HARVEST THE POTATOES
WHEN FROST KILLS VINES

Don't let old Jack Frost get your
sweet and Irish potatoes, experts of
the Department of Agriculture advise
local gardeners who have such prod
uce in their keeping. Here is the
advice:
Irish potatoes should be dug just
are killed by frost. Sweet potatoes
are not injured by a frost that simply
kills the top leaves, and there is no
| hurry about digging them unless the
vines themselves are frozen. Where
the vines become frozen to the
ground the sap sours and the keeping
qualities of the potatoes are injured.
THE proper method is to cut away
the vines Immediately after they are
killed by frost, then dig and store
the sweet potatoes in a warm. dry
place where they will get plenty of
ventilation. A raised shelf over the
furnace pipes in dry cellar or near
the ceiling in the kitchen makes a
good place to spread the sweet pota-
toes to dry and cure. After they have
cured at comparatively high tenn
perature for about two weeks, they
should be carefully removed to dry
room where the temperature will be
about SIS or 60 degrees and never be-
low SO degrees.
Sweet potatoes want warm, dry
conditions, while Irish potatoes keep
best at a temperature between 40 and
Is degrees, and a very little moisture
is rather an advantage. Potatoes of
all kinds should be handled carefully
in order to have them keep we'll"

PLANS TO COORDINATE
SOCIAL SERVICE WORK
National Conference Arranges
Periodical Meetings to Dis
cuss Activities.

Plans for periodical conferences
may coordinate their work were an
nounced yesterday by the National In
formation Bureau following the ma
tional conference on social work here
yesterday.
A committee was appointed to meet
in the near future to shape plans
whereby meetings would be held
jointly by more than 200 civic and
charitable agencies engaged in nation
wide work.
The plans announced include the
establishment of headquarters for
all organizations, whereby social work
done throughout the nation will be
summarized, systematized and card
indeXed.
At the meeting Friday night Secre-
tary of War Baker. president of the
National Consumers League, made the
principal address.
America demands ultimately eftici-
ency in everything to which it gives
it's faith and it's money" he said.
Before the war began we had a
miniature army and it functioned per-
fectly. Nobody was in the other per-
sons way. When we began to mobil-
ize by hundreds of thousands we
began to get into each others way
and 1 spent two busy years sub
dividing, limiting. drawing lines where
one mans duty stopped and another's
began. 1 trust this conference will
realize the Importance of creating an
agency which will survey the field of
activity of the various agencies which
assert a claim to national recognition
SO that they may divide their func-
lions and unite, and thus get the
strength which comes from aggrega-
tion and union"
DIR. George E. Vincent, president of
the Rockefeller Foundation, also
spoke on the need OF coordination.
