SEED SWEET POTATOES

oLED NV EE V 1 "A OEto
 Now is the time to figure on your seed sweet potatoes for next year. Very few of the sweet potato patches of this county are free from dis ease. Both black rot and stem rot are scattered over most parts of the county and many farmers do not know the two diseases when they see them. If yeu are not ab- solntely sure that your pota- toes are free from both, go into your patch and get cut tings from healthy plants and set them out on ground that has never been in sweet pota- toes before, or if such cannot be found, on ground that has not been in sweet potatoes for the last four or five years. Save your seed from this patch, keep them from com ing in contact with diseased potatoes while in storage and you will have disease-free seed for next year. If present plans work out next year will see several cooperative sweet potato storage houses in the county and it will be the farm CT who puts good potatoes in storage who will realize a good profit on them. You cannot expect to make any thing out of your potatoes if they rot while in storage, and they will rot in storage if they are diseased when you put them in the house. A little time spent in this way now will mean good seed for next year; good seed for next year will mean good potatoes to put in storage, and good po- tatoes stored properly will mean money to you during the winter. Don't fail to take this precaution.

cooperative plan Saturday, July 9. There is still room for about 15 hogs in the car. Bring yours in early and bring feed for about two days.
 If you are planning to build any kind of farm buildings this summer, consult the coun- ty agent about the plans. The United States Department of Agriculture has plans for barns, silos, chicken houses, hog houses, sweet potato stor- age houses, and many other kinds that are free for the asking. Make use of this in- formation.
 It is about time to plan for the fall garden especially the fall potato patch. These things will come in mighty handy for fall use.
 Hog Cholera has been re- ported in two or three more sections of the county. If yours have not already been immunized 1t is time to have the work done now. Do not wait until 1t gets in your herd. The county agent will be glad to help you with this work at any time.
 The following is an extract from news item in the Ga zette of June 27: "StraWber- ry growers in the vicinity of McRae the past season netted $322, ,544 from their crops. One grower netted $2,420.33 from three acres"
 Is the climate of Indepen- denee County so different from that of White County that we cannot accomplish the same results here? With a soil that is as well, if not better, adapted to the growing of strawberries than that of White County, it seems that the farmers of Independence County are asleep on the job. Are we going to sit back and admit by our inaction that the farmers of the adjoining coun- ty have more "get up and go" in them than we have? Have you an acre of land on your farm that is netting you more than $800.00 per year? Don't you think that it is about time for us to get in behind the strawberry industry in this county and push it to the front? Men here have made good money out of this crop and could make more if there were enough grown to justify an association that could con- duct it's business in a business like way. Think this over, talk it over with your wife and your neighbor and then increase your acreage next year.
