Sweet Potatoes 
CuLTuRE. Don’t wait for a rain or a 
“season”? to set out Sweet Potato plants. 
Harrow your ground well before laying it off, 
then throw up the ridges higher than you 
want them, and if the soil is very dry, allow 
2 or 3 days for the moisture to rise. Then 
knock off the top of the ridge just ahead of 
planting; make a mud batter with water and 
clay loam, or better, with the addition of 
fresh cow-dung, about as thick as cream; 
dip the plants, in hands of about 20, into 
this, so that mud clings to them.
