It cannot be suc- cessfully grown In the extreme north ern sections of the country. The plants are started in hotbeds by bed ding potatoes in sand and allowing them to sprout. The plants are brok en off the parent potato as soon as they have formed a few leaves and a root system of their own, and as soon as the ground In the open is well warmed up.

Sweet potatoes may be dug at any time after they become large enough to use, but improve in quality as they approach maturity. They should be dug as soon as the vines are killed by frost.—U. S.
