I Essentials of Sweet Potato Production Clemson, May 4.?Liberal fertilizing with an 8-3-8 or 8-3-10 fertilizer nii close spacing" of the plants are wo essentials of successful sweet poat<> production, says, E. II. Rawl, ex- ^ ension horticulturist, calling atten- i ion of farmers to the results obtaind from the sweet potato production ontests conducted for several years iv the Extension Service. "The contest results s?howod that m the average it is best to use 800 0 1,000 pounds per acre of an 8-3-8 ir ><-3-10 mixture," Mr. Rawl exilains. "This should be put out well n advance of setting the plants or inc.- and thoroughly mixed with the toil before the beds are thrown up. Some growers prefer putting half the ertilizer ui:der the crop and the oth? 'half a- s\ side-dressing imntedat'.ly after plants are set. F?.r lrnme-mixing a potato fertiliz(r Mr. Raw. suggests the following \(\ maho ::.i' equivalent of one ton 1.000 p<>und- acid phosphate 16 per Lent; 2UU pounds cottonseed meal 13-7-2 per cent I; 100 pouitds sulphate |i ammonia (25 per cent); 100 pounds fciuate of soda (10.45 per cent); 400 Rounds muriate of potash (50 per lent); 200 pounds dolomitic lime1 Two cautions for good quality dislase-free potatoes Mr. Rawl gives: I The bulk of the commercial crop Ahould be grown from vine cuttings As the tubers from vine cuttings are Apparently more uniform in shape And size and are remarkably free of jhe common diseases.

E. Schilletter, extension horticulturist. Successive plantings, careful cultivation, and proper protection from insects leave the gardener no time to loaf. Mr. Schilletter advises successive plantings of Stowell's Evergreen, Country Gentleman, or Golden Bantam corn; Bountiful and Stringless Green pod bunch beans; Kentucky Wonder and McCaslan pole beans; Henderson's or Wood's and Jackson bunch limas; Carolina pole limas; Clark's Special, Early Fortune, and Boston Pickling cucumbers. He suggests also planting now of collard, cabbage, tomato, and celery seed for fall crops. Regarding cultivation his advice includes these items: Do not cultivate beans while the : foliage is wet. Don't cut young as- I parag-us too closely. Fertilize and manure the bed after you stop cuting. When the strawberry crop is off remove the mulch and cultivate. The first runners will give the best and strongest plants. Allow these to take root if you need more plants. In cultivating, take care not to break the roots of shallow rooted vegetables. Cultivation is necessary for keeping weeds in check and to loosen the surface soil when it becomes compact. Important insects which must be fought now, says Mr. Schilletter, ar : the Mexican bean beetle which should be fought with magnesium arsenate; the flea beetle, with Bordeaux mixture and arsenate; the Harlequin cabbage bug, with handpicking and with soap sprays. Dispatches from Istanbul, Turkey, ^ say that Mount Ararat, 17,000 foot ; Armenian peak, where tradition say Noah's ark grounded, is rumbling with volcanic activity. Later reports say that the toll of dead from recent earthquakes in that area now total > over 2,000, with more than 1,600 houses destroyed. < Grazing Crops For Dairy Farmer Glemson, M?y 4.--No sin^U- procedure on the dairy farm oifer* greattr possibilities of cutting feed costs and increasing milk Mow than supple men ting permanent pastures with temporary or annual grazing crops , '* .^oth w,ntvr and summer, says C. G. Gush man, extension dairy specialist. He ndvi.scs farmers to plan for one-half acre for each mature cow for rotation in such crops. For summer grazing Mr. (\jshmun suggests 30 pounds of pearl millet per acre sowed in drill (15 pounds per acre sowed both ways). He says: "Millet is considered the best for this grazing purpose both by experience and by actual test. It will funiji?h grazing until frost and there is I no danger of prussic acid i>oisoiiing ,?? is the case with Sudan grass or the sorghums. "Some dairy farmers use the Bilexi soybean, planting in 21-inch rows, cultivating twice and broadcasting pearl millet just before the second cultivation. Results at the Sandhill Stution indicate, however, that we may not evja-ct substantially higher yields of milk from such a system than from pearl millet alone; that it is more expensive in preparation, seeding and cultivation; and that it will yield no more grazing per acre. "This system is more successful if divided into two or three lots when intermittent grazing can be practiced, permitting the growth to recuperate from heavy grazing."
