arrange them so that they form a kind

give out high or low notes, according to
their size, as he taps them with his fin-

Sweet Potato Weevil.
The sweet potato weevil is doing
considerable damage in some parts
of the State, hence the seed should al-
ways be carefully selected so that
no weevil infested potatoes will be
bedded. It is also necessary to rotate
the crops and not plant potatoes of-
tener than every three or four years
on th* same piece of land, and to
give plenty of cultivation.
Bedding for Slips
Forf the main crop, sweet potatoes
are bedded out about the first of
March, in Central Texas, and earlier
or later than this for points south or
north of this line, varying according
to the distance.
There are two methods of bedding,
viz: One in hot beds and the other
in cold frames, without heat The
seed beds should be located on a well
drained place and it is best, if possi-
j hie, to have them in a protected place
j or on land having southern exposure,
which will be somewhat wanner.
For a hot bed the soil should be
removed to a depth of about six
inches from a place six feet wide and
as long as is necessary to hold the
desired amount of potatoes. On an
average .from twelve to fifteen
square feet of space are required to
bed a bushel of potatoes. Make a
frame of 1x12 in. boards around the
| edge of this bed. Fresh horse manure
is then placed in the excavation, dam-
pened down and packed. From six

years upon the ramp over which they
dragged the stones, a work not less,
In my Judgment, than that of building
the pyramid itself. . . . The ten
years, 1 mean, were expended upon
tills ramp, and the work upon the
mound upon which the pyramids
stood, and upon the chambers under-

building the pyramid Itself was 20
years.—Herodotus In his "History,"

What is CASTORIA
Castoria is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric,
Drops and Soothing Syrups. It is pleasant. It contains
neither Opium, Morphine nor other narcotic substance. Its
age is its guarantee. For more than thirty years it has
beep in constant use for the relief of Constipation, Flatulency,
Wind Colic and Diarrhoea; allaying Feverishness arising
therefrom, and by regulating the Stomach and Bowels, aids
the assimilation of Food; giving healthy and natural sleep.

is packed, is sufficient for this clim-
ate. Afer the manure has been pack-
ed down, three or four incles of clean
soil is spread over it. The potatoes,
after having been disinfected, are
placed on this and covered with about
three inches of clean soil. Some suc-
cessful growers find it beautiful to
place a thin layer of cottonseed hulls,
straw or pine needles on top of the|
bed, to serve as a mulch and prevent
packing of the surface. Canvas
should be kept over the beds at night
of 100,000 j and on cool days to keep the warmth I
relay for j jn them and protect them against
beating rains. The canvas should bej
fastened on one side of the bed and
tacked to a long pole or thin board1
on the toher side, so that it can be
easily rolled up.
If the potatoes are bedded out late
enouih in the season, the manure
may be omitted and merely the frame
and canvas used. By this method,
which is used a great deal, the po-
tatoes should not be covered over two
inches at first, so that the soil can
warm up more quickly from sun.
After they have begun sprouting,
more soil should be added, until they
are covered with about three inches.
When the slips are drawn from the
seed bed, they should be examiied
carefully—both stem and root—and
if and discolored or diseased spots
are noticed the plants should be dis-
carded. Yellow foilage also indicates
disease.
On an average, about 2,000 plants
can be expected from a bushel of
bedded potatoes, and it requires from
8,000 to 12,000 plants per acre, de-
pending upon the distance between
the plants and rows.

On account of the diseases, partic-
urlarly black rot, which are doing a
great deal of damage to the sweet po-
tato crop in the field and in the stor-
age houses, it is very important that
the seed potatoes should be carefully
selected at bedding time. Every po-
tato which shows any black spots or
other signs of disease should be dis-
carded and the sound ones dipped for
ten or fifteen minutes in a solution
containing one ounce of corosive sub-
limate to eight gallons of water. This
solution will kill the disease germs
on the surface of the potatoes but
cannot reach those which have al-
ready gone through the skin, and
hence it is important to select the
potatoes carefully before they
dipped.
The dipping can be easily done in
a shallow vat or in barrels or half-
barrels. Wooden vessel* should be
used, as the chemical is corosive to
metal. This solution is poisonoug and
should not be left where livestock or
children can have access to it.
A handy way to do this dipping is
to place the potatoes in bushel bas-
kets or hampers and then immerse
’hem in the solution for ten or fif-
teen minutes. They are ready to be
placed directly into the seed bed as
■soon as the solution has drained off.
While these are being bedded,
other lot can be dipped.
This method is very simple and li
extremely important in keeping down
•eriou« diseases which are threaten-
ing the industry. All growers of
•lips, whether for home use or com-
mercial purposes, are urged to follow
vhaae direction*.

Kind of Soil.
The sweet potato can be success-
fully grown on a wide range of soils,
but the ideal soil for this crop is a
light and well drained sandy loam,
with a clay subsoil, to which has been
added decayed vegetable matter in the
form of barn yard manure, or green
crops, such as cowpeas or velvet
beans plowed under.
