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

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

possible. To provide an egg a day
for each person, two hens would have
to lay 183 eggs each a year.

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.
