weat her Conditions permitting. In or- 1
der to itre sweet potatoes properly <
under heat. it will be lecessa'y to get
atlI the pot atoes into the warehouse
within a peiod of a few (lays.
The ideal way to handle sweet. to)
tat os for storago is in big boxes or
cirntes holdint about a bushel 'ach.
W her''' !'otatoes are intended for hom)e'
use anVOl0 (all easily make tlse
boxes out of ser'ap lumb1lller ahout t he

The stockholders Ill this potato as

in order to demonstrate, that sweet

A number of farmers have asked If

:iandpoint, said Dr. .\iken, was the
acknowlidgeieit on the part of
E1roean spinners of the shoriage of
cotton. Professor Tod, an1 English
cotton slatistician, told the Confer
(neo that the spinners of the world
le(ded all the cottonl that the South
could grow, as the prospects of cotton
I production in other sections of the
world were not bright. iHe urged the
more careful handling of cotton oii
lie farm and said that there was more
waste from careless haudling than the
Finglish had been able to grow in In
dia since they started twenlty-flve
years ago.
The price of cotton was a frequent
ly discussed subject in the Confer
encev, said Dr. Aiken, and spinners
agreed that tie cottoln farmer should
be paid a remunerative price. Opin
ions differed, as to what a profitalo
price was and much discussion rang
r ed around this. Gov. Cooper's discus
. sion of the suliject, he said, appeared
rto him to have been the most seisible
one inl the meeting. Gov. Cooper had
