I'VE have reached the point

experiment of the Virginia

PROTECT POTATOES
THROUGHOUT WINTER,

University Station, Baton
Rouge, La, Aug. 27.-Louisiana
is producing the largest sweet
potato crop on record this year.
a crop of such magnitude thai
the early markets cannot pos
sibly absorb it and unless stor-
age facilities are provided to
take care of it several million
dollars worth of sweet potatoes
are destined to rot. Such a
status of affairs will reflect
heavy losses upon the growers
who are being urged to plan to
Store their crops and carry
them over the glutted period
With this in mind the Exten-
sion Division of the State Uni
versity has ignaugurated cam
paign for the erection of storage
houses on every farm.
Farmers should begin to
make preparations for storing
their sweet potato stock, be
lieves M. Hull, sweet potato
specialist. Plans and specifica.
lions for building these houses
are available upon request from
the local farm demonstration
agent or by writing to the Hor,
ticultural Department, Louisi-
ana State University at Baton
Rouge. Personal supervision
will be given during the erection
of the houses and assistance will
be rendered throughout the cur.
ing period of the potatoes. In
a number of instances aband-
oned tenant houses, or other
buildings not in use on the farm
may be satisfactorily converted
into storage houses at a small
cost; and in the hill sections oil
the state where pine logs are
available they may be used in
constructing adequate places in
which to store the surplus stock
It is hoped that little economic
waste will take place in the flu
ture farming industry of the
state and it is also the wish and
desire of Mr.. Hull that the farm
ers raising sweet potatoes will
lend a cooperative hand to this
campaign for building sweet -po-
tat0 storage houses and thus
bring about little or no losses
by constructing adequate facii-
ties. for caring for their stock.

POISON IN RHUBARB LEAVES

DO not eat the leaves Of the rhubarb
plant! From time to time one reads
or hears advice to economic and also
to freshen and purify the blood by eat
ing green vegetables. That is all right
with certain important limitations, and
one of these limitations concerns the
leaves Of the rhubarb plant. Green
vegetables have a very valuable place
in the food schedule, and boiled
green's" such as cabbage, kale, turnip
tops and beet tops are wholesome. The
eating of turnip tops and beet tops has
led to the assumption that rhubarb
tops are good.
That Is not the fact. There is dan
ger sign on them. Men have been poi
soned by eating them. They contain
oxalic acid and death turks in that
acid.
A fatal case of poisoning by ruhbarb
leaves was reported some time ago in
the New York Medical Journal.
The red and rosy stalk Of the rhu-
barb has been proved by generations

In this country the youth are told

HONESTY.

Modern honesty is something
different from what people were
taught to believe was pure, un-
adulterated honesty less than a
generation back. Too many
have the idea that honesty is
simply not being caught. The
fact that one does something,
gets away with anything with
out being detected, no matter
how harmful, or how unfair it
might be it must be considered
honesty. People who can not
or will not be honest with them
selves have not the real concep-
ton of what honesty is. Until
we get back to the old teachings
and understand and live up to
the Ten Commandments given
to Moses on the mount, this old
sphere will not be just exactly
right. Honesty does not consist
solely in taking more money
than you should, or in not short
changing your neighbor, or
stealing his cash. 1t consists in
many other things. 1t is not
honest to pretend to be what
you are not. 1t is dishonest to
be a hypocrite, to get credit for
something to which you are not
entitled; to steal your employ
er's time; to accept pay for
something you have not earned;
to assume the standard of a
moralist and be libertine,
there are many ways, and the
guilty conscience is SO much
aware or what real dishonesty is
that it would seem to be a loss
of time to 60 beyond just re-
ferring to the fact that honesty
is not to the fact that honesty is
not what it once was.-Thibo-
daux Commercial Journal.

JEROME BELL

Jerome Bell was a many sided
character. Inventor, businessman,
editor, poet, artist, at times, and
citizen, always. In all of these,
he was a success. By nature and
inclination, he was an artist, a
dreamer. But events placed him
i'm the active work-a-day world.
His life was one of action-and
effective, too. AS always, when
the Dreamer goes into action, let
enemies of Right beware. Every
partner of intrigue, every enemy
Of Right, every plotter against
civic development, feared his pen.
Kind even to tenderness to his
friends and to those who served,
he was ruthless and merciless to
those opposed to his ideals. He
had a fearless audacity as editor
of a Delaware newspaper that we
do not know today. To read the
files of the Star would be training
for us all. AS a citizen, he was
interested i'm everything that
promised advance. Not only in-
terested, he gave unselfishly of
time, wealth. and energy. Early
i'm the war, he offered his services
to our Governor and begged for
work ito do.
AS "a friend, he was loved. He
gave his all to his friends. A
charming personality,-wit, senti-
'ment, sarcasm, poetry-he was a
wonderful friend.
At Kells, he was a welcome
guest. His last collection of
poems was printed here under his
supervision-a Delaware pro-
Duct" he was wont to say. Inter-
ested in our work here, Poetry,
Printing, Atmosphere of Kells,
and Jerome Bell were all con-
genial friends. "The Rest IS
SHence," Jerome Bell! The world,
and we, are richer for your life
with it's words and works. Your
prayer can we'll he our creed
"My prayer each day shall be my

ARBOR DAY
PROCLAMATION

Governor William D. Demey
has designated Friday, April 1,
as Arbor Day. His proclamation
follows:
State of Delaware, Executive De-
partment, Dover, Del.
l deem it my duty at this time
to remind the people of the State,
and especially our young people,
of a law passed in 1901 which
authorizes the Governor to- set
apart each year one day to be
designated as Arbor and Bird
Day, and to request its observance
by all public schools, private
schools, colleges and other insti-
tutions, by the planting of trees
and the adornment Of the school
and public grounds and by suit
able exercises, having for their
object the advancement of the
study of arbor culture and pro-
motion of the spirit of protection
to birds and trees and the cultiva-
tion Of an appreciative sentiment
concerning them.
The purpose Of the law is so
clearly expressed and the need of
its observance so generally recog-
nized that l consider it unneces-
sary to do more than call public
attention to it's provisions, and ex-
press the hope that the intent of
the Act may be fully carried out.
l urgently request its general
observance throughout the State
and to that end hereby designate
Friday, April 1, 1921, as Arbor
and Bird Day.
