Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sweet Potatoes: Culture and Uses To secure the sets for transplanting, the eyes or buds on the Sweet potato must be sprouted. For this purpose considerable heat is required, and germination takes place in especially prepared open beds, in cold frames, or in hotbeds, the kind of bed used depending on the climate and on the degree of forcing desired. For an early crop, bottom heat is desirable. This is provided either by the fermentation of manure or by flue heat from a small furnace, the former method being most fre quently employed. The latter method, however, permits of a more complete regulation of the amount of heat, and has other advantages which recommend it to those who cultivate the Sweet potato on a large scale for market. For the sweet-potato-plant bed select a location somewhat protected on the north Side. Build an ordinary plank cold frame 6 feet wide and of any length desired, facing toward the south and having its north wall several inches higher than its south wall. On the outside bank dirt against the frame and protect the bed against drainage water by a Shallow drain around the outside. Protect the bed against moles by means of a drain or by planking the frame below the surface of the ground. Within the frame remove the earth to a depth of 2 to 12 inches; spread a thin layer of leaves or litter on the bottom of this excavation, to assist in draining the bed and to retain the heat. Then on this lit ter place a layer of manure 2 to 12 inches thick, the thickness of the layer depending on the amount of heat required. Level and pack the manure and on it place a layer of sand or soil 17} to 3 inches thick. On this place the sweet potatoes in a horizontal position, not touching each other. If large roots are used they may be Split lengthwise, placing the cut surface downward. Cover with sand, soil, or fine woods earth until the upper Side of the sweet potato is covered at least 1 inch deep, or better 2 to 3 inches deep. After the Sweet potatoes are covered the upper surface of the earth within the frame will be either on a level with the ground outside or 1 to 6 inches above the level of the surrounding soil, according to the depth of excavation made in starting the bed. A bed with its sur face considerably higher than the surrounding Soil is better drained, but is liable to suffer from drought or to require more watering than a lower bed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Lecture on Sweet Potatoes: Culture and Storage The sweet potato has become one of the very important food crops of the United States and the acreage devoted to it could be greatly increased without reducing the unit value of the crop. There are thousands of farmers in the South who do not have a constant supply of good potatoes throughout the year, and very few of the small cities and towns of this terri tory have a continuous or suitable supply. Very few of the small cities of the West and Middle West have a supply of potatoes except during a few weeks in autumn.

This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dry Rot of Sweet Potatoes Caused by Diaporthe Batatatis Halsted did not regard the disease as serious at that time, which probably explains why he did little or no more work with it. During the 22 years which have elapsed since this disease was first dis covered and described, no additional work has been done with it. It is believed by the writers, after a thorough study of this disease, that. The economic importance of the drv - rot has been obscured by two very serious and prevalent diseases - the stem-rot and the black-rot. It has been further obscured by the fact that there are no external evidences of the organism in the field, it being detected only on the dead vines in the field or on the roots in the storage house a month or more after the cr0p is harvested. In view of these facts, injury which has been occasioned by the dry-rot organism is frequently attributed to other diseases, such as stem-rot or even to drying up due to natural causes.

The conclusions arrived at by the Commissioners and myself respectively, were at variance, and as Dr. Lindley endeavoured, in the Gardeners' Chronicle, to support the Commissioners' views, and to dispa rage those I entertained, by statements which seemed to me to be opposed to well-established facts, I forwarded two other letters to the Herald, seeing no other means of arriving at a more truthful view of the whole case, than by bring ing forward additional facts, and courting a more searching inquiry. Dr. Lindley did not reply in the Herald, but he published two articles in the Gardeners' Chronicle, the object of which was to show that my explanation of the cause of the malady was not well-founded.
