potatoes for' Beet Yield. Few of our field or garden crops can be planted over so long a period with such satisfactory results as the sweet potato. A number of experiments have been conducted at the Georgia Experiment Station to determine at just what tune of the year to set sweet potato plpnts to produce the largest yields. .' Isonal conditions varied the yields r*(/m year to year. But the plantings extending over a number of years showed that the best yields were made by plants set from about the middle of May until the 11th of JuneIt was observed further, however, that profitable crops could be made from plants set as late as the 5th of July. Where a full crop of sweet potatoes has not been planted the crop may follow small grain, as oats. whait and rvo with vprv satlnfnptnrv results. Usually about this time of the y?*r there is an accumulation of some stable manure on most farms. This may be applied in the drill at the rate of about ten two-horse wagon loads per acre and supplemented with commercial fertilizers at the rate of about 300 pounds per acre. A fertilizer approximately an 8-2-2 will be good for. this purpose, however, almost any| remnant of a fertilizer mixture which may be on hand will serve. Further experiments at the Georgia Experiment Station show that for very late plantings, cuttings from vines will give a few more potatoes than will draws or slips. This may be explained by the fact that vine cuttings produce a cluster of potatoes ' from two or more nodes of the part, set while the plant forms one cluster, and neither has time to become: ciowded or reach full development. . Another advantage derived from the dbe of vine cuttings is the production j of potatoes nearly free from disease.! The much dreaded "black rot" of . sweet potatoes lives largely on thei roots of the plants. Thus when vine J cuttings are used, and planted on non-infected soil, that is, soil which has not grown sweet potatoes for sev- | eral years, the disease is largely eliminated. H. P. Stucky, Director. With a potato curing house guaranteed to be in operatln by October 1st we wish our farmers to grow enough Porto Rico potatoes to fill the house. If oat land ig immediately fixed for planting a profitable crop can yet be made. Should the potatoes not get large enough for shipping they will make excellent seed for the next crop. If the small potatoes are properly cured they may sell for seed purposes as well as the larger ones. In about ten days, after it rains vine cuttings can be had in sufficient quantity to plant any reasonable acreage. Our potato curing plant will take care of about twenty thousand five| peck crates. If you wish to encourage a new industry plant sweet Dotatoes.! but be sure you plant Porto Ricos. As | a food crop and beginning with a late season there is no danger of over production. If we fail to sell to our' northern neighbors we can consume ' llfp iJLiS "jl I've tri bu1 I'm through expi No more trying this every time. They're so refresl Why?'

One sign that a man has had insufficient sleep is finding himself drowsy at odd hours during the day. There are many simple precautions that a man so affected can practice. He will often find it a waste of time to lie in bed obstinately trying to get to sleep. The wise course for him is to rise, put on warm slippers and a dressing gown and read until his brain grows quiet. He may find tbat eating a light luncheon will help; one physician used to advise his patients either to heat a cup of milk and sip it slowly or to eat an apple slowly, skin and all. Anyone who is subject to insomnia should make sure that when in bed his head shall be * ool and hiB feet warm; he should use a hot-water bottle or a light pillow at the foot of the bed if he cannot keep his feet warm otherwise. He should always make his evening meal nutritious but light, and if it proves to have: been too light supplement it with a 111 11-Vi ' ' - ivmc uivio i'biii iuuq ai iae ena or the evening. Much sleeplessness is only a form of indigestion. When a person falls asleep quickly, but wakes in an hour or so unmistakably suffering from undigested food, he should rise and slowly drink a cup of hot water in which a quarter of a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda has been dissolved. Most poor sleepers are of nervous temperament and should practice self control. They should not take the frets and annoyances of the day to' bed with them. To go to bed angry! is the worst of all. o ? , NOTICE.
