SWEET POTATOES AS
 A MONEY CROP

There are few articles of hu- man diet more in demand than sweet potatoes. The fact that they are not today one of the
 South's leading market crops is que almost entirely to the fact that southern farmers have not yet provided themselves with the facilities for properly putin g them on the market. Along the
 Atlantic seaboard, particularly In the trucking regions of New Jersey and Virginia where meth odlcal marketing facilities have been worked out sweet potatoes Is one the biggest and best pay ing of all the market crops. Ev
 en in the inland south and in Arkansas the writer knows of localities where, owing to the problem of market facilities hay. ing been solved, there is a highly profitable business in the culture and shipping of sweet potatoes.
 And, the question of facilities Is simple enough indeed. The only facilities required are these:
 First: Storage houses in which the tuberS can be kiln dried by heat from stoves and kept until the market is ready for them. Without this facility the sweet pototo growers hands are tied at the very start, for, not being able to keep his potatoes without proper housing, he is under the necessity of selling them at dig ging time when the quality is poor and everybody is selling, and the price at this time is nearly always very low. The money in sweet potatoes is to be gotten out by storing and kiln drying them and putting them on the produce market during the winter and on the seed po- tato market early in the spring.
 Second: Canning factories to utilize tubers too large or too small for the high class trade, and to take portion of the en-

MAYOR TAYLOR FEN.
 DORSED FOR GOVERNOR
Retail Hardware Dealers Association in Annual Session at Little Rock Last Week May Put Another Live
 One in GubernatOrinl Race

A resolution adopted by the recent annual convention of the Retail Hardware Dealers of Ark ansas in Little Rock intended as a compliment seems destined to put another live candidate into the field for governor. The hard ware men endorsed Charles E. Taylor, mayor of Little Rock, and a former hardware salesman for the honor, and after publicity had been given to the action, let ters began to pour in on Mayor Taylor, urging him to make the race.
 Mayor Taylor was spoken of for the place many times in years past, and he has acquainted him. self with the people of all sec. tions of Arkansas. He is a real reformer, and his friends insist that if he is made governor he will carry these policies with him. Mayor Taylor, in his hand ling of Little Rock affairs, has demonstrated talents of rare tinancier, and there are people who will admit that Arkansas could stand a tnancier in the governors office.

tire crop when the yield chances to be unusually large, A canning factory will pay on the average cOnservativly roc hundred for sweet potatoes, and, since the average yield of such varieties as Nancy Hall will certainly not be less than 6,000 pounds to the acre this would be at the rate of over $4O.00 to the acre for the crop. But this is the price. it must be remembered, for the irregular or surplus goods only, while the standard market tu- bers would be left, if desired, to sell for the fancy prices.
 Third: Standard containers and the use of heated and venti. lated cars for shipping during the winter and spring.
 Sweet potatoes should be carefully graded, put into stand ard potato barrels or hampers and sent to market in refrigera- tor cars in charge of a competent caretaker. If the weather is warm he should keep the car cool by opening the vents or even the doors, and if it is cool he should raise the temperature above the freezing or chilling point by the use of stoves. It is a very easy matter to get a good price for car of potatoes that has received handling such as this.
 Throughout the prairie regions of Southern Kansas and the state of Oklahoma and the treeless plains of Texas west of the nine tyseventh meridian. or roughly the city of Dallas, there is a large and profitable market for sweet potatoes during the winter months and early spring after the digging time rush is over.
 We would like to see a part of this demand supplied by the Prescott & Northwestern terri tory.
 The thing is to go to work and build some storage houses this summer and have them ready at digging time. The writer will be glad to furnish the plans and specifications. We know very we'll of course, that the average small farmer cannot afford to go to the expense of building a po- tato house for the storage of his own small crop, but cooperation will solve this problem and solve it well. Let six or dozen farm CTS or even an entire community go in together and build a house just as they would build a cotton warehouse. This would not cost

The writer of the new bulletin has

as are these figures, they unquestion-
ably fall far short of the reality.
The estimate of ten birds to a
square mile is very conservative, for in
Massachusetts, where the food supply
is less than in the western states, the
tree sparrow is even more abundant
than this in winter.
In Iowa several thousand tree spar
rows have been seen within the space
of a few acres. This estimate, more
over, is for a single species, while,
as a mater of fact, there are at least

"DELICACIES" AT THE FRONT
Hindu Troops Have Partially for
Dainties That Seem Peculiar
to Western Senses.

A Native Indian writer, a Mr.. Mira,
in a letter to an English newspaper,
tells of the kind of d~elicacies that the
British Indian troops at the front par
ticularly enjoy. The principal things
are ghee. areca nut, betel and Indian
tobacco.
To English readers, says the Man
chester Guardian, ghee will be the
most mysterious of these commodi-
ties. 1t is a kind of clarified butter,
made from curdled milk-in India
usually from buffalo milk. The
curdled milk is churned into butter;
then the butter stands for a few days
until it begins to turn rancid. Then
it is boiled. and seasoned with dhye-
whatever that is-salt or the leaf of
the betel, which is a kind of pepper
plant. Indians like it, but Europeans
seldom do, because it is so ripe" that
it is virtually rancid.
AS most people know, the Hindus
use the areca nut as a kind of chew
ing gum. They chew it with betel
leaf and a little shell lime. The nut
is astringent and bitter, but it does
no seem to have any particular effect
on the user. The betel leaf adds a
peppery flavor to the combination.

RIGHT TRAINING FOR A COLT
Handled in Intelligent and Careful
Manner While Young He Will
Be Easy to Manage.

Teach the colt to come at your call,
always treating him with some fine
grain or a lump of sugar when he
does come. Train him to be battered,
led about the place, and tied in stall.
Walk behind and all around him,
speaking to him gently.
Train the colt to become accus-
toned to the harness while he is
small and easily handled. laying the
hand on him occasionally. Curry ana
brush him up one side and down the
other, rubbing him even to the hoofs.
Hitch him to the older horse awhile,
letting him learn by degrees to lead.
Handled thus while young and tender,
such a colt walks right off when put
in harness later on.

NO WAR TAX ON
CANADIAN LANDS
UntruthfuI Reports Circulated by
Interested Parties.

OBTAINING a ~neighbor at the expense
of the truth does not help those who are
guilty of the practice, and it may be
said that those spreading false re-
ports about Canadian lands, in the
hope that they may secure customers
for their own, will certainly fail Of
their purpose. False statements so
maliciously circulated will sooner or
later be disproved. And, as in the
case of the lands of Western Canada,
the fertility Of which is now so we'll
known to people of every state in the
United States, the folly of this work
shows an exceeding short sighted
ness on the part of those guilty Of the
practice.
The present war has given some of
these people the opportunity to exer-
else their art, but in doing it they are
only %arousing the curiosity of those
who read the statements and a trifing
investigation will only reveal their un-
t~ruthfulness.
A very foolish statement has re-
Gently appeared in a number of pa
pers. reading in part as follows
1T is believed that as a result of the
war tax on land imposed by the Cana
dian Government a number of former
Dakota farmers who went to the Brit
ish Northwest viii be compelled to re-
turn to the United States. Informa-
tion has been received that the tax
will amount to about $500 for each
farm of 160 acres, which in the case
of many of the former residents of the
two Dakotas would practically amount
to confiscation."
To show that the public has doubt
ed. hundreds Of inquiries have been
made the Government at Ottawa,
Canada, only to bring out the most en-
phatic denial. A full-fedged lie of this
kind has, of course, only a short life,
and will tell in the end against those
who forge it and spread it, but, as a
Winnipeg paper points out, it is most
complimentary to the agricultural pos
sibilities of Western Canada to find
that rival farming propositions need
audacious mendacity of this descrip-
ton to help them.
What is the truth? The Saskatche-
wan Government has authorized a levy
Of $40 per quarter section on unculti-
waited lands owned by non-residents.
The Alberta Government has imposed
a Provincial tax of 10 mills on the as
sessed value OF all uncultivated lands.
There are some special applications OF
these taxes, but the main provisions
are as above. Those vacant lands
held by -non-residents in Western Can
ada form a grave problem. They are
making for poor communities, poor
schools and poor social and economic
conditions generally. BY having item
cultivated the owners as well as the
districts in which they are located
will benefit alike. 1t is for this reason
that the Government has recently
asked the cooperation of the non-resi
dents. The high price of grain fol

splendid character of Western Canada

Woman Gets Rid of "Coffee Habit"

This is the drug found by chemists in

A woman suffered a long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cof-

the trouble. She writes:
my heart was so weak it could not
do it's work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and it would seem that
1 would never breathe again.

causing the weakness of my heart. He
said I must stop it, but 1t seemed l

and started new and right. Slowly I
got well. Now l do not have any head
