Now Distributing House Journal.


Copies OF the journal Of the house
of representatives for the recent ses-
sion became available, the clerk, J.
Wilson Gibbes, having done diligent
and skilful work in compiling the vol
ume of nearly 1,4O0 pages. Mrs. Wiz
ginia Green Moody, the state librarian,
is dispatching copies to members and
such other persons as are entitled oy
law to receive them. Mr.. Gibbes mas
introduced several innovations, which,
though they devolved on him much
tedious and arduous labor, make the
book much more practically helpful
and more readily available to those
having occasion to use it.
Most valuable Of the new features,
perhaps, is the subject index, in which
the gist is given Of each act. Prepara'
ton Of this section meant for the clerk
the careful reading and digesting OF
every act. The arrangement serves all
the purposes in view better than the
old method Of a mere collocation OF
titles.
Another capital improvement is the
addition Of a section wherein may be
traced easily the history Of bill, reso
luton or claim from introduction to
final disposition. There is a useful
personal index of representatives from
which may be ascertaiaed each mem
ber's record for the session. The vol
ume contains also the usual standard
conTeniences. The Typography has
been recast into comely, convenient
and readable dress.

SWEET POTATO DISEASES
Some Timely Pointers on the Sweet
Potato Diseases Which Should Be
Kept in Mind at Bedding Time.

Clemson College-As the time ap'
proaches for bedding sweet potatoes
the way in which some OF the more
troublesome Of the sweet potato DIS
eases get into the field and spread
should be kept in mind.
Black rot of sweet potato which Is
probably the most common OF the
sweet potato diseases lives over win
ter on the potatoes in the form OF
small black or dark colored blotches
Or spots on the surface. Where pota-
toes affected with this trouble are used
for seed the disease gets into the
sprouts that come from these and is
carried directly into the field. Here
the disease attacks the roots and the
potatoes and after causing consider
able damage is brought back again
into the banks or storage houses the
next fall. Potatoes used for SEED
should be free from this disease.
There are several other diseases OF
sweet potatoes that can be detected
On the seed and that spread in exactly
tie same way that the black rot does.
In picking out potatoes for seed these
should be looked for and wherever
found the seed affected with them
should be discarded or II clean seed
cannot be secured they should be
treated with forma1in solution as ind1-
Gated above. These diseases live or
the tubers and roots but Do not at
tack the vines so where potatoes arH
grown later in the season from cas-
tings from vines the disease wouiS
no. be present. This is the reason
why potatoes grown from vines keep
ra.ta~ than those grown from slips. 1t
Is well to grow seed potatoes for next

frcc, t;2a vines.

New 60 Hour Law Misunderstood.


Concerning the new so hour law for
the textile plants Of the state, E. J.
Watson, commissioner Of agriculture,
commerce and industries, said:
"Operatives IN some Of the mill dis
tricts of the state in some manner
seem to have gotten the idea that the
new 60 hour law, requiring that no
employe except those exempted by
law can work longer than II hours IN
one day or so hours IN one week.
meant that every mill should shut
down absolutely at the noon hour.
Such is not the requirement of the
law.
"The law takes no cognizance what
ever of the time that machinery IS
run. It does emphatically require.
however, that the human machine, the
operative, shall not be worked exceed
ing II hours in one day or SO hours
In one week. The purpose OF the law
is to protect the individual man or wo-
man and to require the mill to employ
spare help for the operation of ma
chinery in excess Of hours. The law
REQUIRES that the time operatives shall
start and stop work be posted in each
room in the mill on prescribed FORMS
and il the operative is worked exceed
ing II hours any one day or so hours
any one week he has the right to COM
plain Immediately to the commissioner
and prosecution will be forthwith in
stituted in every instance.
Under the law the mill can be run
q hours out of every day il the man
agement so desires, but the employ
ment Of the help must be so arranged
that no man, woman or child is work
ed exceeding the hours prescribed by
aw."
