THE FALL CROP OF
IRISH POTATOES

Clemson College, June 2O.--Large
quantities of Irish potatoes are ship
ped into the South from the North
and the Middle West during the fall
winter and spring, and vet expert
mcnts have shown that two crops of
Irish potatoes may be grown on the
same land in South Carolina in nine
months. The spring crop should
supply our needs from June to Nov
cmbcr, when the fall crop should be
ready for harvest. This second crop
may be kept in perfect condition
from the time of harvest until the
first crop of the spring harvest is
ready. 1t is plain therefore that we
can have Irish potatoes the year
round from our own farms.
The difficulty in growing this sec
ond crop is in securing a perfect
stand, but since the introduction of
the Lookout Mountain variety there
is little or no trouble in this respect,
provided the land is well prepared
and the tubrrs properly planted. 1t

Miss Marion Croteau, one of the
popular clerks at the D. w. Adams
company store, was invited, Wednes-
day evening to the home OF Mrs.
Theberge on State street, to pass a
quiet evening as she supposed.

sembled IA of her associates, girls
who are employed on the second
floor of the store. They were armed
with Il huge Maybasket which was
presented to Miss Croteau. The party
was invited into the house. Investi-
cation showed that the Maybasket,
which was a lavish affair of pink and
white crepe paper and roses, was
things to delight the BRIDE to- be.
Dainty pieces of handmade linen
found place beside useful pieces of
tin and the basket was a treasure
trove. The evening was most gayly
passed in a social manner. A de-
licious buffet luncheon of sand
witches, coffee, cake. olives, candy
and nuts was served by the hostess,
Mrs. Theberge in the dining room.
Miss Croteau is to become the bride
