1t is rather difficult to tell what

different diseases, requiring different
treatments, which may be known as
blight. There is leaf blight which
requires spraying with Bordeaux, a
fungus wilt which requires the use Of
resistant varieties, and bacterial

Gu ing Sweet Potatoes

The factors that make for success
i'll. curing sweet potatoes, says T.. l..
IlarkC Chief of the Division of Mar
kcts, which has charge of 1hc opera
ton of sweet potato curing houses
are: First, control of moistucr, and
second, uniform temperature. The
following rules for the operation of
curing houses arc given.
When the house is filed, raise tenn
perature to around 80 to 85 degrees.
AT the same time give the house all
possible ventilation.
Maintain Il temperature Of from 80
to S5 degrees during the curing pc
riod, which is usually from 10 to
IA days, depending upon the wealth
CT and condition of potatoes.
Give the house al lposaible vcntila-
ton during the curing period, if
weather will permit.
Keep a close watch on the house
during the curing period and main
tain as uniform a temperature as pos
sible.
Close the floor vcntilators and
doors at night if there is likelihood
of frost. Close the to pvcntilators in
cold or rainy weather.
When the curing period is over
(this can be told by an examination
of potatoes, fthcy have n vclvety
feeling or the eyes or buds of the po-
tatocs show signs Of sprouting
throughout the house, then they have
been properly curcd), reduce the tenn
perature to between SO and GO de-
grccS.
Examine the house each day. When
,'ampncss is found, omen the ton ven
tilators and use a little fire if ncces-
sary. Watch the house to keep down
all moisture, using best of Judgment
at all times in ventilatin gand heat
ing.
Every house should be provided
with number Of good standard ther-
momctcrs. One should be placed near
the floor and one near the top of the
house SO that the check may be kept
on heat and ventilation.
Place one man and one man only
in charge Of the sweet potato stor-
age house.

season. Extension Circular 25 tells
how to make the sprays needed and
when to apply them.

Destroy Cotton Stalks Now

Mr.. Farmer, have your cotton
stalks been destroyed? if not, Why ?
Are Clarendon County farmers in
such good financial condition that
they can afford to neglect this mat
ter?
Tests all over South Carolina show
Carolina show most encouraging re-
suits fro mthc Intelligent use of cal
who refuses to destroy his cotton
next summer may be compared with
the fellow who refuses to insure his
house because the town has fire
department.
Some farmers are inclined to lay
the blame for the non obstruction of
their stalks upon the tenants. This
may be true in some cases. But, Mr.
Landlord, are you willing to ackllow-
ledge that 4 shiftlcss tenant is going
to be the boss in the management of
your farm? Labor conditions are
now such that one can we'll afford to
make The fellow who won't do, move
on.
O nthc average, I find our intolli-
gent and energetic tenants, whether
white or black, ready to cooperate in
the fight against the Wccvil.
Control of the boil wccvil by stalk
destruction and other measures in
their season is Of equal importance
to landlord, tenant and business man.
Then, let us all go to it with q will
and show the world the kind of stuff
that Clarendon County men are made
