be fired" too, no one seems to
know.

nave already been organized in this
section of the county. Among the
leading clubs are the ones in the

Agent Niesley to purchase eight or
nine pure-bred pigs to place In their

Most of the communities in which
pig clubs are started do not have
pure-bred livestock, and through the
cooperation of the farmers bows
and girls it has been possible to get
started a large number of pure bred

will not only mean increased pork and

TIME TO PREPARE FOR
INCREASED WHEAT ACREAGE

bread. Wheat is as necessary as bull

demands an increase in the acreage
planted In wheat for 1919. Now is the
time to begiG planning for next years
program.
Farmers should select the land to
be planted to wheat, and thoroughly
prepare the seed bed. The yield per
acre is as important as the acreage,
hence the Importance Of selecting the
farm land best adapted to wheat and
the procuring of good seed free from
disease and weed seeds. All seed
euspected of having smut should be

STORAGE WILL SAVE
SWEET POTATOES
Proper Storage Houses Should be
Built to Care for the crop.-Inport-
ant Product Has Been Poorly Han.
died and Big Waste Results-car
Be Avoided.

Columbia.-The proper storage Of
sweet potatoes is one Of the most i'm
portant food conservation measures
that can be put into effect in South
Carolina, and is urged by the Food
Administration. No perishable pro
duct grown in this State is more i'm
portant than the sweet potato, and
none, as a rule, is so poorly handled
according to United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture experts. To keep
this crop in good condition the pota-
toes must be well matured before dig
ging, carefully handled, well dried, or
cured, after being put in the storage
house, and kept at uniform tempera-
ture after they are cured. The only
safe and practical method of storing
sweet potatoes is in a we'll built stor-
age house.
Suggestions on storing sweet pota-
toes, and detailed information on how
to construct suitable storage house,
are contained in Farmers Bulletin
970, recently published by the United
States Department of Agriculture, and
a copy of this bulletin may be had by
any interested person who will write
the Department at Washington and
make request for it.
Proper storage of sweet potatoes
after they have been grown is equal
ly as important as making the pota-
toes. It is good economy to build a
substantial place for keeping the
product, for then the chances Of loss
are greatly reduced, and storage
house will soon pay for itself. There
is no food to be I.asted these days,
and no one should take any chances
Of loss which can be avoided, says the
Food Administration
