Quite a number of farmers do not intend to harvest their potatoes until a killing frost bites the vines. This method has been practiced for years and years by old people, and this one injury has cost South Carolina thousands of bush els of potatoes. If possible sweet po tatoes should be harvested before frost falls. Whenever frost injures the vine it causes the sap to become soured. This sap returning to the po tato causes the potato to become sour ed ,thus causing rot. I have examined several fields of potatoes lately and find it advisable to dig. To determine the time of harvesting the potato a good rule to follow is by breaking off She was a noWe woman, possessing a the end of potato and if the sap> of seven pounds to the 100 bushels. Put g^pin in a closed container and put the^carbon bisulphide in a small container on top of the grain. The material evaporating forms a gas that goes downward and kills the weevils, provided you cover the container wfith sacks, or some material to hold the gas to keep it from escaping. Let the se^d be covered for 24 to 36 hours and uncover and air for same period of! time and there will be no taste or smell by the use of the material. Therefore it is not poisonous to use on wheat that is to be used for bread purposes. LOOK! LOOK! Ladies Home Journal, $1.00 per year, or 2 years for $1.80. Country Gentleman, 3 years for $1.00.

PRESBYTERY IN SESSION HERE is best to harvest potatoes before kill ing frost, for in every field of potatoes there is bound to be some potatoes here and there sticking above the earth. These potatoes will also be frost bitten and will cause rotting when stored in the storage bin. Several days ago I was at the home of E. P.
