STOP SWEET POTATO LOSSES

Sweet potatoes should be thorough
" ripe before digging. The grower
can determine if the potatoes are ripe
by cutting one in half and exposing
the cut surface to the air for a few
minutes. If the cut surface dries read
lily, the potato is mature and ready to
dig. In case of danger from frost in
jury, dig at once, regardless of stage
Of maturity.
After digging the potatoes should
be sorted into eating stock, seed, and
strings; each handled separately.
Careful handling is essential for stor-
ing with a minimum loss. Bruising
or breaking the spin with the finger
nails is responsible for a large amount
oft he loss in storage. If the haul
from the field to the storage house is
very long, spring wagon should be
used In no case should sweet pota-
tees be loaded in sacks, or loaded loose
ly in the bed of a wagon. Crates should
be used.
When storing sweet potatoes for
commercial purposes a specially con-
structed storage house should be pro-
vided.

What a pity that so many people past

HOW A FAMOUS POEM
WAS WRITTEN

Admirers of Sam Walter Foss' po-
EN-, "The House by the Side of the
Road" are many. But the story of its
writing is known to few. He was an
enthusiastic traveller, and on one of his
trips through England he came, at the
top of a long hill, to a little implanted
house set almost in the road, so near
it was. Near one side was a queerly
constructed sign post finger, pointing
to well worn path and sign: "Come
in and Have Cool Drink" Following
the path, he found in the side of the
bank, some distance from the house,
a spring of ice-cold water into which
a barrel had been sunk and above
which hung an old-fashioned gourd
dipper. And on a bench nearby-a
wonder-a basket of fragrant apples,
The states-graphic. (Brownsville, Tenn.) 1???-1984, 1918-08-30

with another sign: Help yourself. "
Seeming story, be went back to
TIE house and found a childless old
couple IN straitened circumstances,
with the rocky farm as their only
means of livelihood. But it was rich
il the delicious spring water and an
abundance of fruit; so the sign was
placed guiding to the water. and from
tie time Of the ripening of the first
Purple plum to the harvesting Of the
last red apple a basket of whatever
ffnit might be in season was placed
near, that everyone passing might
rest upon the hill and refresh himself.
The old gentleman explained that
they were too poor to give money, so
took this way to add their mite to the
wrld's well-doing.
The beautiful thought and its real
helpfulness so impressed Foss that he
immortalized with his pen the spirit
OF the ideal home:
'Let me live in my house by the side
of the road
Where the race of men go by;
They are good, they are bad, they are
weak, they are strong,
Wise, foolish; so am l.
Then why should l sit in a scorner's
seat
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me I've in my house by the side
of the road
And be friend to man."

NO HOG CHOLERA CURE KNOWN

The state veterinarian has been ham,
pered for some time in his work of
hog cholera control by the sale and
distribution of socalled hog cholera
remedies. These remedies are being
advertised and sold under gross mis-
representations.
Farmers have bought these socall-
ed remedies because they believed the
remedies could do everything claimed
for them in the advertisement and on
the labels. Thousands of dollars are
wasted every year by farmers in this
way. DR.. M. Jacob, state veterinarian
and Harry L. Eskew, state pure food
and drug inspector, in cooperation
with federal authorities propose to
wage relentless war against these
"hog cholera remedy venders."
One concern has recently distributed
advertising material wherein it is sta
ted that their "Hog powder has rec
ord of So per cent cures of hog chol-
era" To anyone who has had expert
ence with hog cholera it should be well
known that such representation is
untrue. Unfortupnately such an ad-
vertisement catches some innocent
people. The use of the remedy is fol-
lowed by the continued spread of hog
cholera within the herd and through
out the community as well.
Hog cholera can easily be avoided
BY proper vaccination and only in that
way.
