Growing Sweet Potatoes CONNIE
CialIy in Georgia.

sweet potatoes per acre, even
with selected seed, fertilizer and
i. supervision, and sell same at SO
cents a bushel to make a fair
profit, taking into consideration
the certainty of a crop and the
effect of the sweet potato cul-
ture on his land?
The average yield of sweet pota-
toes per acre in Georgia is approx
mately 100 bushels. At 60 cents a
bushel, this would gross the land
owner therefore about $50. When
he pays for his seed, slips and the
setting out, cultivation and fertiliza-
ton of the crop, his expenditures
per acre will gross somewhere be-
tween $25 and $35. The more eff
ficient man will raise the crop for
the lower figure, and the less eff
Gent, for the higher. The cost of
harvesting, grading and storing of
the crop will add quite a bit to his
cost as we'll. If farmer can re-
ceive so cents per bushel for field
run of potatoes, therefore, he can
make a fair margin of profit and
could undertake t. raise and sell the
crop on this basis. On the other
hand, if he expects to select his
crop and grade it before it is sold,
we do not think his margin Of profit
would amount to anything.
1t is doubtful if the ordinary crop
of sweet potatoes will grade out
ewo-thirds No. Is. With yield of
100 bushels per acre, we think the
average of No. is would be nearer
fifty than sixty-six bushels. Under
exceptionally favorable soil condi-
tons, the larger returns may be OBJ
tanned. OF course the one-third or
more of the sweet potato crop which
the farmer would naturally keep at
home has a relatively law value eX
cept as food for hogs or other
classes of live stock which he main
tains on Ne farm. He cannot Sc
crre substantial return therefore
for this part of the crop. For
Graded sweet potatoes, we feel quite
sure the average farmer would have
10 scure a minimum of so cents per
bushei in order to grow this crop
on a basis that would yield him any
reasonable measure of profit.

"Of course the lads, being a decent

had done so much for them, and adj

when they got married, they looked
forward to their wives also loving

happened. 1 have never known of a
single case in which the wife was
not insanely jealous of the older
woman, and who did not regard her
as a sort of female ogre who was
about 20 eat up her little lamb.
Before a man is married there are
many houses in which he is on so
familiar a footing that he is almost
like a member of the family, but his
wife never lets him carry these in
timacies into his new life. The first
thing she does is to freeze out all of
his old women friends on the suspic-

dark intrigue between them. That

BENEVOLENT WORK
FOR BOYS

Miss Martha Berry is not the only
Georgia woman who has devoted her
private fortune and her personal in
terest to the betterment OF boys. Mrs.
Anna Dodge of St. Simons Island has
operated a children's home on her St.
Simon Island estate for thirty years.
At Is they have been allowed to leave
the school and after that they have
not all made good to the extent that
they were expected to do, so now she
has associated some friends and ex-
perts with her in planning of voca-
tional school similar to Miss Berry's
school which she has just recently Wis
tied with that purpose in mind. There
W II be no charges made but it is hop
cd that the work of the boys on the
farm will make it as nearly self-sus-
tanning as possible. Mrs. Dodge is
donating 1000 acres OF land valued at
S2O0,OOO and cash gifts for building
fund are coming in since she declared
her plans and appointed board of
trustees, including the governor of the
State, who will be self perpetuating.

PAST DUE TAXES
in TWO COUNTIES
PAID BY A. B. & A.
Check for $4,000 to Cover Macon and
Talbot County Tax Debts Re-
ceived at Capitol

ATLANTA, Oct 25-Check in the
amount OF $4,000 was received at the
State capitol on Wednesday from the
A. B. & A. railway as part payment
of back taxes due by t., ) road, which
has been N the hands CT a receiver
for several years
This check was to be applied on tai
es due in Macon and Talbot Counties
1t was stated by the receiver that an
other payment on overdue taxes, to-
apply to other counties, would probab-
ly be made in the next week or two,
1t will be recalled that the question
OF overdue taxes by this railroad came
up on the floor of the house during the
last session OF the general assembly.
Since that time papers asking for an
order compelling immediate payment
have been filed in the federal courts
by Assistant Attorney General Gress.
Mr.. Gress stated Wednesday that he
had been assured by officials Of the
road that ever yeffort would be made
to pay the taxes due the state and that
with this tangible evidence in, hand the
sincerity of these assurances, he would
not press for legal action at once. Mr..
Gress takes the attitude that what the
state desires is the money due and that
1t does not want to force junking Of
the road.
However. the attorney stated that
he would continue the action in the
courts at the first indication that pay
mcnts were not being made as fast as
possible

OF clarity the wonderful addition to the sum total
OF our prosperity this great industry is providing

Unquestionably, within few years, the pecan will
be to South Georgia everything, and perhaps more,
than the orange and grapefruit industries have been

crty County, cooperative selling organization, has
400 members and easily will handle 100000 pounds
of pecanS this The total crop for Georgia is
estimated at 100000 pounds This will bring into
the state within 90 days, some 100000 to the
growers.
There is a great and wonderful future for South
Georgia in this industry and perhaps for other
sections of the state for that matter for pecans have

MIXING BRAINS WITH GASOLINE

ing from survey recently taken by the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce, an automobile
is very much like advertising space--its value de-
ponds largely on the grey matter employed in US
ing it. The value is there--the greatest value -
providing the possibilities of the product be sensed
Peculiarly in the use OF the motor car the real
brains found in the country and not in the cit
les. We are told for example, that the most over
worked hired man does not begin to perform the
number OF odd jobs performed by the automobile
on the farm. Fity-two farmers report using their
cars to supply power for saving wood to haul sup
plies from the cities to carry dressed meat to the
market, 10 transport WatcrmelOns, peas peanuts
and sugar cane. Some use their cars to take their
grain to the mill, others to bring COWS from pas
ture. Still others their carry ice in sum
mcrtime, to workers in the field, and quite few
to pull up stumps
Perhaps the most ingenious OF the auto com
es from the West, where farmer says: "The
storage battery on my car lights my garage and
furnishes power for an electric drill | also use
the car to a grindstonc and small mill to
grind feed. During the haying season | use it to
unload hay.
Under these circumstances an automobile is

ton The replies show that 40 per cent of the cars

VALUE IN MEANS AND END
is 1T PROVIDENCE?

1t looks like a plain case of the
farmers providing themselves with the
boil wcevil pest when riding through
the country and seeing these weevil in
tested fields standing unmolested in
spit OF all advice to the contrary. The
stalks are dead and dry now. and lust
before the fall rains begin would be
the finest possible time to, pull and
burn and pillow under the ashes. All
advice is to the point that these appar-
emily dead fields are still giving life
and further propagation to the weev-
lis. Why, oh why then do they stand
as a menace to next years crops. Is
there anything more important than
this in farm work just now?
