Not Wheat But
Potatoes the Staff Of Life

The experience of European belliger-
ents in the present war proves the
statement that "the potato is the staff
of life," since people have worked and
fought on diet of meat and potatoes.
Even before the war the chief diet of
many peasants consisted of potatoes.
Georgia shows marked deficit in the
production of this valuable crop. In
fact the requirements in Irish pota-
toes exceeds the annual production by
17,750,O0 bushels; of sweet potatoes,
by 1O,950,OO0 bushels. The farmers
of the state can easily treble or qua

druple the present production of
sweet potatoes; only they hesitate be-
cause they fear they cannot store them
successfully. Usually the fue system
of curing gives very good results.
While entirely desirable, the small
farmer will hardly be able to erect a
curing house, even though the Col
lege of Agriculture supplies plans and
specifications without cost. AS mat

The bride, Miss Mable Couvillon,

for several years and is universally
beloved and esteemed by our people.
She is young lady of deep intellect

REGISTRATION DAY IN IEMSAS.

As was to be expected, registration day
passed off quietly throughout the parish,
not one single disturbance having been
reported. The most satisfactory thing
connected with registration day was the
cheerful manner in which the darkies
came forward, each, not only willing,
but very anxious to do his part, to do his
duty as a patriotic American citizen.
Boys twelve years of age and old men, as
old as eighty-five years of age, presented
themselves to be registered and all who
were denied registration on account OF
not being within the required ages, went
home seriously disappointed, but de-
termined to come again in the event that
another registration should be made.
We have not heard of single "slacker"
in the Parish. We congratulate the peo-
pie of Tensas on the patriotism shown by
all of her citizens The total registration
was 90l, of which lis were whites.
While this is smaller number than the
Government estimated for Tensag, basing
the estimate on the census of 1910, it
must be remembered that our population
has fallen off since the census was taken,
and when the darkies begin to move, the
first to go are generally the young men
between the ages of Is and 80, so taking
this into consideration, our showing was
very good and probably up to our full
strength.
