HOTBED FOR SWEET POTATOES. 



Please tell me how to make a hotbed 

 for sweet potato plants. I am going 

 into business in southeastern Kansas 

 and I expect you will be troubled quite 

 frequently with letters of inquiry, as 

 I have not been in touch with any of 

 the work for eight years. C. B. G. 



To make a hotbed for sweet pota- 

 toes, take good, fresh, hot stable man- 

 ure and make a flat pile about eighteen 

 inches deep and about eighteen inches 

 wider on each side than the frame you 

 are to place on the pile, on which to 

 lay the s;ish. See that the manure is 

 well shaken out if lumpy, and then 

 smootheil over and packed down firmly 

 and evenly. Then take the frame and 

 place it tui top of the manure and put 

 two or three inches of loose, sandy soil 

 on top of the manure, inside the frame. 

 It, will heat violently for a few days 

 and then gradually cool down. After 

 two or three days you can place the 

 sweet potatoes on this, as close to- 

 gether as they can be without touch- 

 ing, so as to permit the sandy soil to 

 go down between them. They may then 

 be covered over about an inch deep 

 with soil that is about half sand and 

 not lumpy. Water them; then level off 

 after the soil settles and put the sash 

 back on top of the frame. They will 

 need watering frequently and a little 

 ventilation every day if the sun shines. 

 They will quickly sprout and be ready 

 to pull and sell. 



When pulling, hold the potatoes 

 down with one hand and pull gently 

 with the other, catching hold down at 

 the surface of the soil. Wrap them in 

 bunches with moss, like rooted cut- 

 tings, and tie them up in papers with 

 the tops exposed. The potatoes will 

 keep on making plants for many 

 weeks, if carefully handled. 



The frame should be tall enough to 

 allow the plants to grow six or eight 

 inches before touching the glass. A
