STORAGE WIL SAVE SWEETPOTATOES Proper / Storage Houses Should b Built to Care for the. Crop.-Import ant Product Has Been Poorly Han died and. BIg Waste Results-Cal Be Avoided. Columbia. -The proper storage ol sweet botatoes is one of the most Im portant food conservation measures that can be put into effect in South Carolina, and is urged by the Food Administration. No perishable pro duct grown in this State is more im .portant than the sweet potato, and none, as a rule, is so poorly handled according to United States, Depart ment of Agriculture experts.: 'to keep this crop in good condition the pota. toes must be well matured before dig ging, carefully handled, well dTied, or cured, after being put in the storage house, and kept at uniform tempera ture after they are cured. The only safe and practical method of storing sweet potatoes is in a well built stor age house. Suggestions on storing sweet pota. toes, and detailed Information on how to construct a suitable storage house, are contained in Farmers' Bulletin 970, recently published by the United States Department of Agriculture, and a copy of this bulletin may be had by any interested person who will write the Department at Washington and imake request for It. Proper storage of sweet potatoes after they have been grown is equal. ly as Important as making the pota toes. It is good economy to build a substantial place for keeping ' the product, for then the chances of loss are greatly reduced, and a storage house will soon pay for itself. There is no food to be iasted these days, and no one should take any chances of loss which can be avoided, says the Food Administration. To the Trade If you are thinking of buying a good Watch.

Columbia.-Losses of live stock, killed on railroad rights of way, in South Carolina, are upiwards of $50,000 a year. The loss caunot, however, be TUneaured in terms of money. As Charles Barhanm, of the Food Admin istration, traffic and transportation department, has expressed it, "Money is the cheapest thing in America to. day." The loss is in meat and leather, so sorely needed by the government tor the nation's fighting men. Since the greatest proportion of the losses are in "scrub" stock-stock which could and otherwise would be fatten ed and prepared for the slaughter house-the potential loss, in meat, leather and fats, is probably more than $100,000 a year in South Caro lina alone. This is, furthermore, a loss which can be avoided. The State Council of Defense has realized the seriousness of these losses at a time when moat, leather and fats are too precious to be wast ed; and following a conference held this week with Mr. Darham and sev eral railroad officials, is making a per sonal appeal to the owners of live stock throughout the state, asking them, In the public interest and as a patriotic duty, to keel) their stock up. Live stock owners are being asked to sign pledges to safeguard their stock against being killed or mniimed by ,passing trains. There is only one way-that is to keep the stock up so they cannot wander near the railroad. Money cannot replace hogs and cattle killed in this way. In communities where there is no stock law in force, citizens aire urged by the Council of Defense and the Food Administration to protect their own interests and the national inter est by taking innediato steps looking toward the adoption of such laws. TREAT YOUR SEED WHEAT BEFORE PLANTING Probably the worst evil farm ers who plant wheat have to contend with is smut. Thou sands of bushels of grain are lost annually as a result of smut. Smut is a disease of wheat, and can be prevented absolutely. The method is to treat the seed before planting. Use blue-stone or formaldehyde.

Cross ties are the foundation of your railroads and are needed for the safe transportation of your mothers, your daughters, your sisters and your wives who attend the needs of the boys as the Red Cross nurses, as Young Women's Christian Association workers, or for other duties in their many missions of mercy to cheer and take care of the sick and wounded. Cross ties are needed to make sure t.he safe and promnpt movement over the thousands of miles of railroads of the grain ain( other products your sons and brothers and our allies in Elurop must have for use and their sustenance dur ing the conduct of the "war for democracy." Without cross ties the safe and sure transportation of the country's coal, iron ore, steel manuf actures and other products and materials necessary for the output of munitions and ma - terials needed by your troops cannot be supplied to fight the Kaiser, and without your help the cross ties nueded cannot, be had. Cross ties are needed for the maintenance of civil popula tion of our country who are working for the troops who are fighting the Kaiser.
