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

Sweet Potato Growers Given Warning
Clemson College, Oct. 9. 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.
