New York and North Carolina have three
each. Single states represented in the
presidential roster are New Hampshire.
Pennsylvania. Kentucky. Vermont and New
Jersey, while Massachusetts, has had two.
How old will the next President be? The
majority Of our chief magistrates have
been more than fifty years old when taking
the oath of Office. Roosevelt was the young
est man to reach the Office He was
forty three, lacking q few months. Grant
was forty seven, Cleveland In his forty
eighth year and Pierce and Garfield In their
forty ninth. All the others were over Fifty,
the oldest president being William Henry
Harrison, he being nearly sixty nine years
old.
Youth is here in 1920. Hoover is but
forty six. Close to him are Palmer and Coo
lidge, each forty eight years old. Champ"
Clark tops the list at seventy years. Taft
is sixty two. Wood and Bryan are sixty.
Cox Is fifty, johnson ffty-fCur, Harding
fifty five, McAdoo fifty seven and Lowden
fifty nine. II the average is to be main
tanned according to the past, then the next
President will be around ffty Ave years old,
since but FIVE out of twenty seven Presi-
dents have been under the half century mark
in years.
The odds are with any 1920 candidate
who is a lawyer. Twenty Of our Presidents
were lawyers. Five were teachers at one
time or another, these being John Adams,
Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland and Wilson.
Although a number of Presidents were born
on the farm, only Washington, William
Henry Harrison and Lincoln stuck to the
plow later in life Fillmore and johnson
were tailors. Roosevelt is described by
biographers as a publicist and public OH
ciaI. Three presidents-William Henry
Harrison, Zachary Taylor and Grant-were

life became fighters, like Washington, "Old

including Hayes, Garfield, Benjamin Harri

Ian and Hancock were unsuccessful soldier
candidates. Sherman and Sheridan failed

dent, the closest approach being Washing
to-, the surveyor. No business man"
has ever attained the Office, the nearest thing
to 1t being Buchanan, Hayes and Roose-
velt whose fathers were merchants, and
Mckinley, whose father was IN iron manu-
facturer.
THE White House bars no man because
i he has had no college education. Nine
of our Presidents won neither diplomas nor
degrees in the days of their youth. They
were Washington, Jackson, Van Buren,
Taylor, Fillmore, Lincoln, johnson, Cleve-
land and Mckinley. All the others were
college boys. But no western college has
produced a President They have all come
from institutions of learning east of the
Mississippi. Harvard and William and
Mary lead the list with three each, Prince
ton has had two, and then follow Yale,
Hampden Sidney, North Carolina, Bow
doin. Dickinson, West Point, Kenyon, Will
Iiams, Miami and Union, with one each.
1t does not necessarily follow that a presi-

History has a way Of repeating itself

will we establish some new precedents?
Suppose we take some historical facts and
project them into the November election,
thereby getting line on what has gone
before and giving us some food for very
interesting speculation anent the identity of
the next occupant Of the White House.

in the local nearby towns and cities
With the organization of comPln
les for building storage houses and
better distribution in the marketing
of the potatoes throughout the
North, as well as locally, the sweet
potato began to come into its own
for the first TIME in the history of
the lSGlte, as these companies then
paid, at the storage house, cash
price, thereby putting the sweet po-
tato on footing with cotton as a
money crop.
The companies operating the stor-
Ilge houses were large enough to
justify a marking organization that
could investigate the markets Of the
United States much better than the
individual farmer could invastiI tie
the markets of the cities of his own
state. 1t was not an unusual thing,
before the coming of the large mar
keting agencies, for the ilrmers to
become greatly discouraged liz re-
suits of thir attempts at, marketing
This was sometimes due to their
not being in intimate touch with the
needs of the markets; to poor pack
ges; more frequently than other
wise to poor grading; and not UNI
to the consignment of their
products TO commission men from
whom returns were generally Wnsat

GROWING SWEET POTATOES


During the past few years Geor-
gia has been producing sweet pQta-
toes at rapidly Increasing rate. In
1919 the crop was estimated lat S.
coo 1000 bushels; in 1917 it reached
1876 900 900 bushels This increase
has been due to the stimulation in the
production of food crops bcgianing
with the low prices paid for cotton
in the fall of 1914; by the reduction;
in the yield of cotton per pcre, by
boll wecvil infestation; and by the
nigh prices paid for all food crops
during the period of the world war.
The sweet potato being one of the
Souths best food crops, has natur-
ally played an important part in
feeding our Southern people during
the war, especially when food be.
camto a basic essential in bringing
the war to a successful termination.
In looking for suitable crop the
farmers of Georgia and other South
crn States always find the sweet
potato right ut the top as one of
the leading commodities which will
fill the requirements of all of our
people.
This increase in the production of
sweet potatoes has not been limited
to the State of Georgia, as other
Southern States have also made re-
markable increases. 1t is estimated
that the Southern sweet potato crop
in 1909 wis worth $S5,000,0 in
1916. $G0,O00O0; and the splendid
SUM- $lOO,OOO,OOO in 1918.
As everyone knows, for a long time
it has been almost impossible to
make profit frcm sweet potatoes
owing to the unsatisfactory condi-
tions for marketing this product. Al
harvesting time there were too many
sweet potatoes offered for shle Oh
the local markets to secure anything
like a reasonable price. AS result
in the fall of the Year the farmer
necessarily Ind to sell his crop for {
very low price or store them il
banks in the fields The storing of
this product in banks generally prov
cd to he unsatisfactory as the pota
toes did not keep well. 1t was diff
r. cult TO take them ont of the banl
during bad wSther. The potatoes
; were often deSeolored and the farme
: storing thoW were without an or
sani1aton for marketing excep
