The baby of .Mr. and Mrs. Gibson
came very near being Durned last
night. The child was put to bed In
Its crib In the room, with its parents,
an electric blanket being placed in
the bed in order to keep it warm,
and covered with a wool sweater.
The parents awakened at about four
o'clock and found that the bed was
afire, the room being filled with
smoke.
They took up the child Immed
iately and found that the matress
had been burned through to the
spring and the whole thing blazed
up when the covering was taken oft.
The electric blanket had evidently
burned through to the bottom, but
was prevented from spreading
the top by the wool sweater. The
bady was still asleep, not having
been harmed In any way by the fire.
It was a very narrow escape for the
Infant, and a most unusual occur

POTATOES A MOST
IMPORTANT CROP
COVERNMNT BULLETIN STRESS
ES VALUES OF POTATOES
AS A FOOD CROP
Contending that the sweet potato
Is one of the most important food
crop that can be grown In the cot
ton belt and that the acreage could
be greatly Increased without decreas
ing the unit value of the crop, a
special circular or bulletin of strik
ing Interest to fanners that are In
terested In crop diversification, has
just been Issued by the United 3tates
department of agriculture.
It is of special Interest to farmers
of this section Just at this time for
reason df the Interest being man-
fested in diversification and in the
important Industry of catle and boga.
Among other reasons assignor as
to why mbre attention should be
given this crop In the coton belt, Is
the steadily growing demand for the
potato for canning purpose as well
as that thousands of acres could be •
grown profitable for stock feeding.
In discussing the value of sweet
potatoes for livestock the bulletin
says; “The value of sweet potatoes
Is not appreciated by most farmers.
Three to four bushels of sweet po
tatoes are equal to abushel of corn
for hogs and when fed In connection
with cotton soed meal, peanuts, or
other concentrate, they provide a
good ration fof both cattlo and hogs.
All classes of live stock need some
succulent food during the winter
and the sweet potato can be usod
for this purpose to good advantage.
On light soil that will produce 20 to
25 bushels of corn to the acre, 100
to -50 bushels of Rweet potatoes can
be grown with the same care and
attentton. Some farmers who grow
sweet potato6s for market estimate
that the vines and culls left after
harvest are worth $5 to $600 an
acre for ho- feeding purDose.
