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. The Orangeburg sweet) or heel
