POPULATION FIGURES. Total of 118,000,000 Under American Flag. The 1920 population of continental United States was announced last week by the census bureau as 105,683,108. This was an increase of 13,710,842 or 14.9 per cent, since 1910. This total does not include the population of outlying possessions, which will be announced as soon as the figures for Alaska and the military and naval service abroad are tabulated. It is estimated, hoever, that those possessions have 13,250,000 in habitants, so that the total number of people living under the American flag is in round numbers 118,000,000. The figures for continental United States compare with 91,972,266 ten years ago and 75,994,575 20 years - ago. The increase for the last ten years, however, fell 2,266,849 or 6.1 per cent, below that of the preceeding decade.

Sweet potatoes should be dug before frost or continued cold weather approaching frost. The sweet potato is a tropical plant and both vines and roots may he damaged by temperature above the frost point, warns the extension service horticulturists. The earliest - date of the killing frost in the Piedmont section is October 23rd, Sandhill section November 1st, Coastal section November 9th. T?via nroraient iripa. that the vines JL 11^ pi vtmavmv - ? w? must be frosted before the potatoes are dug is wrong and the practice dangerous. It is unsafe to wait later than the above dates to gather potatoes. Many growers who waited until frost last year lost their entire crops, regardless of the kind of storage facilities. Of the two evils, immaturity and frost injury, the former is least injurious, as the immature potatoes can be kept, while frost-bitten roots can not be kept under any condition. Vines should not be removed except from potatoes to be dug the same day. Experiments and observations indicate that potatoes so treated are hard to cure. However, if frost kills the vines before potatoes can be dug, clip the main stem at base of plant before thawing takes place. The house should be filled within two or three days, and curing should begin on first day and continue ten to fourteen days depending upon weather conditions. There is more danger resulting from under-curing than over-curing, the latter being indicated by the appearance of long sprouts, a condition which is undesirable but more safe fho ahcpnrp nf all SDrOUtS.
