SWEET POTATO
SUFFERS WASTE
More Than Perhaps Any Other
Crop Raised by Farmers
in Horry
LACK OF STORAGE
LARGELY RESPONSIBLE
Should Take Aclvanto.fr'> oi' a
Great Northern Mr..: lie t
for Crop.
It is doubtful if any crop produced
in the United States suffers as much
loss from waste as the sweet pot*it">.
A survey made by the Bureau of
Plant Industry of the United States
Department of Agriculture showed
that tlie loss to the crop by prevent
able disease was more than 50 per
cent, but often after the crop is harvested
growers fail to take advantage
of the possibilities of the great Northern
market. The country would oat
sweet potatoes, but the field is far
from being developed to its full capacity.
Charts prepared by the Bureau of
Markets show that eleven states south
of Virginia and Kentucky which grow
the Southern varieties produced approximately
16,300 cars of sweet potatoes
and marketed 4,020 cars, or
less than 3 per cent of the production.
The remaining sixteen states
growing the Jersey type produce approximately
20,273 cars and market
1 1,353 cars, or about 45 per cent of
the production. The eleven states
which produce K5 per cent of the total
crop ship only 2fi per cent of the total
shipments, while the other states producing
only 15 per cent of the total
crop ship 74 per cent of the total
shipments. A study of the situation
on the part of the Bureau of Markets
in co-operation with state agricultural
colleges has convinced specialists
that conditions can be remedied.
One great lack in the Southern
sweet potato centers is proper and
sufficient storage facilties to hold the
crop until it can be disposed of, says
the Department, nf
... , 1^,1 IV UlUll t*. It
is believed that such facilities would
not only permit marketing of a much
larger proportion of the crop, hut
would obviate the necessity of selling
at any price which is oflered for spot
sales. Farmers in the back country
aro also often insufficiently informed
on efficient methods of gathering and
grading. To correct these conditions |
an exhibition car called "the Sweet
Potato Special," 'was sent out by
Clemson Agricultural College and the I
United States Department of Agri- :
with several railroad companies. J
The special covered 21 stations in 10
counties of South Carolina. More
than 2,100 farmers visited the car and
were shown proper methods of handling
and grading, and cautioned
against costly mistakes. Among
tho exhibits was a model of a practicable
sweet potato storage hou.-e,!
such as are built by private parties j
or by cooperative organizations festered
by the extension service.

IMPROVED PLANTS
EXCELLENT RESULTS
"Tho development of improved crop
, plants, through breeding, selection,
1 and in other ways has almost limitless
possibilities and has received a
great deal of attention both from the
Department of Agriculaure and the
State Experiment Station," says the
Secretary of Agriculture in his an- j
nual report to the President, "it in
exceedingly difficult," he adds, "to
state accurately, in terms of dollars
| and cents, the value of fundamental
, v;ork of the sort, but unquestionably
j it i; tremendous."
j The efforts to develop improved
[ varieties of corn, which have been
i under way by department .specialists
j for 20 years or more, have probably
increased production by one-fourth,
j Improved wheats have added greatly
I to the wheat yield, ard it is only nec|
ess~ry t') mention Marquis, Kanred,
Earl<* Baart. and the new wheats of
the Washington Experiment Station
| to realize their importance. Detter
i potatoes have been factor in the production
of this years crop, and new
varities at present under lest indicate
that they mark a notable advance,
j The developent of early velvet beans
multiplied the acreage tenfold in 3
years, and high-yielding superior lint
cottons, such as Meade, Acala, Duri
ango, Trice, and Columbia, are of inestimable
value. The recent developed
Victor cowpea is far superior
to any previously known.
"Similar, but perhaps less striking,
results have been secured with most
of our important crop plants, and il-l
lustrate clearly what will, with >ut a
doubt, continue to be a fruitful fieM
of activity for a large corps oi' investigators,"
declares the Secretary*.
o
VELVET BEANS GOOD GRAZING.
Velvet beans are an important
grazing' crop for cattle and hogs in
the South in autumn and winter, according
to specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
They are not grazed well by horses
or mules, or by any live stock until
afetr they are well matured or frosted.
. As the leaves, vines and pods
decay but slowly when subjected to
weather conditions, velvet beans will
furnish feed until early spring. Itis
usually better to let the crop stand
until it is well matured, or until it
is killed by frost, as the leaves will be
off the plant at that time and the
corn which has been planted at the
same time may be gathered with less
difficulty.
The amount of grazing which will
be afforded will, of course, vary with
the growth of the crop and the quail- i
tity of corn not gathered, hut it is
the custom with many catlemen to
allow one-third or one-half acre a
month for each steer or cow. The
usual period for pasturing velvet
beans is about three months, but this
may be shortened or lengthened as
deemed advisable. When the period
is longer because of large acreage
in proportion to the number of cattle
there is necessarily some loss of feed
through decay.
Hogs should be permitted to follow
the cattle, as they will consume practically
all the beans which the cattle
fail to get. A common practice is to
allow one or two hogs is addition to
the cattle for each acre of beans. A
rood stanJ 'of velvet beans should
produce about 150 pounds of beef and
! 00 pounds of pork per acre.
A SUCCESSFUL PIG CLUB GIRL.
C'lemson College.?A very fine record
was made by little Pauline McCoy,
a pig club member, at the re- i
cent Lee County Fair, Bishopville, S. i
C. She exhibited a Poland-China1
gilt in the pig club department and
was winner in the first prize. She,
also won first prize in the class in;
which she exhibited in open competition
with all hogs of this class. A
still better prize which she won was
the sweepstakes over all breeds. The
total prize money, after deducting |
payment of entrance fees, amounted
to $34.00 in cash. I
The pi?? was purchased from CJ. C. i
Shu lor, Vance, S. C., a successful
Poland-China breeder, for $25.00. The
prize money won at the Loo County
Fair loaves a not surplus of $0.00 toward
cost of feed?and, of course, she
still has the pig, which is now worth
several times the purchase price.
Much of the credit for this little
girl's success is duo to County Agent
Quinnerly, who gave her instructions

/ < a r\sii!t of tho phenomenal Jul
nee in (o\va land values during t'.v
pring c (! summer of 11?11), th
L itod St tos Department of Agriculture,
ip co-operation with tho 1 wa
State Co!five of Agriculture, made an
investigation, which shows that tho
prices at which farm land was sold
in many sections of that state were
too high to justify the returns which
iw. mn/iA i? it vt"ic f finnfl
*.<l 11 ui; ill av a i i w 111 l . i v \/ v?n\?
that the average value of Iowa farm
lands increased $121 per acre in the
five years from 1915 to l!)20, and that
$63 of this increase occurred between
March, 1919, and March, 1020, the
twelfth month including1 the period of
the boom. Over (55 per cent of the
buyers and over 56 per cent of the
sellers were farmers, hile, contrary
to general belief, perhaps, less than
7 per cent of the buyers and a little
over I! per cent of the sellers were
real estate men. The facts relative
to the per cent of returns on investment
on these lands which were
brought out make it clear that they
are valued in excess of their earning
capacity. The investigators point
out that with land paying but 3 per
cent on capitalization, and loans running
at 0 per cent or more, buying: a
farm on a large margin of credit is a
difficult undertaking for the farmer
of average ability as a munaffcr.

Bell writes, "If you have never tried
that, try it, and you'll get a now sensation.
I did it once, and it sounded
as if a man were "hammeiing lor all
he was worth at iny very ear.
"I then took two tiny little pebbles
and tapped them together quite lightly
under water and it sounded like a
man knocking at the doer. It was
rather startling to hear such a loud
noise from such a slight came.
"Reflecting upon various experiments,
the thought occuired: Ji' two
ittle stone.* tapped tv^etlioi can be
.eari u^'V^r water, why, every tiny
tbst:):' il.at sraps his claws must
.ake an aud'bie click, i wender if
lere are creatures tiiat signal to one
mother by sound.
"Well, 1 had occasion to try it once.
Bathing in the Grand River in Ontario
a great many years ago, 1 put
my head very gently under w;*ier and
listened, and sure enough, 'tick, tick'
j came a sound like a grasshopper's
chirrup, and a little after that came
chirrup, and a little while a .'tor that
a chirrup on the other side. There
were creatures under the water that
were calling to one another.
"I don't know whether all fish reake
sounds or not, but there avc. some fish
that certainly do. The drumfish on
our coast drums away in the water
so loudly that you can hear him while
you are walking on the rhore.
"It is also a significant fact that all ^
fish have ears. Why should they have V
cars if there is nothing for them to
' hear?
"Of this we may he certain--that
lhero is whole world of >*oimd beneath
the waves waiting" to he explored.
"Three-uuartsis of the e-rth's surface
is under water and nas not yet
been explored, at least to ai^ gveat
degree."
