STORING SWEET POTATOES Having produced a large amount of certain kinds of crops, it is now up to the grower to so market, store or handle the crop as to insure a profitable return to himself and an adequate supply of food for the consumer. Many crops can be stored for a given length of time with slight deterioration. Othen crops, however, are of a semiperishable na ture and so must be handled with a good deal of skill in order to preserve them for use during the fall and win ter. These suggestions apply with spe cial merit to the sweet potato crop, which must now be regarded as one of our important food crops. Its value will be greater in the eyes of our peo ple this fall and winter than ever be fore. because of the food substitution they will be asked to make in order to meet the requirements of the United States food administration. If we are to save the heat and energy producing foods we must have something satis factory to substitute therefor. Sweet potatoes, for instance, contain .9 per cent of digestible protein, 24.2 per cent of digestible carbohydrate and .3 per cent of fat. They are thus a chiefly heat and energy producing food, and so should be used in the diet for this pur pose. They constitute one of our most valuable vegetables, because with prop er care and handling they can be kept for several months, and so made to take the place, for Instance, of Irish pota toes. Irish potatoes are not grown as extensively in the southeastern states as in some other sections of the coun try. but the sweet potato, which thrives wonderfully well In this section, is more abundant than ever before, and it should be used as largely as possible to re place Irish potatoes on that account. The sweet potato is an important as set in the family dietary because it can be used in so many ways, each method of preparing it seeming to be more appetizing and desirable than the one previously used. The sweet potato must, therefore, be regarded as one of our great standard food crops, and our ability to conserve food and to econo mize in the expenditure of money and provide a wholesome and desirable dietary for the family will be measured in a considerable degree by the success with which we are able to harvest and preserve this crop so that the amount of it needed in any given month until the new crop comes in may be made available to the consuming public. In the state of Georgia for instance, the problem of storing sweet potatoes is acute, for we have produced about 40 per cent more of them than we ever grew before. Apparently, the effort to take care of this crop which its Impor tance merits is not being put forth, and there is a great danger that a large per cent of the potatoes, now they have been grown, may be lost through improper harvesting ajid storing. Moreover, there are a large number of persons who have grown sweet potatoes this year for the first time. They may not be familiar with the process of handling and pre serving the crop which has been follow ed with considerable skill and success by experienced growers tn other years. The best way of storing potatoes, of course, Is by a house or kiln which en ables the owner to dry out the surplus moisture. These houses, of course, cost considerable to build and therefore are not practical for use where only a few bushels of potatoes are to be stored. Those who desire plans for the construc tion of houses holding from a hundred bushels up to several thousand can se cure them free of cost from the state College of Agriculture. Hundreds of these plans have been distributed in Georgia this year and a large number of potato houses have been built on good sized farms and plantations and by vari- I HELPS YOU TRAP FDR ANIMALS KvJrte Trappers will make big It E money this year.

J THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1917. ous co-operative companies and other organizations attempting to handle the crop in a commercial way. It make no difference whether the house Is large or small so It Is built In proper proportion. This is a very important fact to bear in mind, but since the crop is so univer sally grown and so desirable in all re spects as a source of food, it will pay a large per cent of our people to make a little sacrifice and put up a permanent storage house rather than depend on make-shift methods of keeping sweet potatoes which have been followed so long and which It is regrettable to say result In the long run in the loss of from ten to eighty per cent of the crop. The loss of the crop during a year when potatoes sell at a fair price is probably sufficient to pay for the cost of buildinc a satisfactory house or kiln in which to dry and preserve them. The sweet potato crop should not be dug until it is mature. It Is easy to determine when the tubers are ripe. As soon as they are dug. if one is broken open moisture will show all over the surface. When they are mature this dries off almost immediately. When they are green the water stands on the surface for a considerable length of time. Do not dig them when they are green. A completely matured potato will keep much better than a partially matured one. It is desirable to dig the crop as soon as it is mature, but not before. When the crop is ripe, the ma turing process sets in, changing a part of the sugar into starch, restricting the movement of sap and causing the cells of the potato to thicken and the skin to Increase in depth. As a rule, sweet potatoes should DC dug in the morning of a bright day and allowed to stay In the sun until even ing. The bright sunshine helps to dry out a part of the surface water which they contain even when they have reached the proper degree of maturity for digging. It also kills thousands of the germs which cause them to rot. Therefore, several great advantages are obtained by digging early in the morn ing. The potato should be dug and han dled so as to avoid breaking the skin. This point can not be emphasized too strongly. When the skin is smooth and unbroken the fungus which causes the potato io rot can not gain entrance into it; hence the spores which produce rot do not develop. If the potato is bruised or broken m any way they quickly find entrance thereto and soon cause it to decay. Therefore, potatoes should be handled very gently, and all bruised an-i decayed tubers removed from the mas.; tetore any attempt Is made to store them. It is simply a waste of time to bank good and bad po tatoes together. Thousands of persons will be forced to bank their potatoes as this is the only practical means of storing them al their command. To do this it is gener ally best to select a well-drained loca tion and prepare a firm base for the storage pit. A circle six feet in diame ter snould be large enough for the av erage grower. Bank the earth on it to a depth of three or four inches. This will raise the base of the hill above the surrounding ground and insure good drainage. Cover the base of the hill with a good coating of clean dry pin; straw to a depth of two to four inches and thoroughly pack down. Then be gin placing the potatoes on the straw building up a cone-shaped pile until there are from ten to fifteen bushels in it. Larger piles can be made but it is not convenient to have too many pota toes stored in one pit on account of the difficulty of opening and closing at frequent intervals during the winter. When the pile has been made as indi cated let it stand, but if there is the ’.east danger of a light frost, cover the I potatoes with pine straw and then with some other heavy cover to prevent the straw being blown away. If the pota toes are banked under a shelter remove the covering during the day and replace at night. Leave enough pine straw over the potatoes to prevent the direct rays of the sun from striking them. Tn the course of five or six days the pota ' toes will have quit sweating. Then the bank may be covered with pine straw to a depth of say three Inches. Corn stalks can be used as an extra cover and then about four inches of dirt should be put all over the bank. It Is not necessary after the potatoes have sweated out properly to leave an open ing at the top. Some sort of a shelter should be erected to shed water. Po tatoes handled In the manner indicat ed should keep quite satisfactorily. • • • SOWING OATS IN MISSISSIPPI T. L. 0., Ellisville, Miss., writes: I want 'to sow a field of oats about the mid dle of October. It Is gray land with clay foundation. What fertilizer should I use? I Also, how should the land be prepared? On soils such as you describe we would be inclined to suggest the use of 306 pounds of high grade acid phos phate along with at least 100 pounds of sulphate of ammonia, nitrate of soda or cottonseed meal. We would prefer to use either sulphate of ammonia or cot tonseed meal when making the applica tion in the fall of the year. Nitrate of soda is probably the best thing to use as a top dresser in the spring and ac cording to observations It is good prac tice to apply about 100 pounds of nl , trate of soda from February 15 to March 1 15 in the southern part of the state in | which you live and from March 1 to 15 j In the northern part. The fertilizer should be put down i about the time the oats are drilled In. ,It Is best, of course, to so handle It that It will not come In direct contact with the seed The land should be thor oughly prepared. If a good friable seed bed can be secured by the use of disc harrowing, or shallow plowing, it will be an advantage to plant this crop on fairly flrm soil. If drilled in with an ordinary grain drill they should be drill ed In to a fairly good depth, and care taken to leave a furrow between each row and cover up the roots of the oats "Kero-Oil” Engines RSI2I/ I I Save | vr'UrnrrriL" ** Yon sls WITTE ENOINK WORKS . wnnn j to >2OO | i). order to prevent their destruction by freezes. On clay lands where late freezes are likely to occur it is probably best to follow the open furrow method though it is not essential where the land is so well fertilized as we at one time thought. Oats should, of course, be treated for smut before planting. The best way to de this is through the use of one Pint ol 40 per cent formaldehyde, dissolved in a barrel containing fifty gallons of water. The oats should be immersed In this, lifted out and allowed to drain ard then planted as soon as dry. During a period of live years the Texas Rust Proof has made the best yield for us. Bancroft. Fulghum, Cul verson and Virginia Gray following In the order named. Early Ripe has also done well. As to the rate of seeding, our experience would lead us to advise the use of from six to eight pecks of seed. Relatively early seeding has proven the most profitable and desirable. • • • FEEDING MULES ON HULLS AND - COTTON MEAL. \V. A. H., Washington, Ga„ writes: Be cause of the high price of corn and other products for feed, I am thinking of using cottonseed meal and hulls to feed my mules. Please tell me in what proportion these should be fed and bow much per day. I intend to use plenty of roughage along with it. Cottonseed meal and hulls will not make a satisfactory ration for work stock. The meal Is entirely too con centrated and too rich in nitrogen to suit the requirements of this class of live stock, and if fed in excessive quan tities will almost certainly result in the development of what is known as azoturla, a condition brought about by surfeiting the systems of horses and mules with nitrogen. You can use some cottonseed meal in a ration for your horses and mules, however, to good ad vantage. We suggest that you use corn or corn and oats as the base of the ra tion. Y’ou can use say 400 pounds of corn or corn and cob meal, 250 pounds of oats and mix with 100 pounds of cottonseed meal. Feed this ration at the rate of 12 to 16 pounds per day, depending upon the size and age of your horses and mules and the character of work they are performing. If you can not secure oats, use corn in the pro portion of 500 pounds of corn or 600 pounds of corn meal with 100 pounds of cottonseed meal. Hulls are not a very satisfactory food for horses and mules as their digestive organs will not use coarse material of this kind to the best advantage. LSING GROUND CORN STALKS IN MIXED FEED. VV. C., Union City, Ga., writes: Are gronnd corn stalks as satisfactory as a filler in a mixed feed as cottonseed hulls? Corn stover contains about 2.1 per cent protein, 42 4 per cent digestible carbohydrates, and .7 per cent diges tonseed hulls contain .3 per cent diges tible protein, 33.3 per cent digestible carbohydrates, and 1.5 per cent diges tible fat. You will thus see that in so far as nutrition is concerned the corn stover and stalks have a considerable advantage over cottonseed hulls. In tests we have made a good quality of corn stover has proved about equal in feeding value to a fair quality of Ti mothy hay. We can see no reason why corn stover should not be used to re place cottonseed hulls for the purpose jou have in mind. We do not under stand, however, that it is a practica ble or profitable practice for farmers to sell corn stalks and purchase them back on the basis indicated in your let ter. For the town man, however, a mixed feed which he can use direct, without rehandling may answer quite well. No doubt there is some economy in handling feeds as you propose to handle them for this class of consum ers. The farmer and all others who can follow this practice will find It more desirable to grow their own rough age and purchase such additional con centrates as may be necessary. • • • FEEDING A COW RECOVERING FROM TICK FEVER. C. E. W., Broxton, Ga„ writes: I bought a heifer calf from the north about a year . ago, and ahe does not do well. She got lull of ticks and I had her dipped. I have given her stock powders, but they do not seem to do any good. She has scours all the time. Please tell me what to do for her. Your heifer is undoubtedly suffering from the after effects of tick fever. When once an animal carries a heavy tick infestation a large number of mi croparasites remain in the blood. These attack and destroy the red corpuscles in the blood, thus producing an anemic i condition. They remain in the circula tory system for an indefinite length of time and a lack of thrift and vitality will be noted in the heifer for some time to come. As a means of combating the scours I should advise you to give a quart of raw linseed oil so as to thoroughly cleanse the digestive tract. After this feed nothing but easily digestible feeds. A mixture of equal parts of bran and oats will be most satisfactory. Do not feed more than the cow will eat up clean and with appreciable relish. Grad ually increase the allowance as her ap petite improves. Such feds as cotton seed meal, hulls and velvet beans should be withheld for the present. Above all things, do not allow ticks to get on her again. • • • OPERATING A TWO-HORSE FARM. J. L. 8., Soperton, Ga., writes: This is my first year farming in the piney woods. I am a one-horse farmer, but as I can rent better land by taking two horses than one as labor Is S'-arce, I am thinking of taking the two-horse farm, but have no labor but myself and wife. Wonld you advise me to do this? Which breed of bogs would he best to resist cholera aa 1 find it to be very frequent here? If situated as you are, I would under take to rent the two-horse farm for the simple reason that a horse, if properly handled, should be able to perform more than the equivalent in labor of one man. As the war progresses the labor problem will become more and more difficult and we must depend, therefore, on the use of a larger percentage of horses and mules as well as Implements to take the place of the lesser amount of man labor available for agricultural operations. Using two horses in place of hand labor simply means that you must study the question more careful ly, plan the operations of your farm early in advance and aim to so plant and distribute the crops as to enable you to cultivate and harvest a greater proportion of them with the aid of horse labor. Present indications indicate that good prices are likely to prevail for farm crops for some time to come owing to the world’s shortage of foods and the labor situation will become intensified by war conditions. There is no one best breed of hogs adapted to Georgia. Any of the standard breeds will do well under wise manage ment and careful handling. I do not think it can be said that one breed will resist cholera better than another. The thing for you to do is to enlist the serv ices of your county demonstration agent I and have him demonstrate to you how ! to use preventive serum and so inocu- I late your hogs at the right time, ellm j inatlng all danger of cholera. This treatment is not expensive or compllcat | ed. If you have no county agent you j can secure bulletins and information which wll explain to you how to proceed along the lines indicated. In other words, we are simply advising you to take out hog insurance just as a man would take out insurance for his wife and family. A RELIGIOUS WORLD OR A RUINED WORLD “We Cannot Make the World Safe by Physical Force Alone —For the Moment We Must Use Force to Make War on War, But That Is Only a Temporary Expedient.” By Bishop W. A. Candler. Men are so deluded by their senses , that they underestimate the force of ideas and over-estimate the facts of force. But ideas rule the world, making wars and bringing peace, inspiring con flicts and settlings contentions The saying of Thomas Carlyle that ‘‘a book is often more decisive than a bat tle,” is therefore, most true. One of Cicero’s disputations, in which the great Roman orator justified and glorified death by one's own hand, pro duced a shocking crop of suicides among his contemporaries. The truths which Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles, proclaimed in the jail at Phillipi, stayed the suicidal purpose of the jailer, set Christianity on its path of power in Europe, and still in fluences for good a war-worn world. Religious ideas are the most potent of all; they take hold of the spiritual ele ment in human nature, which is the su preme element. Whether such Ideas be true or false, they sooner or later, set up, or pull down, social and political in stitutions, and make or mar civilization, when once they are accepted by men or nations. The tenets of Mohammedanism have made the cruelist superstitions and the bloodiest wars. .The martyred nation of Armenia is dying today because the false prophet preached his diabolical doctrines centuries ago In Arabia These reflections are especially ap plicable to the origin and methods of the awful war which Germany has forc ed upon the world. Mankind stands aghast at the hideous conflagration. It is attributed to Prussian militarism, to ths junker faction, and all that; but this explanation of the case does not explain. These fiery forces are results of deep religious forces; they are not the ultimate cause of the war. Back of them, and giving rise to them, are the teachings which have prevailed in the German universities, especially in the University of Berlin. In those centers of education and in fluence has prevailed a destructive ra tionalism, which hag destroyed faith in Christ and overthrowm belief in the Holy Scriptures. But the human heart can not do with out some sort of religion. The religious instinct is deathless, and when It is deprived of the nourishment and satis faction of a true faith it turns to the false. Hence, skepticism generally ends in superstition, and the reaction of pro longed unbelief is credulity. The leading minds of Germany having lost faith In Christ have reverted to paganism, and from their paganism has issued barbarious etchical standards. This seems almost Incredible, but never theless it is true. The leaders of German thought and the directors of German policies have turned back to the worship of Thor and Odin, the gods of their barbarious an cestors. They have retained some of the terminology of Christianity and they continue to conform to certain Christian ceremonies, but under these disguises the old paganism of the Teutonic tribes has returned to curse the world. In Longfellow’s “Saga of King Olaf,” the ancient German war god, Thor, is made to speak in lines like these: “Force rules the world. Has ruled it, will rule It, Meekness is weakness, Strength is triumphant Over the whole earth; Still Is it Thor's day.” These sentiments are identical in substance with the teachings of l Treischke and others who have filled the German universities with this “doc trine devils.” General Bernhardi, in his shameless book, “Germany and the Next I War,” appeals to these authorities for support of his heathenish contentions in that treatise. Poets, historians and i philosophers of Germany have echoed[ and re-echoed the same sentiments dur- | ing the last fifty years. Forty years ago, Felix Dahn, the Ger man poet, revived the mythical legend j of Thor, the war god of the ancient | Germans, throwing his hammer from the forrests of the north to the fai ; south and asserting his right to all the world, and Dahn sang these barbarlout ; lines: “Since then ‘tls the joyous German right With the hammer lands to win. We mean to inherit the world-wide might As the Hammer —God’s kith and kin.” And Dohn’s words have met a warm j response in the heart of the German na tion. It is a mistake to assume that the German people are not heart and soul j with the kaiser and his war-lords in all their schemes and policies These pagan principles have been inculcated in the i minds of th e German people by the edu- | cators of Germany since 1810, when J the University of Berlin was founded. Several generations have been brought up on such intellectual diet until it has entered into the very blood of the na tion and colors and controls its life. These evil principles and this savage spirit of paganism have filled the minds of the mature men and fired the imagi nations of the youth of Germany. It was scarcely a year before the out breaking of the present war when the - “Young German Association” published | the following savage utterance: "War is the noblest and holiest expression of human activity. For us, too. the glad great hour of bat tle will strike. Still and deep in the German heart must live the joy of | battle and the longing for it. Let us ridicule to the utmost the old wom en in breeches who fear war and deplore it as cruel and revolting. No! War is beautiful. Its august sublimity elevate the heart beyond the earthly and the common. In the cloud palace above sit the heroes, Frederick the Great and Blucher, and all the men of action—the great emperor, Moltke, Roon. Bismarck are there as well- But not the old wom en who would take away our joy of war. When here on earth a battle is won by German arms, and the faithful dead ascend to heaven, a Potsdam lance-corporal will call the guard to the door and ‘Old Fritz* springing from his golden throne, will give the command to present Get This Oaf And ths AGENCY Your Territory \ Drive a naw 1918 Modal Barr rchSuw-Foor Prompt \ ehlpmaata.

SASITAkY MODINQ QO,Oop<. 61«, Obwrloite,n.a arms That is the heaven of Young Germany.” There is a proclamation of paganism as bald and undisguised as the veriest heathen might have framed and pro claimed; and with It the German leaders, both civil and military, agree with one accord. % The land of Luther has relapsed into barbarism, and now pursues a pro gramme of frightfulness as savage as any ever followed by the Huns and the Vandals. Painted savages never went on the w’ar path mare fiercely, and tne crimes perpetrated against women and children with the scalping knife by American Indians were never worse than the cruelties inflicted by the German sol diery upon the women and children or Belgium. No massacre by the Red Men of North America has ever exceeded in enormous cruelty the assassination of the victims slain when the Lusitania was sunk. These outrages have been wrought more scientifically, but not less barbariously, than the bloody deeds of Comanche warriors. The horror of it all is that a nation, with great educational institutions and all the instrumentalities of civilization, has reverted to barbarism in the most enlightened age of the world. It behooves us to lay to heart the lesson of the case; for by nature we are no better than they. It we adopt the same methods we shall arrive at the same end. Intellectual culture without religion can not safe-guard civilization, i There is nothing in what is called civ ilization to preserve itself. It contains in itself the seeds of its own destruc tion without the saving salt of Christi anity. This fact must be faced square ly; for there is no disputing that it is a fact. The United States, with enormous wealth, will revert to barbarism if God is forsaken by our people and the re ligion of Christ ceases to influence their lives. Our riches and power will but hasten our doom. Moreover nations can not live to them selves. Each helps or hurts in a great er or less degree all the rest. We have not concerned ourselves much about the ruinous rationalism prevalent In German universities. Not a few American students and educators have affected its whims and have sought to promote its power in our own Institu tions. We are now paying the cost of such monstrous folly. Heavy burdens of taxation are laid upon us to make the world safe against the menace of German kultur. Many thousands of our sons must be sacrificed for the same cause. Allowing a sister nation to re lapse into barbarism before our eyes, without putting forth any effort to save it, has proved to be a most costly sin of omission. If we allow China and Japan to ac quire the arts of war more rapidly than they acquire Christianity, we shall have to pay before many years have elapsed an even greater bill of damages for our criminal negligence. We can not make the world safe by physical force alone. For the moment we must use physical force to make war on war; but that is only a tempora ry expedient. The increasing cost of war makes it an impracticable means for securing 'permanently the safety of the human race. The world must be safe guarded by the majesty of the moral law, and the moral law can not be en throned in the conscience of mankind without faith in and subjection to the divine Law-giver. We must have a relig ious world or a ruined warld. Save from 80 to 50< on all your groceries by buying di rect from us at wholesale prices- Cm °, n *’ profl to. We guarantee quality absolutely.

VA A Good Tractor to Own A MOGUL 10-20 kerosene tractor will go a long way toward solving your labor and expense problems. Men who use this tractor properly say it does as much plowing, disking and harrowing in rush seasons as three men and nine horses. In the heat of the harvest fields, and for - plowing, three four-horse teams can hardly keep up with it, because it works steadily all day long. Besides, it is so simple that almost anyone can learn to handle it efficiently. A few days’ training in the handling of a kerosene engine is usually all that is needed. . These two features make the Mogul 10-20 highly desir able. Add to them the fact that it operates on a fuel that you can always buy, and at a reasonable price, and you have a power plant that is hard to beat for all-the-year-round work in the field or at the belt. . You know the standing and reputation of Mogul tractors. When you buy a tractor, don’t overlook this good, simple, reliable, economical three-plow Mogul 10-20.
