PREPARATION OF THE BED.
Rotation for Sweet PotatoeS-FalI
 Flowing Best.
National Crop Improvement service.l

National Crop Improvement Service.l
 Land that is used in sweet potato growing, should be in rotation with , other staple farm crops and as rule }the same piece of ground should not be used two years in succession for sweet potatoes.
 A successful Arkansas grower uses the following rotation, with fine re- suits:
 off, hogs are turned in for time to pick up the roots. Land is then ploWed and he puts in crop of corn in which row of cowpeas is planted during late cultivation. This is followed by winter oats and after the grain is har- vested in the spring, cowpeas are sown broadcast. These are pastured down and foIIowed by sweet potatoes. In case you have no hogs, SOW rye after the potatoes are dug.
 This three-year rotation perhaps could be improved by a pasture CT grass crop one year, preferably clover.
 It is best to break the land in fail VI NAAlS1 II pOSSlDIc, ICdVlQS It IOuSu until spring and then rebreak. This IS not always possible in case winter teaching is apt to occur.
 If the land is broken in the spring keep it we'll worked until planting time. Treat it about the same as corn ground. After blowing the soil should be we'll pulverized and allowed to lie idle few days. On well-drained lands .ow fiat ridges give excellent results put for land where drainage is not so good, higher ridges must be made. Flow several furrows together, then datten off the top with light drag or board. This makes a good bed.

AS you know, several hospitals are
now being operated by the public
health service for the treatment Of
tubercular patients, benefciuies of the
Bureau OF War Risk Insurance, and
comprehensive plans for the con
struction OF additional hospitals are
being carried into execution rs rapid
ly as possible. In addition many tuber-
cular patients are being hospitalized
by contract with local institutions, an
allowance having been authorized for
the purpose at a rate not to exceed
$500 per day, including all necessary
expenses.

ure to construct suitable hospitals for
the treatment of this class or cases
on such short notice and 1t is believ-
ed to be wise measure, and for the
best interests OF the patients in a
great many cases to arrange for their
care and treatment in public and
private institutions situated near their
homes. The situation has become
quite urgent with respect TO the care
of tubercular patients in the immedi-
ate future, and it is believed that the
American Legion, through its state
and local organizations, can be Of
great assistance TO the public health
service by aiding US in locating sana.

charged men in order that there may
be no possible delay in making pro-

New York, Jan. 15.-Testimony that
Captain Karl w. Deter maltreated
soldiers at the prison camp at lie
Mans, OF which he was in charge,
was given at his court-martial by
Lieut.. Leonard ID. Mahan. who serv-
ed under him.
Nlahan told of finding prisoners
with their noses against mark on
the wall, "to think over what happen
cd 10 Others" When examining prs-
oners, Deter, the witness said, paced
the floor cursing or sat at table
with q pistol in front OF him and a
riding crop in his hand.
Mahan quoted Deter as telling him
that ne had given Private Yates "a
damned good licking with his fists"
Before the war, Nlahan was chief Of
the bureau of criminal identification,

He testified that Deter did not en-
trust the investigation Of complaints

partmcnt Of criminal investigation at

fore being assigned to assist Deter.
In the safe of the department, he
said, he found 10000 francs in cash
and check for $4,000 francs with no
record to show the prisoners from
whom the money had been taken.
The department used soldiers absent
without leave as "stoll pigeons" and
testified.
