On Aug.. 17 , 228 Signal Corps, Aviation Section men at Ft. Ogle¬ thorpe, including Bill Wright, Homer Smith and myself from Gilmer, were busy all day get¬ ting ready to leave on the follow¬ ing day for San Antonio, Texas. We left the fort at 9:50 a m. and went to Chattanooga After stopping there for a few minutes we went directly to Fort Payne, Ala., arriving at 12:45 p. m- din¬ ner was served as we left there All our meals were prepared on the train by our own men and served at our seats. At 3:00 we reached Birming¬ ham, during the 20 minutes that we were there a number of the boys were met by homefolks and friends, We stopped next at the Tomb river to take on water The banks of the river are very deep and beautiful, being white lime stone. We were soon attracted from their beauty, however, by some small boys who were pitch¬ ing pears to us through the train windo a s. Other towns at which we stopped in Alabama are :Epes, Livingston, York and Cuba. At 7:10 we crossed the state line into Mississippi, our first stop in that state was Meridian, it was the prettiest and largest city we saw after leaving Birm¬ ingham, a negro chap when asked the population answered “I dont know, boss, but we she is got lots ov’em.” another said it was 38000 . Soon after leaving theie we all tumbled into bed. During the night vv e passed through —New Orleans. Just before we ar rived there I could see water for several miles along the trestle. It was too dark to see where came from but I suppose it from the Mississippi river. was also too dark to see much New Orleans. Between New Orleans and Baton Rouge w passed 'through the finest farm¬ ing section that any of us ever seen, broad fields were ered with large crops of cane, ri -__ „„„„ 1 J > ’ potatoes and truck farm We reached the capitot at a.m. where we stopped lor hour, taking exercise off train for 30 minutes. We then ferried across the TIMES-COURIER “We Push For Prosperity—Give Us a Puir VOLUME 2 . pi river and were soon rolling toward Texas. In some of the little towns at which we stopped the people were working same as if it had not been Sunday. The first city of importance that we come to in Texas was Beaumont. It was in 1895 I think that oil was found there and the then village of about 50 people became a city in a day as it were. Beau¬ mont is now the largest oil cen¬ ter in Texas, After leaving there we passed thru wild praries cov¬ ered with horses and cattle as far as the human eye could see. The most cheerful city w e passed was Houston. While our train was there street car bells rang, autos honked and men, women and children cheered and yelled. A crowd of pretty girls came along the side of our cars and shook hands with us, Bill even kissed-xme of them, but she was just about 8 years old. After leaving there we all went to bed again, happy and cheerful as sol¬ dier boys ever were. Early in the morning we were awakened with ‘‘all out for San Antonio!” HAS RECOVERED HER HEALTH So many women suffer from similar afflictions that this testi¬ monial from Mrs- Laura Beall.

Fall grown potatoes make ex¬ cellent seed for the following spring and fall crops, when carried through the winter in good condition, and in order to prevent all waste of an ex¬ cellent food crop more attention should be paid to storing than ever before, urges the Horticultural De¬ partment of the State College of Agriculture. Specifications for special buildings may be secured from this department and advice as to changing buildings already on the farm. To keep In the best condition Irish potatoes should be kept at an even temperature. They will have to pass through a heat or sweat at first so thsy should not he stored In very large piles. A special storage house la 1 better of oourse, and mere convenient, 1 but any barn or out building, with, tight walls oan bs oonvertad Into ■ storage place. The walls should be' sufficiently tight to prevent cold winds from blowing in and to keep out cold to some extent. The floor should be very tight, If not It should be covered with an Inch or two of dry dirt and the potatoes plied on this. They may be stored In a base, ment but should be put In barrels or boxes or placed in slatted shelve*. There Is usually danger of a base¬ ment getting too warm and, If this Is the case, It should be avoided. They should be kept at a temperature of IS to 46 degrees during the win¬ ter. If the weathe» with Is very cold they may be oovered straw or sacks and a little dry dirt They should not be unoevered during a warm- spell. If Irish potatoes are to he kept through the summer for fall planting, they should be removed from their winter quarters In the spring when they show signs of sprouting, and be placed in a light airy place. An empty loft Is an ideal place if it has plenty of light. They should be spread out thinly and should not be allowed to come in contact with soil. They may be placed outside In db reot sunlight for a few weeks before planting. When kept in the above manner they will form short, green, tough sprouts, which do not injure the vitality of the potato. If left In a dark, moist place, long white sprouts will be formed which are In. jurlous to the potato and will have to be removed at planting time. A storage house 20x40 feet will hold 8,000 bushels of potatoes easily. The cost of such a house will vary from $260 to $500, according to the king of material used. PEANUTS BRING HIGH PRICE WHEN STACKED Vines Ripen Normally And Give • Bright, Nutrltloue Hay Equal To Cowpea Vlnee Instead of small, wrinkled nuts and poor quality hay, as results from sun cured peanuts, stacked peanuts ripen normally and develop heavy nuts of excellent quality along with a bright, nutritious hay equal to cowpea hay for feeding purposes, says Mr. Tabor of the State College of Agriculture. To stack peanuts select a stout pel* eight to ten feet high, set firmly in the ground and nail two cross piecei aboijt a foot above the ground. Thr peanut vines should be gathered be fore they dry out and piled about th> pole. The first vines are placed 01 the cross pieces with the nuts towa the pole and the stack should be vine thick as measured from the The stacks are made as high a? can conveniently reach and the capped with grass to keep the b from the nuts at the top of tho st¬ rive to six weeks Is generally enough to allow for curing, though peanuts will keep longer in the stac It other farm work is pressing. Wbe. the peanuts-are to be hauled to t'.> picker, the poles are loosened and thf stacks loaded without tearing them up In unloading grasp the poles below th< cross pieces, and shake the entir* stack on the picker or thresher. The acreage of peanuts in Geor<r has increased according to crop e mates, 220 per cent this year. M-i: in southwest Georgia crushing cott seed have arranged to take care of the peanuts offered and it is th r that a considerable amount wil crushed.
