Th«‘ folluwinc letter from Ih^
I North Carolina • State Collc'^o of
Apriiulture and KnKineerlng of W’est
ilslHgh, N, C. t to the Vuginls-Csr-
olina Chemical Co., Richmond, Va.,
will be fead with interest:
' For a w»H'k 1 have tried to find
time to write an article urging the
farmers to plant heavily of sweet
potatoe-. If the war continues for
another year the production, of hu
man food (tops will l»e a seriou**
problem, not only in the South but
throughout the world. The North
west has annually ' been supplying
the Soiftlr w ith hundreds of millions
of dollars worth of food necessities
to feed the people of the South. The
enormous'Quantities of food that the
United States have been shipping to
Kurope must continue,- and hard
ships are inevitably coining if the
war continues six mouthy long«*r.
Ttyere is no. ejop grown i,n -the
South that will, furnish aft much
food valy.e pej^ acre or so cheaply as
wHl the. sweet potato. A dollar’*
worth of swe«^ potatoes usfd at
human food haS-^practically double
the food value of a dollar’s worth
of wheat atjd corn. An acre of av
erage land in sweet potatoes will
produce more food than two acre;-,
of corn and more than four acres of
wheat In the cotton belt.
•'Sweet potatoes may l>e planted
•as late as July and yield twice m
much human food as corn on land
of average fertility. It is the most
important. crop that the South n'.n
now grow,’and there remains Ma.'.
•tone and a pait of July in which
tlTW crop may be planted.
, “The sweet potato has a highe*
food value than the Irish potato,
atld it is now too late to plant tho
latter with any assurance oV suc-
rbss, and then there is practical!)
no seed available. There is ample
sweet potato seed available, and a
bushel of sweet potatoes will pro
duct* plants enough to plant from
six to ten times as much land as a
bushel of Irish.
“An acre of land that will pro
duce 15 or 2d bushels of corn. 8
to 12 bushels of wheat, or 150 to
200 pounds of lint cotton' wll pro
duce 50 and may produce 80 orN^OO
bushels of sweet potatoes, depend
ing upon the good preparation of
the soil and $ood fertilizers. N >
crop will yield so much per acre of
so high a food value, on so poo
land as will this highly nutritious
root crop. Sweet potatoes may fol
low the 'vartous early truck and
farm crops harvested in May and
June, such as cabbage, Irish pota
toes, etc., small grain, crimson
clover, etc. .
“In view of the scarcity Ml pot
ash I would recommend for sweet
potatoes between 600 and 1200
pounds of a fertilizer analyzing
to 10 per* cent, of phosphoric acid,
and 2 to 4 per ceht of nitrogen. On
very thin land I would use the high
er per cent of nitrogen, and on her
der land the lower per cent.

liquor bill of the United States
amounts to'considerably more than
two b'illion* of dollars. We cannot
understand the immensity of two
billions much more than we can
comprehend seven billions.
Mut this we can understand: this
monstrous sum voted by Congress
to prosecute the war with Germany
only amounts to the American drink
hill for three years. In other
words, every three years we squan
der for drink enough to pay the
entire war hill appropriated by Con
gress, enormous as It Is.
It is estimated that the combined
war bills of all the nations engaged
in the war up to this time amounts
to about $80,000,000,000. Very
well. The Ameciran drink bill for
about 35 years would wffce It all out.
to say nothing of the drink bills of
the other nations engaged in the
bloody carnage.
It is quite likely that by the
mere abolition of drink from the
fae# of the world, the saving there-
hv would pay the money expenses
of the war at the present rate for a
a century to come.
Take vour pencil and figure the
thing out for yourself and see where
von come out. *v
looking at the situation from
this angle, this seven billions of
dollars Is comparatively not such
a big thing after all —The Ameri-
