POTATOES PROFITABLE.
Farmer in Williamsburg Makes Over
$500 an Acre.

Over 81, 200 profit from four acres
of sweet potatoes is record which
shows what can be done with sweets
in the coastal plain region. This
record was made by J. L. Thomas, of
Cades, Williamsburg county, says
County Agent T. NJ. Cathcart. Mr..
Thomas not only grows the potatoes
successfully but he cures them in a
properly constructed and operated
storage house.
The following statement of his
expenditures and returns should be
studied with profit, for it is hard to
beat $500 per acre even on cotton.

DISINFECT SEED BED
TO PREVENT DISEASE
Before Planting Be Sure to De-
stroy All Fungi.
Sterilization by Heat In Form Of
Steam Is Most Eneetive--Formslln
Treatment May BE More Praetl-
cal for Majority.

CBy OTIS REINK1NG, Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins, Colo)
Be sure to disinfcct your seed beds,
cold frames or hot house beds before
planting. The purpose Is to Kill all
fungi which cause dumping Off, stem
rot, black rot, and other diseases,
Sterilization by heat in the form Of
steam is the most effective; however,
the formalin,. treatment may be more
practical for the ma jnrity.
The forlnalin solution Is made up
by using 4 quarts of fOrmalin go per
cent formaldehyde to so gallons q
barely of water. Apply at the rate
or 2 quarts per square foot of ground.
One barrel, at this rate, will cover a
piece Of ground one rod long by six
feet wide. Apply the solution grad
ually to the soil with a sprinkling pot.
1t is well to cover the bed for "a hours
with sacks disinfected in the formalin
solution.
Do not plant until the third or
fourth day after disinfecting, or until
the ground is in n suitable condition.
This will allow all formalin fumes to
escape so that the seed and young
growing plants will not be injured.

But today 1t costs from SIS to $50 a
month to feed COW on grain and
roughage. Attention devoted to pas
ture, therefore, pays bigger dividends
than formerly. Dairymen used to fig
ure that they must get SO a year
from every acre of land i'm pasture,
and this meant that the acre had to
pasture a cow for three months. Now,
If the same acre pastures a cow only

dairyman. 1t pays, nowadays, TO take
care of the pastures. And it pays
equally well TO take care of the rough
age. Pasture forage, silage-these
things are the essentials In dairy pro

American Library Association
Urges Adoption Of County
Library System.
IDEA PROVES SUCCESSFUL.
California, the Pioneer-0ther
States Adopting the
Plan.
IDEA PROVES SUCCESSFUL.

The American Library Association,
in announcing its Books for Every
body" movement, which is to be nation
wide In its scope, advises and urges the
extension of the county library system
as solution of the problem of supply
ing good literature 10 the rural dis
tricts. Its intention is to persist in
advocating the nationwide adoption
of the idea as successfully applied In
California, Ohio and Maryland until
every one OF the 2,0Gl counties in the
nation have adopted the system and
regular shipments of good books are
being made from the central point In
the county to the designated Outposts.
California stands out as the hlghpoint
IN the successful application of the
idea. OF the 50 counties in the state
AZ have adopted and are supporting the
system at a trifling cost. This it urges
as part of its enlarged program which
aims to promote a better citizenship
and to combat the social and Industrial
unrest through the teaching of Ameri-
can ideals and traditions to the foreign
born.
The book needs Of the sixty million
or more Americans who live outside of
the big cities will be called to the at
tention of those In a position to serve
them.
County Libraries Urged.
The county library system provides
for establishing one central library at
the county seat or in the largest town
in every county. This does not mean
necessarily the erecting of library
building and the stocking of its shelves.
In many cases the tools already exist.
From this central station books will
be loaned to designated outpost sta
tons. The books will be delivered by
trucks, parcel post or whatever method
may be adopted in any given county to
the country stores, tollgates, post of
fees, schoolhouses and private homes.
When one shipment has been circulat-
ed and returned another will be sent
out Also, in communities of any size
In the county, branch libraries will be
maintained.
The American Library Association,
with its 1000 active librarian mem
bers and its 40 years of practical func-
tionlng, is in a position to know the
needs of the country and in the fight
for wider knowledge is a force to be
reckOned with.
The Enlarged Program calls for an
expenditure of $2,000,00O. There will
be no drive or intensive campaign.
The money will he raised by the libra
rians, library trustees and friends of
libraries. The movement for better
citizens and a well read population is
on and the slogan is Books for Every
body"
