Certified Sweet Potatoes

The sweet potato inspection
and certification service now car
ried on by the State Plant Boards
of Arkansas and Mississippi will
in the course of the next ten
years mean the saving ofmillions
of bushels of potatoes to the
farmers of these states. This
service is designed especially to
stop the further spread Of the
three most serious pests of the
sweet potato in this country,
Black Rot, Stem Rot and the
Sweet Potato WeeviI.
Investigations made last year
by the Mississippi Plant Board
showed that great quantities OF
sweet potatoes and sweet potato
plants infected with Black Rot
were being brought nto the state
from other states and were be.
ing moved from place to place
within the state. This disease
is, already quite generally dis
tributed throughout Mississippi,
and probably causes more loss
than any othsr pest of the Sweet
Potato. If growers of. sweet
potatoes will really inform them,
selves III regard to this disease
it.can be very easily eradicated,
full information can be obtained
by writing to the Agriculture
Experiment Station, Agricultur-
al College, Mississippi, for Bulle.

of the Sweet Potato in MISSISSIPPI
pi and How to control them, by
Prof. d. {. Neal.
Stem Rot is not as general.
distributed over the state as
Black Rot but is really more Sc
rious as it is much more dlfficuI
to eradicate. Soil that is once
infected will remain infected FL
many years. This disease i.
also discussed in the bulletin
previously mentioned.
The Sweet Potato weevil il
only known to occur on a few
farms in four counties in Missis
sippi, and the State Plant BoarC
in cooperation with the U. S
Bureau of Entomology is endeav
oring to completely eradicate the
pest from the state. This is thu
most serious insect pest of thu
sweet potato, ana IS mucn more
serious in parts of Florid, Louis
lana and Texas than in Missis
sippi. Full information can b.
obtained in regard to this pes

The call Of Christmas is always to
a loving remembrance q &c gra-
cious coming of the Son Of God into
the world TO save men. 1t challenges
us to forgetfulness of self and kindly
hclpfulness to others. Carpen says,
Greatness consists in serving"
Therefore at this time when the Great
Gift was given for the service and
salvation of mankind let us turn our
busy, self-employed minds inward
and compare our lots with the de-
spairing, starving, hopeless condition
of the tens of thousands of Europe's
homeless, suffering humanity and
your hearts will be singing paean
before you know it.
There are souls in the world who
have the gift of finding Joy every
where and leaving it as they pass
along. Let us each try to acquire
this gift for there are so many
around us who need just YOUR low
ing thought, word and act to give
them jov.
To our Friends and Patrons we
