Curing and Storing of
The Sweet Potato Crop.
The curing and storing of,
sweet potatoes in specially con
structed storage houses 90 that
they will remain in first class
condition throughout the winter
has long since passed the experi
mental stage. If the grower will j
do his part in the way of growing
well matured, disease free pota- J
toes and handle them with care
in harvesting, he may feel a cer
tain sense of security that his
potatoes will keep through the
winter when placed in a modern
sweet potato storage house.
There are a number of types of
sweet potato storage houses now
in use that are giving satisfacto
ry service. They all, however,
adhere strictly to a few and very
essential and under lying princi
ples. These are provisions for
heat, ventilation and the preven
tion of certain’Huctuation in tem
peratures after the close of the
curing period.
The ordinary coal stove is one
of the common devices for heating i
sweet potato storage houses.
However, oil stoves and steam
pipes are also used for this pur
pose. The heat is started as the
potatoes are brought in and the
temperature of the storage room
is maintained at a temperature of
from 85 to 90 degrees, for 8 or 10
days or until the potatoes show
slight signs of sprouting.
Houses built following the
plans of the U. S. Dept, of Agri
culture are generally most satis
factory. Where one of these
houses is to'servea community of
growers, it should be divided into
several sections, which may be
filled with potatotoes and cured
separately from the other sec
tions. This makes it possible to
receive the potatoes and cure
them as they'are brought in over
a period of several days or even
weeks without subjecting any
one lot to a long period of heat.
The common method is to store
the potatoes'.infbushel crates and
separatelthe tiers of crates with
1 inch slatsfso as to provide air
circulation. The owners of the
etorage’house charge the growers
from 15 to 20 cents per bushel
for curing and storing the pota
toes. The bushel crates this sea
son are costing from 12 to 18
cents apiece and the grower is re
quiredlto pay’for these extra if
he takes them from the plant.
Charges on the potatoes are fixed
to include'the crates. The grow
er is nllowedfto take out any
number of bushels from time to
time as he finds sale for them.
However, it is necessary to re
grade and repack the potatoes in
the crates as they are taken from
storage to make a salable pack
even though no rot is present, as
the shrinkage must be provided
for. H. P. Stuckey,
Director.

Poultry Raising in Thomas.
Thomasville, Ga., Nov. 29. —
The many coops of splen
did chickens placed on ex
hibition by the Thomas
! County Poultry Association here
Saturday has led to the qnestion
as to why poultry raisining is not
more general throughout the
country.
It has been shown that as con
ditions are now one dozen eggs
sell for as much as a bushel of
corn and one good fat hen for
more than twice as much. It
costs much more to grow and cul
tivate the,‘corn than it does to
raise the chickens but it is hard
to realize that the chickens are
more remunerative.
Os course the chickens shown
here were of the finer varieties
but the common barnyard fowl
not only commands fine prices in
the markets but has been doing
it for some time and there seems
no prospects of the price going
down.
A Thomas county farmer a few
days ago brought in a wagon
load of corn, several chickens and
several dozen’,'eggs. The corn,
chickens and eggs were sold to
Burch and Son and the farmer
was surprised to find that he was
paid more money for his chickens
and eggs than for his corn. He
probably went home and decided
to raise more chickens and take
the corn for feed for'them.

Women Are Chosen
To Fill Brewton Offices.
Dublin, Ga., Nov. 26. —Old
line professional politicians who
have worried over the vision of'
women taking complete control
in politics had their worst fears
made real today at the town of
Brewton, ten miles from Dublin,
which elected a woman mayor
and five women aldermen over
the heads of two men candidates
for mayor and eight men runuing
for council.
Mrs. H. H. Beall was elected
mayor getting a majority of votes
over her two opponents, Dr. C.
G. Moye and W. H. Tyre. Mrs.
M. E. Brantley, Mrs. M. F. Beall,
Mrs. F. A. Brantley, Mr 9. C. G.
Moye. Mrs. S. B. Sutton were
elected to serve on the town coun
cil. A total of nine votes were
ca9t in the election all day, and
of these nme.’every woman re
ceived five.
The husband of the sucessful
candidate for mayor was beaten
in his race for councilman. Mrs.
M. E. Beall opposed her huband
for council and got five votes to
his one, Dr. C' G. Moye was
beaten for mayor and his wife
wife was elected to the council.
Another feature of the election is
that the nine voters who cast bal
lots were all men. Brewton has
a population of about 250 people.
For some time the town has been
noted for being so peaceful. No
policeman was needed, but it is
rumored that a woman policeman
will be elected by the mayor and
council and they will very probab
ly elect a woman as clerk of the
town.
