Drink plenty water.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,
they become overworked; get sluggish,

urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irri-

When the kidneys clog you must help
them flush off the body's urinous waste
or you'll be a real sick person shortly
At first you feel dull misery in the kid

| The department OF botany, Geor-
gia Experiment Station, has just is
sued the following bulletin on "Stor-
age Rots of Swee, Potatoes" by
B. B. Higgins, botanist:
With the scarcity and consequent
high price of all food stuffs, it be-
comes more important that we take
special care in harvesting and stor-
ing the sweet potato crop With a
little care sweet potatoes can be
kept until spring with almost no loss,
but carelessness in one essential may
cause the whole lot to decay.
Rots 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' caus-
ed by a fungus, Sphaeronema finn
briatum (E. & H. SAGE. This fun
gus IS present to some extent in near
ly all our soils and consequently some
infected roots are nearly always found
in the field.
The decay begins as small, cir
cular, black, sunken spot which en-
larges until an inch or more in diam
eter. 1t gives the potato an I'M
slightly appearance and produces 3
bitter flavor throughout, making the
potato unfit for market; and it also
allows the entrance of other fungi

olack sunken spots are produced vast
quantities of spores which are cana

potato; and, if the surface is moist

potato IS dry, the spore does not ger

therefore important to: /, prevent
the spores of the fungus getting on
to the potatoes; and, 2 keep the sur

spores which are present can not ger

properly constructed for curing,
these two conditions may easily be
obtained by observing a few simple
principles in regard to harvesting and
storing.
Digging should be done, if posi-
BILE, in bright, sunshiny 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 thorough
ly disinfected. For this purpose use
formaldehyde in water at the rate of
! gallon of fornialdehyde to 100 gal
Ions of water. This solution should
be sprayed onto all surfaces of the
bins as well as onto the floors and
walls of the house, until thoroughly
wet. The houses hould then be closed
tightly for twelve hours or longer.
After storage curing must be con-
tinued until all free moisture is
driven from the bins.
Some of the other forms of decay
often cause greater loss than. the
black rot; but they will cause little

FEARS Wild CAT
SCHEMES FROM
TELFAIR OIL FIND

ATLANTA, Nov. Warning
landsolders in Telfair county not to
lease their acreage to oil prospectors,
is, Guyt McLendon, secretary of
state, has issued a statement urging
the farmers in that section to be on
their guard lest wildcat" oil stock
promoters make them the innocent
accessories in schemes to victimize
the general public. Mr.. McLendon
bases his warning on the fact that
the western oil fields, where many
wildcat" companies have sold
thousands of dollars worth of stock
in purely hypothetical wells, securing
a basis for their glowing prospectuses
in leases obtained from owners of
land in the territory where oil has
been discovered in greater or less
quantities.
The statement by the state geolo-
gist that traces of oil have been
found in Telfair county may cause
wildcat" prom oters to institute fake
stock schemes in Georgia, says Mr..
McLendon, and it is his intention to
watch these developments very care
fully to detect if possible any chic
anery that may be attempted in this
line.
Thousands of land holders in the
Telfair territory will be asked to
sign leases" says Mf. McLendon, "but
my advice to them j. to sign no leases
for the present. If the oil industry
in Georgia should amount to anything,
pipelines would have to be construct
ed. storage tanks erected, refneries
established and many other things
that would require a very large out
lay of capital The land owner might
render himself helpless by a prema-
ture lease.
"The individuals seeking these
leases, IS a rule, will simply be seek
ing to obtain something upon which
they may speculate at the expense of
the owner"

trouble where the above mentioned
precautions are taken.
Without a potato house it is more
difficult to control the moisture after
storage; but the precautions, as to
digging and sorting, will help very
materially in reducing loss.
