carsful examination is made Of their

there are potatoes there with rotten

them, Such potatoes should not be

disessed and the disease will be
mgead to the potatoes when the crop
% gathered the next fall. which means
that no matter what method is used
or how carefully one tries to keep the
potatoes the ATTEMPT viii be failure.
Diseased potatoes, whether in bank

time. Therefore, the first considera-
ton is to keep diseased potatoes
away from those we wish to store.
The next essential which has much
to dc with successful storage is care

fank than through any ether cause
Nearly every grower has his own
method Of digging, but most growers
make the mistake of roughly hand,
Iing the potatoes by either allowing
them to be thrown in heaps, into
wagons, crates or boxes. The sweet
potato is one of the crops that is cas-
ily, damaged by handling and for thi:
reason care should be used. The po'
tatoonce bruised or with its skin brok

The less the potato is handled the
better chances it has of passing sue

SOCIAL EQUALITY
URGED BY CALDER
Permit Your Children to AS.
sociate with Foreign Born,
He Says.

Senator William Calder, address
ing the Delaware State Society in
the Wilson Normal School Iast
night, explained his experiences with
the Americanization problem, and
suggested as a remedy the obliterat-
ing of the American social caste
lines.
Declaring that. with all Americas s
alleged broad and liber-
ality, there were social levels to
which the only open Sesame" was
hard cash, Calder urged the women
of Washington and elsewhere ito
overlook the fact that they are
daughters of So-and-so; to permit
their children to associate with the
children of the foreign born; to sit
1t dinners and socials without con-
structing impenetrable social walls
between the person in the next seat
who does not happen to be Of promI-
nent social lineage. In so doing, he
said, they will bring to America
what all the education OF aliens
cannot.
Il believe in free speech and free,
If true, criticism of the American
government by Americans" said
Calder. But as for those aliens
who follow the principles laid down
by a few radicalists who gain in
fiuenCe by the sameness Of language,
they should keep their mouths shut
or be kicked out of the country"
