Eermany's Bio Mists Ike,

The distinguished Danish vegets-
rian, DR.. NJ Hindhede, has made the
interesting discovery that Germany
owes her downfall to the pig. In
1914 she had over 25000,00o pigs to
feed. For the first five months Of
the war Strengthening was discouraged,
at the cost of enormous reserves of
foodstuffs. Early In 1915 this policy
was reversed, and by April the num-
her of pigs had been reduced by 35
per cent. Then reaction In favor
of pigs set in, and their numbers
were kept at about 70 per cent of the
pre-war figure. Not till late il 1917
and early in 1918 was the fatal y of
this mistake realized, and then i, was
too late. Doctor Hindhede argues
that Denmark avoided starvation by
killing her pigs early.

Under the new law the only game
that can be shot from an airplane is a
whale. Also it is still permissible to
lombard whales from buzz wagons or
motor launches. The whale has few
champions among the game Iawmak-
ers, says the Los Angeles Times. Any
one stumbling on the fresh spoor of
a whale is permitted to plug the animal
on sight with whatever artillery he
may have on hand. Why the whale
should be thus marked for slaughter
is not explained. Left to itself the
whale is perfectly harmless beast,
having no grudge against any man.
They will not even bite a loan shark
unless provoked. There is 10 reason
why they should be left at the mercy

brate the week set aside for being kind

The Sniper's Bag of Tricks

group of U. S. army "snipers," the de-
ed lessons in trickery and shooting
magic, taught all allied sharpshooters in
great war, became known. Ingen-
a-- and scientific to a microscopic de-
gee, they reveal how technical, and yet
0rv fascinating, "sniping" became in
e progress of warfare.
Without a doubt the most dangerous
-sult in the war, sharpshooting was the

United States in the war the successes
of the Central Powers in Roumania
had reduced that country to most
tragic condition and in the summer
of 1917, the American Red Cross des-

once taken over ard operated by the
Red Cross, a canteen for the starving
refugees established and food and
clothing distributed over large area.
Transportation was one Of the

ADVERTISING'S POWER.

In its issue of October %, The
Dublin Courier-Herald carried an
eight page advertisement of the
Laurens Hardware Company and it
was so entertaining that we just sat
still and read it. This is like adver-
Using is done in the biggest cities and
is what makes cities grow large. We
have often said to timid merchants
during the past fifteen years that it
would surely come to pass in our day
that Yankees would not be the only
users of advertising.
The big chance has come within
the past two years. Maybe it is be-
cause the Government used so many
miles of newspaper inches for big
and serious work. Anyhow, all the
papers, big and little, are feeling the
change. Both farmers and merch-
ants are using the ad that travels
fastest and cheapest and stays at the
home of a possible customer until he
comes in, and the printed salesman
has endless patience and never for
gets its speech.-Irwinton Bulletin.

STORAGE RIOTS OF
SWEET POTATOES

With the scarcity and consequent
high price. of all food stuffs. It he
comes more important that we take
special care in Aharvesting and stor-
ing the sweet potato crop. With a
little care sweet potatoes can be kent
until spring with almost no loss. but
carelessness in one essential NAV
cause the whole lot to decay.
Kots OF sweet potatoes in storage
are caused by various fungi; but the
most common form in this region Is
the "black rot'' or "black spot"
caused by fungus, Sphareonema
hmbriatum &c. & H. SAGE. This
Fungus is present to some extent in
nearly all our soils and consequently
some infected roots are nearly ALWAYS
found in the field.
The decay begins as a small. cir
cular, black, sunken spot which en-
larges until an inch or more in diam
eter. 1t gives the potato an unsightlv
appearance and produces a bitter
flavor throughout, making the potato
unit for market; and it also allows
the entrance of other fungi which
cause a more rapid decay, but which
can not enter through the sound sur
face of the potato. In the black SUM-
Ken spots are produced vast ouanti-
ties OF spores which are capable of
causing infection and decay of manv
other potatoes. A single one of these
spores may fall onto another potato
and, If the surface is moist. the spore
terminates and the mycelium, enter.
ing the potato, causes decay. If how
ever the surface of the optato is dry,
the spore does not terminate.
10 prevent loss from black rot it
is therefore important to: 1, prevent
the spores of the fungus getting onto
the potatoes; and 2, keep the surface
Of the potato dry so that any spores
which are present can not terminate.
Where one has potato house pro-
perry constructed for curing, these
two conditions may easily be obtain
ed by observing a few simple princi-
pies in regard to harvesting and stor-
ing.
Digging should be done, if possible,
IN bright sun-shiy weather; and the
potatoes should lie in the field until
their surface is perfectly dry. Every
potato which has the smallest black
spot or sign of decay should then be
sorted out and only the sound ones
placed in the bins. The potatoes
should never be washed before stor-
ing.
A few days before digging time the
potato house should be thoroughly
disinfected. For this purpose use for
maldehyde in water at the rate of
gallon of formaldehyde to 100 gal
Ions of water. This solution should
be sprayed onto all surfaces of the
bins, as we'll as onto the floors and
walls of the house, until thoroughly
wet. The house should then be closed
tightly for twelve hours or longer.
After storage curing must be con-
tinued until all free moisture is dry
en- from the bins.
Some of the other forms of decay
often cause greater loss than the
black rot; but they will cause little
trouble where the above mentioned !,
precautions are taken.
Without potato house it is more
difficult to control the moisture after
