It is practically a sure crop and Iin view of 'the labor situation it is one of the very best erops that canl be planted. Evory sweet potato that is grown in this State is growing to help in the food light to win the war. In addition, potatoes in the presont Illarket con. ditions are a wonderfully profitable crop. At the requet of the Chairman of the food product toi camn paign In this State, Prof. George P). Iloffnian has prepared a series of articles in con neetion with the planting and gather ing of seed potatoes. and will be pub llised froni tine to tlime.
