A Logical Mind.
A new recruit was on sentry for
the first time at night, when lie saw
some one approaching.
"Who comes there?" he challenged
sharply.
"The officer of the day," said the
other. . . ,
t "Then," was the sentry's unexpected
inquiry, "^'hat are you ,dcin'

The pretty girl was eagerly watching
the drill at a training camp when
a rifle volley crashed out. With a
nice, decorous surprised littie scream
she shrank back into the arms of
the -young man standing behind her.
"Oh!" she cried, blushing. "1 was

Growing Sweet Potatoes
Suggestions for Profttabia
i . 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

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.
