The preIiminaries that will be pulled
off on the night of the 2Sth of April

Sweet potatoes should be dug on a

On a small scale they may be. dug
with a spading fork. and great care
should be taken that the roots do not
become bruised or injured in the proc.

the roots should lie exposed for two

which they may be placed in a warm.

for curing sweet potatoes is from 80

cured around the Kitchen stove and

missal from that office. This followed

lice without disorder. Further dem.

position newspapers have been sup
pressed and martial law has been pro-
claimed.
