Can The Surplus Of
Sweet Potato Crop
Andrew M. SouIe, Pres. Georgia State
College OF Agriculture

The canning of sweet potatoes is a
matter of great Importance, and on
this account considerable attention
has been directed to this problem by
the Georgia State College of Agricul-
ture. Two years ago an instructor was
appointed in the Department of Hor-
ticulture in the person of Prof. R. E.
Blackburn. In addition to his teaching
work, he undertook investigations
with the canning of sweet potatoes in
the hope of discovering cheap and
desirable method of preserving them.
1t is important to remember that the
potato should not be allowed to cool
from start to finish of the processing.
The experiments indicate that sweet
potatoes may be canned successfully
in quite a number of different ways.
Among those which have given the
greatest degree of satisfaction are,
first, the direct, open process which
requires about five hours; second, the
intermittent open process which takes
one hour day for three days in sue
cession; third, the use of steam at a
pressure of five pounds and requiring
two hours to complete the work;
fourth, steam under ten pounds pres
sure and requiring about seventy-ive
minutes; and fifth, steam under fif-
teen pounds pressure and requiring
about fifty minutes to complete the
work.
The first two methods would, of
course, be better adapted for use in
the farm home than the latter three
1t was found after many trials. that
sugar syrup is of little value in the
canning of sweet potatoes. In other
words, it is best to pack them dry.
1t is advised in conclusion that
steam be used in the canning of sweet
potatoes even in the home. A small
Gamer will cost about SIS. The pota-
toes may be successfully peeled by
hand if cooked for forty-five minutes
They should be packed while hot and
the cans sealed. Tin is preferable to
glass for sweet potatoes. The pro-
cessing should be done under ten
pounds pressure continued for seven
ty-fve minutes The cans should he
coo ed by filing the retort with cold
water before the cans have a chance
to air cool or just as soon as the pro-
cessing-period is over, and the steam
can then be allowed to escape from
| the retort

FAKE STORY TOLD
Of SENATOR'S STILL

ATLANTA, Nov. ga fake story
which has been going the rounds of
northern and eastern newspapers to
the effect that moonshine still was
found near Senator Hoke Smiths coun-
try residence in DeKalb county, was
nailed here today by the Collector Of
Internal Revenue, who has furnished
the real facts.
In the first place, Senator Smith his
no country residence in, DeKalb coun-
ty He has, however, farm there Of
something over 500 acres. Some time
ago a still was found beyond the De-
catur water works, more than mile
from Senator Smiths farm. 1t was a
small still that could be moved on a
wagon and put down any where near
fresh water with which a few gallons
of wihskey could be made on a run.
That was all there was to it.
To make the fake still more sensa-
tional teh northern papers had it that
the still was not only close to Senator
Smiths residence, but that it was with
in 500 yards of the residence of the
United States district attorney. This
vas equally false, as it was several
miles from the district attorneys
home.

SOME BENEFITS OF
SMITH-LEVER FUNDS
Andrew M. SouIe, President Georgia
State College OF Agriculture

In that section of south Georgia
where the boil weevil has so unex-
pectedly appeared, there is much work
to be done to lead cotton farmers into
raising other crops and to instruct
them in the best methods of cotton
production under those conditions. 1t
is therefore, very gratifying to the
farmers and business men of that sec
ton to find that just such service is
provided through the Smith-Lever
funds. With these funds experts can
be employed to go among the farmers
and render the very practical help
that is needed The foresighted farm
er knows by this time what he may
expect from the boil weevil. This type
of farmer is, therefore, ready to be
advised. The backward and unpro-
gressive farmer will not believe that
the boil weevil will harm him until
the harm is done, but eventually he
will be very willing to receive advice
as to what he must do.
Smith-Lever funds have been instru-
mental in saving hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of hogs during
the past year, through the demonstra-
ton agents inducing the farmers to
use cholera serum and by the agents
themselves applying it. The agents,
of course, are supported in part by
Smith-Lever funds.
All that the county demonstration
hox IN 6xyn 70 in Or
in Georgia, all that they have saved
the farmer not only with cholera Sc
rum, but by spraying for the destruc-
ton of insect and fungous pests and
cattle tick eradication; all that they
have saved in regard to the use of
fertilizers; the better crops they have
demonstrated can be made by improv-
ed methods of cultivation; the improv-
ed and labor saving machinery they
have been instrumental in introducing;
the pure-bred animals they have
brought into the state; the cereal
crops they have led the farmers to
cultivate, the legumes, the fruits, the
truck-all the millions of dollars they
have saved or created is only very
small iota of what the state pays for
it through the Smith-Lever funds.
In addition there are the boys corn
clubs, the girls canning clubs, the pig
clubs, poultry clubs, four-crop clubs,
the domestic science work.
Besides there are the field experts
that travel from the College doing
work in demonstrating in cereals, fer
tilizers and methods of cultivation on
various soil types; experts also in
beef production, dairying and hog
cholera control.
For every dollar that the state puts
up for projects of the Smith-Lever
funds, it gets another dollar from
the United States treasury, in
amounts that increase gradually till the
full limit is reached. None of the
money can be used for teaching pur-
poses. 1t must be spent out among
the farmers. 1t is, therefore, the
farmers money.

JAPANESE GET BULK
OF PACIFIC TRAFFIC

Washington, Nov. 9.-Further evi.

The department gave out an ex.
cerpt from a recent letter to the state
department written by Vice Consul r.
M. Newcumb at Victoria, ID. c.
The war caused the withdrawal of
Canadian and British steamships
from the Pacific trade.
AS a result" he wrote. deep sea
tonnage became arc and much
more freight was offered to the Jap
anese and the few American lines
which still maintained their regular
schedules than they could carry.
Ocean rates have advanced to such
an extent that shippers often find IT
Improbable to sell their products,
even at a good price.
The American lines TOY are with
drawing their vessels. which forces
the bulk Of the Oriental tonnage to
use Japanese lines. The Nippon Yu-
sen Kaisha and Osaka Shosen Kaisha
are the only steamship lines now
maintaining regular service to the
Orient from British Columbia.
These Japanese lines are greatly
benefitting from the present situa
ton"

MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Nov. 9.-Estimates
placed the cattle supply at this point
at sos cars, or approximately 5000
head, slightly less than on last Mon
day, but over three times the number
that put in appearance the CORE
spending day a year go.
Supply of corn fed cattle was linn
tied, not enough to really test condi-
lions. Market on grass steers and
cow stuff ruled anywhere from steady
to a dime lower. Weakness was no
ticeable on inbetween and plain
grades, while well conditioned classes
held their position.
U~nevenness was characteristic in
the trading on stockers and feeders.
Trade was slow in getting under way,
buyers making a play for lower prices
while sellers asked rates that were
stronger. When agreements were
reached the general verdict was that
values were about steady with the
close of last week or sharply lower
than last Monday.
Decline of about a dime was quo
ted in the hog department. Bulk of
the days business was done at $685.
n6.70, with tops at $6.75.
Sheep and lamb prices remained
unchanged with the close of the
week. Demand proved ample and
there was a fair degree of activity to
the entire trade.
