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.

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. Tax Collector’s Second Round.

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. Cotton Money.
