FARM DEMONSTRATION Edited by T. Standard Grades of Sweet Potatoes. The following specifications of sweet potato grades, adopted from the Bureau of Markets of the United, States Department of Agriculture,1 have been prepared for the guidance of potato growers and storage house owners. U. S. Grade No. 1 shall consist of sound sweet potatoes of similar varietal charactesistics which are practically free from dirt or other foreign matter, frost, injury, bruises, lorav. ruts, scars, ciacks and dam age caused by heat, diease, insects (including weevils), or mechanical or other means. The diameter of each sweet potato shall not be less than one and threequarter inches nor more than three and one-half inches, and the length shall not be less than four inches nor more than ten inches, but the length may be less than foor inches if the diameter is two and one-quarter inches or more. In order to allow for variations incident to commercial grading and handling, five per cent, by weight, of any lot may not meet the requirements as to diameter and length, and, in addition, six per cent by weight, may be below the remaining requirensents of the grade. Any lot in which the diameter is not less than one and one-half inches and which eon tains a greater per- j bv weieht of sweet potatoes below one and three-quarters inches than is perraitted in U. S. Grade No. j 1, but which otherwise meets the requirements of such grade shall be designated us U. S. Grade No. 1 Medium. U. S. Grade No. 2 shall consist of sound sweet potatoes of similar varietal chai-acteristics, not meeting the requirements of the foregoing grades, which are free from serious damage* caused by dirt or other foreign matter, frost injury, bruises decay, cuts, scars, cracks, heat, disease, insects, or mechanical or other means, and which are not less than one and one-half inches no^ more than three and one-half infches in diameter. In order to allow for variations incident to commercial grading and handling, five per cent, by weight of any lot may not meet the require- j ments as to diameter, and, in addition, six per cent, by weight may be below the remaining requirements or this graae. U. S. Jumbo Grade shall consist of sound sweet potatoes of similar varietal characteristics, which are free from serious damage caused by dirt or other foreign matter, frost injury, decay, bruises, cuts, scars, cracks, heat, disease, insects, or mechanical or other means, and which are not less than three /and onehalf inches in diameter. In order to allow for variations incident to commercial grading and handling, five per cent, by weight of any lot may be less than the diameter prescribed, and, in addition, six per cent, by weight be below the remaining requirements of this grade. When v eather conditions are unfavorable, the harvest should be di- j vided into the three natural field I grades?cuts, strings, and marketable | stock, and the marketable grades and seed each placed in storage without delay and graded into the standard grades before the drying process is begun. How to Establish a Carpet Grass Pasture. Carpet grass is rapidly becoming recognized as our most important pasture grass It is now recognized that it should form the basft of any permanent pasture. It may be seeded on cleared land which has been in cultivation, or on cut-over land without clearing. A. In order to secure a good stand immediately on cleaied land, first work the land into a good firm clean bed. Deep plowing is not necessary. Sow the seed at the rate of ten pounds per acre. It should be grazed closely since close grazing and much trampling will help Carpet grass and will kill weeds. About six pounds of Lespedeza should always be seeded with Carpet grass, unless it is already grown on the land. Carpet grass when once started will soon crowd out other grass and take possession of the pasture if closely grazed. It never becomes a weed, however, and can be easily destroyed. B. Carpet grass may be started on cut-over land, and will form a good pasture in a short time, if the native wire-grass and broom-sedge are burned off and the pasture is % grazed closely. Mr. C. V. Piper, who has made a close study of Carpet grass, gives the following plan for converting wire-grass and broomsedge lands to Carpet grass pasture. "(1) All brush should be cut and ?.U tree* not valuable for timber AGENT'S DEPARTMENT M. Cathcart. ________ deadened by girdling. "(2) Burn over the area as cleanly as possible when conditions are favorable. Disking 01 powling is not necessary and apparently not desirable. In lieu of burning, close mowing may be used, but this is more expensive. "(3) Limit the arcr, preferably by fencing, to the acreage that can be kept heavily grazed. "(4) Drain by open ditches all wator ic lilrplv tn stand <\lcao ??uw* ? for a considerable time. "(5) Heavy grazing will destroy all bunch grasses in one or at most two seasons, and solid Carpet grass sod will cover the land. I "(6) On 'flatwoods' and other soils suited to carpet grass, gallberry and bayberry often occupy much land. These shrubs may be eradicated by cutting with a brush hook or other device two or three times. Gallberry and bayberry are both bitter, and animals refuse to eat them." Keep Two Hens for Each *Member of the Family. You can reasonably expect to get an average of at least 10 dozen eggs per hen per year from your small flock in the back yard. On the basis of two hens to each member of the family this will give 20 dozen eggs a year to each person, which amount is about halfway between the average of farm and city consumption. No backyard poultry keeper should be satisfied with less than this. He ?J ?V?"AU wiam QO snouia try iu a? muui ?? possible. To provide an egg a day for each person, two hens would have to lay 183 eggs each a year. 3 Frequent C I Headaches S Tj "I suffered with chronic |Y M cqgftipation that would bring on W\ very severe headaches," says ki Airs. Stephen H. Kincer, of IT W R. F. D'. 1, Cripple Creek, Va. W kA "I tried different medicines and kd XI did not get relief. The head- IT M aches became very frequent I M U heardof L 5 ThedfonTs ? Rl ARK.nRAIIRHT y and took it for a headache, and y W\ the relief was very auick. and A) it was so long before I had Uk J another headache. Now 1 just U W\ keep the Black-Draught, and nf A| don t let myself get in that wk J condition." Lj T| Thedford's Black-Draught IT M (purely vegetable) has been kJ found to relieve constipation, |y Y1 and by stimulating the action of IT M the liver, when it is torpid, helps M kJ to drive many poisons out of ^ Tj your system. Biliousness. \T M Indigestion, headache, and M kJ similar troubles are often ki Tj relieved in this way. It is the IX natural way. Be natural! Try pk NOTICE OF TEACHERS' EXAMINATION. The regular fall teachers' examina tion will be held at each county court house on Friday and Saturday, November 3rd and 4th. All prospective teachers should keep these dates in mind. If there are any teachers who have accepted positions and who are uncertain about their certificates, or who wish to raise the grades of their certificates, they should take the examination. The examination will be divided as usual into the primary, elementary, and high school, and all applicants should definitely decide before reaching the court house as to which examination they expect to take. It will be absolutely necessary that all applicants take the examination both days, as they cannot se cure a ceruncaie on one aay s worn. The examination will begin promptly at 9 o'clock in the morning. All questions on a subject will be given out at the same time, and all papers taken up at the same time. Applicants who come in after a subject has been completed will miss that subject. Therefore, it is necessary that all be on time. I should like to remind applicants that holders of primary certificates may teach in the first five" grades, holders of the elementary certificates in the first nine grades, and holders 'of the high school certificates, in all eleven grades.
