NOTICE OF SALE Notice is hereby given that under and by virtue of an order of the Farmers who are looking for a new "cash" crop might try sweet po tatoes, says H. R. Niswonger, Exten sion horticulturist of N. C. State Col lege. He says tnat North Carolina yams are gaining in popularity on Eastern markets. The varieties of sweet potatoes in biggest demand are the Porto Kicos," either the N. C. Strain 1 or the Louis iana strain. Other varieties, such as the Nancy Hall and the Jersey type, have limited demand on some mar kets. Niswonger says the best type of soil for growing sweet potatoes is sandy or sandy loam. "Heavy soils and dark soils?especially rich gar den soils and places where manure has been used heavily?produce poor quality potatoes," the horticulturist advised. "Also, soils where legumes have been turned under have a ten dency to produce oversize, discolored and cracked potatoes. Such land should be planted to corn or cotton for a year or two, and the nitrogen in the fertilizer reduced." It is very important to use seed that are free from disease, Niswon ger declared. It is always best to use certified seed, or certified slips that have been produced preferably by a grower who has been practic ing hill seed selection. Only medium sized seed should be bedded. The Extension specialist says information about the source of certified seed or certified sprouts can be obtained from county farm agents, or by writ ing direct to the N C. Crop Improve ment Association, N. C. State Col lege, Raleigh. Other recommendations by the horticulturist include: Treat the Seed before bedding. It requires five to six bushels of seed to set one acre. Use plants from vine cuttings.
