Sweet potatoes are a heat-loving
plant, and cannot withstand cool

up In ridges about 4 feet apart. The

Sweet potatoes thrive best In a

throughout It Is a good plan to open
furrows where the row Is to be, fill
these furrows with manure and turn
the soil back on top of the manure.
Thia should be thoroughly mixed with
a shovel plow or cultivator, as too
much manure in one spot under the
hole will produce a large growth of
vines at the expense of the potatoes.
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. Department of Agri
