CHERAW CHRONICLE,

\
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-? .

My Dear Buckley, (
I send you some of the most won- ,

skeleton from a feast or painted landscapes

HARVESTING SWEET POTATOES
)ld Methods Wasteful. New Methods
Cause Minimum Loss.
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,

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

should be cut loose immediately,

Several cars of early sweet potatoes

in this state expect to store and sell
their potatoes later in the season

WEEKLY COTTON LETTER.
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.

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.
