C McCurley, to lmpress upon producers the need for extreme care In harvesting this crop. Ho X, warns especially against cutting with the plow, bruising In handling, and injury from exposure. Attention to a few simple suggestions below will hold down the losses due to careless handling. Mr. Met ai . ley advises. I'se a vine cutter to remove the vines. A vine cutter can he made on I most farms at a very low cost ftoinj a short piece of angle Iron and thice^ section blades of an old mowing machine A description of this vine cutter and Instructions for making may he secured from the county agent's office. If practicable, leave the potatoes In the row for a few hours before picking them up. unless the sun is very hot. This allows them to dry out. giving a cleaner potato and lets the skin burden, which helps to prevent bruising In later .handling. ' Hun the plow deep enough to avoid cutting the potatoes If a vine cutter is Tised, "it Is i ocoHHnended that a middle buster be used, running only one furrow. 1 l'lck up the No. 1 potatoes flrst? placing them directly In the contalnor In which they are to be stored. This should bo (lone as they are pulled j from the vine. Handle the containers carefully while hauling to the storage house. Do not fill containers so fullj that potatoes on top will be cut or i bruised. It might be advisable to use' crates or baskets for No. l's and seed stock and bins for culls. If potatoes are to be banked, use baskets or . small containers for picking up. Do' not pour potatoes from containers on the ground Never throw sweet potatoes Into heap rows or piles when digging. This practice results in bruising. Do nut allow potatoes to remain in the field over night if there is a possibility of frost.

Our trouble 1b not the lack of export*. ..We are growing about 40 percent more cotton than the world can son sume, ye?we go on growing more cotton every year.

She can feed her jackasses and her cattle and her hogs and her people 3 years with this quantity of wheat, and still have some to export, -nut a big crop will be grown next year If Providence doesn't come to our rescue. Wo are sorely in need of insects, droughts, and worms. ..When a man produces a bushel of wheat and sells It for 50c and a bushel of corn and sells it for 40c on# his farm), he has lest money and labor equal to about 15c per bushel. The man who doesn't farm thinks stuff t" eat Is high when It actually costs any thing at all. It's a pity every laborer and every city dweller couldn't be forced to farm just one little yearonly 12 months. Then ho and she would know that food doesn't grow wild. ..If a manufacturer were to produce enough autos or enough refrigerators or enough hats or enough electric motors or enough anything else to last him 3 years, do you think ho would keep on running his plant? If he were to manufacture enough stuff ahead to last him 3 months, he would be sent to an asylum. So long as we grow excess crops from year to year, we'll stay broke, busted and bankrupt Just that long. loot's all hope that the Good Lord will help us control production; the government can't. If we ever expect to prosper we've got to produce less and sell It for more. Call this what you please, but I know whereof I speak.

Dig The Sweet Potato 1 Crop At Proper Time It is much better to harvest sweet J potatoes a few days too early than ' ja few days too late, says County ' Agent W. C. McCarley, pointing out ' i to Kershaw county fanners that time 1 j of harvest is of great importance especially if the crop is to be marketed. 1 Size of potatoes, market price, condition of soli, and frost avoidance are 1 four matters to which the grower . needs give special attention, the agent i says. Dig potatoes when they are of the ' size that the consumer demands, 1 3-4 ' to 2 1-2 Inches in diameter. Potatoes should be mature enough to dig eighty' days after plants have been set in. the fields. When a potato is broken or > cut and the gum dries white it is suf-' flciently mature for keeping. If the crop is very early, the price j may determine the time, as yield may ! be sacrificed if the price is relatively i J high. The higher prices usually re- J iceived for early potatoes will morel | than offset the decrease in yields, i I ' Dig potatoes when ground is dry. The potatoes will be cleaner and will I keep better if they are dug while the! soil is dry. | | li> all means dig before frost. Many j growers still think that they must wait until a light frost touches the vines before they dig Frost generally) follows a rain, leaving soil wet. and | if potatoes are allowed to remain in tho ground even a few days until thej , soil becomes dry. they are likely to | I bo injured. The injury ma> not be, apparent at the time of digging, and j may not show up until after they ihave been taken from storage. j J < ] The election of Senator George, of Georgia, about completed the "purge." i Six of seven over the country adminI istered the crototi oil.
