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

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!”

PROPER STORE HOUSE
FOR IRISH POTATOES
The problem of keeping Irish pota¬
toes through the winter without In¬
jury from getting too cold or too hot
and the still greater problem of keep¬
ing them through the summer with¬
out injury from severe sprouting or
shrivelling Is practically solved when
a store house in which an even tem¬
perature may be maintained is pro¬
cured. 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.
