For best results apply 5 pounds of 5-10-10 fertilizer broadcast per 100 square feet of area and work thoroughly into the soil. Plants should be set about 6 to 8 inches apart in three foot rows. If a choice of varieties is available try a row of both Georgia and Vates. Now the Georgia variety is a tall growing plant with slightly curly leaves. Vates is a com pact growing plant that has pro ven popular with home growers in recent years. Both are highly tolerant to cold and barring un usual low temperature and both should produce an adequate crop by the new year. If aphids get to be a problem, try malathion.

The County Agents Column Frost and Fire:It will soon be the time of the year that frost kills and leaves fall, this sig nals the beginning of the forest fire season. South Carolina usually has from one to five thousand wild fires annually, most of them oc curring during the winter and spring seasons. It is advised that landowners should begin now to take the precautions to prevent these fires. Precautions such as: Fresh plowing of existing fire lanes and construction of new ones where needed, are the principal deterrents to the spread of fire. Single fire lanes should normal ly be about six feet wide, but a safer system is to construct two parallel lanes 30 to 50 feet apart, then use controlled burn ing to dispose of the flammable material between the lanes. Woodland may be divided into blocks of about 50 acres. Roads and streams are good fire bar riers, and are consider jd in fire lane planning. We should always be on the lor ui for fire that maybe start- e f from some careless reasons. ersons who discover a wild fire should immediately notify your local county forest ranger whose telephone number is list ed in the telephone directory. Fire towers are located in each section of the county. Tow- ermen in these tall structures keep a constant watch during daylight hours and spot check periodically after dark. But since time is the essence in fire control, everyone’s as sistance in spotting fires aids in getting them under control rap idly. Harvest Sweet Potatoes: You know October is here and this is the month we usually harvest our sweet potatoes for both mar ket and home use. When pota toes are dug we should let them stay on shoulder of beds several hours to dry off and toughen skin. This makes a clean potato and helps to prevent bruising. Potatoes should be graded carefully. Also carefully pick up and place them in baskets. Fill baskets full enough so that lids will fit tightly to keep potatoes from shifting about in baskets and bruising in hauling to mar ket or storage house. For curing and storage, put in a storage house immediately after digging. Do not let them stay out overnight. Temperature of house should be 80 to 85 de grees F. When potatoes are put in with relative humidity of 90 percent, keep house at this tem perature and humidity for about eight to ten days. When weather is warm in Oct ober, you may not need artifi cial heat for curing. Tempera ture may already be 80 to 85 degrees F. in the house. Never let moisture collect on walls or overhead or storage house during curing or storage period. If this happens, dry out house by ventilating it. Now, after curing, house should be kept at a temperature of 55 de grees F. if possible. If temper ature goes down to 40 to 45 de grees F. potatoes may get chill ed and cold injury will show up. Keep relative humidity from 85 to 90 percent during storage per iod. If you are going to market any potatoes, they should be thoroughly clean, well-graded, and attractively packed.
