INCREASE ACREAGE OF SWEET
POTATOES IN THE SOUTH
Cost Less to Plant-Produce More
Food Per Acre than Irish Po-
tatoes.

Washington, D. c., May Seed
to plant an acre of Irish potatoes
cost about $40 this spring. Seed
sweet potatoes will not cost more
than 81 per acre where vine cuttings
taken from early-set plants are used.
The yield of sweet potatoes per acre
is usually greater than that of Irish
potatoes and as a food they are as
nutritious. Sweet potatoes may be
grown throughout the Southern
States and, of course, in certain
other sections. Specialists in the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture are
urging an increased acreage of this
crop wherever it 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, a farma ar
who wishes to plant 10 acres will
bed seed enough-say 8 to 10 bush
els-to get slips for one acre. Vine
cuttings from this acre would plant
many more acres, paintings being
possible until the first of August in
the lower South. This system, now
widely used in the South, enables
the 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 trans
fer of diseases which are carried on
the tubers.

CLIP THIS AND PIN
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel
Up Corns or Calluses SO They
Lift of With Fingers.

Ouch !?!?!! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town
if people troubled with corns will
follow the simple advice of hits Gin
cinnati authority, who claims that a
few drops of drug called freezone
when applied to a tender, aching
corn or hardened callus stops sore
ness at once, and soon the corn or
callus dries up and lifts right off
without pain. >.
He says freezone dries immedi-
ately and never inflames or even ir.
ritates the surrounding skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very lit
tie at any drug store, but will posi-
lively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. Mil
lions of American women will well
come this announcement since the
Inauguration of the high heels. If
your druggist. doesn't have freezone
tell him to order small bottle for
you.-Adv.

cOKER SCORES BOARDING OF
FOODS IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Columbia, s. c., May 2.-David R
Coker, Chairman OF the State Pre-
paredness Commission, in a state
ment issued today, discourages the
idea Of boarding food in South Car
olina. He says that this practice
should be discouraged in every way
possible. He issued the following
statement to the people Of the state :
"The attention of our Commission
has been called to the fact that q
few Of our people are boarding food
stuffs. We know Of few instances
where citizens have bought sufficient
staples such as -four, corn meal, etc.,
to last them for six months or more.
This practice should be discouraged
in every way possible. By such
means the food stringency is made
more acute, prices are artifcially
advanced, and of course, the poor
are made to suffer.
"The great interest and enthusi-
astic cooperation manifested all
over the state leads the Civic Pre-
paredness Commission to believe that
he, campaign for increased produc-
ton will result in very largely re-
lieving the foodstuffs shortage in
South Carolina by early fall. Even
now thousands of families are get
ting large part of their living from
their gardens, and waste of food
stuffs is the exception instead Of the
rule.
eve do not think there is occasion
for anyone to become panicky. Each
citizen should buy and use as little
food as possible. Food boarding and
food speculation under present con-
ditions are against the public inter-
est"

Washington, May 5.-There was
4 time in the country's history when
military enumerators, backed by bay
onets, went out among the people OF
take a compulsory service census.
Today, under the principle of uni
versal liability to service, the execu-
ton of the law is put into the hands
Of the people.
The approval of the new national
army bill and the presidents procla-
nation Hereunder will be coincident
An persons within the age limits
prescribed will be required to pre-
sent themselves for registration at
the customary voting places in the
voting precincts in which they have
their permanent homes, on day
which the president will announce.
The probability is that from ten to
fifteen days will elapse between ap-
proval of the bill and registration
day.
The governor of each state will be
the chief of registration therein. The
machinery of registrations in each
county is to be in charge of the
sheriff. the county clerk, the county
physician, acting ex-oficio, unless a
different shall be announced by the
governor. In cities containing popu-
lations of more than 10000 the reg
istration will be under control of
the mayor and selected boards of
registration. In order that the de-
xignated county and city officials and
the people generally can get clear

did not do before I took Tanlac," "
declared Mrs. A. ]. Thompson, of

took Tanlac, everything I ate caused

puffed up at meals. I also felt tired
and worn out and I was so weak l
just had to drag myself around. I
was also troubled with nervousness
and headaches.
"Since taking the Tanlac I sure
do feel well and strong, and I tell
my friends if they want to feel
smart and lively, just take Tanlac.
1t sure was fine medicine for me
and it got my nerves in fine shape,
relieved the headache and certainly

The South 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 i'm
pressed with the necessity of increas-
ing his acreage of this crop, and
then, when harvest comes, to pre-
vent the enormous loss from i'm
proper handling and storing. The
best way to keep sweet potatoes is
to store them in well-ventilated stor-
age houses, not "dugouts." Storage
houses should be made ready as
soon as possible. In Farmers Bull
letin 54S, "Storing and Marketing
Sweet Potatoes" instruction for
building such houses and for con-
verting old and unoccupied buildings
are given.
