t ? - SELECT
SEED SWEET POTATOES
From time to time we have issued
. letters regarding the erection of storage
houses for the sweet potato, and
have endeavored to show the impo/tance
of proper handling of this important
Southern crop. We will deal
in this letter with the selection of
seed to increase the yield and reduce
the loss due to diseases by seed se_
lection.
Potatoes are an important food
crop and are surpassed in value oiriy
by corn in this respect. There is no
. food crop of the United States that
suffers so great u loss relative to its
value as the sweet potato, whim suffers
an .annual loss of at least 50 per
cent of its yield.
There are several ways to reduce
this loss, and one of the most important
ways is by fail seed selection.
Seed potatoes should be selected from
fields planted with vine cuttings, as
potatoes grown from cuttings are usually
free from disease. Go over your
field and carefully pick the plant^,
which show the qualities that are*
most desirable. Before digging examine
the main stem just above the po.
Btatoes to see that it is not blackened
Inside by stem-rot, and discard any
suspicious hills.
Black-rot, another very destructive
disease, may be fouqd on the
.Vines just above the soil line and i
downward, causing a black rotted ap- i
pearance of the afflicted stem. On
the potato it appears as black cir- i
cular spots, and it rapidly Increases
in storage. Only those potatoes that ;
show no signs of diseases, are smooth i
well formed, and are form productive
plants should be stored for seed.
These selected potatoes should be
carefully handled, placed in small '
baskets or crates and stored in a well
ventilated place as iur awuj nvm w.*. other
potatoes as possible.
Next spring before bedding these
should be reinspected and all diseased
or doubtful potatoes discarded and i
the remaining ones disinfected with :
4t corrosive sublimate solution (1 part ]
?, of corrosive sublimate tolOOO parts 1
of water) for about 20 minutes, ]
rinsed in water, and then dried or <
bedded at once.

Columbia, Oct. 6?The members of '

convenes on the second Tuesday in
January, 1920, to go on record on the
question. Preliminary to the session,
however, county organizations of
suffragettes will be built up in the
forty-six counties of the State to do j
missionary work among the members.
Every, influence will be brought to
bear to have the amendment ratified,
llatificd by Seventeeen.

presidential election in 1920. Seventeen
States have ratified the amend,
inent the suffragette headquarters
here stated, and it is a foregone conclusion
that* it wijl have a sufficient
number of States in line to secure
Its adoption. However, they claim
that they do not want their own State
South Carolina, which has stood unswervingly
behind the Democratic
party, to go on record as saying its
women are not capable of handling
the ballot.
Equal suffrage agitation has been
going on in South Carolina for a
number of years and has gained considerable
headway during the?past
few years. The suffragettes made a
flight in the General Assembly in
1917 to test the views of the masculine
voters of the State. A. joint resolution
providing for a referendum
on a constitutional amendment pro_
viding for equal suffrage was introduced
in the House by Representative
Horton of Spartanburg and in' the
Senate by Senator Shearer of Anderson.
It came to a vote in the Senate
but did not get the required twothirds
majority. The vote was 24 in
favor and 19 against, five votes below
that necessary for passage. The
Horton companion resolution remained
on the calendar of the House un_
til 1918 when it was withdrawn. A
iVditical Straw Noted.
In discussing the fight the suffragettes
are going to make for ratification.,
Mrs. W. C. Cathccrt, of Columbia,
South Carolina member of the
woman's division of the National
Democratic Executive Committee, tolay
said:
"A political straw that shows the
way the wind is blowing is the ac_
Lion of the executive committee of the
National Democratic Party in maping
3ut an aggressive campaign to round
up the women's votes for the 1920
elections, which formed the major
part of the proceedings of the meeting
of the executivje committee at
Atlantic City on September 27.
"The committee reaffirmed its position
in favor of the passage of the
federal suffrage amendment by the
idoption of a re solution introduced
ay John T. Barnett, of Colorado."
