If a killing frost should occur bei>re
the potatoes are harvested, cut
he vines from the potato at once to '
irevent the frost from entering the
nbers. j
Hvery precaution should be used to !
revent potatoes from becoming
rubea'or cut. A large turn plow or j
liuule buster is the best plow most
f us have for the purpose. Pick up
he potatoes and lay them down. !
Don't throw them about from place i

re lost by growers from careless
andling than from all other causes.
Grading
If intended for the market all poatoes
should bo carefully graded in |

The State.
Rice growing above Columbia ]>ersi*:.-;
here and there io an extent not
.generally known. Time was when
many Piedmont farmers grew all the
rice they needed for the home table
and for their laborers. A center of
upland rice cultivation was Pendleton,
nerh:.ps because in and.about
that village resided in summer many
rice planters of the low country; and
the world's record yield of rice to the
acre is probably still held, some maintain,
by Anderson county. Newberry
county, upper Lexington and parts of
upper Richland are now the principal
seats ?>f riee culture north of the f.>11
line. i'

Dr. Fo;k, born at Pomaria, attend- <
ed WofTord college, received his pro- '
fes.-ional training1 at Charleston Med
ical college and was for 25 years act1
ing assistant surgeon in the United
States marine hospital service, with j
station at Georgetown, where he be- i
came familiar with rice planting processes.
He moved bach to Newberry
county in 1908 and in 1D3 9-20 was a*

and is a tireless experimentor with
promising plants and farm methods. :
Dr. Folk on Rice ^Growing
Dr. Folk writes The State in part j
.15 follows:
"Born in Newberry county, I spent |
2"> years in Georgetown, amulet the J
rice cultivation on North Santee. j
where the Lowndes, Manigault, Hazard,
Doar, Reed, Johnstone, Alston,!
and Lucas families, with many others
grew rice for market and heme consumption.
Healthier men, women and
children never lived than these, who
had rice for dinner daily,
"I learned there that rice couM be
grown to better advantage, at less expense
and with greater profit in upper
South Carolina than in Georgeiri
tVlP llTlfnunti'V COY
tian expenses, aggregating $20 to $30
the acre which were inseparable from
the low-country cultivation, would
not be incurred. These expenses included
maintenance of banks, ditches
and flood gates and the minding of
the rice at certain seasons against
blackbirds by day and ducks by night.
Xo such protection is required here in
Newberry or anywhere in upper Carolina
and the rice flourishes even in
Greenville or Oconee.
"There are both upland and water
flowed varieties. Upland rice, i-i my
opinion, can be grown profitably on
every farm where there is constant
moisture: near a branch, creeK or river,
suitable plots can be found which
are too wet for corn, boggy up dorfoot,
where rushes grow, with "" rinrand
willows. Thoroughly plow <>>
dig with the'hoe and pulverize without
a sod. Lay oft. March 10 to April
10. rows 19 inches wide and one-,
fourth inch m cp. Plant ten grains
to the hill, a hoe's width apart, covetlightly
