PLANS FOR POTATO
CURING HOUSE HERE

Plans have been received at the Of
fees of the Americus and Sumter
County Chamber of Commerce for the
guidance of planters who desire to
erect sweet potato curing houses on
their plantations this year.
Only one set Of blue prints and speci-
fications has been received thus far,
but several sets are expected within
the next few days, and farmers desir-
ing to secure them will be able to do
so without difficulty. The plans are
sent out by the State College of Agri-
culture and have been drawn up by ex-
perts who have made an exhaustive
study of the situation.
The increased production of sweet
potatoes is one of the principal fea-
lures of the food production campaign
now being agitated in the South. Hith-
erto the sweet potato industry has
been bampered by the lack of facilities
for successfully curing and saving the
potatoes, but with the new curing
houses on each plantation, this crop is
expected to become one of the most
profitable in this section.

MANY FARMERS To.
REPLANT COTTON

Many of the largest planters in Sum-
ter county are preparing to replant
their crops as the result of the. damage
done by the severe rain and hail storm
which swept this section on Friday OF
last week
On the E. B. Council plantation about
5 miles east of Americus, about 200
acres of cotton must be replanted, and
other crops are SO badly damaged as
to make it problematical whether or
not they will give any margin of profit
Arthur Rylander stated this morning
that on his plantation at East Point,
the damage done by the storm will
necessitate the replanting of his en-
tire cotton acreage. The heavy rains
washed the growing crops so badly
that not even the rows can be distin-
guished A fine rye patch almost ready
for harvest, was broken down to the
ground and cannot be cut even with a
moving machine.
Many plantations in the 28th district
o" the county and several in the east
ern section beyond the Rylander place
have been hard hit by the storm, and
replanting will be resorted to as soon
as the ground dries out somewhat.
The lateness of the cotton crop in
certain sections of Sumter county caus-
&c by the replanting after the storm is
expected to materially affect the yield
on account of the activity of the boil
weevil which will have an excellent
opportunity to damage the crop late in
the season.

RAILROADS CLAIM A
Loss IN EARNINGS

WASHINGTON, D. c., May East
ern railroad representatives at a
hearing before the Interstate Com
nerce commission here today said that
the Is per cent. increase in freight
rates sought would fall $75,000,000
short of the total of $217 100000 in
crease in 1917 operating expenses over
those of 1916. The statement of the
Eastern railroads which is to be fol-
lowed by similar declaration on behalf
of southern and western lines say the
ccst of coal, wages and material has
of the lines cannot keep pace with the
advanced so rapidly until the incomes
increase. Shippers counsel have in
formed the commission they are pre-
pared to oppose granting of the in
creased rates.

TWO ALLIED WAR
BODIES To CARRY
ON MANY PLANS.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May IA plan
is being worked out to have two al
lied war commissions sitting contin-
uously, one in London and the other
here. The idea sprang from the gem
eral trade meeting in the Office of Sec
retary Lansing last week.
Although not definitely decided upon
it is likely the first step of the war
commission here will be to coordinate
the resources of the United States and
Great Britain in prosecution of the
war, while the commission sitting in
London, with representatives of all the
allies present, including the United
States, will decide upon the apportion.
ment of seaborne traffic. The commits
sion here would also manage the task
of getting supplies to the seaboard for
shipment abroad.
