The legal weight of bushel OF
sweet potatoes varies from 46 pounds
in the Dakotas to 60 pounds in Mary
land. In thirteen states the legal
weight Of a bushel is so pounds, and
in six states 55 pounds, consequently
no crates or baskets can be designed
that will always hold a bushel by
weight. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture recognizes the
volume of 215O.42 cubic inches and
it's multiples and subdivisions. Due
to this variation in legal weight per
busheI, as we'll as to variations in size,
it is neither feasible nor desirable to
attempt to standardize G weight

The cost of a container is a con-

When prices are high a. small con-

COyTAINER FOR
81 SWEET POTATOES

Clemson College, December 22.-
Inst now a. great deal is being SAID
with reference to the kind of con-
+ainers best suited for use in storing
and shipping sweet pota1oes, says f.
l. Harkey, Agent in Marketing. Az
the present the dealers prefer the
hamper, but a great many growers and
storage house people are using the
nrate because it seems Better suited
for use in carrying the crop from the
field to the house and as storage
eontainer. The container question is
not definitely settled as yet. Each
agent in marketing has been furnish
ed with o. list of container manufac-
turers in his state. County agents
and growers should communicate
with the state agent.
Sweet potatoes are shipped to mar
ket in barrels, crates, hampers, round
stave baskets, and in bulk. Without
question the type Of shipping contain
or that is used has appreciab2e influ-
ence in securing topnotch prices for
the grower. Containers must carry
wen, ventilate properly, and present a
neat appearance. Strong packages
Of such construction as to secure pro-
per ventilation cut down railroad
claims to a minimum, and attractive
containers aid in the sale of the con-
tents. Fewer styles Of containers
and better containers are an advan-
tage alike to grower, shipper, carrier
and public. Too many sizes, with va
ration in size barely distinguishable

Remarkable indeed, was the state

Rice, who resides ut 9303 Barring

declares that four bottles of Tanlac
have completely relieved her OF
rheumatic trouble which she has
been trying for thirty years to oy-
ercome. Here is ner statement:
Some astonishing things happen
in this world and what Tanlac has
done for me in the past few week.

affected with rheumatism that was
unable to use them to do my work

weak could scarcely keep up ana
about.
After reading in my home paper
where so many friends and neighbors
had received such good results from
Tanlac | decided to try 1t myself and
words can't express my gratitude for
what it has done for me. The pain
disappeared from my back before my
/ first bottle of Tanlac was gone.
am now on my fourth bottle and feel
! better than have in thirty years.
The rheumatism has also left my
hands completely and am now able
to do my housework and attend to

any trouble whatever. Tnlac Ger

WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-This is
the second attempt in the history or
the country ito compel legislative
subordination to executive decree,
according to Representative Tess Of
Ohio. The first such effort, akin to
the one Mr.. Wilson is now making
was by President Andrew jackson.
Mr.. Fess drew comparison be-

now making and the one of Presr-
dent Johnson in 1857 following the
free exercise of the veto power by
the executive. President Johnson
declared he would carry the contest

ami Indications that more are to
follow a similar course, the President
finds the covenant is TO be definite
ly toned down, and the league as an
issue of debate almost out of the
running, This is the reason why pol
iticians and officials at the capital
believe that the President will have
to seek new angle for the scores
OF speeches yet to be made on his
present tour and they are watching
for the first symptoms.
There has been great deal of
comment in Washington over the ac-
ton OF Senators Hoke Smith and
Thomas in waiting until the Presi-
dent had gotten well started on his
trip before making their announce
ment OF detection in the Senate.
Some believe that the President knew
OF their intention before leaving
Washington. But others believe that
he would never have undertaken such
an ambitious tour II he had known
the true facts with regard to the
Senate situation. Reports reaching
the capital from the points already
visited by the president indicate an
apathy upon the part of the public
toward the Presidents arbitrary

Austin, Tex.-In recent survey OF
Runnels County, made by the bureau
Of economic geology and technology
of the University of Texas, the geol-
ogic resources of present economic
value were found to be confined to
the nonmetallic products, such as
sand, clay, gypsum, structural stone,
lime, road metal, oil and gas. Under
favorable conditions the bureau be-
lieves a number of these may be util-
lied locally and some of them in a
broader way.
The survey disclosed immense beds
of red clay in the Western part OF
the county from which brick and tile
can be made. One of the citizens of
Ballinger called attention to deposit
of fuller's earth, about three and a
half miles from the city on the Maver'
lex Road.
One bed of gypsum of considerable
extent was found just west of Bal
linger. 1t is thought that it might be
possible to find places where this bed
of gypsum is of sufficient thickness to
be mined and calcined for plaster
One of the valuable resources OF the
county is its limestones. The best and
most accessible beds are found in the
upper Lueders formation from which
the stone is quarried. These beds are
well located geographically with re
spect to transportation and the more
densely inhabited part of the county
The best road material of the coun
ty is the conglomerate concrete
which occurs along the Colorado R4te
and the larger creeks. These bed
are found from 40 to 100 feet aboV'
the streams and occasionally nearl.
| down to stream level.
