Sweet Potatoes
BY C. .. BercaW.

Jules Verne could tell the biggest
kind of tale that you would set down
as coming from Fairly Land and then
he would prove it TO you in his mind,
and have it come true in later years.
You all know Of Mr.. Jno. F. Aoh-
bold. son of the late presiden Of the
Standard Oil Company. Mr.. Archbcld
mas an estate at Thomasyille. but he
finds time to experiment with things
local to Georgia and his experiment
with the sweet potato reads like a
Jules Verne story come true.
In 1915 he planted one hundred
acres in sweet potatoes. I know this
because the man who bought the mil
lion draws told NE aobut it. \ thou
sand dollar check for potato plants is
some order The planting vas late
July. After planting Mr.. Archbold
erected a drying house, costing some
thing like a thousand dollars.
When the crop was gathered, the
potatoes were put in crates in the
field and then wagoned to the drying
house where they were dried by heat
ing the building with common sheet
iron stove and at a temperature OF
about 90 to 100 degrees for several
days.
The crop gathered was just about
5000 bushels. less than it ought to
have been but the late planting IS
said to be the cause for the low yield.
But it is said that only two bushels
Of potatoes were lost by spelling. This
is remarkable saving when it is con
sidered the average loss by banking
runs 33 per cent.
The crop was sold for an average
Of IS cents per bushels. $3.50 gross
receipts for one hundred acres.
How about this compared with cot
ton? For the season Of 1915 there was
a greater yield and the average price
obtained was $1.25 per bushei with
the same loss by spelling.

vestigate this proposition. Mr., Arch

because they need the money. Mr..

DamocIea, sword.

The virtues of the railroad shares
have been told so many times to spec
ulators and investors and the shares
have had so many false starts that 1t
is hard to work up enthusiasm in that
department. But two arguments that
perhaps are more conducive to higher
prices eventually are now being offer
ed by persons who pay more attention
to technical market conditions than to
earnings and dividends. These bTok-
ers declare that no matter how large
earnings and dividends may be, stocks
cannot advance unless they are In
strong technical position. They have
maintained all along that the rails
could not advance with Great Britain
and Germany steadily appearing in
the market as large sellers of these
issues. This liquidation has been COM
pared with Damocles' sword and has
been hanging over the heads OF rail-
road investors since the beginning OF
