PREVENT SWEET POTATO RIOTS.
Increase Production, Decrease Loss.

Increase Production, Decrease Loss.
Clemson College.-Sweet potato rots
take toll from two to four million
dollars every year from South Caro-
lima, and as the time approaches for
bedding, the way in which some OF the
more troublesome of these diseases
get into the field should be kept in
mind.
Black rot, foot-rot, and scurf live
over winter on the potatoes in storage.
When potatoes affected with these
troubles are used for seed, the dis
eases get on the sprouts and are car
ried directly to the field. Seed pota-
toes should therefore be carefully Sc
lected and no tuber used whose sur
face shows any sign at all OF black
ened or discolored areas.
These diseases also live over from
one season to the next in the old beds.
The potatoes should therefore be bed
ded each year in new place where
potatoes have never been grown or
bedded before.
These diseases are so common that
it is almost impossible to secure pota-
toes entirely free from all Of them.
Therefore, it is we'll to soak the tubers
30 minutes in a solution Of formaline
made by adding one pint Of formaline
to 30 gallons Of water. This treat
ment, which will destroy any disease
germs which happen to be on the sur
face of the potatoes, can be made at
any time before planting, provided the
potatoes are allowed to dry and are
stored in bags CT bins which have
been similarly treated.
Bv selecting and treating your seed
potatoec you can increase your pro-
duction and at the same time make
the potatoes keep better next winter

URGES FARMERS TO
BUY VICTORY BONDS

In urging farmers to buy Victory
bonds, G. 1. Christie, assistant secre-
tary Of the Department of Commerce,
predicts there will be a big demand
for grain and other American prod
ucts.
when the armistice was signed,
said Mr.. Christie, ait was thought
that the armies would be demobilized
and the people of Germany. Austria
Hungary and the other countries of
central Europe would take up work
in large numbers on the land. They
have not done so. Due to the unstable
and unsettled conditions, the people
have been slow to return to their
regular occupation. The result will
be q demand for American grain
and products at good prices"
In the past, says Christie, the farm
ers have responded we'll to the sup
port and serving of their country.
After buying bonds the farmer
may use them for collateral in bor-
rowing money for farm operations"
Mr. Christie suggests. THE farmers
in 1918 produced 35,00O,0O0 acres
more crops than ever were grown in
any previous year. By investing in
Victory bonds they are rendering =
patriotic service and at the same time
helping themselves to do their work
in a better way"

Communication LAM in
Hungary Ended By ROw
In Family of Minister
By JKAN KNOTT

BUDAPEST, April 30-ThrouRh a
family quarrel Hungary escaped hav-
ing its women "communized" after
the fashion in the Russian "repub,
lie" OF Saratoff, rather than through
adherence of Bella Kun TO the scheme
he afterward stated.
The law to communiBe women act
ually was framed and in the printers
hands when Herr Weltner, one OF
the cabinet ofsyogng men who are
now ruling the former kingdom, went
home for supper. During the meal he
told his wife and his mother-in-law
in glowing terms about the projected
reforms
"what are you doing for women %
they asked.
Weltner then explained that in fu-
tuTe women would be free, too; that
they would be permitted to choose
their own husbands and discard them
II they liked by the simple process ol
paying a few cents for a legal paper
declaring their ''unfftness" for mar
ried life.
And Husbands, TSO.
Further conversation developed the
fact that the new law also gave hus-
bands the same right; that children
might be turned over to the care of
the state, so that both husband and
wife would get rid OF the duties and
responsibilities Of rearing their own
offspring.

can get rid of me from one day to
another and the next day marry IL you

cations are that considerable con-

General Burleson Is expected to have
recommendations as to this. Some
Republicans said, however, that
BurleSon's figures are unlikely to be
accepted without an Independent tn
vestigstion TO see what is just and
fair, both to the companies and TO the
taxpayers.
Sentiment for continued Govern
ment control Of the wires has, for the
present AZ least, practically disap-
Deared. Congressmen generally de-

: That's how the law stands" replied
the husband.
Then the storm broke Both wife
and mother-inlaW began to scream
and frenzied scene ensued, the up
shot OF which was that the women
demanded that Weltner should get
the law stopped. or they would leave
him at once and would, moreover, get
all the wives, mothers. and mothers
in-lsw Of all the ministers to do the
same.
WeltReP weakenst Law Gees
Weltner, in the interest Of his home
comfort and peace, eventually prom
ised to do his best and use his infiu-
ence with his fellow members through
his paper. the Peoples Voice, to get
the law rescinded.
He went to the telephone and had
conversation with Bella Kun and otheI
ministers, and then called up the
printers, telling them that no proofs
needed to be pulled" from the forms
where the law lay. He also ordered
that the type should be melted up and
the copy destroyed.
1t was thus that the law died.

PORTO RICO P|QUED
At Cannon SPEECH

Because Uncle Joe" Cannon in .
speech at a function given by Porto
Rican legislators at San Juan told the
Porto Ricans flatly that they would
get neither Statehood nor independ-
ence, members of the House Commit
tee on Insular Affairs had to spend
considerable Of their time in the re-
cent visit to the ISLANDS smoothing
down tho injured feelings OF the
islanders.
This is the version Of the matter
given by some of the members of
the committee who have just returned
from their visit to Porto Rico.
II appears that some elements of
the native population are asking in
dependence and others are asking
Statehood. While the speeches made
by the American visitors generally
were diplomatic, Uncle Joe" was
more blunt and outspoken. This vas
not at all liked by the Porto Ricans.
and some OF the newspapers of the
island cartooned the former Speaker
as fierce-lOOking individual with
bristling whiskers bearing a bou-
quet of thOrns.
Nevertheless. Uncle Joe" IN his
speech said practically what was said
few days earlier by Senator Ken
yon, who visited the island just ahead
Of the House InsuIar Committee.
Senator Kenyon refused to encour-
age any notion OF independence, and
told the Porto Ricars they ought TO
be glad OF the opportunity to work
out Their destiny Under the Stars and
Stripes
The coming session OF Congress will
consider legislation needed to bene-
fit commercial and Industrial condi-
tions on the island. but there is no
indication whatever that either State
hood or independence will be allowed.
