HARRY HART MINSTRELS

The Harry Hart Sterling Minstrels
will give nm entertainment in lIol-
yoke ON Wednesday evening, May 80.
The entertainment will be given under
the auspices of the Sterling and lIol-
yoke Red Cross Societies, the pro-
ceeds to be divided between the two
societies. This entertainment was
given at Sterling and was such a sue
cess that rcpiiition was called for.
The Sterling papers pronounce the
entertainment n great success. The
Evening Advocate says, "a perfect
scream from beginning TO end, per-
fectly balanced with good songs well
sung and novelties of substantial
order, was the minstrel show put on
Friday night at the Lyric thcatcr
under the direction of the Sterling
Chnptcr of the Red Cross.
"Neyer has home talent show
anywhere near comparison been put
on in this part OF the country. and
il is doubted il anything better has
been produced anywhere by amateurs
while many n so-cnllcd professional
troupe has failed to do nearly so
well Ms did the twenty Sterling young
women and fifteen local young men
con prising the Red Cross minstrels."
Besides coming so highly spoken
of by their home press. they come TO
iIoiyoke representing good cause
and will without doubt have n
crowded house.

LETTER FROM TINKER
(ocaleean Ensign)

Dear Sid: As you wished me to
write piece for your paper and
thinking perhaps it would be of inter-
est to my schoolmates to hear OF
whats have been doing since / left
them nearly eight months ago, I will
tell briefly of my travels:
On arriving, April 20, l reported
aboard the battleship Maine, which
was then in the navy yard acting as
a receiving ship. Here I spent two
weeks, which I shall always remem-
Der as it was my first experience on
a man-o-war.
/ next moved to the Primes Irene,
a German vessel which the United
States had interned. Here I stayed
nearly three months.
While on board this ship / started
to Pratt's Institute, to which the
government had made arrangements
to send part of the men who had en-
listed in the electrical branch of the
navy. After spending fifteen weeks
there, | was transferred to the naval
electrical school, which is located in
the navy yards.
In the meantime the electrical class
had been moved from the Primes
Irene to the Frederick De Crosse, an

slept on this ship and ate on the
Kaiser Wilhelm H., also a German
vessel.
After a period of two months we
were moved aboard the George Wash
ingbon, a very large German liner.
Here / only. slept, still eating on the
Kaiser Wilhelm H.
Since then have again been moved
to the city park barracks, where /
am still staying. They are very nice
" located for the enlisted men and
have al the conveniences one could
ask for. such as running water, hot
and cold. showers, canteen, soda
fountain. good mess halls. where we
ret good eats and fine medical atten-
ton.

in two weeks but don't know where
III be sent then. Perhaps it viii be
70 the the sub-school in Connecticut,
9 transport, or the feet. A soldier
and sailor never knows whittier he
goeth or when he returneth. But
wherever I go I shall always think
with happiness of my days with my
classmates at the o. Fl. S.

Increase the Acreage OF
Sweet Potatoes In
St. Mary's

Seed to plant an acre of Irish po-
tatocs cost about $40 this sprine.
Seed sweet potatoes will not cost
more than "a per acre where vine
cuttings taken from early-set plants
are used. The yield Of sweet pota-
toes per acre is usually greater than
that Of Irish potatoes and as food
they are as nutritious. Sweet pota-
toes may be grown throughout the
Southern States and, of course, IN
certain other sections. Specialists
in the u. $. Department Of Agri-
culture are urging an increased acre
age of this crop wherever il can be
easily grown.
Sweet potatoes, it is pointed out,
are the South's chief instrument for
a quick and effective increase Of the
food supply. Seed is plentiful; last
years crop was the second largest
ever produced. By means Of vine
cuttings it is possible to plant al
most unlimited areas of this crop
and at the same time conserve the
present supply. That is, farmer
who wishes to plant 10 acres win
bed seed enougb--say TO 10 bush
sls--to get slips for one acre. Vine
cuttings from this acre would plant
many more acres, plantings being
possible until the first Of August in
the lower South. This system, now
widely used 10 the South. enables
utilization Of land from which early
potatoes, cabbage and other truck
crops have been taken.
Sweet potatoes are not expensive
to grow. The main limiting factor
to the production Of vast quantities
by this plan is labor. Yields from
fields set with vine cuttings are as
large as from plants grown from
slips. This method has the further
advantage Of preventing the transfer
Of diseases which are carried on the
tubers.
The South's doesn't need to learn
how TO grow sweet potatoes, the
specialists point out. Farmers
know how TO produce large yields
Of this crop. But the farmer must
be impressed with the necessity Of
increasing bis acreage Of this crop,
and then, when harvest comes, to
prevent the enormous loss from im-
proper handling and storing. The
best way 10 keep sweet potatoes is
to store them in weIl-ventilated stor-
age houses, not "dugouts. . stor-
age houses shonld be made ready as
soon as possible. In Farmere' Bull
letin 54s, Storing and Marketing
Sweet Potatoes, instruction for
building such houses and for con-
verting old and unoccupied buildings
are given.
