As a crop of this kind the sweet potato is yearly becoming ct*greater importance throughout the South. Within the last ten years the value of this crop has increased 80 per cent, and with better methods of storing and marketing it is estimated that even this increased value could be doubled. Such improved methods, moreover, should make it possible for the south- , em family to store sweet potatoes for its own use throughout the entire year, and this, indeed, is a matter of prime importance to the housewife. It) other sections of the country the Irish potato forms an important part of the meal three times a day; in the South climatic conditions have made this im- i practicable and some other substitute has to be found. Hitherto there have been difficulties in the way of using 1 sweet potatoes for this purpose, but now that the problems in connection with their storage have been solved I these difficulties are to a great meas- , , - 1^? paper i p ripx i hM Ii 55 hLJJ / | ' ' ' -Vf - I i' ," I i Qi Aejuowb/e /b/se I ; SM/O j -* UHs m\\\s - ..

In a new Farmers' Bulletin No. 548 published by the United States department of agriculture under the title of "Storing and Marketing Sweet Potatoes, ' an account will be found of the latest discoveries in this field Sweet potatoes have always been abundant enough in the South. The difficulty has been to distribute the supply throughout the year. Growers have either rushed them out for sale at digging time, flooding the market with ungraded, badly packed, and unattractive stock or else stored them in , outdoor pits or banks where a large , portion decayed The result has been the loss of a large percentage of the crop and low prices for that portion , which did reach the market.

To keep sweet pota- , toes in good condition they must be well matured before digging, carofully handled, well dried or cured, and kept at a uniform temperature after they are cured. The storage house is designed to make possible the last two requirements. Detailed plans for the construction of such storage houses will be found in Farmers' Bulletin No. 648 which has been already man* tloned. On many farms in the South buildings such as abandoned tenant houses, which with a few alterations, could be used for this purpose, are already in existence. The cost of the necessary alterations or of erecting a new house, varies, of course, too much with local conditions to be stated with any accuracy, but in general It is thought the outlay need not be very heavy. f? uvu VUO |AiVOWUUD at D HI Dl DIUI CU In these houses a temperature of 80 degrees to 80 degrees Fahrenheit with plenty of ventilation Is maintained for froir ten days to two weeks In order to drive off the moisture.

Although this may seem ! to involve considerable expense, it has ! been calculated that for a well-built house, one good stove will provide heat enough to cure frbm ten thousand 10 twenty-five thousand bushels of potatoes. By careful storage in this way growers will find it possible to put their product on the murket when the deni.'.nd is at the greatest, usuallj' from the middle of December to the middle of March. Careful grading and packing will lessen loss from decay and secure better prices in fact, to quote from the bulletin already mentioned, "With the growing demand for sweet i potatoes there is every inducement for the southern farmer to adopt better methods for growing and marketing so as to make the sweet potato a more important money crop." It is as a < money crop that the southern farmer should regard the sweet potato. A few early plants, however, should find a < place in his home garden for home consumption. Even, moreover, if it iB not aesirea to grow sweet potatoes on a commercial scale, by a little attention to the principles of storage which have already been discussed, the farmer will find it quite easy to keep a sufficient supply in good condition throughout the year for the UBe of his own family. ( Group of App j One may see in this group of sailors l the progression in width of brim as the ( style becomes more summery in com- 1 position and suggestion. Under thiu title of sallorB, it seems, about seven- i tenths of the season's shapes mav be I classed. A flat brim of uniform width i leaves us in no doubt, but then there . arc rolling brimmed sailors, too. Hut < these sailors shown in the picture are 1 selections to which the milliner points i with a pride that is well justified? t while she turns her attention to roak- 1 log new ones with increasing width of brim with which to greet the advancing summer. At the right a pretty hemp hat Is pictured. It Is a soft-appearing, pressed shape with slightly Indented ] crown, In battleship gray. Two bands '< of velvet ribbon, nnanuitl In width In a fairly strong blue color, encircle the i crown. Fbur ornaments are set over these bands. They are made of suede kid stretohed over a supporting foun- < dation.

Sudan grass should bo cut for hay us Boon as the plants aro fully headed. Immediate cutting is recommended by the Texas experiment station, as this will insure more cuttings a season. ITnrinr fnir wrnthnr conditions it can be treated just like prairie bay or timoth>?cut In the morning and hauled Into the barn or Btacked that afternoon. The speed with which the hay dries out depends entirely upon the weather and the thickness of the Btalks at tlmo of cutting. ? Sudan grass in a properly drilled row should not make a stalk thicker than a lead pencil, and it is preferable if it be seeded thicker to make an even thinner stalk. The thinner the Btalk, * the more readily it cures and the more tender and palatable the hay. The writer saw Sudan grass broadcasted at the rate of 20 pounds an acre, yielding almost two tons of finest quality hay at each cutting. As quickly as a crop was cut the roots would send up new, vigorous growth, wblQh could be cut for hay or bo pastured. ~ .? If the crop Ib cut for seed, It is best to let the pods mature well, the first crop being the best. The grass may be harvested with a wheat binder or with a mower. Tho seed does not shatter badly when raked with a horss rake. If planted in cultivated rows it can bo cut with acorn harvester. How ever, it is best to harvest the crop for seed in bundles, so it can bo more easily threshed. At present, with a large demand for Sudan grass throughout tho country, the price of seed is quoted at an average of ono dollar a pound. With an Increased acreage of the crop next year a large decline in price of seed is looked for. About ten bushels of seed an acre Is an average yield. The seed weighs 32 pounds to a bushel. The yield of hay varies chiefly with tho extent of rainfall or available moisture In the ground. At the Texas experiment station the writer learned that four crops were harvested a year with an average of a ton or more a cutting. After the first cutting, about thirty days elapsed before the second crop was ready to harvest. Liking for Hogs. The man who acres for hogs should have a liking for them. Exercise for Sows.

The narrow ribbons, usually of vel"' vet, or with crosswise cord, or In rather heavy grosgraln with a picot edge, are sometimes drawn around the waist and knotted in a little bow and short ends, or in long loops and very long ends in tk* back; bet they are more often used to finish or trim some other girdle arrangement, or to give 1, the effect of girdle lines without the reality. 4 Warm Evening Wraps.
