Farmers who plan to save
sweet potatoes for beding in
should start making
now, County Agent R. P.
declared this week.
He pointed out that all seed
tatoes should be grown from
tip cuttings. “It is practically
possible to maintain disease
seed stocks when ‘draw
are saved for seed,” he
ed, ‘as stem-rot, black-rot
scurf are passed from seed
toes to draw.
The county agent said
enough vine cuttings can be
en from one acre of draw
toes of Cliett Bunch Puerto Rico
to set three or four acres, although
this will substantially decrease the
yield of the “mother” patch. One
to two acres can be set per acre
of draw potatoes without serious
effects upon yield.
Prior to cutting and setting vine
tips the "mother” patch should be
“rogued” and all off-type or dis¬
eased plants removed Swan said.
He pointed out that this should
be done in June.
The soil of the seed patch should
be well prepared and fertilized
from seven days to two weeks be¬
fore setting, he continued. Approx¬
imately one-half of the total fer¬
tilizer should be broadcast and in
coroporated into the soil before
ridges are made. The other helf
should be stirred into the drill
when ridges are formed. Ridges
be reasonably fresh when

cuttings are set.
The county agent recommended
liberal fertilization 1,000 to 1,-
800 pounds per acre of 4-8-4 or
4-12-12.
Plenty of water is necessary to
insure a rapid early growth, he
said. One pint per plant is suffi¬
cient except in extremely dry per¬
iods when a second watering may
be necessary. When irrigation
equipment is available, application
of one inch of water at planting
is desirable. Starter solutions are
valuable in hastening earlier
riowth. Mr. Swan said the seed
patch should be on land free of
sweet potato diseases, where no
sweet potatoes have been grown
for several years. If certification
is desired, get vine cuttings from
i certified metier patch and re
;uest inspection from the State
Entomology Department in Atian
a, he advised.
