The Storing Of Sweet Potatoes
T. II. Mediation, Professor OF Horti-
culture, State College of Agri.

Ohe of the greatest problems that
will confront the nation this year will
be the storage of crops after they are
produced 1t is an easy matter for
the Georgia farmer to grow sweet
potatoes. 1t is a very common crop
and one that is grown extensively
throughout the state The problem of
holding this crop over for winter use
is vital question at this time
Storing in hills and pits is not very
practicable. We cannot afford to lose
this year the potatoes that normal
ly rot under such conditions
The most approved method of sweet
potato storing is to harvest the crop
as soon as it is mature, to thoroughly
grade the potatoes, throwing out all
the bruised, injured or rotting ones.
These may be Immediately used either
on the table or fed to hogs, if they are
not fit for table use. The good pota-
toes should then be carried to a stor-
age house. This storage house should
be made with. dead air space in the
walls and with a double roof The
potatoes are carried into this house
and put on trays or bins in the sides
of the house A stove is in the cen
ter of the sweet potato room and the
temperature is brought to from 80 to-
100 degrees, where it is held for a
week or 10 days until the potatoes
have gone through their sweat. After
this the fire is allowed to go out and
the temperature is kept between so
and so degrees. This may necessi-
tate fire being built in the stove
from time to time during the winter
1t may be rather early for this in
formation to be given out, but now is
the time for the Georgia farmer to
think about the conservation of mis-
food supplies through the winter
The sweet potato house should be built
before the crop is harvested.

VERY POOR LIQUOR SELLING AT
81 TO Se A QUART IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA, Ca, June Very poor
liquor is now selling for 81 to Sc Il
quart in Atlanta, and is not easy 20
get even at that enormous price. Ofic-
ials say the bone dry law and the war
time prohibition sentiment have COM
bined to make it scarce.
Another reason for the advance in
price is said to be the falling off in
the supply of moonshine corn liquor
from the mountains of north Georgia
The people of that section have always
felt that they had as much right to
made liquor out of their corn as to
make bread out of it.
But when the patriotic argument
was put up to them that the country
needs all the food it can get to win
the war, they responded Immediately.

A pIsGRACEFUD SITUATION.

| Senator Thomas HardWick has once
moro succeeded in mastering enough
/ strength in the upper house of Con
gress to prevent the endorsement o.
Judge Whipple. nominated by Presi-
dent Wilson to succeed the late W. w.
Iambdin on the bench of the, federal
court in the southern district of Geor-
gia.
Ever since the untimely death OF
Judee' I!ambdin several months ago,
the unseemly squabbling and brawling
INDUCED in by the senators from Geor
GA over the selection of his successor
in Office, has been disgusting almost to
the point of nausea. The names OF
several men whose qualifications as
iurists have been unquestioned, whose
personal records have been free from
stain, have been presented to the presi~
dent and he has signified his willing
ness to appoint any one of them who
might secure the favorable considera
ton and endorsement Of the senator's
from Georgia. To a man these appli-
cants have been refused consideration
at the hands of either the senior or
the junior senator First Smith and
then Hardwick found some reason
which to them seemed strong enough
TO warrant their opposition to the APP
pointment in question.
The men whom it appears they
would be willing to endorse to fill
Judge Lambdin's place, have been men
whose political activities have endear-
ed them to the senatorial delegation
AS to practical qualifications for the
federal bench, they have been woefully
lacking and the administration officials
are fully cognizant of this fact
The appointments to the federal
bench are fraught with too much
meaning to the citizenry of Georgia to
be made opportunities for re-payins
political debts or for adding new cogs
to political machines. The blatant at
tempts of both senators to block the
appointment of able men on account OF
motives based ON purely personal
grounds, constitute a source of cha
grin to Georgians who blush to see
their representatives in the halls of
Congress display traits of character
which stamp them as men whose cali
bre has been greatly over-estimated
It is high time politicians stopped
playing ducks and brakes with federal
judgeship appointments.

Typhoid Fever.

| AS the cause of death, typhoid
stands fourth in the United States. Fu-
+ berculosis comes first, then pneumonia,
cancer and typhoid The average fatal
Try from typhoid is about 1919. In
1910 there were 10000 deaths from ty-
Dhoid in the United States represent
| ing about 100000 cases one person in
every 400.
Our general attitude toward the dis
ease is inconsistent-fam has
bred a remarkable indifference to the
disease. 1t is regarded as more or
less necessary evil On the contrary it
! is one of the most preventable of dis
eases.
| quote the following from DR.. Ros-
eyau, of Harvard University. He was
formerly director of the Hygienic Lab
oratory at Washington, and is regarded
as the foremost authority on prevent
i've medicine in the United States; 'Ev-
cry case of typhoid fever means a
short circuit between the alvine dis
charges of one person and the mouth
of another. The physician has dual
duty in the care of a case of typhoid
fever; one is to assist the patient and
the other is to protect the community.
Or the other hand, the people should
learn the lesson that a case of typhoid
fever should be, regarded as seriously
as a case of cholera. These two dis
eases present many features in com
mon. Both are intestinal infections,
due to bacteria, in both diseases the
alvine discharges contain the micro
organisms which infect another per
son Vh n taken by the mouth. Both
diseases prevail especially in hot
weather, both are peculiar to man. so
that the patient is the fountain head
of each infection. Water, food, fin
gers and flies play similar role in

ment must receive an average sub
scription of $1,000 from each of two
million persons. But the average will
be much below that. If there are less
than five million subscribers to the
first bond issue, it will be failure as
test of patriotism.
But if the FIVE million persons sub
scribe the average of the subscriptions
will be $4O0. 1t is obvious, therefore,
that a good many thousands of people
must buy the bonds in the small DOM
nation of $50 and $500.
The small amounts should come out
of current savings if the loan is to at
tain the great success. Past savings,
evidenced by credit accounts in savings
banks, should be used only to limited
extent or, preferably, not at all. The
funds of savings banks, in bank par
lance, are not liquid They are in the
form of bonds of various kinds and so
compose a large part of the fixed Cap
i.al of the country. Extensive demands
on the savings banks would force the
liquidation of these securities and so
dislocate the bond market and, of
course, the money market The loan
is therefore, to be subscribed for ut
o. current and future savings.
1t is more than likely that business
VIII be very good if the loan is popul-
arly subscribed. The factories and
mills will be busy on all sorts of orders
from the government There is a short
age of all kinds of supplies. Labor
will be freely employed and the demand
for it is likely to be only partly salts
, fed The people who should subscribe
to the loan will, therefore, have the
finds with which to meet the payments
But it is a great deal of money that is
wanted. 1t is 800 for every man. wo-
man and child in the United States
That means $100 for each family. Ant
that means that hundreds of families
who will respond to the demand viii
