9 I SWEET POTATOES: SEED SELECTION, BEDDING AND DISEASE CONTROL Furnished by J. C. Terrell There are three important factors in bedding sweet potatoes; namely, selection of seed, treating seed for disease spores, and care in preparation of plant bed. 'Proper consideration of these will do much towards controlling diseases and successful storage. Time for Bedding. In open ground: After the danger of frost (middle of March to first o' April), usually four to six weeks before transplanting time. In hotbed: Usually four to six weeks before danger of frost is over (lr.th to 20th of February.) Varieties. For storage: Porto Rico or Nancy Hall (A pure strain of the one locall most popular.) For green <jr early market: Triumph. Selection of Seed. 1. Use healthy uniform seed fror fall selection from the best yielding hilb of disease-free potatoes and of the desired type. 2. Split stems and examine for stem rot. If the stems are blackened inside, do not use for seed. 3. Throw out all potatoes with nearly round, sunken, black spots on the surface, or rotten ends. 4. Before bedding, go over seed potatoes again, and remove all showing diseased spots, rotted ends, o? bad wounds. Treatment of Seed 1. Immerse for 5 to 8 minutes ir a solution of formaldehyde (comT^ercial 40 Der cent.) made by dilut ing one quart formaldehyde in 50 gallons water. This solution may be uied repeatedly withofit losinr strength. 2. Corrosive sublimate, which may be used instead of formaldehyde, is very poisonous and must be handled in wooden vessels. Dissolve onr ounot corrosive sublimate in warm water, add eight gallons of water, and immerse potatoes for 10 irjinutes. 3. For a large quantity of potatoes make up 50 gallons of the solution. After treating 10 bushels, add one ounce corrosive sublimate and enough water to bring up to 50 gallons agair to keep up strength. Bed potatoes a once. Preparulion and Handling of Plant Bed, Potato plants are usually grown in open ground in this sta/te, but for early plants the hotbed is recommended. 1. Locate the bed in a southeastern txposure, with protection from wind preferred; easy reach of water: jrood drainage; and preferably r?w land. 2. Break land deep, scoop out 3 or 4 Inches of soil ratner than dig a dceo pit. Make bed rectangular, not over six feet wide, length to accomodate the seed bedded. Burning bed site, as in making tobacco beds, helps destroy weeds and sterilize soil. 3. Mix approximately half and half cottonseed and horse stable >manurr for hen* (15 bushels of cotton seed tc a plot 6' x 144'), and put down a layer ot 4 to 5 inches. Level pack, anU if dry sprinkle. Cover the mixture w'th 2 to 3 inches of sand. Allow thi to remain 24 to 36 hour' before bpdding to prevent potatoes overheating 4. Immediately after heating, bed potatoes ro as to be nearly touching. Cover with one inch of ssnd. then one inch layer of unpacked pine s4 and cover straw with 4 inches of sand. The straw prevents pulling patotaes out of ground when plants are pulled. 5. Bed three to four bushels for enough plants for each acre, or 10,000 to 14,000 plants. 6. Use light canvas, heavy muslin, or glass to protect plants from frost. 7. Pull plants often to encourage production. 8. "Water plants often to preven4 dryness, but do not keep bed soggy. Note. Plants should have 4 to inches of underground growth. BAD BACK TODAY Backache is usually kidney-ache and makes you dull, nervous and tired. Use Doan's Kidney Pills for weak kidneys?the remedy recommended by your friends and neighbors. Ask your neighbor? Mrs. C. F. Tillman, Third St., Ch^r.tw, says: "I had kidney complamt and a constant backache. Mornings I was so sore and lame I could hardly straighten ana my neaa acueu ami j had dizzy spells when my sigh became blurred. My kidneys acted irregularly and colds settled in my kidneys making them worse. 1 heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and got some at the Cheraw Drug Co. They soot cured me of all signs of the trouble so 1 am glad to give them my endorsement." I our Years Later, Mrs. Tillma 1 aciced: "I praise Doan's Kidney Pills now as 1 did in mv last statement. I think Doan's are fine." 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. no 6 o ??On March 27, 1922, at 11 o'clock! A.

I One of the permanent possession? of a human heart Is the memory o its great enthusiasms. You may hav come to disdain and even despiSv them, but they are never uprooted Then you reached your highest?and you know it When a noble ideal kindles sue' enthusiasm, that ideal becomes om of those things that without warn ing, at rare intervals, flares 1 And you sit in the light of the flan and ponder. Why did it fail? Not because it was not beautiful?righ ?desirable. Was it because you were not fit for beauty, righteousness, desirability ? Peoples are like men. They may lay aside their great hopes, but tc the end there are hours when they sit with them and ponder. Perhaps that is the explanation of the persisent, mysterious, unconscious way in which men today Hrnw toe-ether around Woodrow Wil son. It requires explanation. Why, in Washington for months now. has the sight-seeing wagon followed his car? Way do the chattering tourists inside grow silent as they pass it? They don't peer, they IIP. their hats and sigh, and it sometimes takes minutes and striking- sights to break the mood the fleeting glimps* of that drawn, long white face has stirred. Why is it that on Sundays and holidays men and women and child; rcn?most of them* busy through the week?walk to his house and ^tand there in groups, speak to. gether in hushed tones is if something solemn and ennobling moved in them? Curiosity? Men chatter and gibe and jostle in curiosity You will see them before the theatre on nights when it is known that Mr Wilson is within, quietly waiting for him to come out. There will be fifty a hundred, even samiet imes a thousand. They cheer him as he passes, and there are often chokes in the dheersi and always tenderness. Why do they do it? Nothing mor instinctive, more unplanned, goes on in Washington. Let it be known that he is in his seat n a theatre, and the whole house will rise ii homaee. Let his face be thrown 01. the screen, and will draw a greeting that the face of no other living American receives. And that is not true in Washington alone. Why should the vast throng that packed Pennsylvania avenue from end to end on armistice day have stood reverently, with heads bared in silence as the bier of the unknown soldier passed, attended by all the official greatness of the moment?/lie president, his 'cabinet the supreme court, the house, th^ senate, the diplomatic corps, Pershing, Foch?why should this grea' crowd have watched in silence un. til, quite unexpectedly, a carriage fir down the line came in view" Why should this crowd, unconsciou of what it was doing, have hr ker into a low cry of sympathy ant! grief: "There's Wilson!" The cr; flew down the long avenue. They saw him as the man who had cali':d into service the bov the' honored, who had put the wr.idor ful light in his eye, that light r which a great French surgeon said: "The American soldier is differed rrom all others. I don't know wh"at it is. whether it is God, the Monroe Doctrine, or President Wilson; but he has something in his eye.' Yes, Wilson's place was by the dear' soldier, and the people knew it, and told him so by their unconsciout outburst. Wood row Wilson means something to the people of the Unite'" States; something profound, something they can not forget. People think of him now as the man wh was behind the inspiration of tliei greatest moments; who stirrer them to u fre-h understanding of the meaning of words [that had become mere patter on many tongue' ?"democracy," "union." He made fhem realities, personal}, dn showed thtm as the reason of all that is good in our present, all that is hopeful in our future, the work ing basis on which men may striv o liberty of soul and penoof achievement. He made them liter ally things to die for, lifting all o' our plain, humble thousands who never knew applause or wealth or the honor of office into the ranks of those who are willirtr to die for an ideal?ttjt highest plane that humans reach. People are thinking also of his work in that after.war period when the hate, revenge and bitterness that was has lossed have none of the restraints that war compels, and wo must, by reason and good wjll and patience, restore our controls? that terrible period we speak of as reconstruction. There too, lie kindled enthusiasms. "Now," he said. "let us do what men have long dreamed?give to each people it? chance, cut down the foolish barriers of trade limit our armaments i enter into a union of all nations pledged to cooperation and peace." The peoples of the earth rallied to his plan,' pledged ifHeniselves. And then loosed pa-sions began their war on him. Those who wanted peace and believed it easy; those who hated peace and believed it impossible; those who envied his place, differed with his Judgements, failed of his favor?these and many more joined in an attack such a- fev. men have ever faced in the history o! The Unloved Wife. Men think they win women, when hey are merely tolerated. Women will tolerate a great deal. That if I one of their be9t characteristics.; When writing "The Unloved Wife,"! the new. sensational comedy dra"ma in, three acts coming to the Playhouse, P.ennettsvil'e, S. C. Theatre on Wednesday, March Sth for two performances with matinee for ladies only. Florence Edna May, the authoress kept these sentences alway'3 in mind, and it occurred to her that, "Does your husband really love you, or does he just tolerate you?" You bestow countless smiles upon him, sing your best for him, do everything to please him and you?tolerate him. That if the woman side of it. What do yor receive in return? Did it ever occur to you that many married men have a double personality? Should the woman be tied to the home, while th' man can do as he pleases? Is th' amazing situation justice? How long does the honeymoon last? ' These are the facts In marri*"1 and perhaps you have an answer fori each of the above questions, but your answers are not correct because it is your God-given right to be happy. Your husband should understand you, you should not tolearte each other. Miss May, the authoress of "The Unloved Wife" unleashed the pent* up feelings of a young married womaa and in bareing her soul, she drives deep into her audiences' hearts the truths as you should know them. With a cast of excellence and a Broadway production, this latest ' sensational < comedy drama will no doubt create a favorable impression among playgoers when it comes to Playhouse Theatre on Wednesday, March 8th. this earth. He fought to a finish that he "might secure the pledge of the nations to the ideal of world cooperation. He won?won with the peoples of 1 the world, if not with all of their governments. They look to him as the man who drove that ideal so deep into the soul of the nations that no man or men can ever destroy it. It has became an asset of tormented humanity, a possible way out of slaughter and hate. Through all the future men will be building on it, adapting expanding, as men have built on Wash, ington's work, on Lincoln's work, * knowing that their efforts rest on 1 something essentially sound and | secure. They are simple people, remember, those thousands whose hearts he had enkindled. They are the people who do the work of the world, and their minds are easily bewildered. "He has received you," they were tohl. "He has given you dreams. Dreams are not for men. You live by realities, not ideals. Out with him! Down w^th hint! As a great nation, you have strength, you have gold. Keep them. Stand alone. Do not forget that you do, < not live by ideals." i And the people withdrew?bewildered. Rut the shouting over, they ^ rcimo v.bered their long days of ex ltntion of sacrifice, of freedom ^ and l>oldness, of worthwhilenes'. t Was it only a decention? Was all i they had felt a mere magis of i words on their untrained minds.,] ho s-'ir of a fleeting passion in | their lives? Was there no sen-e,:i no reality, in it all? i That is what thousands upon t thousands have been asking in these ] nast days. And slow hey are i turning to him who led them. }' suffering face and palsied side are a symbol of their crippled hopes. "How is it with him," they ask, "a living sacrifice to that faith and that vision? Does he still beliwe? Has he lost faith as well as strength?" And so they seek him. He means ( something to tham; they don't quite , know what. He is a living link with their noblest phase. Those who destroyed that phase are giving them nothing in its place. What does it all mean? And so they follow his carriage, gather before his house, stand in rain and snow and cold before the theatre to get even she most fleeting iglimpse, something that will bid them live again. o .VANTED?to buy all kinds of field j peas and corn.
