plans for production of this car were

were delayed though experimental
and engineering work were continued
and test cars kept on the road. When

THE SWEET POTATOA
MONEY CROP
OF IMPORTANCE
F. H. Jeter, Soil Improvement Conv
mittee. j
Entering the field In competition J
with the other more firmly established
money crops, the soathern sweet
j potato is rapidly gaining m popularity
as a field crop of first importance. One
of the greatest drawbacks to Its successful
establishment has been that no
adequate meahs of curing and storing
had been advised until the last few
years. With the successful operation
of these potato storage houses, however,
the crop can now be marketed
successfully. It is probably one of
the most cheaply growp crops of the
South and with proper fertilization,
the least fertile lands can be made to
produce excellent yields. Statistics
show that It is an ordinary accomplishment
to crow a crop of from 200
to 400 bushels per acre on most any
soil of average fertility with proper
fertilisation.
Possibilities As a Money Crop.
As to the money income from the
. crop, it must be said that it compares
most favorably with cotton. Statistics
show that the average return'
from an acre of cotton amounts to
about $70.87 per acre, while th^ returns
from an acre of potatoes
amounts to $134.19. . One grower in
! South Carolina reports to the college
i that he made a net profit of $1,216.36
; on four acres, which is a return over
J three hundred dorian per acre. This
grower was careful to keep an accurate
account of all expenses, including
that of curing, marketing and grad;
ing his crop, and his experience shows
, th? possibilities of the sweet ^potato
as a money crop for the South. In
fact, it proves the value of the crop
beyond all question.
- *J M.?iw All ftaila.
rroaucea nur v? ? ./ ,
The soil and climatic conditions of
the lower South are very favorable
i to its growth and produce a root, mueh
sweeter and richer in nutriment than
the harder and more starchy tuber
of the more northern states. The poj
tato makes its best yields in the sandier
soils. It will do well on .most
i any soil that is well drained, but If
grown on soils that are too fertile,
produces a larger araonnt of vine at
the expense of the potatoes. A light
soil, not too fertile, with a firm subsoil,
gives best results. If the subsoil
is too loose, and not* compact, a
large proportion of the roots will be
stringy and unfit for market purposes.
Preparation of the soil is about as
for ootton. The land is broken, laid
off, the fertilisers applied in the rows
- and this bedded upon. The ridge is
generally allowed to settle firmly before
the slips or vines are planted.
Some Leading Varieties.
- As to varieties, the Nancy Hall
seems to be the prime favorite at this
time. The Porto Rico and Triumph
varieties are also very popular and
rank with the Nancy Hall as a good
yielder and a market favorite. The
Southern Qu^en and Yellow Jersey are
two other varieties which have found
j favor with some growers.
Liberal Fertilization Important
I The question of fertilizers is, . of
course, related to the kind of soil on
which the crop is grown. On the
J whole the crop needs liberal fertillxa
1 tion and responds well to this treat- j
i ment. Hie sweet potato needs a complete
fertilizer and an application 0f
I at least from 800 to 1,000 pounds per
V. 1(^4
i acre. Some manure may ue ?iwu?u,
but It should be understood that .this
(is an unbalanced plant food, that because
of its nitrogen content will develop
the rine to the detriment of the
roots if applied in too large quantities.
The same thing is true of a commercial
fertiliser mixture baring a
' high nitrogen analysis. The crop
! needs ootash more than do general
field crops, since this element seems
to aid' in the elaboration of starch in
the roots. It was found, however, that
during the shortage of potash, due to
the recent war, that sweet potatoes
would produce well with a less amount
of potash than had been previously
thought necessary.
For best results the crop must have
a good supply of readily available I
phosphoric acid. A formula containing
all three of the necessary elements
of plant food would be, for the
coastal plain region, 9 per cent available
phosphoric acid, 3 per cent nitrogen
and 4 per cent potash. For the
Piedmont region, a good mixture will
contain 9 per cent available phos*
* * ??* ml?pnsan and
phoric Ida, z per cent. uiuvBvU
2 per cent potash.
Curing Houses Solves Marketing
Problem.
Curing and storage houses are now
going up rapldlj all over the South.
Some of these are established on the
I Individual farm for the individual
crop, bet many large houses to store
the community crop are also being constructed.
The coring house sares
from 95 to 98 per cent of the crop In
excellent condition^ for food as contrasted
to a former loss of from 20
to 100 per cent of the roots under the j
old system of banking and handling. I
A storage house may be cons tract ed {
for about 60 cents a bushel for house* 1
of from 600 to 2,600 bushels capacity ,
I and for 40 cents per bushel for larger
he?as. Plana for these houses may

United States Department of Agriculture.
