WILL RIDE ON WATER WAGON Washington.?The Republican party intends to ride to victory in 1924 on the water wagon. Dry planks in Ihe rational olstfor,v? and the record of 'Warren G. Harding on law enforcement. which is still to be made, but ?on which a beginning kas been started by the announcement of a conference of Governors, are to form the groundwork of the movement depended on to show the voters a way from the issues that proved so disastrous to the G. O. P. in the election last month. Nevertheless, the capital enjoyed its wettest Christmas since prohibition went into effect. Despite precautions against the importation of liquor, .all the trucks of tlie wet fleet seemed to have reached W/\shinj?ton safelv and thn rinntimr ^crs* Exchange report a record-breaking volume of trade at satisfactory prices. Many Drunkness Arrests The police blotters, an unfailing' barometer of the alcoholic precipitation, indicate that the curb market, which includes the distribution of illicit. corn whiskey from nearby farms and other moonshine sources, was equally active. On Saturday there were seventytwD arrests for drunkness. Sunday saw thirty and today's record, while not yet completed indicates about one hundred. As nobody able to navigate is interfered with it is evident the moisture compares with that of pre-Volstead Christmases. The moisture has furnished an incentive to the enforcement unit to seek a drier New Year. The unit is to be reorganized on January 1, while municipalities have been informed the Government will give them a free rein in making raids, arrests and to engage in other dry activities.

Possibly because of this wetness Chairman John T. Adams of the Republican National Committee, is working out the plan of campaign in co-operation with the various farmers' organizations and others inter-1 ested "n making the Volstead law something more than a bad joke and the active work is to begin as soon cs possible after the first of the year. This is the explanation of the sudden agitation of President Harding over the demoralization in pub'io norals resulting from the general connivance at the violation of the * r^i - i -- ? a. _ 1*1 ? 1 1? ? - ? i v oi.sicuu aci, uTier naving coiuemI pljilrr! the growth of the bootlegger , industry, the corruptiDn of prohibition enforcement officials and rhe olKer symptoms of the condition for two years without any sign of pertin'l 'tion or other niani'VstHtion or specia- concern. If they can make nrohib'tion enforcement the issue of the next election, the Republicans igure they will l>e able to annoculate tlie party breaking out all over it. The thing that gives them the greatest coiuern be able to innoculatc the party against the progressive rash that is resulted in the defeat )f Kellogg, elected S^'nst^d, Ferris, Dill, Erooklxart and Frazier. The idea is that if they can give the grangers enough farm credit legislation to half pacify them, they can knit them to the old organization by the presentation of the issue that the election of a Democratic administration means the nullifying of the Eighteenth Amendment. They have given up hope of the East and are reconciled to seeing New York. New Jersey, Deleware and Maryland follow two years hence the course they took this year and if the forcing of the prohibition issue adds Massachusetts and Connecticut to the Democratic column they will look for compensation in the West. In fact, they have about concluded that there is no other chance unless they can stop the trend toward revolt so strongly manifested in the agricultural States there is no possibility of either Mr. Harding or any other Republican occupying the White House next term. The loss of Indiana was a body blow. They think if they can make the Democrats the recognized wet narty they may regain the Hoosier State and if they do that and hold the r ? j 1 i 1 i 4 n T 1 1 a states tnat went r armer-i^aoor last time, to their old allegiance thev might wriggle out of the defeat that so clearly impends. The opening of the pun of the new campaign was really fired at White Sulphur Spring's a week ago when the Governors foregathered there. Samuel Anvids, President of the American Agricultural Association announced the starting of a campaign for the purpose of electing a dry president in 1!)2 and said the plan w,as indorsed by the American Farm Bureau Association, the National Grange and the National Farmers' Union. He also hinted at the formation of n National League of Dry Democrats. William Jenniners Bryan' might be expected to lead in such an organization, and if it were possible to engineer a bolt when the Democrats refused to f?;o the limit for aridity in their platform, as they did last time, it would help the plan along. It was this shying away from the desert that put Mr. Bryan's "heart in he grave," as he expressed it in San Francisco. The proiect is going to require careful handling, for all sorts of tricks. \\o concealed in the events now developing in Congress. Not only must the rural credits legislation be manipulated so as to satisfy the farmers, without giving them the buying and selling Federal corporation, they are asking, and the crop price insurance proposal that gives the bankers of the Republican party cold shivers, but they must be pacified about the Borah economic conference ,which the administration wants to throttle, but which the farmers are coming to regard as the only way in which the foreign markets, Mi at mean their prosperity can be restored. There is some comfort to the Republicans in the belief that Borah's stand has split the Progressives, but if the farmers get solidly behind it, '?s the communications now raining in fUn ^Annf AUd !?ir)Snnf A MlA I'll tlHJ kJCIiaiUI D 1 ll\l lv C4 vV y VU^ vinwv tlinpr process will become so difficult that it may be abandoned. If it comes to a point where the farmers have pot to choose between nn issue of blame for destroying their hope of markets, and one of making liquor, they might not pro with the Republicans even though Mr. Harding issues his expected appeal and still further sharpens the teeth in the Volstead Act, RUM RUNNERS SLIP INTO PORT Now York.

SWEET POTATO WINS A HOME Does Not go Back Under Ground After Being Dug HAVE SUPERIOR FLAVOR Cured Sweet Potatoes Are Being Shipped to Northem Markets In the fall of 1914 and previously the entire sweet potato population of the state of South Carolina was buried in cold banks as if thev had all died and were never to be seen any more in this world. But the sweet potato was sore displeased with this abode for the winter, knowing that when it came out during the winter or spring its life was very short if it survived to see the outside world once again, and that the chances were it would never be resurrected, since usually sixty per cent were never seen again. So a still voice was heard crying from within the banks: "I want a better home. Why is it I have to be buried in the ground a second time when I have spent my life there?" This small voice was heard by progressive farmers and was answered by the building of one sweet potato house in 1915 which furnished a home for the 15,000 bushels of the orphans. In 1916 six more houses were built with a total capacity of 18.500 bushels for .the two years. Eleven more were built in 1917, bringing the total capacity up to date 20,800 bushels; 1918 saw twenty-one new houses built with a capacity of 13,100 bushels; 1919 saw twenty-four more new storage houses built with a capacity of 86,900 bushels. Tt was during the fall and winter of 1918-19 that our first Southern sweet potatoes were given a chance to show their superior flavor on the Northern markets. Having been prenared by the curing houses, three carloads, or approximately 1,600 bushels, were sent out of the state to Northern markets. During 1920 and 1921 thirty-five and eighty houses respectively were built, bringing the total capacity up to 456,950 bushels at the beginning of the year 1922. Thirty-five more cars of sweet potatoes moved to market in 1919-20 sixty-nine cars in 1920-21, and one hundred and thirty-six cars in 1921 and IVZZ. Before any sweet potatoes could bp moved to market curing houses were absolutely necessary since potatoes stored in banks would not carrv without decay. Storage is now keeping pare with marketing, and dimnor the fa1! of 1922 one hundred and fifteen new storage houses have been bui't by the progressive farmers of this state. The total roDacity of these new houses is 31(5.950 bushels, bringing the total storage capacity in the ^t^to for sweet potafoes up to date 1.733 00() bushels and the total number of houses up to 203. Cured sweet potatoes are now movine to Northern markets from the curincr houses, and the indications are that more than two hundred carloads will be dipped this season to markers outside of South Carolina. o FOR BETTER FRUIT Renovate and Care for the Orchard Clemson College.?Too little attention is given usually the home orchard. In fact, the av.jra ce farmer does not pay any attention to his fruit trees until harvest time. The result is that there is usually very little good fruit to harvest, bec,9n-?; of the ravages of insect pests and fundus diseases. The fruit tree requires fertilizing, cultivating, and other attention. just as other plants do, and unless these things are done, noor results will be obtained, says Prof. C. C. Newman, Horticulturist. In addition to fertilizing and cultivating, the trees should be pruned in order to .allow thorough spraying and to admit sunlight for the prone* development of the fruit. In prunipg old trees all that is necessary is Jto cut out the interfering limbs towaraf the center of the tree, or from that nortion of the tree that appears ,tc be too dense. Soon after pruning, or before the trees begin to bud in the spring thfcj should be sprayed with lime-sulphur This will destroy all fungus spores af well as insects and insect eggs ttyal are on the trees. But this wintei spray is not sufficient, and a seconc spray should be used for the contro of insects so on after the flowers hav< dropped. The trees should then b< sprayed at intervals of two weeks un til the fruit has reached maturity. I: I these instructions are carried out, th< trees will produce more aVmndantl; and the fruit will be of good qua?'ty free from insects and disease. For detailed information in regar< '? to spraying write to the ftxtensioi | Service, Clemson College, S. C. , p the Narrows," he explained. Appleby immediately got in toucl . with Captain John H.

I CTemson College.?The Botany Division has been requested to give di, rections for treating seed Irish potatoes in large amounts. The ordinary 'barrel and sack method is very tedious where something' Pike 1,500 bushels are to foe treated, as is the caso with one inquirer. The following plan will effect a great saving of labor where large amounts are concerned, says Dr. C. A. Ludwig, Associate Plant Pathologist. Pre[vire a large wooden or concrete vat or trough deep enough to allow the bags or crates used to be covered with the solution. Malre up th^ solution m the usual way (4 ounces ! of corrosive sublimate to 30 gallons of water) and fill the trough wi4h solution and potatoes. Now mark the level of the solution in the vat. While the potatoes are soaking, the next lot of potatoes can be bagged or put into crates. As soon as the first lot has soaked 1 to 1 1-2 hours, the 1 substitution of the second lot can be?in, Continue in this way until three 'ots have been treated .and then re- 1 solution up to strength by adding the i proper amount of corrosive sublimate 1 and water to keep the solution at its < original strength and volume. The : nroper amount of corrosive sublimate j to .ndd is 3-8 of an ounce for each 4 1 bushels of potatoes treated ,and the i proper amount of water to add is < ? a ' i n i t 1_ a - enougn to oring tne solution oacx to the mark previously made on the inside of the vat or trough. The chemical should be dissolved in hot water before adding, as otherwise the crystals would drop at once to the bottom and dissolve very slowly. If the strength of the solution is restored in this manner, the same solution c.an be used for treating 10 to 15 lots before being discarded. o 1 STATEMRNT OF THE OWNER- r SHIP. MANAGEMENT.

HOT BEDS AND A COLD FRAME V 11,1 For forcing early vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, etc., the hotbed is indispensable. To conern exposure should he selected, says Prof. C. C. Newman, Horticulturist, who gives the following information yn hotbed construction. The frame should he six feet wide and any desired length. The hotbed sash are always three feet wide and six feet long. As a rule, for the family garden. a hotbed 6x8 feet will be sufficient. It would be much better, hownvov. to have a frame 6 bv 12 feet. TMs will afford ample space for transplant ing the plants and give them more room to develop properly. The soil ,is excavated to a depth of 18 inches and the frame built six feet wide and the desired length and fitted over the trench. The frame should slope toward the east in order to admit sun Fight. The bottom of the frame is filled with fermenting stable manure. This should be mixed thoroughly before being placed in the frame and packed firmly and watered freely immediately afterwards. In the South 12 inches. of manure will frunish sufficient heat for hotbeds. On top of manure is placed six inches of garlen soil which has been well sifted ind is free from all roots and trash, rhis should he slightly packed in or:ler to make it perfectly level. It is well to cover this with one inch of finely sifted woods-earth, since this is always free from grass and weed *eeds, which are frequently very troublesome when the garden soil is used. After the bed has been completed the sash are put in place and the frame allowed to stand for three or four days before planting the seed, rhis is done in order to permit the E>ed to become thoroughly warm before planting. o B.
