CARE FOR SWEET POTATOES.
More Danger from Under-Curin,
than from Over-Curing.

Clemson College, Oct. 15.-Sweet
potatoes should be dug before frost
or continued cold weather approach
Ing frost. The sweet potato Is a trop-
ical plant, and both vines and roots
may be damaged by temperature
above the frost point, warns the ex-
tension service horticulturist.
The earliest date Of the first kill
ing frost in the Piedmont section Is
Oct. 23, sandhill section Nov. 1st,
coastal section Nov. 9th.
The prevalent idea that the vines
must be frosted before the pota toes
are dug is wrong and the practice Is
dangerous. 1t is unsafe to wait later
than the above dates to gather po-
tatoes. Many growers who waited
until frost last year lost their entire
crops, regardless Of the kind Of stor-
age facilities.
or the two evils, immaturity and
frost injury, the former is least in
furious. as the immature potatoes
can be kept, while frost-bitten roots
cannot be kept under any condition.
Vines should not be removed ex-
cept from potatoes to be dug on the
same day that the vines are taken
away. Experiments and observations
indicate that potatoes so treated are
hard to cure. However If frost kills
the vines before potatoes can be dug,
clip the main stem at base Of plant
before thawinF axes place.
The house sMould be filed within
two or three days, and curing should
begin on first day and continued ten
to fourteen days. depending upon tie
weather conditions.
There is more danger resulting
from underwriting than from over
curing, the latter being indicated by
the appearance OF long sprouts, a
condition which is undesirable, but
moro safe than the absence Of all
sprouts.

ander, of Walhalla, and a wide circle
of friends to mourn her death.
In early life she professed faith
in Christ and united with the Little
River Baptist church. She showed
her love for the cause Of Christ and
the church, which she served with
marked regularity and commendable
fidelity. The Christian influence of
her noble life has long fastened and
perpetuated itself on her children,
and on all with whom she came in
contact. This good lady will be very
greatly missed by all who knew her,
for she had such genial and sunny
disposition that she dispelled gloom
wherever she went, and she was al
ways ready to help those in sorrow
and need. But her loved ones should
find coincidence In the thought that
she has entered the sweet rest, as
she told those around her bedside
that she would be happy with Jesus
when He saw fit to call her.
Her remains we're laid to rest the
day following her death, in the fam
lily cemetery near Little River, in
the presence Of large concourse Of
sorrowing relatives and friends. The
