CAN SELL POTATOES WHEN QUALITY IS GOOD Raleigh, X. C., April 24. ? Swccij potatoes of good quality usually! find a ready sale and it is just sis costly to producc the j?oor quality j roots as it is to grow something that j the market desires. "If more of our growers of sweet! potatoes would avoid planting the ? crop in the loamy heavy soils and j use the sandier soils, ifre would pro- ' duco a hotter quality of product," says Dr. R. F. Poole, of the depart- : niont of plant pathology at State. College. "By quality, we mean mi i- ' form shape, size and freedom from disease. Few of our growers, give any thought to the fertilizer used under ]>otatoes. In most instances, too much nitrogen and too little potash is used. The same mixtures! bought for fertilizing cotton, corn and tobacco arc used for potatoes j and they :>re associated with a num-j bcr of important diseases of the crop, I in addition to causing large, long, cracked potatoes of irregular sizes j and shapes." But those conditions; can be cor rected, states Dr. Poole, and should j be if the sweet potato crop of the South is to be of marketable value. At the present time,^the low price on .southern grown jwtatoes is due largely to irregular market quality. This will be improved only when less, nitrogen and more potath is usedj and when the diseases affecting thoj roots are fought intelligently. Dr. Poole recentlv addressed at # gathering of sweet potato growers j near Apex in Wake County where: he complimented them on the work1 done in removing the surplus of the i [ crop this firing. He stated that the roil of that section is well adapted to sweet potato growing, yet, the i growers wr-uld not secure the best prices until they began using morel * J* ONION FLAVOR RUINS MILK AND BUTTER Raleigh, N. C., April 24. ? There is little sale lor milk bearing tne aroma of the wild onion and when butter lias this flavor, it i?i next to impossible to eat it. "Yet we have the wild onion with ns in many of our best pastures," says John A. A icy, :!airy extension spcciali.-t (it Sta|e 'College. "This pest is one or the first plants to ap jK-ar in the .spring and is also a vis itor in late fall. Fortunately during the summer months, the plants die down and thus give 110 trouble. On ion flavor makes milk practically un salable and the biitt6r made from cream with this flavor is usually sold to a renovating plant at a very low price. " ' This loss is always handed down from the creamery to the milk pro ducer since the price that a cream ery p iv#> for buttcrfat is determined \ ' . I by the price it receives for butter. It is important, therefore, to keep this flavor out of the milk, states Mr. Ai'ey. One of the best methods of doing this is to take the cows off of the infested pasture at least six hours, before it is time to milk. Place them in the lot or barn and give them *a -heavy feeding of some dry roughage. Mr. Arey states that tests made with the herd of dairy cows owned by the North Carolina Experiment Station have shown this to be an effective way of ridding milk of on ion flavor. The tests further show that this plan should not cauae any potash in their fertilizer mixtures and had taken steps to control the scurf disease. For southern-grown potatoes to bring fancy prices, they must be uni form in size and shape, (free from disease and well packed, he said, I /HOLD ROANE KITES f " AT WHITTEBR ?
