With the increased scale in both la bor and building material costs, and the apparent decrease in the South Carolina sweet potato crop resulting from unfavorable weather condi tions, especial attention should be given at this time to the. prepara tory harvesting and curing of this valuable crop. During the past ten years, South Carolina has had an an nual production of five and one-half million bushels, or an average of ninety-three bushels per acre, which would be a sufficient production for our human consumption were all of this harvest saved. However, our annual loss, result 'g from careless and improper methods in harvesting, curing andl storing, make only about sixty to raventy percent of this mini mum human food production needl a va ila ble. Indlications are that we shall have an early frost this fall, which will make it imperative that growvers be in readiness to care for their harv est as, regardless of the storage methods employed, the frost- injured potato will not keep in storage. Harvesting T1imne..-The time of harvesting should be regulated andl largely determinedl by the maturity cl the .rop and the (date of the first light frost, wvhich, in South Carolina, is the latter part of Oc tober, following which the crop should be carefully harvested andl storedl. Immature and frost- injured potatoes wvill not keep in storage, andl if the crop matures before the first light frost, it is not necessary to await the singeing of the foliage. Harvesting should be (lone, if pos sible, wvhen the weather is bright andl the soil dIry. A fter dligging, the potatoes should be allowed to dry in the sun as long as there are no indlications of injurious weather con ditions. Maturity Test.-Select a troot from a naverage vine of apparent maturity, break and expose the bro ken surface to the air, and if ma ture, the woundl should turn white and dIry within a few minutes. Guarding Against Frost Injury. Light frosting or singeing of the vines will (do no harm, but should an unexpected killing frost occur, if the ground is not dIry enough for digging, immediately cut the vines at the main stem of the plant and allow- them to remain as a mulch, its plans, but its decoration and land. scape setting as well, have been made according to the designs of the Gov.. ernment experts. It is up-to-date in in every detail, but strict economy has has been used in the plans. Beauty of line and material are to he found in this farm dwelling. So much care has been put on the floor plan and so many labor-saving <1evices have been built in that housekeeping in it will be easy. The house is built of lumber cut on the farm and it is lo. eated on a main thoroughfare, where a comfortable, well-planned, and pretty farm home can be a source of Iinsir'ation.
