IDENTIFY VARIETIES
OF SWEET POTATOES
Department of Agriculture Is
Working Out a Key.
II Is Based on Color, Size and Shape
OF Stems and Leaves and in Quail

Results Promising.

The United States department of ag-
rlculture is working out a key by
means Of which varieties Of sweet po-
tatoes can be identified There has
always been a great deal Of confusion
regarding sweet potato varieties, and
this key will make It possible to posi-
lively identify all true varieties. 1t
IS based on the color, size and shape
Of the stems and leaves, and on the
color, size and quality of the potatoes
themselves. That the key works Is
attested by the fact that by its use
varieties described at the time Col'lm-
bus discovered America have been
identified.
The development Of varieties Of
sweet potatoes for stock feed, strip,
starch and sugar making is under way,
and the preliminary results secured In
dictate that the possibilities of the
sweet potato have hardly been touched
upon. It Is yet too sooa to say Just
what may be expected from this work,
but the results thus far secured are
very promising. This work is being
done at Arlington Farm, Va. and at
the Pee Dee experiment station, Flor
ence, S. G.
Investigational work in curing sweet
potatoes has also brought out impor-
tant results. II was shown that with
proper handling in storage conditions
sweet potatoes can be carried through
the winter and as late as April l with
not more than / per cent of loss from

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filed
with uric acid which the kidneys strive
to filter out, they weaken from over
work, become sluggish; the eliminative
tissues clog and the result is kidney
trouble, bladder weakness and a gen.
eral decline in health.

obliged to seek relief two or three

with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This IA

Serious injury to the winter wheat
crop of 1920 by the Hessan fly seems
extremely probable. Reports received
by the United States department. of
agriculture chronological experts in
the Mississippi basin winter wheat re-
giOn indicate a rapid increase of the
Hessian fly In that important wheat
growing district. These reports show
that considerable young wheat already
has been killed by the HeSSian fly, and
that serious losses to the crop of 1920
are almost certain.
Unless winter wheat growers east
Of the Rocky mountains can be induced
to unite in concerted movement to
observe the approved methods Of com
batting the Hessian fly during the sum
mer and fall of 1920, it seems that a
disastrous general outbreak OF the
pest very probably will occur in 1921.
A shortage of farm labor and unfa-
vorable weather conditions at planting
time have combined to influence many
wheat growers in planting their grain
too early in the season. This has re-
suited in a heavy infestatiOn Of Hes
sian fly in practically all of this early
planted wheat.
Damage Feared in East.
A dangerously heavy infestatiOn Of
HeSsian fly also exists in the Piedmont
plain wheat regions lying east Of the
Appalachian mountains and embracing
Maryland, Virginia and eastern Penn
sylvania Complaints of serious Hes
sian fly damage in that region have
already begun to be heard. and there
is at present every indication that

be considerably If not seriously re-
duced in yield this year.

If New York was joined by enough

likely that the New York position will

America is better off, so far as ad-

countries. She is worse off than two.
This is the report made by the U.
S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which
