This contractor got results. Some years ago a contractor build ing a railqpad in a warm climate was troubled a great deal by sickness among the laborers. He turned his attention at once to their iood and found thai they were etting full rations of meat and were rinking water from a stream nearby. He issued orders to cut down the amount of meat and to increase greatly j the quantity of Quaker Oats fed to the men. He also boiled Quaker Oats and mixed the thin oatmeal water with their drinking water. Almost instantly all sig_ns of stomach disorders passed and Ins men showed a decided improve ment in strength and spirits. This con tractor had experience that taught him the great value ol good oatmeal. 53 ^Packed in regular size packages, and in hermetically sealed tins for hot climates. 1 CLEMSON EXTENSION WORK | 3 * One of the most wide spread and most destructive diseases in this state *tj\t present is the Black Hot of Sweet Potato. This disease occurs quite commonly and oes considerable dam- ! age on potatoes both in the field and in storage. The rot Is caused by a j parasitic fungus which, under cer- ' tain conditions, is able to pass from one plant to another and thus spread the disease. The trouble first appears as brown or black patches or mottled, dlscol- ' ored areas on the surface of the po tatoes. Quite frequently these dis colored areas are observed in pota toes when they are dug but at this stage the disease only seems to pene trate the skin and Is apparently do ing no serious harm. Later the rot extends into the potato and causes the affected area to turn black und to emit the odor which is so charac teristic of rotton potatoes. When such potatoes are stored in warm, moist places, the rot producing fungus be comes especially active and by menus of tiny spores, which ara produced in small black pustules on the sur:'; (??? of the diseased areas, spreads rap'.dlv from one potato to another. Under stich conditions the disease is also spread by the filaments of the fungus growing from the rotton potato direct ly into adjoining healthy potatoes. In this way the rot might spread to every potato in a bank. If slightly diseased potatoes are stored In a place where conditions! are unfavorable for the development of the rot. they frequently remain part ly rotted until spring. The real dan ger of spreading the disease from one field to another comes in bedding such potatoes. Slightly diseased potatoes seem to sprout as readily as heal thr ones, and the slips from such pota toes are diseased. The disease transferred with such slips to the field remains on the plant and attacks the potatoes when they develop. The fungus which causes black rot also lives over in the soil from year to year and where potatoe s are planted every year on the same land, the disease constantly gets worse. To prevent black rot then we must : First, secure disease free seed for planting Second, avoid planting potatoes on the same land for two years in suc cession. Quito frequently it is impossible to secure potatoes for bedding which are entirely free from disease. In such case it is well to use vines Instead of slips, for the fungus which causes the disease remains in the vicinity of the roots of the plants. It does not live in the vines and leaven, so vines growr from diseased potatoes, If plant ed on land which is free from disease, will produce sound potatoes. No-*, pj, I have said, black rot oc cur* on the majority of the farms In this state, and Is responsible either directly or indirectly for the loss of thousand of dollars worth of potatoes annually. bo it is well for every farm er to look out for it and guard against Its spread. If you have already bedd ed your potatoes ami are not sure that they nre free from disease, plant as much of your crop as you can from vines and on land not previously plant ed In potatoes. When you gather these potatoes, bank separately the ones grown from the vines and the ones grown from the slips and note the keeping qualities of each. Potatoes should not he banked for two years In succession in the same place, because the fungi which cause these rots will live over in the obi banks and attack the new potatoes as soon as they nre hanked. Where po- j tato houses or cellars are used for storing, they should be cleaned out and disinfected before the new crop is put In. This can he dene by clean ing them out thoroughly and (hen spraying the wails ami floor with a 3 per cent, solution of formaline or a 1 per cent, solution of copper sul phate (Blue stone.) II. V.'.

Do a man nine teen favors and If you refuse the twen tieth he will he apt to forget the past and abuse you for not doing the last. Some men say the world Is getting heiter, in my long experience With mankind I have found honesty at a low ebb. It lias been "Get all you can and pay as little as possible." I have done a credit business for 40 years and find that if a debt is not paid at the end of the first year there Is uncertainty of its future collection, and in a few years it is considered settled. The civil law says after six years it is out-lawed?runs out of date. How about the moral law? Docs It run out of date? If a man lives up to the teachings ' of our Lord, he will surely make every effort to pay his honest debts; and he will furthermore not consider it "smart" to cheat his neighbor out of his goods. I think we have laws on our books that have encouraged ex : travaganee and have caused our people ' to get into the habit of taking more goods than they can pay for. If the "old cow and spinning wheel" law had remained In force we would now be a more prosperous people. Let a man's property be liable for his debts and he will bo cautious as to what ho buys. Homestead and lien laws have caused our people to drift off into bad habits. The primitive Baptists are the best folks in our land. If a man don't pay his debts he can't stay in their church. Our clergy OUghl to preach honesty along with sobriety. And If a man refuse to pay his debts, turn him out of the church just as for getting drunk. The hope of an Improvement along this line will have to come through the family am! the church. No legis lation can make people honest. A ? pure and honest man is the greatest work of creation.
