do fairly well with > 1 -2 months of
favorable weather after planting in
the field, but they ought to have
more time to develop and mature pro
perly. So far as hardiness i8 con-
cenred, they are about the same as
the tomato.
When plants are received, all leaves
except a few small ones should be
pruned off, and the roots of plants
should be soaked In water until the
plant is full of water. This in indi
cated by the plant and leaf stems
getting stiff. It may require a few
hours, and it may require many hours
depending on condition of plants
when received. 1 use a transplanter.
If you have none, make holes in the
ground with a bricklayer's trowel or
other suitable instrument. Pour in
each hole enough water to wet the
ground. After water has soaked
away, put In the plant and pack soli
firmly around it, and then rake an
inch of loose soli on top around the
plant to hold moisture. Never trim
the vines after plants are set In the
field, as this will reduce the yield.
If the above instructions are pro
perly followed, the plants can be put
out into the field* when the sun is
shining, and none of them will wilt.
This applies to all kinds of plants
that I have tried. I have planted
cabbage in the hottest, driest weather
you can find in July, and they did
not wilt.
In the South sweet potatoes of
some varieties give a fair yield on
land too poor for corn or cotton, but
it Is best to plant them oil better
land. The average yield is less than
100 bushels per acre for the entire
United States. I sometimes get a
yield of more than 500 bushels per
acre of the eating varieties, and some
varieties that are suitable only for
stock feed give a higher yield than
this.

the eggs from being over-cooked.
