The new program of the Food Ad-
ministration is less specific but no
less definite than that of the last
IL months. Then the food admin
~istration was meeting one emergency
after another as it rose. This year
it will be a long, steady pull directed
TO the whole food situation and not
so much to particular commodities
After a years experience the Foo
Administration ia on a new footing
here and abroad. The ways have been
learned, the methods have been de-
veloped. The war conscience Is &C.

IN
STARCH AND SUGAR
|NSWEET POTATOES

It will be a matter OF information
to many persons, says the State Mar
keting Bureau, to learn that the U. s.
Bureau of Plant Industry has been con-
Quoting a series of experiments in con-
nection with the starch and sugar con-
tents of sweet potatoes. Il was learn
ed that the percentage of starch was
always highest, and the percentage of
sugar, lowest, in freshly dug potatoes.
The constancy Of the condition SEEM
ed to Justify the conclusion that, in
growing the sweet potato, the reserved
material exists essentially in the form
of starch, and that the appearance Of
sugar in considerable quantities oc-
ours only in storage, o. after the de-
structiop Of the leaves.
After giving detailed descriptions and
tables of analyses made after various
periods or growth of the root in the
u S. Journal Of Agricultural Research,
the experts of the Bureau come to the
conclusion that the changes occurring
in sweet potatoes in the ground during
the latter part of the growing season
proceed in regular and orderly man
ner. During the latter part of the Pc
Rod Of growth the composition of the
roots remains remarkably uniform, and
presents no striking or irregular fuc-
tuations. During this period the root
is chara crerized by high starch con-
tent and a low sugar content. TIL.
changes which occur later are asso-
ciated with the death Of the vines.
Prominent among these changes is the
accumulation of water in the roots as
result of the cessation of transpira-
ton, in consequence Of the destruction
of the leaves. With the termination Of
the flow of material from the vines the
carbohydrate transformations charac-
teristic of sweet potatoes in storage are
inaugurated. These changes consist in
the transformation of starch into su-
gar. Appreciable destruction of car
potatoes in the ground until after the
roots have been injured by frosts. BY
leaving them in the ground after the
crease.
II can scarcely be doubted that this
increased water content is detrimental
to the successful storage of the roots,
and causes them to be more subject to
decay than roots Of normal water con-
tent. On this account il is of utmost
importance that the harvesting OF |
sweet potatoes be not long DELAYED af- i
ter the leaveshav been killed. Ac-
cordingly the Bureau advises growers.
as a rule, to dig sweet potatoes when |
they have fully matured, or after they
have fully ripened. BY having proper |
storage houses the roots are much bet
ter for use than when left in the |
ground. Write to the State Expert |
mental Station. Gainesville, for plans

RECOGNITION DESERVED

In presenting their claims for higher salaries
to the. Board of Education, the primary teachers
of Pensacola recently called attention to the fact
that in other cities in the state these salaries
averaged $4,000, and in some instances were
as much as $4,000
In making her request, the spokesman voiced
the sentiment of those whom she represented
when she said that the teachers had come with
no complaints.
They wished, however, to call attention to the
fact that the primary principals were filing
dual role, that of both teacher and principal,
with many added duties, and as expenses were
heavier than they had ever been and salaries
in other cities were being raised, it seemed only
fair that the principals, whose living expenses
were also increasing, should receive higher
wage.
salary increase have been principals in the Pen
sacola public schools for number of years;
they have not only been most faithful in the
discharge of their duties, but are well fitted
for the positions they hold and have given them
selves to their work with devotion that is
worthy of recognition.
At this time when so many educators are
leaving for other and more remunerative fields,
there is great need for teachers who have been
trained to fill positions principals in the coun-
ty. But unless they are paid salary in some
measure commensurate with their ability, Es-
Gambia can hardly hope to retain their services.
All who have the education of the youth of
the county at heart and who wish to see the
schools of the county develop along with other
schools in the state will feel that the small salary
increase is well within reason and will hope that
the board may see its way clear to grant the
request.
