ABOUT THE SWEET POTATO
IN CLARENDON COUNTY

Since we have been assured that
there will be a plant for curing and
storing your sweet potatoes in Mann
ing and possibly other points in the
county next fall, l feel that I should
again call attention to certain details
regarding this crop.
Annually from ten to fifteen mil
lions of bushels of sweet potatoes are
lost due to diseases. Most of this big
loss can be prevented. Since all bed
ding was done sometime ago, / will
not at this time discuss the matter of
using disease free seed, treating the
seed and so on. But l do wish, again
to emphasize the matter of using
vines for planting. 1t has been found
by the commercial growers that the
vine cuttings usually produce more
marketable potatoes per acre, and they
are more likely to be free from
disease. find that as a rule it is not
profitable to put out your sweet DO
tatoes too early. This gives them too
long growing period and big per.
centagc of the potatoes will grow en-
tircly too large and often crack open
There is, therefore, plenty of time yet
for planting this crop, in fact the best
time is yet to come.
find that the sweet potato is a
SioP lldC uOcS wen pIduLcu on falfly
thin land and literally fertilzed with
a commercial fertilizer. In fact, pre-
fer this to the very fertile soils or to
the use of stable manures. An 8-3-3
fertilizer is very largely used for the
sweet potato crop, but am convinced
that on our soils fertilizer contain
ing more potash than this would be
profitable. An 8-3-6 would probably
not be too high grade fertilizer to
use profitably. AS we know, root
crops are heavy users of potash One
can readily make this fertilizer by
adding some form o fpotash to the
lower grade mixture
| would advise closer planting than
IS the rule. Plants set from twelve
to fourteen inches apart will average
turning out more number one pota
toes than those given eighteen to
twenty inches of space.
/ will later in the season have some
thing to say regarding the harvesting,
grading and storing of this crop.

CITIZENSHIP COURSE
DURING SUMMER SCHOOL

During the Short Course for Wo-
men, July 4-16 inclusive, the subject
of citizenshi will be emphasized. This
subject is full of interest for every
one, and again we would say the Of
ferings of the Short Course are open,
not only to those who come especially
for the course, but to all attending
the summer school.
This session the course in citizen
ship will emphasize several phases Of
government. The women of the
country are now giving aprticular at
tcntion to legislation, both national
and state. 1t is therefore well that
they discuss in detail in this course
the subject of congress and the state
legislature, studying their organiza-
ton, their methods and procedure, and
the way in which we proceed in order
to get our legislation passed. This
would also include discussion of the
provisions of those bills which wo-
mems organizations throughout the
country have endorsed, such as the
Sheppard -Towner and the Smith
Towner Bills.
Further, women are turning their
attention to matters of local govern
ment, especially to city and town gov
ernment, and they are considering
thoughtfully the problems of munich
pal housekeeping. This means that
women must become familiar with the
existing form of government and learn
how that government may be i'm
proved. The commission form and
the City Manager plan will, very
naturally then, be discussed in this
course.
Whatever seems needed by the
group of women gathered in class will
doubtless be discussed Certainly wo-
men, if they are to become vital fac
tors for better conditions, must have
a clear knowledge of what takes place
within the elmer circle" of a party
in order that they may successfully
combat and overcome any pernicious
forces. This would mean that the
group discuss local, state, and nation
al committees, campaign funds, etc,
and ways in which to successfully
prevent fraud at elections.

VALUE OF a TECHNICAL
EDUCATION

A technical education is the best
insurance against hard times. In
earning capacity, it may equal an
estate of $4,000. For the untrain-
cd are the positions Of poverty and
obscurity.
Times are hard in South Caro-
lima, but the cost Of an education
at Clemson College is comparative
~ i0",--sufllclcntly low to be with
IN the reach Of any ambitious
young man in South Carolina.
Scholarships, free tuition and
the payment by the United States
government roy, to Il. O. II. C. students,
still further reduce the cost.
DO not allow the financial diff
cuitles to keep you from entering
college this fall to prepare voursejf
Tor the opportunities that lie
ahead.
