ON GROWING "SUGARSPUDS" i Suggestions for Care of Sweet Potato Beds and Setting of Plants to the Field. Clemson College. April 18.?At this season the sweet potato slips should be coming up in the sweet potato bed. Care should be taken that the bed is kept moist at all times in order to encourage growth of the slips. Usually four inches of sand or sandy loam soil is placed over the potatoes in the bed. 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 tbe ground they will be large enough to set to the field. Care should be taken to 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 potatoes to furnish sufficient slips to plant an acre. One acre transplanted early in the season, say during the middle of May, will provide enougu. vine cuttings to set five acres more. After the vines have made a growth Qf from ten to twelve inches they are cut and transplanted in the same way as slips. These cuttings are usually from eight to ten inches long, and set their full length in the soil, leaving two or three buds only above the surface. In order that a large number of cuttings may be available early in the season, it is desirable to transplant the first acre of slips on comparatively rich soil, or to fertilize the land heavily with a commercial fertilizer in order to stimulate a vigorous grow A. Use Vine Cuttings. Potatoes grown from cuttings will be freer from disease than those grown from slips. Therefore, it is desirable to have as large a per cent of the crop as possible produced from vine cuttings rather than from slips. Thrpp 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 in the potato itself, and after the third drawing is removed, will not sprout freely. In order that the slips or cuttings may be transplanted to the field as soon as they are large enough, the ground where the potatoes are to be planted should be prepared in advance, so that advantage may be- 1 taken of a good season; otherwise it j' 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 apart in three-foot rows, j When set eighteen inches apart it will i require 9,680 plants to set an^acre; 1 if set twelve inches apart, as is some- 1 times recommended, it will require , 14,520. Potatoes are seldom set as ' close as twelve inches in the row, and this is done only when the tend- < ency is for the potatoes to grow too ] large. By close setting a larger number of potatoes is produced, but very few of the large or jumbo type are " found, the idea being to produce as ' large a percentage as possible of the No. 1 potato, that is one that is not j r more than 3% or less than 1% inches ] in diameter. Preparing and Fertilizing the Land. 1 After the land for sweets has been : thoroughly plowed, the rows should * be laid off three feet and a deep fur- , row opened with a shovel plow. The 1 fertilizer should be applied in this ( drill at the rate of 600 to 800 pounds j . per acre, a ridge formed over this fur- j ; row by running two furrows with a I 1 half-shovel turn plow on each side, j The plants should then be set on this ( bed. A fertilizer analyzing 8 percent! phosphoric acid. 3 percent nitrogen, ! and three percent potash is recom- i . mended for the Peidmont region, j whose the scils are clayey, or clayey- j loam. In the central and southern j < parts of the state, where the soils are j more or less sandy, a fertilizer analyz- ! ing 8 percent phosohoric acid, 3 per-' cent nitrogen, and 6 percent potash is recommended. The greatest care should be ta^mn in the preparation of ! the land and the subsequent cultiva- j tion in order that as high a. yield as possible may be obtained. We should endeavor to produce not less than 150 bushels per acre. Two hundred to j -- 225 bushels are frequently harvested j where the fields are properly plowed, ; fertilized, and cultivated. Varieties Recommended.' The Porto Rico, Nancy Hall, and Triumph are the three varieties now ; being grown most extensively in the i South. The Porto Rico is the most | popular variety in this state.

Through many sobs and tears, she told him all that had happened on the canal boat, and that her father had said her mother was dead. And so touched was Philip MacC'auley, he felt the tears rim his own lashes. For a long time, in fact until the rain ceased to beat upon the rocks and shore, they stayed under cover. Most of the time they were silent, most of the time Philip held the curly head against his breast. When the dawn began to break Tonnibel roused herself. "Pin goin' away now," she said. "I've got to go to my friends. And I can't tell you just how much I'm thankin' vou." "But if I let you go," protested Philip, "I'll never see you again. Oh, don't do that. Tony, I couldn't stand it now!" "I couldn't, either," she said under her breath. "I'll be coinin' back here to this hole some day." "When?" asked Philip, eagerly. "Today?" Tonnibel shook her head. "Nope," she replied wearily. "I'm dead beat out." "And I forgot that," cried the boy. "Tony, darling, will you?will you kiss me before you go?" Two arms shot out and clasped around his neck. Two eager lips met his in such passionate abandon that for a long time after Tony and Gussie had gone away toward the boulevard Philip MacCauley lay face downward on the shore, the sun peeping at him from the eastern hill.
