Columbia.?The proper storage of j sweet potatoes is one of the most important food conservation meiL3ures that can be put into effect in South "Carolina, and is urged by the Food < Administration. No perishable pro- j duct grown in this State is more im-1 portant than the sweet potato, and ' none, as a rule, is so poorly handled ! according to United States Depart*I ment of Agriculture experts. To keep this crop in gapd condition th? pota- j toes must be well matured before dig-i ging, carefully handled, well dried, or i cured, alter being put in the storage | house, and kept at uniform tempera- j ture after they are cured. The only j safe and practical method of storing! sweet potatoes is in a well "built stor-1 age house. , Suggestions on storing sweet pota-: toes, and detailed information on how j to construct a suitable storage house, j are contained in Farmers' Bulletin j 970, recently published by the United | States Department of Agriculture, and j a copy of this bulletin may be had by j any interested person who will write ; the Dfinartment at Washington and ! make request for it Proper storage of sweet potatoes> after they have been grown is equal- j ly as important as making the pota-: toes. It is tfood economy to build a! substantial place for keeping the j product, for then the chances of loss! are greatly reduced, and a storage j house will soon pay for itself. There j is no food to be -wasted these days,! and no one should take any chances j of loss which can be avoided, says the; Food Administration. NEW WHEAT RULES ABE NOW IN EFFECT Columbia.?New rules governing the ' BoIa r\9 rrrV?an f afPnofitrA Daic VI Tf UV'UW 11V/U1 ) guWV/l/ATb ber 1, h?.ve been promulgated by the Fcod Administration. j Retailers are required to sell at the same time with every four pounds of standard wheat flour one pound of standard corn flour, corn meal, corn flour, op barley flour. No dealer may force upon th6 consumer any other substitute tfean the ; above with w^oat Sour. Instead of. the above substitutes, j the dealer may, if customer so de- J mands, deliver on -he same basis any of the following flcu?s: Kaffir flour.; rice flour, bean flour, oat flour, mile flour, potato flour, buckwheat flour, fntarita flour, neanut flour, sweet do tato flour. Pure rye flour or meal may be sold as a substitute but must be sold in the proportion of at least two pounds of rye with three pounds of wheat flour. Corn meal for use in making corn bread should be purchased separately from combination sales. Corn meal purchased as a substitute with wheat flour should only be used In making "Victory bread mixture. Victory Mixed Flour mary be sold without additional substitutes as it is wheat flour which has mixed with it the required amount of barley, corn or rye flour substitutes. Victory Mixed Plour includes Graham, whole wheat or entire wheat flour or meal when It contains 95 per cent or more of tfce wheat berry. The necessity for conservation of wheat flour continues, and all housekeepers are requested by the Food Administration to use such wheat j flour as is required carefully and con-! aeryatively. WEIGHT OF BAGGING AND TIES IS NOT TO BE CHARGED FOR. Columbia.?has come to the atten- j tion of the Kood Administration that j some of the ginners are charging on ; weights which include the weight of bagging and ties. The ginning prices ! recently announced by the Food Ad- j ministration were for net lint cotton, j Bagging and ties weight 25 pounds to the bale. Therefore, ginners must not charge in excess of $2.50 per "bale, for , ginning, unless the weight of the bale, J including bagging and ties, is more J than 525 pounds'. For the excess over i that weight, at the rate of 70 cents ! per 100 pounds of lint cotton is th? ! proper charge. 1 TIME TO PREPARE FOR INCREASED WHEAT ACREAGE. dumbia.?The world cry is for j bread. Wheat Is as necessary as bul- ; lets. The world situation calls for and ' demands an increase in the acreage j planted in wheat for 1919. Now is the ; time to begifi planning for next year's program. Farmers should select tl*3 land to be planted to wheat, and thoroughly ' prepare the seed bed. The yield per j acre is as important as the acreage, j hence the importance of selecting the I i.'.rm land best adapted to wheat and the procuring of good sped free from -s; "nil n-aoH All seed aiiu nv/uu , f*us].?erted of having smut should be treated to insure against loss from this trouble.

At this time, when our men are so bravely fighting for right and that the women of America may never feel the scourge of the Hun, when many are falling in camp os this epidemic rages, will you fail your brother? No! The women have stood behind our men in every task; they have not failed them and they will not fail them now. -But let us awaken! Time is flying! Had we aroused ourselves at the beginning of this campaign, would South Carolina have furnished to date only 29 applicants, when her quota is 210? No! Would she be so sadly in need of nurses now as influenza sweeps the State? No! i^very day sees the greater needs in France. Our government is sending the registered nurses, the graduates, the best trained in our land. What we need now is the student nurse, that she may be trained to fill the places made vacant by those already in the service. This service calls for the best that our womanhood can give? that our home defense may not be weakened. The women of England and France have responded nobly. American women will not fall short. Nor will the women of South Caro lina. Let Is Back Him Up. The county chairmen are urged ti be active in recruiting women between the ages of 19 and 35. Give the appeal publicity.

The duty of measuring ships' performances, with their tasks, is lodged with the planning and statistics division of the shipping board, headed by E. H. Gay, formerly dean of the Harvard Graduate School of business. Obviously the division must know the tasks in detail, and so it co-ordinates with the war industries and war trade boards in determining and providing for the country's needs from abroad. It works on month to month schedules, or as far in advance as it is feasible or possible to forecast Works With All Departments. In Dlanninsr the use of ships the dl vision works with the food administration in determining the shipping requirements for food; with the war department in correlating shipping witl^ the requirements of the line of supplies for the western front; with the war industries board In seeking solution of the problem ^)f bringing necessary raw imports into the country, and with the war trade board in preparing the lists of essential imports and exports. As the country has gone more and more on a war basis, it has Deen regarded necessary to limit the list of essential imports to less than 100. Data on the ships and their trade provide the basis for operation of the vessels under the shipping board's control. Likewise records are kept of neutral vessels coming to this country or linking up with its foreign trade. Thus the division checks daily about 7,000 vessels, 1,500 of them being those of the shipping board, 3,000 engaged directly in American commerce and O PAA AAnf+AWA/1 AtTAft fVlA orl rtho Qfld SCilllClCU UTC1 U1V ftivuv ? v. trading for the most part with the allies or their colonies. Roughly, onefourth of the merchant ships of the world are watched by the shipping board.* Charts for Each Ship. Ship performances against tasks are recorded by "progress charts," which show at a glance what the vessels have f?n nnH hnw thev are doine it. Each set of charts is divided into ten divisions?one each for movements of vessels, turn-arounds, ships' charts of commodities, individmn commodity charts, summary of imports, individual trades, summary of trades, ship charts of exports, performances in ports and dock performances. Copies are distributed every ten days to governments which require constant information about the movement of supplies. By these movement charts any in formation regarding locations and movements of vessels Is accessible, and from past performances one may forecast the time of future voyages* The summary on shipping and trade, prepared every ten days for the war industries and war trade boards and the food administration, helps shape the larger policies underlying the nse of American ships in war time. The chants tell whether the shfps allocated to a certain trade are enough, too many or too few; whether they bring In too little or too mnch; whether they are on time, ahead of time or behind tira^ and whether the trade movement is too slow, too fast or just right. The charts also serve to guide the ship control committee in the assignment of vessels to various trades. By comparing Import requirements against deliveries the charts show when vessels may be transferred from one trade to another or released to the army. * l Aweon is at tb^ Hallman ' ? - - vt the new bank 'buildv-ill ?>e pleased to see as customers.
