There 11 iv few crops so well adapt
ed to South Carolina conditions an the
sweet potato. This crop offers to the
growers eyery ud vantage for micccks
ful KlWtU that }s offered by other
livid or trwck i'NUw. Soil selection,
iiuimrutlou. fertilising, eiyvfiil fitting
mid planting, aud cultivating are tile
essontlals of success In the growing of
>\vect pota Ux*s, says Geo, P. HotYinuiui,
Rxteuslon Service JUur.tlciilHirlat. .
The sweet potato adapts Itself to a
-real diversity of soil, tout It delights
in and thrives best oil a >veil dralued
sandy or day loam soU with a clay
subsoil. Hut ix'gardless of the ap
1 mi rent Ideal physical condition of tlio
sell, this erob must he rotated each
year;- Hwwt potatoes may follow corn,
fdttoll. small Kftln, uml leguminous
rover crisis. They may easily anal ef
fectively lie worked Into any well l>al<
nnccd three-year rotation.
The soil may he thoroughly ami
iU'i ply prepared* -by til riling twice to
a depth of 0 to?8 Inches followed toy
cross discing. CiNKiked and irregular
roots result froin shallow preparation
of the soil. Therefore, deep artd thor
ough <preparation Ik very essential 1'n
growing marketable (sdatoos.
Hotli harny ird and commercial fer
tiliser^ are recommended, hut the foiv
mer must l?e judiciously used tender
the present shortage of potash, that
element of plant food most needed In
e*cess7'Ti1?era 1, applications of barn
yard manure will l?e very effective
hoth In supplementing this shortage,
and in correcting the physical condi
tion of the very heavy ejayey soils..
The fertility and qAiysical condition of
the soli should determine the extent
of the applications, which should not
he in.excess of the needs. Ordinarily
lK'ili commercial and baunyard ma
nure* are applied In the drill when
the soil Ife being fitted for setting the
plaids', ami later as yi side dresser.
For I lie average clay soils that will
produce a tulle of cotton to the acre,
?400 to 000 pounds of an 8-8.-3 fertilizer
i< recommended. For the sandy soils
producing a bale of cot toir per acre,
' 000 ]rounds of au K-3-U fertiliser
Is rxH-ommonded.
Preparatoryfo setting tiie plants,
which should l>e from May 1st to daily
15th, lay off rows 3 to 3 1-2 feet part
and apply the JMmiyard manure (8-10j
tons |Kir acre) or commerical fertillVj
zor made of two-thirds 10 i>er cent
aeld and one-third <?otton seed uieai
aifilled In Hie drill, and thoroughly
mix with the rfoil. Planting beds of)
medium height, deluding upon drain
age. should lie thrown up and dragged
down, and the i>lants or vine-cuttings
set 12 to IS Inches apart. To correct
the packed condition :/>f the soil
torouglit about through the transplant
ing ipVoeess. the water fuyrows should
be harrowed or Otherwise cultivated
Immediately following the "setting of|
the plants.
Vtrf late planting#, the one-leaf, 8
to 10-inch vine "cuttings are more de
sirable than are the slips or '"draws,"
especially, for the growing of seed
stock.
Nancy Hall. Porto Hieo and Triumph,
a re the leading and most popular va
rieties grown 111 tills iState. Triumph
Is one of the, earliest varieties, and
should he planted when itptatoes are
grown for early market.
Frequent shallow cultivation should
be practiced until the vines have cov
ered the ground, during which period
the greatest care must - be used in
.turning the vines. At the first cultiva
tion, which consists of u careful hoe
ing ami siding with a liroad furrow, a
:*Tde dressing of one?thlrd cotton seed
meal and two-thirds 10 i?er <vnt acid
phosphate should 1>e applied. 400 to
1500 pounds per acre, and thoroughly
mixed .with the soil. The Orangeburg
sweep or heel Iwnv and shovel is very
effective in cultivating this crop.
