OUR POTATO CROP
If Tift does not become the banner
county for potatoes, it surely will not
be the fault of Ty Ty. Before there wag
any thought of a potato house here a few
men of this place were engaged in
“whoopin’ er up” for potato raising and
now they are beginning to get results.
Representatives of the Potato House
Company going through the county last
week brought back an encouraging re-,
port’ A large acreage, a good crop and
no doubt about getting the thousands of
bushel^ necessary to fill the potato house.
Sweet potatoes are an almost sure crop
easily raised and not subject to disease
and they grow in greatest perfection
right here. If groundpeas must be eli
minated ns hog feed Inhere is nothing like
potatoes for a comparatively inexpensive
substitute.
Heretofore the great problem about po
tato culture was in keeping them after
they were made and this is solved by
the potato house. The company furnishes
one-bushel crates and these arc taken to
the fields where the potatoes are put di
rectly into them. This does away with
all the unnecessary handling which has
been largely responsible for the waste in
sweet potatoes. Potatoes are shipped in
these same crates in which they were
gathered.

though as the average concern or indivi

Some of the old-timers the back-num

LITTLE NO WORSE THAN WHEAT
A recent number of one of the most
popular periodicals in America has
story in which a ghost—a lady ghost—
figures. The lady had been dead thir
teen years, and she wears a very plain
suit, shirtwaist and pique skirt, mads in
the fashion of her day. Pasting over the
fact that pique had already “gone out'
thirteen years ago, the question is, where
did the ghost get that suit? She was ,*
woman of consequence, wealthy and she
sqrely was not burled in such clothes,
and if they were procured In the other
world, then we have been misled as to
the style of garments worn there.
In another story, In the same period
ical the vestrymen of an Episcopal church
are represented as inviting a political
candidate to make a speech in their
churth. A thing of that kind ia never
allowed in an Episcopal church* and, be

such matters. Titles of all chnrch prop
erty are vested in the Bishop of the Dio
cese, and even he cannot always manage
