Nevertheless, the capital enjoyed its
wettest Christmas since prohibition
went into effect.
Despite precautions against the importation

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.

Director Day.
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

, 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,

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.

TREATING LARGE LOTS
OF SEED POTATOES
I .
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.

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.
