The question, therefore, as to whether or not such funds could be invested in war savings stamps would necessarily have to be determined in each case in accordance with the terms of the statute authorizing the issue of the bonds and the creation of the particular sinking fund. "I concur heartily with you in the proposition that all available idle funds, whether belonging to the public or to the individuals, should be placed at the disposal of the government, and in any case where public funds exist and bv the terms of the statute creating them are required to he invested or permitted to be invested, that no more patriotic duty could be performed nor more safe investment made than to invest such funds in these shorttime securities of the government." .Milk llottle Act.

I' is practically a sure crop and in vteM 5f the labor situation it is one of th< rery best crops that can be planted Kvery sweet potato that is grown ir his State is growing to help in the food fight to win the war. In addition potatoes in the present market con iitlons are a wonderfully profitabW :rop. At the request of the Chairman ol :he food production campaign in this State, Prof. George P. Hoffman has prepared a series of articles in con lection with the planting and gather ng of seed potatoes, and will be pub ished from time to time. The imme liate urgency is in securing seed stock or the satisfactory planting. The real ihortage of seed potatoes is perhape lot realizid. and those interested in he planting of seed potatoes should it once arrange to get their seed, 3rofessor Hoffman has this to say: "With an Increase of nearly three imes the normal selling price com inetl with a wanton loss of more than '5 per cent of South Carolna's nweel mtato crop of the past season, it ii ibvious that the necessary seed foi (lanting this year's crop will be fai nsufficiont Therefore, it is Impera ive that plant dealers and planters nake immediate provision for sup dying their needs. Disease-free seed ihould be bedded as soon as possible rhts shortage may be supplemented >y a large per cent through early dantings of small areas from which ater plantings may be n^ule by use >f vine cuttings. "The Nancy Hall and Porto Rico art" he leading and most popular varieties n this State, hut these varieties noi icing available, no time should he ost in obtaining disease-free seed ot ilants of other varieties. Every ef ort should he made for the planting if a sufficient area to supply home onsumption with a surplus for the oral markfit "The planters of South Carolina lave been asked to Increase by GO pei ent the crop of last year, which was '.GOO,000 bushels, produced on 80.00C teres. This necessary Increase maj >e easily obtained by tbe planting as i mi:.imum of one half acre per plow "From 8.000 to 10,000 plants wll! >e needed for planting one acre oi t.000 to 10.000 bushels of seed stock Small potatoes are equally as goo^ md will furnish a greater number ol ilants per given quantity than wll! be larger roots, therefore, planters ire advised to use the smaller pota .oes." TO THE SOLDIERS AT HOME. Tbe two most important thingH you can do just now to help win the war: Plant a Home Garden. Prepare to plant sweet potatoes The Value Of The Dollar The importance of raising foodituffs at home can not perhaps h< letter accentuated than hy quotin? igures prepared by Mr. Arthur L. Le< or the New Vork Times. The dollai in the day the war lirtike out as com lared with the dollar of today in pur basing capacity shows Just a littU nore than fifty-six per cent of it? ralue at that time. This means that he dollar the farmer derives fron lis crop buys for him just flfty-sii ;ents worth of corn, bacon, floir 01 food-stuffs as compared with the Rami lollar that he would have had In 1914 Aside from the patriotic duty ot Helping to raise food crops at home from a purely selfish standpoint thi man who can raise food-stuffs at homi might to realize that his dollar has i purchasing capacity today of unl; ftfty six cents an compared with th< ?ame dollar of 1914 Mr. Lee In hii article gives these graphic diagram: Indicating the reduced value of tin dollar. This applies as fully to every thing that is bought aa it does to food tuffs.
