SWEET POTATOES SHOULD BE GROWN Will Help Provide For a Hun ? gry World During Crming Winter. Columbia ?The nwcei p?? ?v i 1 1 kelp iu * large w?y to ?olv? ihe pro* lam of providing food -and. like the liiaU potato, a food thai will largely tnko the place of bread. In ordur that ih? bwat results may bo obtaiiiHd. the following Informa tion on "Crowing Sweet Pot a toe* to South Carolina" has been prepared by Qforgo P. Hoffman, extension hortl culturlet of Cleniuon College, at the request of the Pood Administration foi South Carolina: Growing Sweat Potatoaa In South Carolina. Thero are few crops so well adapted to South Carolina condition* thai cau ba grown with equal success and profit aa can the sweet potato. Thin crop offers to the grower* every advantage thaj la offered by other field or truck crops. Soil aelection. preparation, fertilis ing. careful fitting and planting, and cultivating are the oosont ials of suc cess In the growing of a crop of sweet potatoes/ Soil: ? The sweet potato adapts It self to a great diversity of soil, hut II delights in and thriven best on a well drained sandy or clay loam (toll un derlaid with a clay suh?oll. Regard leas of the apparent Ideal physical condition of the soil, this crop must be rotated each year. Sweet potatoes may follow corn; cotton, small grain and leguminous cover crops. This crop may be easily and effectively worked into any well balanced thx.ee year rotative system. Preparation Of Soil: ? The soil may be thoroughly and deeply prepared by turning twice to a depth of 6 to 8 inches followed by cross discing. Crooked and Irregular formed roots result from preparatory shallow prep aration of the soil. Therefore, deep and thorough preparation is very es sential in the growing of marketable potatoes Fertilizers: ? Both barnyard *nd commercial fertilizers are recommend ed, but the former must be Judiciously used. Under the present potash short age conditions, that element of plant food most needed in excess, liberal ap plications of barnyard manure will be found to ba very effective in supple menting this shortage, and correcting the physical condition of the soil. The fertility and physical condition of the soil should determine the extent of the applications, which should not be In excess of the needs. Ordinarily, both commercial fertilizers and barn yard manures are applied in the drill, when the soil is being fitted for set ting the plants, and as a side dresser. Fitting the iioll and SsttlnQ the Plants: ? Preparatory to setting the plants, which should be from May let to July ibtn, lay off rows-3-Mr to 4 feat apart and apply the barnyard or com mercial fertilizers in the drill and thoroughly mix with the soil. Plant ing beds of medium height, depending upon drainage,' s*hould he thrown up and dragged down, and the plants or vine-cuttings set 14 to lit l-nches apart. ! Correcting the packed condition of the soil brought about through the transplanting process. immediately following the setting of the plants, the water furrows should be harrowed or otherwise shallow cultivated. For late plantings, the one leaf. 8 to 10 Inch vine cuttings are more desira ble than are the plants, this being es pecially tru<? in the growing of sead stock. j Varieties: ? The Saner Hall. Porto j ' Rico, and Triumph are the leading and moat popular varieties Rrown in ' this State The Triumph is one of the ' earliest varieties, and should be plant- i i ed when potatoes are grown fer early j i market. J Cultivation: ? Frequent and shallow i ! rultivatlon should be practiced until j the vines have covered the gTound. j ) during which period the greatest of ~r*re hhhM be_aie reined hi the turning ! ! of the vines. At jJbe flrat cultivatloa. 1 ' which consists of a careful hoeing aud aiding with a broad furrow, a aide ' dressing of cottonseed meal should be applied, at the rate of oae-half toa per ' i acre, and thoroughly mixed with the j I toll.
