sential to the making of a valid list.
He also impressed upon the listers the
fact that it is the duty of the taxpaycF
to make out his own list rather than
to have the lister make it out for him.
Some taxpayers prefer 10 have the
listers make out the lists so that if anv
question arises the responsibility can
be shifted to the listers shoulders

tentlon of the listers To the faae thar

Harvesting. Handling and Grading
Sweet Potatoes

Harvest sweet potatoes when ma
tare but before killing frost. You
can test the maturity by breaking a
Dotaeo. If mature the broken sur
face will heal over white when expos
Cd to the air and sunshine. If not
mature, the surface will turn a green
OF black spotted color.
# killing frost should occur be-
fcre the potatoes are harvested, cut
the vines from the potato at once to
prevent the frost from entering the
tubers.
Every precaution should be used TO
prevent potatoes from becoming
bruised or cut. A large turn p!ow OF
middle buster IS the cest plow most
OF Us have for the purpose. Pick up
the potatoes and lay them down.
Don't throw them about from place
to place. Probably more potatoes
ere lost by growers from careless
handling than from all other causes.
Grading
If intended for the market all po-
.atoes should be carefully graded in
the field, and if intended for home
use, all cut or bruised potatoes should
be taken out for immediate use.
Official Commercial Grades
Grade No. Diameter l 3-4 inch
es: length i inches to 10 inches. Note
The length may be less than 4 inches
# the diameter is 2 IA.
Grade No. 2-Diameter l l-2 inch
es to 3 1-2 inches; any length.
All grades should consist of souno
sweet potatoes o. similar variety
characteristics which are practically
free from dirt, decay. cuts, sears
c,s 2ks, OF damage of any kind.
1t is recommended that only No.
potatoes be placed in the storage

National Council Would Have Farmer
Borrow From Farm Loan Banks.
Washington, D. C.-Legislation max.
ing it possible for the farmer to bor-
row from farm loan banks for nine
month periods and in individual sums
up to $4,000 was advocated in a legis-
lative policy adopted by the National
Council Of Farmers Cooperative Mar.
keting associations, meeting In con-
vention here.
1t was adopted as part of the gen,
eral policy Of the council that the pri.
mary reliance of the farmer for credits
for production or marketing should be
upon local bankers. Modification OF
the federal reserve system was urged
to meet special farm credits require
ments and it was also recommended
that the maximum limit for loans on
agricultural paper to cooperative mar
keting associations be increased.
