Sweet Potato STORAGE

In storing sweet potatoes there
are three essentials one should
keep constantly in mind. The po-
tatoes must be fully matured, free
from all rotten spots or bruises
and aired out so that no dampness
is present.
After the first light frost dig the
potatoes, and spread them out in a
cool. dry, shady place to air out
before storage. Provide plenty of
ventilation and stir the potatoes
occasionally to encourage thorough
drying. Also be sure that they do
not chill. Toss carpet OF some
other coarse cloth over them II the
nights grow cold before the time
for storing them.
When the potatoes are thorough
" dried, carefully inspect them, re-
jecting all that are bruised, damp,
or beginning to rot Wrap each
potato separately in clean, dry pa
per catalogue leaves being the
best, on account of their thinness.
Secure a barrel or box, making
sure that it is dry, and sprinkle
a one-inch layer of sweet potatoes
on it then spread thick piece OF
paper over them to separate them
IRON the next layer above.
Continue this till the required
quantity is secured; then set them
away in q cool, dry place. 1t is
imperative that this room for stor-
age be free from dampness and
that the temperature remain, as
nearly as possible, the same at all
times. Temperature that will even
chill lie potatoes is to be avoided.
On the other hand, care should
be taken that the temperature new
err rises sufficiently to induce the
formation of moisture, which would
cause mold and consequent damage
by rot. II is also very advisable
for one TO inspect the stored po-
tatoes once in a while, removing
all that are rotting are showing
all that are rotting or showing
spelling others next TO them.

man farm and part Of the Lawrence
place now owned by w. E. Withers and
others. From here he went to Chicka-
manga to inspect the farm of w. T.
Hasty.
Fifteen experimental farms are TO be
established in Georgia by the Central
for the purpose of demonstrating the
value of scientific agriculture TO the
farmer. II a farm Is accepted, the farmer
must agree to cultivate 40 acres along a
plan to be laid out by the scientific ag-
riculturist OF the railroad.

HALLOWEEN AND THANKSGIVING

Dear Household: We had such a nice Hal
lowe'tn party that feel as II l must tell
you about Il. We decorated the house with
vines and leaves. the doors we tackled
pumpkin faces, painted ON cloth, and all about
the place We tackled cats cut out Of black
calico, and hands of the same material. The
hands pointed TO the fortune teller's room and
there the credulous found a girl dressed as a
gypsy ready TO tell far more truthful fortune
than any stranger could have given u.s. I've
tried both. There were two big tubs. with the
water pretty deep and some apples floating. I
saw some fun around those tubs and some
pretty slick heads before the evening was out
There was music and recitatons and some lee
cream, home made candy and cakes we're sold
to help along the cemetery fence fund.- Every
body had good time and the gypsies and
WITCHES have promised to try it over again next
year.
believe that such parties make amy neigh.
borhood happier. Dances may be all right In
their places, but they tear up a neighborhood
and such parties never do. I hope that some
body win have a Thanksgiving affair and In
