Can The Surplus of
Sweet_Potato Crop
Andrew M. Sou.e, Pres. Georgia State
College Of Agriculture
The canning of sweet potatoes is a
matter of great importance, and on
this account considerable attention
has been directed to this problem by
the Georgia State College of Agricul
ture. Two years ago an instructor was
appointed in the Department of Hor
ticulture in the person of Prof. R. E.
Blackburn. In addition to his teaching
work, he undertook Investigations
with the canning of sweet potatoes in
the hope of discovering a cheap and
desirable method of preserving them.
It is important to remember that the
potato should not be allowed to cool
from start to finish of the processing.
The experiments indicate that sweet
potatoes may be canned successfully
in quite a number of different ways.
Among those which have given the
greatest degree of satisfaction are,
first, the direct, open process which
requires about five hours; second, the
intermittent open process which takes
one hour a day for three days in suc
cession; third, the use of steam at a
pressure of five pounds and requiring
two hours to complete the work;
fourth, steam under ten pounds pres
sure and requiring about seventy-five
minutes; and fifth, steam under fif
teen pounds pressure and requiring
about fifty minutes to complete the
work.
The first two methods would, of
course, be better adapted for use In
the farm home than the latter three.
■ It was found after many trials that
sugar syrup is of little value in the
canning of sweet potatoes. In other
words, it is best to pack them dry.
It is advised in conclusion that
steam be used in the canning of sweet
potatoes even in the home. A small
canner will cost about sls. The pota
toes may be successfully peeled by
hand if cooked for forty-five minutes.
They should be packed while hot and
the cans sealed. Tin is preferable to
glass for sweet potatoes. The pro
cessing should be done under ten
pounds pressure continued for seven
ty-five minutes. The cans should be
cooled by filling the retort with cold
water before the cans have a chance
to air-cool, or just as soon as the pro
cessing period i* over, and the steam
then be allowed to escape from
‘he retort.

TO KEEP HOG CHOLERA
FROM REACHING YOUR
HERD
Dr. A. L. Hirleman, U. 8. Vet. Field
Agt., Ga. College Of Agriculture
Locate your hog lots and pastures
away from streams and public high
ways, and do not allow your hogs to
run free range.
Do not visit your neighbor or allow
him to visit you, if either of you have
hog cholera on your premises.
Do not drive into hog lots when re
turning from market or after driving
on public highways.
Do not use hog lots for yarding
wagons and farm implements.
Do not place newly purchased stock,
stock secured or loaned for breeding
purposes, or stock exhibited at county
fairs, with your herd. Keep such stock
quarantined at least two weeks, and
use Care to prevent carrying infection
from these to other pens in feeding
and attending stock.
Burn to ashes or cover with quick
lime and bury under four feet of
earth all dead animals and the vis
cera removed from animals at butch
ering time because they attract the at
tention of buzzards, dogs, etc., which
are liable to carry hog cholera infec
tion.
Confine your dogs and do not keep
pigeons unless you confine them.

WINTER LAYERS
D. J. Taylor, Field Agent FouMry, 6a.
State College Of Agriculture '
..| - >
M you expect your pullets to lajjt
this winter you should begin early
to put them in oohdltion to lay. Thu
termers’ wives who make a suecesS
of poultry keeping hive this idea 61
winter eggs in mind all summer and
select for this purpose.
Those pullets that werd late hatched
or were slow in maturing, should 1)6
fed liberally to put on as much growth
and fat as possible to mature them';
but it is the early hatched, well ma
tured pullet that can he most, rcliefi
upon to lay during the winter. Feed
the late hatched piillets liberally oh
corn, wheat and oats, with a masfci
made of wheat seconds or of bran and
shorts, and corn meal with 16 per cent
of commercial meat scraps or cotton
seed meal.
Do not neglect any of the lll'ihgh
that will keep the chickens strong
and healthy. Supply the chickens with
plenty of grit, oyster shell, charcoal
and green feed, and give them the run
of the farm or of a grassy plot. A
weak chicken will lay few eggs any
time of the year, and especially few
during the winter.
Prepare a house for your pullets this
fall so that they will be protected
from severe weather and the rains.
They need this protection to lay large
numbers of eggs.
and is expected to return home
next week.
Regardless of the inclemency
of the weather quite a number
attended the Butts County Fair.
Among the number were Mr.
and Mrs. G. I. Watkins, Miss
Mary Wright, Misses Bessie and
Dovie Bryans, Mr. and Mrs. J.
