For growing a commercial crop ?>! quality sweet potatoes, vine cuttings are strongly recommended over plants, as the latter are more subj? el to disease. Seed Block should be bedded lu hotbed* tour to *1* weeks before the average date of the laat killing frost Thl* would give plants for tran*r I anting Into a vine-cutting patch, or "mother patch," a* soon a* all danger of cold weather 1* over. There are two auitable types of hotbeds. fire-heated beds and manure heated beds. The superior value of fire-heated beds has been thoroughly demonstrated throughout the state during the past five years. Plants should be available for setting to the "mother" or vfne-cuttlug petch four to six weeks from the dste of bedding for the lower sud middle sections. It I* very important thst these plants be set out as soon as possible in order to have available an ample supply of viue cutting* to. plant to the field for the commercial fcrop as soon after the first of June as tho weather will permit. These plants should bo set on a fulrly fertile and moist soil lu order to hasten tho development of vim ? As soon as the plants commence growlug. a light application of uliiaiu of soda may bo desired as a sid?dressing In addition to fertilizer ap plied before the plant:; are set. Kc-| member these fertilizer suggestions are for the production of vine cuttings for the commercial crop and not for the production of the commercial crop Itself. Important Points on Cultivation. Fertilizers carrying a high percentage of potash are essential In producing a high yield of U. S. No. 1 sweet potatoes which will meet the requirements of the now famous "Sugaryam" brand. A fertilizer carrying 8 per cent phosphorus acid, 3 per cent ammonia, and 8 to 10 per cent potash, applied at the rate of 800 to 1,000 pounds per acre, is recommended, on the busis of demonstrations last year In South Carolina. Several excellent home-mixed sweet potato fertilizer formulas are available in Extension Circular 152, Sweet Potato Production, by E. H. Kawl This publication is available from tho county agent's office. The question might be asked, when is the proper time for planting vines' Experience shows that the most satisfactory planting time on the average for South Carolina is soon after June 1. If plantings are made much later than July 1 and Ideal growing seasons do not prevail, the crop may not mature properly and the yields may be unsatisfactory. Another Important factor Is spacing. The rows should be three to four feet apart and the vinos 8 to 12 Inches apart In the row. It Is also Important that cultivation should he suffciently open to keep down weeds and grass. The laat cultivation should work the soli to the plants and leave them on a relatively high bed On low land or wet-natured lands, high beds are very Important. The last cultivation should be given before the vine growth Is excessive and becomes rooted In the soil. (This Is the second In a series of articles on sweet potato growing in South Carolina by A. E. Schllb tter, Extension Horticulturist). Record breaking use of cotton in the Pnited States last year lifted the country's total consumption of leading textile fibers to the largest figure for any year since the war, the Textile Economics Pureau of New York, reports Consumption of cotton, wool, rayon, silk and linen was figured at 4,374,900,000 pounds against 4,270,300,000, in 1936 and 2.946,900,000 in 1932. - EBBflBgt .i B ftiirHawi i Wksbingtou, Max. 8#cret*ry 01 Btate Hull has been driving steadily ahead lu his efforts to consummate reciprocal trade treaties with foreign countries. Hull was a member of the house for many years and afterwards a member of the senate before being appointed secretary of atate by president Roosevelt. He was considered the scholar of the house aud for many y^Sfi was a close student and severe critic of the harmful effects of the protective tariff. Immediately, upon becoming secretary of state, he began a series of negotiations with foreign governmonts with a view to Increasing our exports by the practical method of allowing foreign governments certain advantages in shipping their goods to the United States. His efforts have been severely criticized by some branches of American industry, but statistics show that bis ideas are bearing fruit. The value of American exports during 1937 to the sixteen countries, with which reciprocal trade agreements had been concluded showed for the second successive year a greater rute of increase than to the non-agreement countries, as a whole, according to an analysis by the department of commerce at Washington. In 1936, the first year that any largo number of reciprocal agreements were in operation, there was a gain of 11 per cent over 1936 in the vialue of American exports to the group of agreement countries, while the increase during the same period to all other countries averaged four per cent. This tendency for exports to Increase more rapidly to the countries, with which the United States has made trade agreements continued in 1937. During this past year, when for various reasons, foreign trade generally ran higher both in volume and price, American exportB to the group of agreement countries showed a further increase in value over 1936 of 41 per cent, while the increase to the non-agrement countries avc-^ged 34 per cent. The countries with which the sixteen reciprocal agreements are In operation, together with their colonies account for well over one-third of the total foreign trade of the United States. The foregoing facts clearly demonstrate that If the United States expects to sell its produce abroad it must not erect prohibitive tariff barriers against products from other countries. Hull's motto is the old Jeffersonian doctrine of "tariff for revenue only." It should be generally known that the new Farm Bill, which recently became law, provides for the erection of four research laboratories in different sections of the country for the purpose of discovering new uses for farm products. It is hoped that one of these laboratories will be placed in South Carolina and South Carolina members of the house and senate here are making concerted efforts in that direction. There are dozens of uses, now unknown. our farm products could be put to and every new use we find for these products will increase the income that a farmer can put In his pocket and will help us to get away from the one money crop system An Illustration of what can be done along this line can be found in the products now made from the lowly cotton seed. A few years ago farmers gave their cotton seed to get a bale of cotton ginned. Today cotton seed Is one of the most valuable of farm producsts. From It is made fertilizer, stock feed, oil, butter, bread and the like. Another example of what research work can do, may be found In the case of the Bweet potato Kxperlmental and research stations, one of the most outstanding of which Is In the state of Mississippi, have demonstrated that starch can be produced from the sweet potato profitably Research has, also, developed that dextrin can be made profitably from the sweet potato for use as adhesive for postage stamps, labels and envelops It is better than the glue now- used on stamps, which at present comes from Imported cassava starch There Is no doubt that In coming years our agricultural products will be put to uses which we do not now dream of. For these uses to be beneficial to our farmers, though, It will be necessary for processes to be developed making the manufacture of these products and by-products profitable to both the farmer and the manufacturer. The house on Wednesday completed debate on the Interior Approprla Htm Bill and pa*?*Hl the meaaure be foru adjourning On Thursday thu wuys and moan* committee reported to the house the 1938 revenue bill and at this writing the bill la being debated with the majority members of the ways and means committee support* lug the bill and the Republican members fighting It vigorously. The senate has before It the Government Re Organisation bill proposed by President Roosevelt. Debate will probably laat all week. Senator Byrnes Is sponsoring this Bill, which proposes to re-orgaglpa the executive departments of the government with a view to economy and efficiency. Naturally, a great many of ike departments of the government are against the bill because they believe its passage will disturb their neats. Many members of the bonne and senate bellevf that there will be litlle saving in the bill that it will veat too much authority In the president.

The beauty spots of Miami, Tampa, St. Petersburg; primitive life among tho Seminole Indians; big league baseball teams in training are further features.
