Consolidate Postal With

WASHINGTON. Jan. 3. (UP)-
The federal communications COM
mission recommended today that
congress authorize the consolida-

Postal Telegraph companies.
In a report filed by FEC Chair
man James L. Fly with the senate

commission said that consolidation
of the existing companies Into one
or more unified systems is an OBJ
vious remedy for unsound manage
ment policies and destructive COM
petition.
The proposed consolidation also
would more effectively provide for
communication needs incident TO
national defense, it said.
The commission recommended
that legislation be enacted remov-
ing existing prohibitions against
such a consolidation, but did not
suggest specific legislation. 1t rec
commended that the scope of con-
solidation be left to the discretion
of the FEC. No suggestions were
made for the International Tele-

The following information w a S
prepared by o. B. Garrison, AS
sistant Horticulturist, Edisto Elk
pertinent Station, Blackville, S. c.,
and used at the 1910 convention OF
the Assoc. alton of Southern Agri.
cultural Workers:
Preliminary to an extensive in
vestigation of the problems involv.
ed in sweet potato production, Ger.
tain field experiments were con-
Quoted in 1889. The results which
were obtained in one experiment,
the object of which was to deter
mine the influence of the height
of bed on the yield and shape OF
sweet potatoes, are presented in
this paper.
In conducting the experiment
plats C-130 Al were established
on a shallow-phase Marlboro san
dy loan soil. A 1873 fertilizer was
applied at the rate of 1000 pounds
per acre in rows 80" apart. Beds
of different heights were prepared
in quadruplicated 2 row plats. Their
approximate heights and designa-
tons were as follows: Q) Low,
OPP, 90 Medium, 8"-1O", co
High, 12"-14'. Vines of the Louis
lana strain of the Porto Rico va
riety we're set 10" apart on all
plats. At harvest records e r e
made relative to yield and shape.
The results with yields w h j C h
obtained show y that the
of U. S. No. 1 sweet potatoes
was significantly higher on the
plats where the medium a n d
"high' beds were established than
on the plats where the Glow" bed
was established, whereas the yield
the plats of the medium and
high" beds did not differ signi-
ficantly, ca that the total yield
tended to increase as the height Of
the bed increased, the increases
being not quite significant perhaps
due to the variability of the soil.
Measurements of length and dia-
meter made on 90 potatoes select
ed from each lot show that the
was influenced by the height
of the bed on which they were
grown. The mean length of the po-
tatoes increased significantly in d.
rect proportion to the height of the
bid. The mean diameter of the po-
grown on the .1ow'' hed WAS
significantly greater than the mean
of the potatoes grown on
the medium and high beds.
These preliminary results sug-
gest that a higher yield of sweet
potatoes, which are longer a n d
more desirable in shape, is pro-
duced on a medium or high bed
than on a low bed. However, it is
necessary to point out that these
results were obtained in an unus-
Tally dry growing season. 4

crops. One of the most outstand-

longed to Floyd Hammond, of the
Cerro Gordo section. The stalks
were tall, green and strong, and
they had fine large ears
The cotton patches that we saw
in the Finkley, Green Sea a d
other South Carolina sections look
ed fine. There was but little talk of
boil weevils. H. c. Hammond told
us that for the past two years in
the Finkley section the farmers
have been hard hit. But many had
fine strawberry patches this year,
got encouraging returns from
them, and now that their tobacco
looks the best of three years, they
are very hopeful of good sales this
fall.
We we're talking with John Stok-
ley, who is farming with H. A.
