Nature lias provided the stomach with certain natural flunds known as the digestive juices, and it is through these juices that the food we eat is acted upon in such a way as to produce the rich, red blood that flows through the veins of our body and thereby makes us strong, healthy and robust, and it is the weakening of these digestive juices that destroy health. It is our own fault if we destroy our own health, and yet it is so easy for any one to put the r stomach out of order.

It Is dochljful if the people who generally g. w (the crop and eat the vegetable, | have given the attention to ii and I are acquainted with It to the extent covered in the department's puhlicai tlon. Prof. Meat tie has complied an | Interesting history of .the sweet [Kitato, and follows this skecth with a discussion of climatic conditions, character of soil, fertilizers, plantng, temperature, diseases, Insects, grading. [tacking, storing, ventilation of storage houses, marketing, uses, etc. The publication is interesting. In introducing ihe subject, Prof. Peattie says of the sweet potato. With the passing of each year the sweet potato is becoming of greater importance as a commercial truck crop in the United States. During a long period it has formed one of the principal sources of food for the people of the Southern States and of tropical America. As a commercial truck crop the sweet potato woul he included among the five of greatest importance, ranking perhaps about third in the list. As a food forthe great mass of the people Iving in the warmer portions of our country the use of this crop is exceeded by hominy and rice only. In manv t.f the Islands of the Pacific, especially in the Philippines, the swfeet potato 13 the prtcipa) vegetable food for huge numbers of the lower classes, at certnn seasons being almost the only food available. The sweet potato industry in tills country is readily divided into two classes of production: ( I ) For home use and ((2) for market. A quantity sufficient for home use can be grown under a wide range of conditions, while production 011 a commercial scale is somewhat restricted by climate and spil and also by market and transportation facilities. The larger eastern markets are now well supplied, but there are sections where the people have not as yet become accustomed to the use of sweet |>otatoes in large quantities. The field for the production and use of sweet potatoes is very broad, and tills crop promises to become of move general farm importance. in view of the constantly increasing interest, in sweet potatoes it is tiie purpose of this bulletin to give simple cultural directions covering their production both for homo use and for market, including the soil and its preparation, the propagation of the ptuiits, planting, harvesting, storing and marketing, together with the uses of sweet potatoes for stock feeding and for similar purposes. The sweet potato is of a tropical nature, its original homo nrolmhlv being the West Indies and Central America. The true sweet potato, as we have it growing in the United States, belongs to fiie morning glory Ipomoea Ihitas. Throughout the Southern States (lie sweet potatoes having moist llesh are coininonlv known as "yams" and those- having dry flesh as sweet potatoes. The numo "yam" is misleading and properly belongs to a distinct class of plants that are confined almost entirely to the tropics. Owing to the trophical nature of the sweet potato it naturally thrives best in the South Atlantic and Gulf Coast States, but Jt may be grown for home use as far north as Southern New York and westward along that latitude to the Itocky Mountains. The starch and sugar content of sv/eet potatoes varies considerably in different varieties, but as a rule they contain about i a per ccm or srarcu und 4 pof cont of sugar, making a total of 20 per cent of alcohol producing material. It is possible that sweet I otatoes #will become one of the chief sources of denatural alcohol tn the United States, but at present the methods of manufacturing have not been sufficiently perfected to warrauted their use for this purpose on a farm or community basis. * Baptist <Vuiverts at $11 Kncli.
