Th# yam is a common garden crop
in 'Porto Rico and is one of the
most important and lowest-priced
food products of the island, says
Bulletin 27 of the Porto Rico Agricultural
Experiment Station. This
bulletin, which is entitled "Yam Culture
in Porto Rico," discusses the
commonly practiced methods of growing
yams and summarize some of
the experimental work undertaken by
the station to improve these methods.
The yam referred to in this bulletin
is the true yam land not the so-called
yam of the Southern States, which
is a sweet potato.

to most soils of the island and is
almost entirely free from destructive
insect pests and'plant diseases. Practically
the entire production is for
home use, but according to the bulletin,
if the crop were properly handled
it might he shipped to other markets
with little fear of -oss or' deterioration.
The better varieties of yams have
a high food value, due mainly to
their very large starch content.

cost should serve greatly to <timu- \
late extension of its use. The intro- (
duction of new and improved varieties
and methods 'of culture results
in a product superior to the I
yams commonly thrown, and which it c.
is believed will find a more ready 1
market. Porto Rican planters have, }
however, been so certain of a fair
yield, as a rule, that not much ef- ^
iort nas neretoiore oeen made to improve
varieties or methods of culture.
i
As regards methods of culture, the
bulletin points out that a well drained
soil of good mechanical condition
is a prime requisite. For this reason
it is recommended that ridges
of well drained soil and vegetable
matter should be made sufficient^ j
large at the time of planting to en- 1
able roots to make /a. normal growth ?
above the water level of the soil and '
above the firm sub-soil. Plants '
should be placed from 1 to 2 feet
apart in these ridges, according to
conditions peculiar to the root growth '
of each variety.
Avoid Bruising the Roots.
Either entire roots or parts of
roots may be planted, although 5
the crown or upper section J
has been found to give the most sat '
faction at the experiment station. !
Dipping in Bordeaux mixture is an
effective means of preventing ideca.s 1
of roots cut in pieces for seed. In
the station experiments application <
of fertilizers did not result in sufficient
increase in the crop to warrant
their recommendation. Tests in prun
ing the vines resulted in each cas??
in a marked decrease in production.
Yields were low also where supports
had not been provided for the vines.
In harvesting yams care should be
taken to avoid bruising the roots because
injured roots lare usually attacked
by disease and then decay.
Guinea is the most desirable variety
on account of its heavy yield, its
high food value, and its pleasant
flavor. The variety called Mapue
morada sells at a higher price than
other yams, but its yield is usually
low. Among the lately introduced
varieties recommended for .general
planting the 'one known as Potato,
which was introduced from Africa,
and a variety of the species Dioscorea
alata, from New Guinea, produce
heavy crops ,of roots having a
high food value and palatable flavor.

(Continued front last week.)
What we are going to do must be
lone right now?right away. The batle
will be lost or won in the next
i.\ or eight weeks. After that time
ou may as well go fishing, with the
nilance of what you would have
>therwise made to the weevils, and
>ray for hot, dry weather. There is
10 such thing as a top crop of cotton
vhen weevils are present. One thing,
ibove all others is necessary for suc:et-s,
and that is confidence?a determination
to win no matter how great
he odds. Many victories have re;ulted
from confidence and dterminaioit?the
great war for instance. If
,*ou get panicky and plow up your
otton because it has boil weevils on it

his fall. No man can predict now
vhat weevil damage will he this
rear, whether twenty-five, fifty, 01 i

Three Things to Do.
There are three important things!
,'ou can do withiut much, if any, ex-j
jense, and as I said in the beginning1
;ou can easily double your crop bv
ioing them, and one that you can do'
vith considerable expense without
ertainty or profit.
First: Pick and destroy as many
possible of the weevils off the young
:otton. Keep after them every morn
ng until squares appear where the |
veevils become too difficult to find,
rhey are easily found now while
;ucking the buds. Have the women
md children do this work. Pay so
nuch a weevil. Adjust the price ac:ording
to the number of weevils you
lave. It may be five cents or a half
;ent may be correct. Do not hire
four "weeviling" done by the day.
Second: When squares begin to fal\
>n the ground go over your cotton
ow by row at least every week for
;ix or eight weeks, picking up and
turning all the punctured squares pos
;ible, and also get what weevils can
3e found without losing too much
:ime.
Third: Cultivate oftener than usual
D1 ?U?11 > ' * '
riiMv Aiiaiiuw aim over your cotton
through and through at least once a
week. Also plow later than has been
your custom in the past.
Fourth: Experiment with calcium
arsenate poisoning if you feel willing
to take chances of losing or maybe
breaking even or making a small
profit on the possible increase in
yield. Results from dusting with
calcium arsenate have not given uniform
results. Its general use cannot
be recommended at this time?no other
poison is at all effective on weevils.
It is no more reasonable to plow upl
your cotton than it would be to dyna
mite your house tf a spark should 1
start a small blaze on the roof. The
sensible thing to do if you want to
save the house is to pour a few buckets
of water on the fire and you might
not even need the fire department's
help.
Picking early weevils and the first
two generations of punctured squares
is absolutely effective in making cotton
under weevil conditions. I have
made twice as much por acve on my
own place in Alabama by this method
as neighbors who did nothing across
the road.
Pays to Pick Weevils.
t :e ......
T Ul (V II ail^Y \t I %>WUI >
weevils will come to your field until
later in the year. Meanwhile you can
have a half or two-thirds of a crop
made.
It pays to pick "weevils if you do not
find but two per acre, likewise with
squares if you get only a handful per
acre. In some progressive communities
I have known the towns and
cities to raise funds with which to
pay for early weevils brought in This
method of weevil control should appeal
to your common sense. Let me
illustrate:
If your wife has twenty-five hens,
for instance, and disposes of twenty
of them, can she possibly raise as
many chickens as she would have
with all twenty-five? And if she
gathers the eggs of the others as laid,
can the hens possibly hatch as manv
chicks as they could have dom- had all
the eggs been left in the nest? Certainly
not. In other words, raising
cotton under weevil conditions, can
be, done profitably and the most foolish
thinir you c?>n do is to quit p'antjing
cotton. You will never regret
anything as much in your life. The
sickest fellow I ever saw is a Southern
farmer with no cotton to pick rnd
sell in the fall, especially if his
neighbors happen to make a pretty
good crop.
Can't Estimate the Damage.
You cannot anticipate weevil damage.
Some years it will be worse
than others and worse in some fields
than others. The weevil is like the
Irishman's flea?you can't put your
finger on him. About the time you
think you have a good crop made, he
can eat it up, if the weather turns off
wet and you have not been "weeviling"
and "squaring."
They are still raising cotton all
over the South in spite of the weevils
but in few, if any, instances on the
same old basis. The weevil bringf
new conditions and they must be met

under favorable conditions may be
had trom the case of Alabama in 191G.
The previous year the State made, if
my memory is correct, 1,500,000 bales
of cotton and in 191(5 with extreme
rainfall and consequent weevil damage,
only 500,000 bales?a two-thirds
'oss with not all the Stale infested
with weevils! Some of the worse affected
counties like Montgomery,
Dallas, Lowndes, (hopped from 40,000
and 50,000 bales to from 4,000 to 8,000.
Imagine if you can what conditions <
here would be with a 5,000 or even
10.000 bale cotton crop!
What Happened in Alabama.
1 have seen with my own eyes fields
of cotton that would hide a man on
horseback that didn't make planting
seed. Many one-mule share croppers
with twenty acres planted could not
go to gin without clubbing in with
one or more others. Towns with four
and five ginneries had only one in operation,
and that on certain days during
the busiest season. And the following
year whole plantations did
not have a negro on them or a furrow
turned, and, saddest of all, many of 1
these lands are now in the hands of,
outsiders, who seized the opportunity
to buy them cheaply. For whole seasons
not a ear of mules was shipped
into Mongomery, but train loads went
out, while in pre-weevil days Abraham
Bros, there did one of the biggest
mule businesses in the South?wholesale
and retail. I

I would also urge and plead with (
you to begin now your plans for a re- '
duced acreage of cotton to from six
to eight acres per plow (you cannot
handle more successfully.) Plan for
a variety of crops next year, but do
not plunge into any new crop too
Vionvilv Thp pvnpnpncf will be too
expensive. It is much better to prow
into these new things. Plan first of
all to raise as much as possible of
those things we have been raising
cotton to buy with. All of this means
the greatest change that has come in
your system of farming since the
emancipation of the negro. It is nothing
less than an agricultural somersault,
but unless the weevil fails to
run to form you have got to take it
?and the sooner it is done the easier
and less expensive it will be.

the fundamental principle of good
