slips grown from diseased potatoes; l; from the field it is carried to the sweet potato storage house where it may spread and from tfene, 1t is taken back to the seed bed un- less the potatoes are selected and treated.
 At tine present time black rot is one of the greatest enemies of the successful operation of the sweet potato storage houses, and this could be almost entirely prevented If the seed potatoes were properly selected and treated
 For these reasons all growers of slips whether for horne use on for commercial purposes, are strongly urged to use the following method in order to grow good healthy slips.
 Before bedding, be sure to care fully select the seed potatoes and discard all that show any black spots or other signs of diseases Then dip all of the sound potatoes { for ten minutes in a solution con | taining one ounce of bichloride of murcury Corrosive sublimate) to eight gallons of water. This solu- | tion will kill the disease germs on | the surface of the potatoes, but cannot reach those which have all ready gone through the skin and hence it is very important to select | the potatoes carefully before being | dipped. Bichloride of mnrcury can be bought at any drug store and | is very inexpensive.
 The dipping can be easily done in a shallow vat or in barrels or half barrels. Wooden vessels should be used as the bichloride of murcury is corrosive to metal This solu- ! ton is poisonous and should not be left where livestock or children car 1 have access to it.
 A handy way to do this dipping is to place the potatoes in bushe
 baskets and then immerse them il the solution for ten minutes. They are then ready to be placed direct ly in the seed bed, after the solu
 tion has drained off While the, are being bedded another lot car be dipped.
 This method is very simple an, extremely emportant to keep dowl
 serious diseases
 When buying slips from conner
 cial slip growers, guarantee shoult be demanded that the potatoes iron
 which the slips were grown wer properly selected and treated agains
 diseases as described above.

Sweet potatoes should be planted on every farm in Lee county this year. Raise enough for home use with a little surplus to sell. Sweet potatoes are bringing S2.50 and $3 per bushel on the local market to- day and the demand is greater than the supply. In discussing the grow ing of slips, E. B. Whitaker, the county agent, has the following to say:
 It is exceedingly necessary that seed sweet potatoes should be care fully selected and disinfected against disease germs before being bedded. There are some serious diseases, especially black rot, which may be easily scattered through infected slips, and unless the growers of slips observe the proper care the disease will come worse and prove a great menace to the sweet potato industry. In fact, black rot is al- ready doing great deal of damage because so many seed potatoes have not been properly selected and treated.
 Black rot is carried from the seed bed to the field by infected

 | He advises his son to go on with the | actress,~hav his fling, play awhile, but to come home alone. One of the most | intense climaxes possible comes when the adopted fathers advice comes home to roost in the discovery that he has advised the boy against his own lost daughter.
 A fine production is given the story, the entire length of it calling for very | elaborate and effective screen settings. Fine human touches come in in many short scenes of really great importance. 1 The Fretwell girl, for instance, given every opportunity to succeed as the ideal girl, possessing no especially fine qualities is brought in for only mo- ment in the hope to turn the adopted sons fancy from the girl, who for no cause at all the father is hindering on the straigh.ipath.
