ALABAMA HEADS
 LIST IN SWEET
 POTATO GROWING
Briggs Relates High Points In Develoment of industry In Article Prepared for
 Market Journal

Auburn. October l,-( Special )-- ~"Alabama First in Cured Sweet Pos tatoesn is the title of an article pre- pared by Sweet Potato Specialist R. G. Briggs of the extension service, for the october issue of the Alabama Markets Journal and Crop Report. In this article Mir. Briggs relates some of the high points of the de- velopment of the big sweet potato sindustry in Alabama. and tells some thing of the steps already taken and being taken for keeping Alabama ahead of all other states with sweet C potatoes.
 s In the first place Alabama stands al the top of the list of states Sn the production of sweet potatoes, and her storage house methods, which nre similar to other stores. are sec ond to none About six years ago the horticulturists of the experiment sta 1ion at Auburn converted an old negro icahin into sweet pota storage house tand the lesson here learned and the methods used have been passed out to the farmers of tho state through .tthe extension service and now hun dreds of thousands of bushels of Ii Alabama's decilious sweet potatoes known as "Alayams,' are being stored in properly constructed houses each year. The storage capacity of such houses constructed this year under the supervision of Mir. Briggs and the various county demonstra- ition agents will exceed a quarter or a million bushels.
 study Standardization
 The standardization of this very ; important and rapidly developing Alabama agricultural crop is re- sceiving no little amount of atten- stion from the experiment station ana extension service workers. There are still numerous varieties of sweet ! potatoes being raised in Alabama, but by the use of these storage shouses the production of sweet po- tatoes on a large scale is being
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-10-03

limited to four varieties which are known to be we'll adapted to Ala bama conditions, and at the same time they are popular varieties from the standpoint of the consumers. By confining the production to only four varieties it will be much easier to aequaint the consuming public throughout the north and east, as well as the south, with "Alayams."
 Carrying the standardization idea further, the crates and packages in which sweet potatoes are marketed have also been andardized reducing them to four types preferred by the railroads, for shipping, and the deal CTS and consumers at the other end of tho line.
 Early Digsina Necessary
 Another important fact in connec- ton with sweet potatoes which was recently discovered by the Alabama be dug at the proper time which means before frost or even before continued cola weather. A little freeze. killing only few of the top leaves, may so upset the natural func- Gons of the vines that the potatoes will be as seriously injured as they would have been by severe frost. Therefore sweet potatoes to be of the highest quality which Is required if they are to be graded as "Alayams" must be dug before frost, cold weather or the pulling of the vines has disturbed the potatoes, thereby njurine their quality.
 Briefly, the plan outlined for the future importance and development of the sweet potato Industry in Ala baina is that a repatriation for uni- form, high quality potatoes be estab- lished in the minds of the consumers, and to do this the Alabama sweet po- tatoes must be properly produced, dug at the proper time stored in properly constructed houses, cured under proper curing methods, and then mar keted in uniform packages after be- ing properly graded.

PRLNCETON,S FIRST SOCCER
LEAGUE TITLE WON ON MERIT
Tigers Victory, Topping Of
Penn and CorneWs Showing
Features Of 1921 College
Season
By DOUGLAS STEWART

THE 1921 season of the Intercollc-
i ciate Association Football League
was notable for three things:
First. The topping Of Pennsylvania
from tho position of champions or run
ner-up into n tie with Haverford and
Harvard for third place.
Second. Tho winning of the cham
pionship for the first time in its history
by Princeton.
Third. The occupation Of second place
by Cornell.
In 1913 PENNSYLVANIA wns in the same
position in tho standing as It Is this
wear: in the spring Of 1914 Penn
missed the championship by one-Eixth
of goal: in tho fall Of 1914 It won
it as it did again in 1916. 1919 and
1920. losing ont by one or two points
In the other years.
In 1916. 1919 and 1920 Princeton
was runncr-up in two of the three sea-
sons playing Pennsylvania for the

has really been a championship con-

Princeton was entitled TO the cham

calibcr Of the team, 1t being the strong

ton has ever had in the field The quail
ity Of game played reminded one of the
Pennsylvania team of last season.
The team work was good not only
among the players. but among the vari-
ous divisions, and this combined with
tho speed and weight of the players, to-
gcthcr with their foot and head work
made them pleasure to behold.

had any real trouble with. winning it,
as they did, on penalty kick.
There is a doubt in my mind as to
whether Princeton really was n better
team on the seasons play than Cornell
Princeton beat Cornell 20 in the first
gnne of this season, but on the form
/ displayed by Cornell in the later games
| am inclined to the belief that Prince
ton was fortunate in playing Cornell
when it did. Man for man the teams
seemed equally good. Princeton having
the advantage at center half with Cor
nell the advantage at center forward.
The team developed at Ithaca thi'
season is surely Cornells best team Sc
far. From goal out it was well bal,

HaverfOrd carried over, like Prince
ton and Cornell. a number Of last sea
sons players, and bid fair to give either
one a hard tussle for the champion
ship. In the game with Pennsylvania.

captain. made his first appearance on
the field in two or three weeks and was
largely instrumental in enabling Hav-
crford to beat Pennsylvania, scoring the
winning goal.

The Harvard team started the season
with seven sophOmorcs with only rheil

season and should raise Harvard con-
