LOOK OUT FOR FROST.
SWEET POTATOES SHOULD Be DUG BEFORE

Sweet pota toes should be dug be-
fore frost or continued cold weather

Ihd prevalent idea that the vines
must be frosted before the potatoes

wrong and the practice is danger
GUS. 1t Is unsafe TO wait later than
the dates below To gather potatoes.
Many growers who waited untii
frost last year lost their entire crop

The approximate earliest date oil

section Is Oct. % in the sandhill sec
tion Nov. l, in the coastal region
Nov. 8.
Of the two evils, immaturity and
frost injury, the former is least III

can be kept while the frost bitten

pERSIMONS MAKE BEER

On most farms there are few ma

STATE TAX COMMISSION an
kULS SINCREASES ORDERED
TEN PER CENT INCREASE ORDERED TAKEN Off
BY Commission.

When the county real property
rolls, submitted to the state tax
commission were returned the Board
OF Supervisors were ordered by tn
tax commission to increase their
real property assessment ten per-
cent. The Board OF Supervisore ap-
pointed committee composed OF
Earl Richardson, G. T. Rand and A..
Deweese to go before the commits
sion to have the order for an In
crease rescinded. These witnesses
were heard by the tax commission
last week Monday one week ago.
The Boarb has been advised that
the order for a ten percent increase
has been annulled and the ten per-
cent withdraw wn. This leaves the
real property rolls as they were be-
fore, and saves 10 per cent on real
property for the ensuing y ear.

SELECT SEED CORN
DURING THE HARVEST
EARS SHOULD Be CHOSEN FROM STANDING
STALKS.

PaWlng over the ears of corn after
they have been stored away in crib
ana picking seed from the likeliest
looking ears is method that be-
longs to the OK team and the cradle.
up to-date farmers nowadays
choose their seed corn from the
standing stalks, where they can OBJ
serve the growing conditions, and
thus often immeasurably increase
the value OF u given lot of seed.
When selecting seed corn in the
field, keep yonr eye out for the stur-
dy upright stalk OF medium height
and thickness, with short joints and
broad leaves carried well down,
which stands in an average soiI.
Then look for an ear well matured
and set fairly low, of medium size
cob, not too large butt and a husk
protecting the tip. Remembering all
so that one good ear is better than
two nubbins be satisfied with the
single good ear on the stalk when
the stand Is thick.
Another advantage OF selecting
corn in this way is. that stalk char
acteristics can be noted and select
ions made accordingly. For in
stance, the more or less hereditary
tendency to produce suckers can be
reduced by selections; stalks blown
over by storms ars inherently weak
and should be avoided; under no
circumstances should ears from dis
eased stalks be considered.
When selecting corn in the it is
often hard for the grower to pay as
much attention as he would like to
the ear characteristics. 1t Is a good
plan. therefore. to select two or
three times as much seed as ia need
ed and to go over it again in the
spring with an eye to ear character
istics. Often growers carry forwad
good seed from one spring to the
next In case OF energies that might
arise from unfayorable weather or
storing conditions.
