\ 900 Bushe!s of Sweet Potatoes
From Three Acres
Last spring Mr. J. H. Hendrix, of
Powder Springs, decided that he
would plant part of his land in sweet
potatoes instead of devoting it all to
cotton, so he selected three acres that
he prepared and planted to potatoes.
This ground was no better than
that in his other fields, and was not
prepared or fertilized any better than
the rest of the farm. Still it was
good land; for when he dug the pota
toes the three acres turned out 900
bushels. It was nothing uncommon
to find potatoes in this field weighing
ten or twelve pounds, and it was just
as often the case that single hills pro
duced 14 or 15 pounds of potatoes.
It is not a good practice to pro
duce potatoes this large, for the
quality is not as good as that of small
er potatoes and they do not sell as
well. These large potatoes were due
to the fact that the plants were not
thick enough on the ground. If they
had been 15 inches in the drill instead
of 20 to 24 the yield would have been
just as good and the potatoes smaller
|:md of better quality.
Mr. Hendrix has built a potato
storage house according to plans fur
nished him by the county agent. He
has just finished curing his potatoes
and expects to keep them until late
winter or spring when there will be a
ready market for them at a much bet
ter price than he could get now.
. Mr. Hendrix says it pays him better
to raise potatoes than it does to raise
cotton, and that next year he ex
pects to raise more potatoes than he
did this year.
Farmers who expect to reduce their
cotton acreage next year on account
of the boll weevil, will do well to go
see Mr. Hendrix’s potato house. Then
think the matter over and decide
whether it will pay you to build a
storage house and raise some potatoes
or not.

E teach Stenography, Typewriting, and Business

tions in short time. Our students have no difficulty
in securing positions. They are working for The
Western & Atlanta R. R., The Northwestern Insur
ance Co., The American Telegraph & Telephone Co.,
ete. All are giving satisfaction and doing well.
We opened this Business School one year ago.
Since then we have had students from Kennesaw,
Aeworth, Smyrna, Woodstock, Roswell, College
Papk, Atlanta, and Marietta.
It takes from three to six months to complete the
course, according to the ability and previous educa
tion of the pupil. Our classes are small and we ean
and do give a large amount of individual instruetion,
Our students attain a speed of 100 words per
minute in writing Shorthand, and of 300 words per
minute in reading their notes. Very few pupils in
the large Business Colleges attain so high a rate of
speed.
New pupils can enter at any time. It is not
necessary to go to Atlanta to take your Business
course. Why pay all that car fare? Why not study
at ““The Vietory’ and save the difference? We
have helped others. Won’t you let us help you?
