Cooking - Sweet Potatoes
The sweet potato is a delectable
food. It can be served in a great va
riety of ways. It is palatable and
nutritious. It contains 558 calories
per pound as compared with 378 cal
ories for the Irish potato. It is
sweeter than the Irish potato, and
contains 26 per cent more starch and
sugar. As a source of energy, the
sweet potato is more economical than
might be supposed and compare fa
vorably with all lenergy providing
foods. It supplies some phosphorous
and iron, and is recommended as a
food for every member of the fam
ily. Children will enjoy and profit
if liberally supplied with sweet po
tatoes.
While there are numerous methods
of preparing the sweet potato for
use, some of the best of the receipts
available are set forth below. These
have been prepared and their vir
tues and value fully demonstrated
by the home economics division of
the Georgia State College of Agri
culture. Cut them out and keep them
for reference. They will add variety
and palatability to the dietary.
Old-Fashioned Sweet Potato Recipes
Baked Sweet Potatoes
This is probably the most whole
some'way of cooking sweet potatoes
since some sweetness is lost when
they are steamed or boiled. Choose
smooth healthy potatoes; wash well
and place in a pan In a moderate
oven. Bake until soft. As soon as
the potato is soft to the touch, the
potatoes are done. »
Fried Sweet Potatoes
Partially cook in boiling water?
with the peeling on. Cool, peel and
cut in slices and brown in butter of
meat fryings. They may be sliced,
rolled in flour and browned carefully
in a small amount of fat. In both
cases they may be sprinkled lightly
with salt. x
Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Put unpeeled sweet potatoes of a
uniform size on to cook in boiling
water. Cook until tender. Remove
peelings. Mash well, season with
butter, salt and a small amount of
milk or cream. Beat until smooth
and light and serve hot.
Candied Sweet Potatoes
This is a favorite southern dish.
Half dozen medium sized sweet
potatoes.
Two cups brown sugar.
One cup hot water.
One tablespoonful lemon juice or
vinegar.
One teaspoonful cinnamon.
One-fourth .cup butter.
One teaspoonful salt.
Partially cook the unpeeled sweet
potatoes in boiling water. Cool and
peel. Slice one,fourth to one-third
inch thick lengthwise of the potato.
Put in layers/in a baking dish, not
packing too blosely. Make a thin

This pudding may be cooked in a
steamer or in a fireless cooker with
out stirring.
Bations for Laying Hens.
A good ration for laying hens is
one made of grain and mash. Grain:
5 parts of cracked corn, 1 part wheat,
and 2 parts of oats. Sunflower seed,
millet, peas, or any of the grains
grown on the farm may be added to
this.
Feed this grain at mornings and
nights, giving about one-fourth at
morning. It is betetr to feed it in a
littler of straw, pine needles, or
something that induces the hen to
work for exercise. With this, feed a
mash made of equal parts of wheat
bran, corn meal, heavy oats, and
meat scrap. Give them milk to drink
as for growing chicks. If not on
range, grit and oyster shell and char
coal should be provided. Table scraps
should be fed also.
Water is essential for egg produc
! tion. Supply plenty of fresh, clean
i water as for young chicks.
Destroying Nut Grass on Cultivated
Band.
F. B. C., Pinehurst, Ga.,
writes: I would like to kknow
how to eradicate nut grass as I
have some small spots on my
farm and wish to prevent it
from spreading.
One can destroy small areas of nut
grass by the use of salt. Heavy ap
plications will be needed, and this
may affect the productivity of the
land for time to come. Salt, as you
doubtless know, is used on asparagus
beds to hold back the growth of un
desirable weeds and grass. It is also
used on walks for the same purpose.
One can often secure salt from some
place where meat has been cured or
kept. This low grade salt which has
been used once is just as good for
the purpose you have in view as new
salt would be. You can necessarily
secure it at a much lower cost.
No method of destroying nut grass
is so effective as the use of smother
crops on the land. We would break
the soij immediately and seed It to
velvet beans or cowpeas. Velvet
beans have an advantage in that
they will take longer to mature than
cowpeas, and thus smother the nut
grass more effectively. As soon as
the beans or peas are harvested, you
should put the land in oats, rye or
wheat. If you seed oats, put some
crimson clover with them and this
will help to form a denser bottom
than where the oats are planted
alone. In case you use rye, you might
seed some hairy vetch. The con
tinuance of the use of smother crops
for about three years in succession
will enable you to get rid of nut
grass quite effectively.
Treating an Infected. Udder.
A correspondent, Homer, Ga.,
writes: I have a cow with her
second calf eight weeks old
which has small yellow blisters
on her udder and when they dry
up little bumps combe, and the
skin gets thick and dry. I have
been feeding her cotton seed
meal and hulls with boiled cot
ton seed. What remedy would
The symptoms given indicate that
your cow may be suffering from’.pox
Little can be done after an animal
has contracted this trouble. Ihe
parts should be kept soft by a PP*> r "
ing some healing material. Zinc
ohftment is excellent for this pur
nose After milking, a little of tne
lotion should be applied. If the udder
is creatly inflamed, bathing with hot
water twice daily ise good practice.
Cow/ that are affected with this dis
ease should always be milked la«t so
as to avoid carrying the di sease
other animals. Remember the han ds
should be carefuly wa shed and thor
oughly disinfected. Os course we
milk should not be used for food un
til the udder has thoroughly cleared
up and the animal has regained her
usual vigorous health.
Correcting Digestive Trouble in a

last four or five months in meet
ing cars and on heavy pulls he
stiffens and falls, but does not
remain down long. I would like
to ask what is the trouble and if
there is anything I can do foi
him.
The description contained in y OL ?r
letter indicates that your horse Is
suffering from a chronic f° r ™
digestion accompanied by more or
fefs colkky symptoms. When a horse
eats in the ravenous manner indi
cated, it is evidence of indigestiom
Trouble of this character is caused
bv the food not being thoroughly
chewed and mixed with the digestive
juices before it is swallowed. A
horse in a condition such you
scribe requires careful f eedi "S>
dling and management. It will taxe
some time to get him into good con
dition. You cannot bring this aboat
suddenly as he has doubtless _ been
a long Ume developing the condition
described in your letter. In the flwt
nlace it will be necessary lor you
to cut out corn from'the ration en
tirely for a while. Use bian<
bran and oats mixed together in
equal parts for a period of two or
three months. In the beginning you
may use bran mashes which are PJ®‘
pared by pouring boiling over
the bran, stirring, it thoroughly and
then allowing to cool before feeding.
Ycu should feed grain in association
with hay as this will require ns
more thoroughly and complete masti
cation and will tend to lessen Lie
disposition to bolt the food now
shown by your horse. See that tne
feeds are all clean and free from
dust or mold. This is a. matter of
the utmost importance. We suggest
that a good purgative be given to
begin with so as to cleanse the all
mentary tract. AVe advise rather
moderate feeding for, a few days.

HOW TO MIX ACID AND NITRATE
OF SODA
G I. T., Canton, Ga., writes:
I have some acid and nitrate of
soda which I desire to use on
cotton and corn, and wish to mix
them myself. How much of
each should I use, and how much
per acre? Can it all be applied
at the time of planting and in
the same furrow?
If you mix together, say, 400
pounds of 16 per cent acid phos
phate and 600 pounds of nitrate ot
soda, you will secure a very good
formula for use under corn and cot
ton. On the type of land prevail
ing in your section, we ordinarily
recommend about a 9-3-3. Under ex
isting conditions and on account or
the high price of potash, it is pre;
sumably all right to omit that par
ticular element this year. Five hun
dred pounds of a 9-3 would contain
forty-five pounds of available phos
phoric acid and fifteen pounds of
available nitrogen. Four hundred
pounds of the mixture I have sug
gested would contain approximately
forty-five pounds of available phos
phoric acide and eighteen to twenty
pounds of available nitrogen. In
other words, by using 400 pounds of
the mixture I have suggested, you
would be supplying as much avail
able plant food per acre as though
you were to use 500 pounds of a 9-3.
We think the suggested amount of
the mixture indicated should prove
quite satisfactory as a formula to
use under corn and cotton on the
soil types prevailing in your sec
tion. We would not hesitate to put
all of this fertilizer under the drill
row at the time of planting. It may
be put down when seeding is done
or it may be applied in advance if
you prefer and mixed with the sub
soil by means of a bull tongue. On
account of the lateness of the sea
son, you probably will not have an
opportunity to handle it in this man
ner. We have had every good re
sults, however, from putting ferti
lizer under the drill row at the time
of planting the crop. We can recom
mend this method, therefore, to your
favorable attention.
GROWING VELVET BEANS IN
THE NORTH
A. G. J., Galatia, 111., writes:
We have recently purchased from
Georgia some speckled velvet
beans to try here, but need some
advice. At what time should we
plant them and how many
should be used per acre? Should
they be inoculated? How should
they be harvested and cured?
There are two early maturing va
rieties of velvet beans known as the
Georgia and the Alabama varieties.
The Georgia variety matures a lit
tle earlier than the Alabama strain.
The Alabama strain is probably a
little more vigorous in growth. These
varieties of beans mature in from
ninety to 120 days. The speckled
velvet beans you have on han'd may
or may not belong to one of these
strains. Some varieties of velvet
beans, as you doubtless know, re
quire 160 days in which to mature.
They would not be suited to your
locality. »
Velvet beans may be planted when
corn is seeded. We prefer to put
them down with the corn. They
may be sown alongside the drill row
with a planter in which the plate is
so adjusted that it will drop them
every eighteen inches and cover them
to a depth of two and one-half to
three inches, When planting velvet
beans in corn in this state in the
manner indicated, we generally use
a peck to one-half bushel of seed
per acre. It is not necessary to
inoculate velvet beans, as they are,
a large seeded legume and appar-
ently they retain a sufficient amount
of the bacteria on the surface of
the seed to provide the necessary
inoculation. In this state we do not
plant velvet'beans by themselves ex- |
cept for the purpose of soil improve
ment. In that event, they could be
put in hills four feet apart in each
direction. They will soon spread and
cover the ground in this climate.
They make an astonishing mass of
roughage when grown in this man
ner. We sometimes graze them.
They are seldom cut for hay, as
they are very difficult to cure and
the leaves shatter and dry up very
quickly. For purposes of soil im
provement, they are a desirable crop.
They are also valuable for grazing
in this section, where grass does not
grow as abundantly as In Illinois.
-A HOME MIXED FERTILIZER
FORMULA
M. W. K., Coluiubus, Ga., writes: I
have been thinking of making my own
fertilizer out of nitrate of soda and 10-4 '
aei.d. How should these ingredients be
mixed to get the best results? I want
to use abo ( ut 400 pounds per acre. Is
it better to put it all in with the seed
or reserve some for side application?
Under your conditions we would use
75 to 100 pounds of nitrate of soda
with each 400 pounds of the 10-4
goods you now have on hand. We
would mix the nitrate of soda with
the basic fertilizer, and put the whole
amount under the drill row at the
time the crop is planted or slightly,
before if you prefer. In your sec-’
tion of the state and under the con
ditions which are likely to exist there
this summer, we do not believe you
will find it good practice to use side
applications of commercial fertilizer
on cotton. If side applications are
used at all, they should consist
wholly of nitrate of soda or some
other quickly available carrier of
nitrogen and the applications should
undoubtedly be made immediately
after the cotton has been chopped to
a stand.
LONG STAPLE COTTON IN
NORTH GEORGIA
M. A. G., Elberton, Ga., writes: I
have some Hartwell’s long staple seed.
Will long staple seed make a crop in
this section, and is it an early cot
ton? What varieties do you advise
to plant to get ahead of the weevil?
We have not tested this particular
strain here, and, therefore, cannot
speak of its merits at first hand.
Some of the long staple uplands will
no doubt do fairly well in north
Georgia even under boll weevil con
ditions. The varieties we recommend
for cultivation are the following:
College No. 1, Piedmont Cleveland,
Steinheirner’s Cleveland, Wannamak
er’s Cleveland, Sunbeam, Hooper’s
Big 8011, Texas Bur, Express (long
staple upland) and Webber 49 (long
staple upland). The long staple up
land cotton must be ginned on a rol
ler gin in order to secure a lint oi
high grade and quality which will
command a premium on the market.
Moreover, it is difficult to sell a few
bales. It is rather desirable under
such circumstances to make sure be
fore planting Strains of this character
that you can get the cotton ginned
properly and can find a ready mar
ket therefor.
Os the short staple uplands, we
have found College No. 1 to be the
earliest strain which we have tested
as yet. It was developed here on
the college farm by our pjant breed
ing experts. Next to it ih earliness
appears to be some of the strains of
the Cleveland Big 801 l
THE MERITS OF THE BUSH
VELVET BEANS
C. S’. M., Waycross, Ga,, writes: Have
you ever, tried the Lush velvet bean, ami
can they be planted earlier than cow
peas When shopld soy beans be sown,
and how much per acre? Will velvet
beans and soy beans make a crop of hay
bn poorer soil ihan cowpeas? Is it
necessary to inoculate them, and where
can I get the cultures?
We have tried the so-called “Bush”
velvet bean. They are characterized
by a more compact growth than some
of the other strains of velvet beans.
They do not produce as much vine
nor do they tend to run as much as
some other sorts. We think that a
gallon to a peck of velvet beans con
stitutes about the right amount to
sow per acre. We prefer to plant
velvet beans alongside the drill row
inf the case of corn rather, than to
seed them in the middle of wide rows.
We have never had much satisfac
tion from the cultivation of velvet
beans by themselves, * as we have
found it almost impossible in this
climate to cure them out .satisfac
torily for hay. This is due in part
to the tender, brittle character of
the leaves which shatter off the
vines so readily that it is dif'ieult
to save, them in the making gs hay
from this crop. Velvet beans cannot
be planted earlier than cowpeas or
soy beans. All of these crops may
be seeded at about the same time
that field or garden beans are plant
ed. AU of these crops are rather
susceptible to cold and so should not
be seeded until the land has warmed
up to a temperature of about 80 de
grees.-
We. would plant about two pecks
of soy beans per acre. This crop
may be seeded with corn or planted
In drills twenty-four or thirty inches
apart. In south Georgia we are dis
posed to think that cowpeas would
prove more satisfactory for the pro
duction of hay than soy beans. The
principal objection to velvet beans
for hay-making has already been
stated.
As a rule, we have not found it
necessary to. inoculate £.ny of these
crops. You can git a-small amount
of inoculating material from the
United States department of agricul
ture. It must toe used, cf course, on
an experimental basis. Ti e state de
partment of agriculture also manu
factures inoculating material Any
standard sort will answer tlie pur
pose. •' i
