=? + I CHERAW CHRONICLE, i t JOE LINDSAY, Editor ( \ Spread the News. t Elsewhere in ihe paper will be t /ound two articles urging farmers to plow under their cotton stalks as soon \ as the cotton i3 picked. Experience t has taught those who have be?n deal- f ing with the boll weevil that this will r ' help with next year's crop and far- f more in thie nnnntv cannot afford to f pasa up a single thing that will help t us next year. It is also urged that field? be thoroughly cleaned also ditch s banks, hedge rows, etc. e Now there will be many farmers g who will not heed the urging unless c approached personally so it is incum- { bent on every business man of every j line to impress on the farmer the im- t portance of heeding advice in the fight r on the Boll Weevil. Clemson College ^ is doing all that it can to help the ] farmers meet the ravages of the pest j but it needs the help of all business r iften to help them spread the news. s Do your bit. Read what they have ( to say and pass it on to the farmers Two Views of Whiskey. = I Col. Robert lngersoll was not a hard I drinker, but he liked the warming in- ( fluence of some good whiskey when he t could get it. He was making a lec- ( ture tour through the State of Ken- t tucky one time, and while down here ( he found a whole barrel of real ripe t old whiskey that just suited his taste, j and he had it shipped home to him- i self; and when he got home he said, j "Bob, this is too much whiskey for ] any'one man to have, so send some 1 of it to some of your friends." So t BoJ> sat down and made a list ol t friends to whom he might send some of his choice whiskey. Among*the list , was Dr. Buckley, a Methodist minis- , ter, an old school friend; Bob thought j he might like some of that good whi3-? . fcov cn ho rir Rucklev a eallon , jug and wrote a letter. s My Dear Buckley, ( I send you some of the most won- , derful whiskey that ever drove a ] skeleton from a feast or painted landscapes in the brain of man. ? It is the mingled souls of wheat and | corn. I In it you will find the sunshine and ( the shadow that chased each other over billowy fields.

Your friend, i ROBERT G. 1XGERSOLL. I Dr. Buckley got his jug of whiskey, I looked it over, and without even re- 1 moving the cork to see what a beaVtl- ' ful bunch of joy he had, shipped it back with the following letter: My Dear Bob: i I return to you some of the most i beautiful whiskey that ever brought a i skeleton into the closet or painted < .. 1 1 V, 1 3,1 3 : ? iU a i dircues ur IUM ciiiu uiuuu&iicu 111 Lite J brain of man.

Clemson College, Oct. 3.?The oldinie method of harvesting sweet poatoes consists in using single plows, -the common turning plows. These vere used to drag off the vines and 0 plow up the potatoes by making our furrows to a row. By this nethod, the horse, the plow and the tlowman trampled over the potatoes ive times each before they were even aken off the ground. The potatoes were then picked up ind thrown into a "heap row," (very fourth or fifth row being called 1 "heap row." This "hilling" caused :onsiderable bumping and additional joxes, baskets, barrels and wagons todies were used to assemble the polities, which were handled very oughly in being put into the bank3 vhere they were kept. One can readiy see that by this method of handing", each potato receives the maxlnum number of cuts, scars, bruises, 1 ?i u-uuiiis, mjuiiea, lucwiiaiiiuai auu )therwise. The Proper Method of Handling; The proper method of harvesting iweet potatoes consists of using large )lows. A large pony plow or John ->eer or Avery Twister, with cutting :oulter attached to a beam for cuting vines, may be used for barring >ff potatoes. This will leave a balk en or fourteen inches wide and will ^over up the vines and leave them in he ground to add humus to the land. big two-horse middle buster or a r.odified middle buster or a sweet )otato digger may then be used [ breaking this balk. This *plow, if <ept deep in the ground, lifts the poatoes out of the ground without cuting, scarring or bruising them. If a "heap row" is used in picking ;p the potatoes, they should be scatered along and not piled in hills. Bach potato should hit the ground ind not hit any other potato or rick >r chunk of anything that will cause jerious injury to it. The importance >r careful handling can't he over ?mphasized if loss from injury is to c avoided. Where it is possible, potatoes nmld be graded in thj field; if not :hey should be handled with the : res test of care and carried to a ^ tato shed and there graded. Sweet potatoes should be harvested vhen they are ripe no matter vhether that be the middle of August or the middle of September or afcr. But it is better to harvest hern immature than to let frost fall ui them. An immature potato can :>e saved more easily than can a frost. I >itten potato. If the ground is tool wet and a frost falls, the vines should be cut loose immediately, rhe potatoes can be dug safely sometime later. ing $3.00 to $3.75 per barrell September 16 on New York Market. Number 1 yellow varieties packed in bushel hampers and from New Jersey were bringing $1.50 to $2.00 on New ^ork market September 16. Several cars of early sweet potatoes bave moved from this state to market already, but the majority of growers in this state expect to store and sell their potatoes later in the season from the storage houses. 1.50 gets The Chronicle one year. .

October 1st The cotton market advanced this week when it was discovered that Japanese interests were stopping October notices in New York and shipping the cotton abroad. More than 50,000 bales were reported taken up by the Japs in New York alone, and they probably got a good supply at New Orleans and other Southern points. The other Bullish news this week was: A better demand for dry goods both in American and English mar. kets. An unfavorable weather report on Wednesday. Exports from August 1st to date amount to 848,496 bales against only 428,006 last year, or an increase of more than 100 per cent. A Chi< a Thu Dr. SchalDj Fixo Corn i ttrjJor itnsiti'Vt corni.

Hundreds of thousands PEI Qj There has been a great deal of profit-taking during the past day or two by those who wished to even up until after the Bureau Report on Monday, October 3rd. Much cotton was sold at from 20 l-2c to 21 l-2c, but sales will probably be smaller from this time forward unless there is a further advance in price. Owners of cotton are unwilling to part with their lots at figures below 20c in the interior. Private estimates of condition average 40.0 to 40.5. If the Government's estimate is below 40.0 no doubt the market will advance. Should the official figures be above 40, the market may hang around the 20c level for the present. o Send your printing to the Chronicle office. caeo foot i o t our stor rsday, Cdtober Or.
