Plant Sweet Potatoes For
Food And Feed.

Sweet potatoes may be planted
until we'll into July and may be
depended upon to make a fair
yield even under adverse condi.
tions, according to M. Hull of the
Extension Division, Louisiana
State University. Land from
which Irish potatoes, beans and
Strawberries have been harvested
Is ideally adapted for sweet pota-
toes, Very little is necessary to
put such land into condition for
sweet potatoes and little, if any,
fertilizer is needed.
The sweet potato, as almost
everyone knows, is an excellent
food for livestock as we'll as for
the human family. No farmer
need fear that he will produce toe
many sweet potatoes, says Mr..
Hull, provided he is equipped with
a modern storage house in which
to cure his crop.

Hyneneal.

We are indeed glad to congrat,
ulate one Of our young men, Hol.
lis AnciI Stafford, on finishing
his course at Tulane University.
This distinguished son of Mr..
and Mrs. Steve Stafford began
early in life to develop a craving
for knowledge. He received ele
mentary training in the Enon
Junior High School. After grad
uating from FrankIinton High
School in Is he turned his mind
to the study of medicine, the
guiding light toward the goal of
a better humanity. He took his
pre- medical course in the Uni
versity Of Tennessee where he
won many friends. For the past
four years he has continued his
course at Tulane where he re.
ceived his dip. But this is
not all young Dr.. Stafford has to
to be proud of. On Saturday
night June II, he captured one
of Enon's most charming and
popular girls, Miss Leila Jones,
for a bride. This young couple
was quietly married in the home
of his pastor, Rev, Solemn.
They came out from the city
Sunday morning to spend few
weeks with their parents before
leaving for Arkansas where they
intend to make their future
home. Wherever this young
man and wife feel called to so
they will carry with them our
best wishes and we feel sure
that DR.. Stafford is destined to
become a shining light in modern
medicine.
