UNTOUCHED FIELDS FOR THE SOUTH

AS has been frequently said in these columns, the
people who have lived all their lives IN Georgia-and
that about SO per cent of the population in Sumter
county-itte realize the possibilities that exist for
exploiting Southern products in the north where they
cannot be produced and where they are almost un-
known.
concrete example of the truth of this oft-repeat-
ed statement appeared in the letter published in the
Sunday edition of the Times Recorder, from Arthur
D. Lowe, Sioux City, Ia, inquiring where he could
buy sweet potatoes for the market in large quantities.
Mr. Lowe is northern who joined the army dur
ing the war and stationed at Camp Gordon for six
months Apparently before that time he knew nothing
in reality of the South for he confesses that during his
stay at Camp Gordon he discovered the virtues of the
Georgia sweet potato. He found it such wonderful
creation of nature, and such an unusual article of
food that he probably wondered why had never been
marketed in his part of the country Like the present
writer, he probably was reared in the great prairie
country without seeing or tasting real Southern
yam before coming south, for the very good reason
that they shipped to that country and are
unknown.
The people of the south think that life would
scarcely be worth living without the yam but few of
them have considered the fact that the north and
west, which do not know the yam, would have the
same opinion of it, they properly introduced
to it.
Some day some firm is going to be enterprising
enough, having caught the vision strongly enough to
go into the sweet potato shipping business on large
scale-and make handsome profits from it, simply by
supplying to the people of the north and one of
the most wholesome articles of food grown as well
as one of the most palatable The field is virgin All
that is needed is the product and proper expoita-
ton 1t even appears, from Mr. loves letter that the
north will soon be here begging for them, without
waiting for to discover what field for profit
we have at our DOORS as yet untouched.

SELECT SEED POTATOES AT HARVEST

The custom of using as seed potatoes left from the
previous seasons crop, after having disposed of the
BEST must be discontinued if the present quality and
yield of the crop is to be materially improved say spe
calist of the United States Department of Agriculture
The grower cannot expect to get maximum yields from
inferior seed stock any more than the daryman can
expect to get maximum milk from scrub The best
time to select seed potatoes, according to the special
lists, is in the fall when the crop is being harvested
Then the yield of the individual plant and the quality
of the tubers can be considered.
Good seed pure in respect to the Variety is pro-
duced by healthy, vigorous, heavy-yielding plants

What Other Editors Say
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

The restoration of the death penalty in Missouri
by vote of to in the senate, after the house had
passed the bill by large majority, is probably symp-
tomato of general tendency throughout the country
toward stringent dealing with crimes of violence
There is swing away from lenency that has some
times amounted to feeble sentimentalty realization
of the need of drawing line between punishment that
primarily refomatory and that which remains chiefly
punitive and deterrent.
There is little danger of any return over severity
the savagery of earlier days We shall not 60 back

A Bit Of This and That
WILL INVESTIGATE "sCFT PORK"

The problem Of soft pork is of the most i'm
portant confronting the hog growers of the Uni
ted States. That a definite knowledge of this
question might be available congress has appropriated
$4,000 to be used by the United States Department
of Agriculture for study of this question 1t is the
intention of the department to make study regard
ing the effect of feeding both peanuts and soy beans
to hogs. Possibility of hardening hogs fed on those
feeds will be looked jnto to determine the maximum
amount that may be fed in conjunction with other feeds
and still produce hard pork The department hopes by
close study covering large number of hogs, and
era years time, to determine facts and solve
some problems that facing the American far
mer because of the reduced price paid at the central
markets for hogs supposed to be soft. Many of the
agricultural experiment stations cooperate closely with
the department in these studies.

Morris, an American, general superin-
tendent of the express system, and
Felipe Pescador, former general director
of the Mexican National Railways, was
ordered to-day by the District Court,
as the result of an investigation of

fairs of the railways
WASHINGTON, July 3o.-Reports of
graft in connection with operation of
the Mexican railways have been cur
rent for some months and have reached
the State Department.
The forms of graft charged included
the stripping of the cars of all their
woodwork and iron equipment. leaving
the wreckage on the tracks. Hundreds
OF these cars, it is reported, have been
discovered outside of Nuevo Laredo,
near the American boundary, and other

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-Return of

can troops have been withdrawn. in ac-
cordance with an agreement made by the
State Department with the French gov
ernment, Representative Porter, of
Pennsylvania, chairman Of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs, said
to-day.
Our government solemnly promised
to bring back our soldier dead, and has
confirmed that promise by asking the
next OF kin their wishes in the matter"
declared Mr.. Porter. ut is sacred
promise with those who gave their ALL
and must be kept"
In February. 1919, a bill was intro
duced in the French Chamber Of Depu-
ties to postpone the removal of all
bodies until three years after the sign
ing of peace, he said. The American
government protested and the French
government has taken no further action.
According to the testimony of General
March, it is entirely practicable to re-
move American soldier dead without the
use of the French railroads or in any
way disturbing the French people.
AS the result of sending an inquiry to
n 600 relatives of dead soldiers, the War
department. received 50 900 replies of

bodies, said Representative Porter,
