Markets are flooded so heavily that it does not pay to ship. Result; many farmers are wondering what to do with their potatoes. The curing house at Lyons will buy the No. 1 po-! tatoes while the Vidalia house will cure them for the farmer If enough will list their potatoes with Mr. W. T. McArthur. Jr., at once to insure his running the house. The old method of pitching potatoes about any way at digging tiino Is costly to the farmer in cut bruised and’: and to the curing ; house in rotten potatoes later on dur ing the year. The potato is a crop that requires careful handling if you oxpect to save them properly either In the hill or curing house. The following taken from an article by Mr. M. C. (lay of the State Agricul tural College and written for the 1 Southern Rurallst Is written by a man ninny of you have met here at the sales and at sweet potato meetings. As a crop Is plowed up the hands should follow Immediately after the j plows picking tip the potatoes and putting the No, 1 potatoes in crates or, boxes which will he hauled to the cur-, Ing house.

Politicians have nil left the city, following the meeting of the new Democratic exocutice com mittee here Snturi.ny, some of them remaining over Sunday and plans are going forward for the meeting of the State Democratic Convention next Saturday at Macon. ” j So far as known, the coming con-' volition will he a very tame affair and the speei h making will be limited. Hon Clifford M. Walker, newly elect ed governor, i.ellvered his acceptance speech at the gathering of tile Walker delegates on October 4th. hence he now takes the role of a spectator and listener as the official results of the gubernatorial and senatorial primar ies are declared. The governor elelt has not prepares a second speech, he told his friend^. Judge Walter P George, of Vienna, who was nominated in the senatorial priniarj since the gathering of the Walker delegates at Macon, will be the chief speaker at the convention Saturday, lie will deliver his speech. of acceptance, bringing out the prtn- j clples of the platform on which he was elected and "ill conduct the du ties of his office. The senior senator | from Georgia, Hon Win. J Harris, will attend the convention and occupy a seat on the stage with his Junior col league. Senior Senator Making Speeches Senator Harris is now a familiar figure hotel lobbies In Atlanta, having come to Georgia upon the ad journment of congress and will re main until the rational lawmaking body reassembles early in December. Since his arrival, the senior senator has been literally besieged with invit ations to make speeches and if he ac cepts all of the invitations he will be heard in many sections of the State during the next few weeks. Unc.V>ubt- j edly. Senator Harris is popular and his popularity has been growing ever can probably be most forcefully' stressed by reciting results of tests made* with Injured and’ uninjured po-j tatoca In storage. For two years the U. S. Dept, of Agr. carried on tests with three varlties of sweet potatoes, ' Hig Stem Jersey, Nancy Hall, ' and | Southern Queen. The average shrink age of uninjured potatoes after 1641 days in storage was 13.83 per cent, the; average decay 75 per cent. The! i shrinkage of the injured' potatoes for | the same time was 28.13 per cent, the decay 13.79 per cent. Surely no stronger argument is needed in favor of proper handling. The sweet po tato storage house is not a hospital; j I it is intended to keep hut not to heal the product. Treating Seed Oats and Wheat Smut takes a toll of one tenth of our | oat crop in Georgia and from 15 to 25 j per cent of our wheat crop each year. These heavy tollp are preventable at ] 1 a very low eost by treating our peed wheat or oats before planting. In all) eases where the seed are treated, throughly about: one fourth seed should he sown to the acre as the treatment will kill most of the seed that have a weak germinating ability. Since the formalt.'ehyde treatment Is I usually the cheapest and safest 1 will ] 'give It. Be sure In buying Formal de-' hyde solution at the drug stores to get; the 40 per cent solution. Use 1 pint of Formaldehyde to 40 j gallons of water. This is about! cough to treat 40 bushels of grain. First clean'the seed thoroughly then, spread 1 in a thin layer (2 to 3 Inches deep) on a tight clean floor. Spray | : or sprinkle the solution evenly over I the grain. Use about one gallon of j | the solution to a bushel of the grain When the required amount is applied j shovel the grain into a pile and cover with a tight blanket for two hours for WHEAT AND RYE; three hours for i OATS AND BARLEY. Then the grain is spread out to dry until dry enough to use In the drill. Outs As Soon As Possible Oats In this section usually yield 1 more when sown early than If sown i late. They should be sown here from the 10th of Oct. to the Ist of Nov. to secure the best yields. Later plant ing has pielded much less In tests cov ering several years. since lie has been in office. Unpre judiced politicians declare that the political strength of the Senior sena ; tor is well nigh Impregnable, as he j has "stayed on the job”, and in other j ways met the wishes of his constitu- I ents to such an extent, that possible , opposition in 1924 to get anywhere i must be a towering personality that l has not yet appeared 1 on the political horizon. The senior senator, *as stated in news dispatches, was given an ovation at the democratic executive committee meeting here Saturday. The ovation followed the passage of a resolution ! indorsing Senator Harris. The reso lution reads: "Resolved, that the Georgia Demo cratic executive committee most heart ily im.prses the services of senior United States Senator William J. Har ris; that we express confidence in him as a man and as a public offici al.” Permanent Rules fdmuiittee Considerable interest attaches to the personnel of the special commit- ; tee which will promulgate new rules for the government of Democratic af fairs during 1923 and A924. The com mittee is as follows: William Butt. Blue Ridge, chairman; Kerin or Barrett. Toccoa; Is. F. Walker! Gibson; Mrs. Bettie R Cobb. Carroll ton. and H. H Klders, Reidsville.

Plans were discussed for making the interior of the Scout House more attractive and the girls are to make a real girl scout club room of the dining room. Each patrol will have a part in this. Camp, thought some time off, is al ways interesting to scouts. Discussion of plans tor beginning a gener 1 fund' for camping, which is to be in the form of a contest between the patrols.' They will use individual ideas for the raising of money. Which patrol will have most by next summer? This was followed by a very inter esting program on the Three-fold de velopment of the scout.

The Vidalia boys now make a good appearance in their new uniforms, and they are very proud of them. A.
