Sweet Potatoes
Digging time for sweet potatoes is
here. 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. They should not lie piled
up as often Is done nor should they ■
be put in baskets to be pored out into j
the wagon. The only way is to put
them tn the crates and' haul them di- :
root to the house. The culls may be j
kept at home for feeding and they are
an excellent feed for the hogs.

ATLANTA, (In.. 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

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.”

The regular monthly meeting of
the Gill Scouts was held Saturday
night. Miss Fullilove had the meet
ing in charge. After a half-hour of
gmes and fun on the lawn, we had
a good meeting indoors. After open

a short business meeting. 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

They will use individual ideas for the
raising of money. Which patrol will
have most by next summer?

Baaket Ball Game.
Wednesday of last week the boys of
the basket ball team went down to
Lyons and played their school team.
The game" was a good one, with good
playing on both sides. For a while
it looked as if the teams were very
evenly matched, but in the last half
onr boys began to roll up a few goals
and hold the Lyons boys to the score
made in the first half.
The Vidalia boys now make a good
appearance in their new uniforms,
and they are very proud of them.
