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. The !
Triumph is an early variety and is1
planted extensively when the potaJ

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.
