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."

FROM COMER'S WEEKLY. 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

When a noble ideal kindles sue'
enthusiasm, that ideal becomes om
of those things that without warn

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

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;

gether in hushed tones is if something

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.
