Production of "Sugar" Spuds." ClemsoR College, * .j , 19.?There are few crops so well adapted to South Carolina conditions as the * sweet potato. This crop offers to the growers every advantage for successful growth and profit that is offered by other field cfr truck crops. Soil selection, preparation, fertilising, careful fitting and planting, and cultivating are the essentials of success in the growing of sweet potatoes, says Geo. P. Hoffman, Extension Service horticulturist. oU.?The sweet potato adapts itself to a grea* diversity cf soil, hut It delights in and thrives best on a well drained sandy cr clay loam soil with a day subsoil. But regardless of the a. J J 1 ?1- <^.1 - A UJ/vn n.* pportai 1QVA1 J/U J BiUAI UV/uui lavu V4 fthe soil, this crop must be rotated each year. Sweet potatoes may follow corn, cotton, small grain, and leguminous coyer crope. It may easily and effectively be worked Into any well balanced three-year rotation. Preparation of Soil.?-The soil may be thoroughly and daeply prepared by turning twice to a depth of six to eight inches followed by cross discing. Crooked and irregular roots result from shallow preparation of the eoi!. Therefore, deep and thorough preparation is very essential in growtag marketable potatoes. Fertilizers. ? Both barnyard end commercial. fertilizers are reoom mended, bnt the former must be JuAetouhly used. Unden the present shortage of potash, that clement of plant food most needed in excess, liberal applications of barnyard manure will be very effective both In supplementing this shortage, and in correcting the physical condition of the very heavy slayey soils. Ordinary both commercial and barnyard manures are applied in the drill when the soil is being fitted for setting the plants, and later as a side dresser. For the average elay soils that will produce a bale of eotten to the aore, 4GO to $09 pounds ef an 8-8-1 fertihaer is recommended. For the sandy soils producing a bale of eo4tea per acre, 400 to 600 pounds of an 8-34 fertiliser is recommended. Fitting the Soil and Setting the w*1?i- TKwMMfn i-v frt a*ttinr til a arwvi J w plants, which should he from* May 1st to July 15th / lay off rows 3 to 3 1-1 , feat apart and apply the barnyard manure (8-10 tons per acre) or commercial fertilizer made of two-thirde 1? per cent acid and one-third eoiton seed meal applied in the drill, and j thoroughly aiix with the soli. Plant- I ing- beds of medium height, depending upon drainage, should be thrown up and dragged *owm, and the plants or vine-cuttings set 12 to 18 inches apart. To correct the packed condition of the soil brought about through the transplanting process, the water furrows should be harrowed or otherwise cultivated immediately following the setting ef the plartg. For late plantings, the one-leaf, S .to 10 inch Tine cuttings are more desirable than are the slips or "draws," especially for the growing of seed stock. Varieties.?Nancy HaH, Porto Rico, and Triumph are the leading and most popular varieties grown in this state. Triupiph is one of the earliest varieties, and should be planted when potatoes are gToi^n for early market. Cultivation.?Frequent shallow cultivation should he practiced until" the vines have covered the ground,: during which period the greatest care must be used in turning the vines. At the first cultivation, which consists of a careful hoeing and siding with a broad furros, a side dressing of one-third cotton seed meal and two-thirds 16 per cent acid phosphate , should be applied, 400 to 500 pounds per acre, and thoroughly mixed with the soil. The Orangeburg sweep or heel bow and shovel is vsry effective in cultivating this crop. A Good Example of Profits.
