THESE ARE OUR JEWELS!
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

county over the severance of Camden

been outstanding winter residents of
Camden over a long period of years.
It was Mr. Woodward who gave
Camden the Woodward aiiDort >ai)d

abled this city at the opportune time
to offer airport facilities which re

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.
