Thursday, Nov. 23,1911. Commissioner of Agriculture E. J. Watson went to New York this week to attend a conference of cotton men. It is hoped these conferences can do something to hold up the price of - , cotton, but we doubt it. The only salvation for the South is reduction of acreage and planting other things than cotton. r^nvprrmr Rlea^e is sure doing: some lively campaigning these days. If "Jones hasn't got him on the run, he acts mightily that way, anyhow. He made a speech at Gaffnev last week to^he Red .Men, but he also touched on politics, defending his pardon record, etc;. He referred to the Hasty case, but said he could not discuss it on account of the presence of the ladies. Keeping; Sweet Potatoes. During the past three years experiments looking to the best method of keeping sweet potatoes have been carried on at the Experiment Station here. A careful study has been made of the roots of potatoes, and the conditions under which tfiese roots 1 ? TXTG v* J fho* f a i/vritv Af ini'i V^. VF C llliU mat 111c luajvi iwj vx the trouble in keeping sweet, potatoes comes from the presence of disease on the potatoes when they are brought into the bank from the field. The black rot, and the stem rot, both of which are very common throughout the Stated are primarily field dis eases. They attack the underground portions of the plant while in the field and cause black and scabby looking areas on the surface of the tubers. When these potatoes are dug and stored in banks or houses these diseases spread throughout the entire lot and cause the potatoes to rot. The most important thing, then, in connection with storing potatoes is to see that you have absolutely healthy potatoes to begin with. Where the crop is planted from vines the potatoes are usually iouna 10 oe ver> free from the disease. For this reason it is well to bank the potatoes grown from vines- separately from those grown from slips. This is es ^ peciallv advisable where you are not sure that the potatoes grown from slips are free from disease. Potatoes which are free from disease usually keep well when banked in the ordinary way. Care should be exercised to keep the potatoes from becoming chilled at any time; the temperature in a bank should not be allowed to go below 50 degrees at any time during the winter. We find 1 - * ^ V ^ M that where potatoes are once iuuioughly chilled, it is almost impossible to keep them. The storage rots, such as the soft and the dry rot j both of which frequently occur in stored potatoes, make rapid headway on potatoes when they are once chilled. Any temperature beiow 50 degrees will chill the potatoes sufficiently to enable these rots to get a start. Potatoes should never be banked for two years in succession in the same bank: The fungi which cause the diseases in the field and the ones which cause the rots in storage, will live over in these old banks and will attack the new potatoes as soon as they are stored. The same soil andthe same straw should not be used for two years in succession for covering the banks for this same reason. Where potato houses are used they should be thoroughly cleaned out and the walls and floors sponged or sprayed with a o per cent, solution of formaline or a 1 per cent, solution of blue stone before the potatoes are brought in. Where these precautions have been followed we have experienced very little difficulty in keeping sweet poiaiut-s. H. W. BARE. Botanist and Plant Pathologist of S. C. Experiment Station. November 18. 1911. The low price of cotton has almost stopped, the sale of fertilizers. During the last month the tag tax of 2'? cents has been paid on only 1.000 tons. For the same time last year 7,00b tons were sold. During this fertilizer year the State treasurer, has received $2">1.94l in tag taxes. This money goes to Clemson College. Next year that great school will have a smaller income. FRIDAY A LUCKY" DAY. Somebody \ow Wanted to Knock * Out No. lit. Superstition has recently received a hard knock in a compilation of a newspaper man going to prove that ? Friday is a fortunate day. The su- I perstition, we are told, orginated with the Greeks, the basis of their j prejudice being that it was on Friday i the Savior was crucified. The facts * going to prove that Friday is not an J unlucky day. we find in the New Or- ( leans Picayune.

On Friday, March 15, 1493, he arrived at Palos in safety. On Friday, November 22, 1495, he arrived at Hispanolia, on his sec- i ond voyage to America. On Friday.

I An 18-year-old boy who was tried c on a burglary charge came to court with his own little Bible in his hip pocket, and insisted on being sworn j in with that instead of the ordinary < court Bible. The jury acquitted him. j Mrs. Charles Campbell made the j charge that this boy, George McAllis- I ter, tried to break into her apartment, ~ at 58 West Sixty-sixth street, on f August 2, by letting himself down I on the dumbwaiter. She said she ? opened the dumbwaiter door and he * almost fell into her arms. She held I him there until a policeman came. George went on the stand, and af- j ter Scorning the Bible offered him by I the court attendant said: * a "Oh. no: I have a Bible of my g S own." and he reached for his hip a pocket and produced a Bible, with I which he was duly sworn.. He told Judge Foster, sitting in Part I of general sessions, that he had been playing on the roof with 1 another boy, and that they had ex- ? tended their fun by taking rides up c and down the dumbwaiter. Charles t Hartnell was his friend, and he had c a similar story, but admitted to the court that he and George had only^a j day or two before the latter's arrest t tried to steal an automobile from the * street and had not succeeded.

MR. & MRS. L. M. AVER. Card of Thanks. So many friends helped in so many ways during the illness and death of our little one. that it is impossible to see and thank each personally. To those who were kind to us in oil'' hour of sorrow we are truly grateful, and our gratitude is none the less sincere because we cannot express it more fully. It is at a time like this that we learn to know and appreciate our friends as never before. May God ( bless you all. MR. & MRS. M. J. BLACK. SHOT INTO STREET CAR. 1. \V.
