"t - ■ Clemson College, April 18.—At this season the sweet potato slips should be coming up in the sweet potato bed. Care should be takes that the bed is kept moist at all times In ordor to el* courage growth of the slips. T. sftally four inches of sand or sandy loam soil is placed over the potatoes in the hed. This will force the slips to come up through four inches of soil or sand. When the slips are three Inches above the .surface of tho ground they wilt bo large enough to set' to !he field. Care should be taken wet the sweet potato bed thoroughly two or three hours before the slips are drawn; otherwise they may be broken in drawing. It will require three bushels of po tatoes to furnish suffclent slips to plant an acre. One acre transplant ed early in the season, say during the middle of May, will provide enough vine cuttings to set five acres more. After the vines have made a growth of from t@n to twelve inches they are cut and transplanted la the same way TOTAL __-j.__ ■ _-I3‘1 Qoa4 Iff as slips.

Use Vine Cuttings. Potatoes dgrown from .cuttings will be freer from disease than those grown'from slips. Therefore, it is de sirable to have as large a per dent of (he crop as possible produced from vine cuttings rather than from slips. Three or four drawings may be made from the potato- bed. provided the slips are not allowed to grow too long before removing them. The slips are supported by the plant food contained ffc the potato itself, and after the third drawing is. removed, will not sprout freely. r In order that the slips or cuttings may lie transplanted to the field as soon as they are large enough, the ground where the potatoes are to be planted should be prepared in ad vanoe. so that . advantage may he taken of a good season: otherwise it may be necessary to water the plants as they are transplanted to the field. This, of course, is very expensive and should be avoided wherever possible. Distance for Setting. The usual distance for setting the plants is from fifteen to eighteen inches span in three-foot rows. When set eighteen inches apart it will require 9,680 plants to set an acre: if set twelve Inches apart, as is some times recommended, it will require 14,520. Potatoes are seldom set a* clone as twelve inches' in the row. and this is done only When (he tend f ncy is for the potatoes to grow too large. P.y close setting a larger num ber of potatoes is produced, but very few of the large or jumbo type .are found., the idea heinv. to produc e as large a percentage as possible of the No. 1. potato, that is one that is not more than or less than .liv, finches In diameter. Preoaring and Fertilizing the Land. , After the land for sweats has been ■ thoroughly plowed, the rows should lie laid off three feet and a deep fur row opened with a'shovol plow. The* fertilizer should be applied in this drill at. (he rate of 600 to SUP puimd- per acre, a ridge formed over this fur- TOTf by^run nftfg ' (4 o "Tiirfo'ws r vYHi "a" half-shovel turn plow on each side. The plants should then he set on this bed. A fertilizer analyzing 8 percent phosphoric acid,. 3 percent nitrogeib itftd - Three ‘ percent" potash is recom mended for the Peidmont region, whose the soils are clayey, or clayey- loam. In the central and 'southern parts of the state, where the soils are more ■or less sandy, a fertilizer analyz ing 8 percent phosphoric acid. 3 per cent nitrdgen. and 6 percent potash is recommended. The ..greatest care should be taken in th*e preifhration of the land and the subsequent cultiva tion in order that as high a yield as possible may be obtained,. We should endeavor to produce not less than Ibh bushels per acre. Tvi'o hundred to 225 bushels are frequently harvested where the fields are, properly plowed, fertilized, and cultivated. Varieties Recommended. The Porto Rico. Nancy Hull, and Triumph are the three varieties now -being grown most extensively in. the South. The Porto Rico is the most popular, variety in this state.
