Store Potatoes and Sell When
Markets are Good.

Potatoes always bring the best
prices if they can be marketed in
baskets or boxes. 1t is almost i'm
possible to move them to market
in sacks without having a great
many bruised or broken. When
there is a large acreage it will pay
to investigate the advantage of
the sweet potato storage house.
The Florida crop too often sells
for less than its value because a
great many of the potatoes go on
to the market at digging time
These can be stored in sweet pc.
tato storage houses and distribu.
ted to the markets when prices arc
good.
The county agents and Exten
sion specialists will gladly co
operate with the farmers, furnish
ing information as to the proper
method of erecting the storage
houses, sizes, size of house requir
ed for any given quantity of pota
toes, etc.

Negro Preachers Study Better
Rural Practices.

After three weeks instruction
IN various phases of rural better
ment, 1875 Negro preachers from
rural districts in 16 States have
returned to their homes prepared
to transmit what they have learn
ed to the members of their congre-
cations. Under the auspices of
Cannon Theological Seminary
and the Board of Home Missions
of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South, corps of special instruc-
tors from Tuskegec Institute rep
reSenting the extension service of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, the Alabama Poly
technic Institute and the Tuskegee
Institute gave practical demon
strations in agricultural, domes-
tic and hygienic advancement.
According to the extension
workers, the preacher is the best
medium yet disclosed for reaching
effectively the country Negro.
Therefore the preachers were
taught the improved methods of
sanitation and improvement of
the home, church, and school
surroundings. They also learned
much about soils and their pro-
ductive power; how to build good
chicken houses; and the weaving

Sweet Potatoes Sell Best When
Properly Graded.

Decay in sweet potatoes, Wheth-
err in shipments or in storage houS-
es, is usually due to bruising and
cutting when the potatoes are
dug. The skin Of a ripe potato is
tough and fairly dry, and moIdS
and organisms that cause rot will
not attack a dry surface, but
when a potato is bruised or cut
and the inner surface laid open,
decay begins Immediately, at the
starch present makes it the most
favorable place for starting decay.
A. P. Spencer of the Extension
Division, College of Agriculture,
says that at the present prices it
is well worth while in harvesting
to take the extra trouble to pre-
vent bruises. For a small plot
potato fork is the best tool to use
After removing the vines one can
dig them out with the fork with
practically no broken or cut po-
tatoeS. If a hoe is used a great
many will be cut. Where an
acreage is to be dug they may be
plowed up by using an ordinary
turning pillow, and instead of hav-
ing a mould board, attach fork
like arrangement so that the dirt
will fall thru and the potatoes roll
out. The pillow, of course, must be
run well below the potatoes so
that all the ground is loosened.
With the best Of tools . careless
farm hand will destroy more than
the price of his wages. Just lit
tie care will pay many times over
the extra time it takes. Some
people use an ordinary middle
buster. This loosens up the
ground and the potatoes can be
easily uncovered. Another i'm
plement is an ordinary pillow with
the rods, but having two rolling
Golfers on the beam. This does
splendid work where the soil is
fairly compact. On loose soil the
vines are apt to clog ~ the ma
chine.
1t always pays to grade pota-
toes that are to be sold. Pota-
toes of all sizes and grades mixed
will sell for the lowest price,
whereas, if the select potatoes are
put together they bring the best
price. There will be little de-
mand for the culls, and they are
certainly not worth the expense
of moving into market. They can
always be disposed of at home, by
feeding to live stock.
Early sweet potatoes are usual
ly harvested before they are en-
tlrely ripe. These shosla be put

Many fruit growers will be
prosperous this year because they
were wise enough to set fruit
trees a few years ago; strawberry
growers who receive good prices
for their berries this year are con-
graduating themselves that they
planted Strawberries. Oranges,
peaches, plums, figs, grapes, pears,
blackberries and dewberries do
not always yield large crops, nor
always bring in large profits as
commercial crops, but very often
they do.

BEWARE OF EGG SUBSTI

The so-called egg substitutes

are being sold to housewives, will
in no sense take the place of eggs

specialists of the Bureau of Chem
istry, us. D. A. They have an
alyzed and made baking tests
with most of the preparations
which are claimed by manufac-
turerS to do the work of eggs.
The average price paid by the
consumer for the so-called egg
substitute is approximately six
cents an ounce or at the rate of
about 81 a pound. Since these
products consist essentially OF
starch or a powdered cereal pro.
duct such as wheat flour, some.
times artificial y colorcd yellow t.

Farmers Protecting Corn Against
Weevils.

Upon his return to Extension
Headquarters at Gainesville, after
a ten-day stay in Marion county,
District Agent E. w. Jenkins says
that a large number Of the farm
crs of Marion county are building
new corn cribs or remodeling
their old ones so that the corn can
be properly fumigated to kill the
wcevils.
Mr.. jenkins has been assisting
County Agent H. Blackburn in
holding a series of meetings, COW
ering practically every rural com
Imunity of the county, at which
time the people were given di-
rections for fumigating the corn,
and at the same time were shown
the tremendous loss that is realiz-
ed each year from the corn weevil.
The damage from the weevil is
said to be 20 per cent of the crop.
In Marion county alone, the yield
of corn this year is estimated at
about $4,000 busheld. Valued
at $1.75 per bushel, it is easy to
see what a tremendous loss 20 per
cent of this crop would mean to
the farmers of that county.
These facts were brought forci
bly, before the corn growers, ano
from the number of storage hOus
cs that are being built and remod
eled, it is safe to say that the in
formation went straight home.

are taken out of the ground. If
allowed to lie in the sun they will
discolor and will not carry well.
However, if the potatoes are fully
ripened, it is an advantage to let
them lie in the open until the sur
face is thoroly dry and the dirt
will shake off.

Before the war Germany used
two million bales Of cotton. In
1913 the imports of raw cotton IN
Germany were valued at $137, 754,

per capita was $6.65 in Germany,
1896 in England, and 1894 in
France.

The recent war has taught
America a lesson, that we should
fortify our homes-not against
foreign invasion, but against the
credit system and our dependence
upon cotton or any other one
crop. Planting a fruit grove,
raising live stock and poultry and
filing the granary, the corn crib,
the hay loft, the smoke-house and
the pantry is the kind of forti-
fication we need.

AND DLEAGUE
ARE DENOUNCED
BY SOCIALISTS
Even French Repudiate
Peace Terms as Mere
Spoils Of War.

Paris. May 13-The league of ma
tions covenant was described as league
of governments and executives rather
than Of peoples and parliaments, in a
statement issued by international So
cialists tonight criticizing the peace
terms and the covenant. It is declared
that the covenant seems to be the in
strument of victorious coalition DOM
mated by five great powers, rather than
an organ of international justice on
which all nations ought to find q place.
The statement is signed by the fol-
lowing socialists. who were appointed
by the Rerne labor socialist conference
to make study of the covenant and the
treaty:
Hjalmar Branting, Sweden; Camille
Huysmans, Belgium; Arthur Henderson,
J. Ramsay Macdonald and c. H. Stuart
Of Great Britain, and Pierre Renaudel
and Jean Longuet of France.
Failure TO include Germany and
Russia in the league of nations, the
statement asserts, must be righted
speedily if the league is to be made
effective for preventing war. The limita-
ton of German armament without ap
plication of restrictions to other nations
also is criticised and the attention of
the labor world is called to the danger
resulting from the establishment of the
boundaries of Poland. which, it is held.
does violence to the rights of people to
choose their political allegiance. and by
separating German states into two
separate parts.
The callous handing over of Shan
tung with its resources and forty mil
lion to fifty million Chinese, to japanese
economic control cannot be passed over
in silence" the statement says.
Regarding the Saar valley. the state
ment recognizes the justice of Germany
being obliged to furnish France and Bel
gium with coal and compensation for the
destruction of mines. but utters Il sus-
picion that the arrangements for the
administration of the district conceal
aims for dismemberment.
The disposal of the German colonies is
regarded by the socialists as imperial
ism satisfying itself with the spells of
war"
The statement concludes:
''1'his peace is not our peace. The
nations are still menaced by the policy
of the victors in sharing the spoils with
out thot of the inevitable consequences"

pany. The chancellor denounced the

The statement was made to foreign
Journalists in the former chancelor's pal
ace and in part follows:
We thot that we social democrats were
strong enough to prevent a peace by
violence, but doubted whether the mass
es in enemy countries could support US,
because they are less strongly organ
lied than we. Certain circles in England
and France are beginning to advise the
necessity of common sense. 1t is too
comic when President Wilson's ID points
are contrasted with the peace terms.
They do NOT mention MIR. Wilson's terms,
but just brutal. dictated peace.
1T is possible government might be
formed which would sign the peace
terms, but it is doubtful whether the al
lies would be satisfied with such gov
ernment. A reactionary government Is
out of all question and communist and
independent government would be act
ing for the people of whom they would
represent only small minority. Even
