It is not too late to bed sweet potatoes, of which every farmer should have a good supply for his family and stock; for there is nothing grown which is a more general favorite for the table, while hores, cows, hogs and chickens can be fed on nothing more fattening or ■more relished by them. An acre that will prodnce 30 bushels of corn will readily afford 200 bushels of sweet po tatoes. Yields of 500 bushels to the acre on some Georgia lands have been reported by the Experiment Station at Griffin. Plants for setting out may be pur chased from those who keep them for sale or they may he grown for that pur pose. The beds should be prepared by putting stable manure at the bottom to the depth of 8 or 3 inches and then cov ering it over with 2 or 3 inches of sand. After the seed potatoes have been cut lengthwise they should be placed in the soil with the cut side down, and having been laid close to each other without touching should be covered to the depth of 2 or 3 inches. While they should be kept reasonably warm and moist, care must betaken to avoid any excess of either heat or moistute. When the sprouts have attained a height of four or five inches, they, may he carefully separated from the tubers, one at a time, with the thumb and fin ger, so as not to disturb the potato, for if this be uninjured, it will in a short time send up other shoots. Select Carefully. No diseased tubers should be selected for planting, for if thrifty slips are se cured, they will grow very rapidly. If weeds spring up, it is better to re move them by hand, since the use of the hoe may injure such tubers as lie near the surface. The cultivator oan be used between the rows to exterminate the weeds, which should be kept out of the field. * The tendency of the vines, as soon as they are two or three feet long, to take root at many of the joints and thus propagate new tubers is well known. This should be prevented by carefully loosening these vines from the soil either by hand or with a wide fork. But in doing this every precaution should be used to avoid bruising the vines,—State Agricultural Department. ABOUT CORN CULTIVATION Some Valuable Practical Hint3 Planter. Com is the special crop for this March and April. The rich, loamy soils, espe cially along the creeks and river bot toms, are best adapted for this crop, for com needs a moisture retaining soil, so that it may he better able to withstand a drouth at the critical period of tasseling and silking. After the soil has been deeply broken and thoroughly pulver ized with harrow and roller, furrows 3 to 5 feet apart, according to richness of soil, should be opened with a scooter or shovel and the grain dropped into the well prepared soil. Then on each side of the grains—not over them—should be placed the amount of compost or barnyard manure deemed necessary, if snch is used. Then cover them over witfi a double foot planter. If, how ever, the regular commercial fertilizer is used, we would prefer to disribute it all along the furrow and then follow it with a plow, so that it may bethor- oughly mixed with the soil before drop ping the grain. Best Time For Planting. When we consider all sections of Georgia, the best average time for planting corn is about March 10 or 15; a little earlier in the southern counties, a little later in the extreme northern sec tion, in some parts as late as April 5 or 6. As far as we can control such mat ters, we should secure the most favor able condition possible for the quick germination of the seed, and for the vigorous and rapid development of the stalk. The corn must be rapidly worked, and every effort must be made to prevent the springing up of grass or weeds, which, if they do appear in spite of the best endeavors of the fanners, must not he allowed to remain for any length of time. The cultivation of com, like hat of other crops, should be largely done before planting; and, after the first plowing, shallow surface cultivation only should be used, and for this pur pose improved harrows or cultivators are needed.—State Agricultural Depart ment. Every cotton planter should write for our valuable illustrated pamphlet, “Cotton Culture.” Sugar Cane. Increased interest is being aroused in the culture of sugar cane. As our vast timber lands become denuded of their magnificent forests there looms up an important question as to-what industry will take the place of our great lumber mills and turpentine stills. As the lands are cleared of timber, they must be converted into good farms, and it is very essential to know for what crops tliey are best adapted. Those who have given this subject careful attention have been thorough ly convinced that the sugar cane indus try of Georgia can be, and should he, greatiy increased. The sugar mill will accomplish the desired end. In 1.899 the United States paid foreign countries about $195,000,000 for sugar imported for domestic consumption. It took the .proceeds of nearly half the cotton exported to pay for this sugar. There is then net the least danger of an overproduction of sugar and syrup. Captain E. G. Purse of Savannah says that our common field com can also be used for the production of sugar, and that it would be a valuable auxiliary to the sugar cane by giving to the sugar mills work all during the summer when they would otherwise be idle. Sugar refineries and increased production of sugar cane will do much toward secur ing permanent prosperity to South Georgia.—-State Agricultural Depart ment. ’ Wholesale tea planting on 6,000 acres of land near Charleston has been begun by a company that expects eventually to put 300,000 pounds of tea a year on the market. Two million tons of sugar are annual ly imported for the sweet tooth of America. Porto Rico is a country of farms, 93 per cent of them worked by their own ers. It is sent free.
