ALLIES IN A CLASH
over PREPARATION
UNITED STATES MUST TAKE
SIDES BETWEEN BRITAIN AND
FRANCE. SUPPORT BRITISH.

PARIS.-The American peace
commissioners, in pursuance of their
effort to hasten the conclusion of a
preliminary treaty of peace, have
found themselves in a position where
they must take sides on the conflict
ing views of the British and French
regarding the reparation to be exact
ed from Germany, upon which the
whole settlement hinges.
The British feel that in order to
secure the great sum of money to
be demanded of the Germans the
latter must be enabled to receive
at the earliest possible moment food
and raw materials, and even credits
with which to start business again,
so that out of the proceeds of that
business they might pay their debts.
The French do not believe that the
German business interests should be
permitted to get back into their pre-
war activity until the stricken bust
ness interests of France and Belgium
have at least caught up with them.
They lear that otherwise Germany
Will be able to regain possession of
the worlds markets in her old lines.
The Americans, it is understood.
have decided finally to adhere to the
British position, which appears likely
to be the one to be adopted.

If you wake up with a bad taste. furred

liver is the most important, also the

resort to violent calomel, which is a
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can. only be used occasionally because
it accumulates in the tissues also

Every man and woman, sick or

Limestone phosphate does not re-

How to Increase Sweet Potato Yields
. BY J. A. CIintock, Plant PathoIogist


! of mercury. Plants from these two
lots were set in new land, in compar-
| lson with two lots of plants purchas-
ed from commercial plant growers,
who had raised their plants from seed
taken from banks and bedded without
selection or treatment.
At the time the four lots of plants
were being set in the field it was OBJ
served that those from selected seed
were well developed and free from
rotten spots on the shanks and roots,
while many of the plants from the
commercial plant growers were spind-
ly, and had rotten spots and mold on
their shanks and roots.
Each lot of plants was set by it.
self on the new land, and all four
lots were given the same fertilization
and culture.
! About month after the plants
! had been set in the field they were
inspected and notes were taken rela-
tive to the number of living plants,
which might be expected to produce
! hills of potatoes. The two lots from
carefully selected seed had 80 per
cent. of a stand, that is 80 plants
had lived in each 100 set out.
With the two lots from selected
seed the results were quite different.
| In one lot 80 per cent. of the plants
died, while of the others over so per
cent. died.
This latter case occurs in fields all
over Georgia. The remaining plants
cover the ground with their vines, and
the loss is not noticed until harvest
time, when a low yield is obtained.
With 30 to so per cent. of the
plants dead within one month from
! the time they were set out in the
field, one can readily see that the
yields would be only two-thirds and
one-half, respectively, of what they
should have been if all the plants
had lived and produced hills of po-
| tatOes.
Much of this loss can be avoided,
and greater yields per acre obtained
i if farmers and commercial plant
growers will select sound, healthy
sweet potatoes for seed, and destroy
the rotten potatoes instead of put
| time to select enough healthy pOta-
toes for seed and you will see the re-
suits in an increased yield, which will
well repay the time used in selecting
good seed.
Growers who wish to take the extra
precaution of treating their seed may
obtain directions for so doing by
writing to the Plant Pathologist,
Georgia Experiment Station, Expert
ment, Georgia.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1919-03-11


The state of Georgia does not raise
enough sweet potatoes to supply her
own people. This may surprise you
and yet it is quite evident that the
majority of the people have few
sweet potatoes to eat after December.
Why is this the case? First, because
an insufficient crop is raised at pres
ent, and second, because about so
per cent. of the potatoes raised are
lost through poor methods of hand
ling and storage
1t is not lack of acreage, but the
small yield per acre that causes the
present shortage. According to gov
eminent statistics this state produces
an average of 50 bushels per acre.
Some farmers in Georgia, however,
raise from 200 to 300 bushels per
acre, fact which demonstrates that
it is possible to produce better yields
than the present acreage would midi
cate.
Experiments conducted at the
Georgia Experiment Station, and at
other places in the state, prove that
one reason for the low yield is the
poor stand due to the diseased plants
being set in the field The diseased
plants or draws come from diseased
seed potatoes. therefore the remedy
for this lies in selecting for seed
sweet potatoes which are free from
all diseased or rotten spots.
In the spring of 1918 test was
conducted as follows:
One lot of seed was taken from
sweet potatoes which had been stor-
ed in a regulation, heated storage
house, care being used to select on
ly sound potatoes free from rotten
spots. These potatoes were treated
in bichloride of mercury, and bedded
in clean sand. A second lot of seed
was selected as above and bedded
in sand without treating in bichloride

The final session developed an ami

old fashioned birch rod.
Young America is growing to be
young barbarian and a bolshevik
in embryo" declared Principal Frank
S. Fosdick, of the Masten Park high
school, Buffalo, N. Y, in opposing
sparing of the rod. He threw his
manuscript aside and spoke freely,
declaring that "the daddies and mann
mas of America are fast becoming
bossees-you know who is boss"
Devereaux Blake, principal of a

side of the argument and said:
