The approach of the war’s third Mother's Day brings back to us a legend we first read in a dog-eared history book during our school days. Intervening years ha\e somewhat dimmed its details for us,/but not its meaning. Many centuries a^,’ when the citizens of Rome were called upon to lend their wealth and precious gems to the support of their warring government, the mother of the Gracchus family—a family that was to become ^eat in Roman history—called her strapping sons to her side and gave them into the service of their country with the words, “These are my jewels!” It is a coincidence of war and history that American boys are fighting now in the same land wihere the mother of the Gracchi spoke for all mothers of soldiers. For the mothers of America have also given their “jewels”—^Iwart young fighting men—^gems with the strength of granite. But what about Mother herself? Does she not have her own geralike qualities? Is she not, to every mother’s son of us, as constant as diamonds, as matehleOT as perfect pearls? For many years, from her sons and daughters, she has bfcu receiving Mother’s Day cards and gifts that praise her en during virtues, but certainly this year such sentiments speak of love grown even deeper through another year of war, and thus another year of separation from her own. We think of the millions of American Mothers who go determinedly about their self-assigned job of making happy homes, and pretend- T. H. Young H.

Blackville, April.—Yield of sweet potatoes from vine cuttings exceeded that from sprouts, in testa which have been conducted for several years at the Edisto Station, branch of the South Carolina Experiment Station. A field experiment for comparing the yields from plantings of sweet potato sprouts and vines set on dU- ferent dates has been underway at the Mlsto Station since 1939. From 1939 to 1942 sprouts were planted semi monthly between May 16 and July 1, and vines from a “mother patch” wero set from June 1 to July 16. In 1943 vine cuttings taken from plantbeds also were included, and the first plantings were made 15 days earlier than In previous years. TTie yields obtained from plantbed vine cuttings compared favorably with vines cut from the field. In each case the yield of marketable sweet potatoes decreased as the plant ing date was delayed. In general the planting of sprouts after June 15 or of vine cuttlnga after, July 1 gave un satisfactory yields. Aside Tfom the fact that the use of vine cuttings reduces the risk of losses from sweet potato root dis eases, the increased yield from vines appears to be significant. Therefore, those cultural practices which enable the setting of vine cuttings as early in the season m possible would con tribute to increased yields and returns per acre, gay horticulturists of the station. £.ook!
