This subject is full of interest for every one, and again we would say the- of ferings of the Short Course are open, not only to those who come especially for the course, but to all attending the summer school. This session the course in citizen ship will emphasize several phases of government. The women of the country are now giving aprticular at tention to legislation, both national and state. It is therefore well that they discuss in detail in this course the subject of congress and the state legislature, studying their organiza tion, the.ir methods and procedure, and the way in which we proceed in order to get our legislation passed. This would also include a discussion of the provisions of those bills which wo men's organizations throughout the country have endorsed, such as the Sheppard-Towner and the Smith Towner Bills. Further, women are turning their attention to matters of local govern ment, especially to city and town gov ernment, and they are considering thoughtfully the problems of munici pal housekeeping. This means that women must become familiar with the xisting form of government and learn iow that government may be im proved. The commission form and the City Manager plan will, very naturally then, be discussed in this :ourse. Whatever seems needed by the group of women gathered in class will loubtless be discussed. Certainly wo men, if they are to become vital fac tors for better conditions, must have i clear knowledge of what takes place within the "inner circle" of a party n order that they may successfully :.ombat and overcome any pernicious forces. This would mean that the group discuss local, state, and nation it committees, campaign funds, etc., And ways in which to successfully revent fraud at elections. %BOUT THE SWEET POTATO IN CLARENDON COUNTY Since we have been assured that ;here will be a plant for curing and storing your sweet potatoes in Mann ng and possibly other points in the :ounty next fall, I feel that I should tgain call attention to certain details -egarding this crop. Annially from ten to fifteen imil ions of bushels of sweet potatoes are ost due to diseases. Most of this big oss can be prevented. Since all bed ling was done sometime ago, I will ot at this time discuss the matter of ising disease free seed, treating the ;eed and so on. But I (o wish, again .o emphasize the matter of using ines for planting. It has been found )y the commercial growers that the line cuttings usually produce more narketabie potatoes per acre, and they are more likely to be free from lisease. I find that as a rule it is not )rofitable to put out your sweet po atoes too early. This gives them too ong a growing period and a big pelr -entage of the potatoes will grow en irely too large and often crack open. I'here is, therefore, plenty of time yet 'or planting this crop, in fact the best ime is yet to come. I find that the sweet potato is a rop that does well phadaed ion fairly hin land and liberally fertilized with conmnercial fertilizer. In fact, I pre er this to the very fertile soils or to he use of stable manures. An 8-3-3 ertilizer is very largely used for the ;weet potato crop, but I am convinced hat on our soils a fertilizer contain nig more potash than this would be )rofitable. An 8-:t-6 would probably lot be too high grade a fertilizer to iso profitably. As we know, root -rop)s are heavy users of potash. One ~an readily malke this fertilizer by tddmi g some form o fpotash to the ower grade mixture. I would advise closer lalnting thayp s the rule. Plants set from twelve o fourteen inches apart will average urning out more numb~er one pota oes than those given eighteen to w(ent y inches or space. .I will later in the season have some himg to say regarding the harvesting, ~radmbg and storing of this cr01p.
