More Plants, More Potash for Potatoes Florence, Feb. 4.?Closer spacing and higher percentage of potash in the fertilizer are indicated for greater success with sweet potatoes, according to tests being conducted here at the Pee Dee Experiment Station in cooperation with the United States Pureau of Plant Industry, says K. E. Hall, superintendent of the station. "Results from spacing plants six. 1 nine, twclvy, fifteen and eighteen inches in four foot rows have been obtained over a period of years," Mr. j Hal! continues, "and these show that i best yields have been obtained with the closer spacings, which have also' given a larger percentage of number 1 one potatoes. Wide spacing has a tendency to increase the size, resulting in a large percentage of Jumbo, or oversize potatoes. "Fertilizer at rate of 500 pounds per acre and vailing in potash from three to fifteen per cent has been applied with a view of determining the effect of potash on yield and size. Results to date show that there is an increase in yield from increasing the proportion of potash up to nine per cent, but after that point is passed the yield falls off. Kxtreme-1 !y high proportions of potash have had a tendency to increase the proportion of Jumbo, or oversize pota- j toes." The Reconstruction Finance corporation granted an emergency loan to Now York thi> week of $ "?, 1 OU.000. J | Get Rid o/ That H ^ Any little soreness in the throat grows rapidly worse if neglected.
