CoIored Food Expert In
Consultation at Washington
Tuskegee Inst, Feb. Z

uSkeRee INST, eD.
Prof. George w. Carver. Di-
rector of Tuskegee Expert
ment Station. has just return
ed from Washington. D. c -,
where he went at the invita-
ton of the Department of
Agriculture, to demonstrate
the sweet potato products
which he has been expert
menting with successfully dur
ing the past year.
Professor Carver reports
that his meeting in Washing
ton was most encouraging and
states that it is the purpose of
:he government to make tu-
ture experiments with the
sweet potato to ascertain how
some of the Eighty eight pro-
ducts which he has worked
out may be used in connection
with the nation S program
of food economy.
Concerning the dried sweet
potato, one Of the products
which Professor Carver has
been experimenting with. lhe
Rural New-Yorker says:
prof. Geo. w. Carver of
Tuskegee Institute in Alaba
ma recently sent us samples OF
dried sweet potatoes, the first
we have ever seen. They
came in excellent condition,
and our people pronounced
them quite equal to the fresh
product when cooked. 1t was
only necessary to soak them
for a short time, and then cook
in the ordinary way. these
potatoes came in such excel
lent condition, and were so
near to the fresh product. that
it seems as if this preparation
of the sweets ought to become
great industry. 1t is posi-
bic to produce more food from
an acre Of sweet potatoes than
can be produced from any
other crop growing in this
country. and the very nature
ofthe sweet is such that unless
stored carefully it is short
wilIhnd it possible to develop
a great business in drying and
selling sweet potatoes.

ALSACE- LORRINE and AFRICA

conversation in Africa. This
was voicing not only contempt
for the French, but also cen

sought compensation in Afri
ca. and foued it. Out of Afri
ca today are pouring hundreds
of thousands of black fighters
loyal defenders of France,
who are striking terror to the
heart Of the hun. Out of Afri
ca are pouring supplies to sue
cor the people of France in
their fierce contest with Ger
many.
The first troops to pierce
the supposedly lmpregnable
German line we're African.
Among the most valiant and
dependable of the valiant
French troops are those from
Africa. The. restoration of
Alsace Lorrine will be accom-
plished through the valor of
African troops and the sup
plies that Africa affords.
Bismark's advice to France
though given in contempt,
has proven advantageous to
her, for Africa is not only com
pedsating France for the loss
of Alsace Lorrine. but is des
tined to play an important
part in this great world war.

THE COLONEL'S HARD LUCK.

Colonel Roosevelt is certainly playing
N hard luck After spending six years
IN pointing out to the public the weak
acsses of Woodrow Wilson, the Colonel
is forced to witness that much despised
usurper going to Europe to be acclaimed
the saver of democracy and treated with
acclaim by the greatest men OF the
European nations, including crowned
and uncrowned heads.
The Colonel had planned but, true to
the Rooseveltian instinct, had given his
plans to the newspapers as soon as
formed, a trip to France to visit the
grave of his son. No sooner had the
announcement been made than President
Wilson announces his intention of ac-
cepting the invitation of the rulers of
our allied countries to go to Paris and
visit the capitals of all of our Allies. 1t
