MARKETING SWEET
POTATOES—
That Georgln-grown sweet potatoes,
properl}' cured and shipped, will find n
ready market in the Middle West, is the
opinion of H. W. Bingham, county
agent of Washington county.. Mr. Biug-
hnm was in the offices of the Georgia
Farm Bureau on routo to Washington
county, after n vacation of 17 days, which
be spent touring through Illinois, Ohio
niul Jndtnmi. During that time Mr.
Bingham says lie conducted nn inquiry
as to how (icorgiu sweet, potatoes wore
liked in those States. Be says that
whorever lie went lie found that every
body Boomed to like t.lic sweet potatoes
when they eould got them properly cured.
“I went into 207 restaurants in tho
throe States I visited,” 'snid Mr. Bing
ham, '‘mid found that with the excep
tion of about twenty, nono of thorn lisod
more tlmii a IiubIioI of sweet potatoes
a Wook. But it wasn’t buenuso these
restaurant owners didn’t want to servo
them, or because their petrous would
not oat them. It was bocauBU they could
not got thorn throughout the year. They
all said sweet potatoes were ‘good
stuff,.’ when I asked them how they liked
thorn,' and that they wanted more, pro
vided they roacheil them in good condi
tion. They don’t want rotten or frost
bittOn potatoes, but they want good
ones. ’ ’
Mr. Bingham said Ho found tlmt. an
other reason why sweot potatoes were
not -popular wns mainly because people
throughout tho Middle West did not
know about them,' how to prepare them,
or of thoir food value, “Wo should
advertise onr Georgia sweet potatoes,”
lie continued. ‘‘Advertising will mar
ket Georgia Hweot potatoes, and once
they get marketed properly tlioro will
always bo a bigger demnnd for thorn
ttinn tho State enn supply.”
Mr. Bingham said that in Washington
county the Comity Farm Bureau had
signed up a total of 31,000 bushels of
sweot potatoes, which would be inurkotod
through tho sweot potato division of the
Georgia Farm Bureau marketing ex
change. This epunty exchange, accord
ing to State Farm Bureau officials, is
tho first completed unit in tho sweot po
tato organization, hut that many more
lire being formed ami will affiliate with
(lie exchange.
‘‘la our county, ” Air. Bingham con-
tinned, ‘‘wo have agreed to spend three
cents per ln(sliel on advertising, and
about tho first, or middle of September
we will send two Women demonstrators
to tho Middle West to ndvortise Georgia
swoel potatoes. We want, to toll the
world of tho vniue of sweet, potatoes.”
Mr. Bingham said tho only certain
way to cure potatoes so they might lie
stored and kept in good condition in
definitely was by tho kiln-drying meth
od. Vic said that a recent big shipment
of Min-dried sweot potatoes were sent
from Georgia to London, England, ar
riving there in perfect condition, lie
said in Washington county the Farm
Bureau had two,sweet potato curing and
storing houses, mid had leased two liioro,
so that every sweet potato raised, could
lie properly cured mid stored.
“Sweet potatoes offer n big opportu
nity to tlie farmers-of Georgia,” Mr.
Bingham said, “and in Washington
count}’ wo me beginning to realize it,
and are going ahead with plans for cash
ing in qn them.”
CRIMSON CLOVER—
Now is the time to lie considering
crops to lie grown on the land during
tiny Winter. One of tiie most promising
for Georgia is crimson clover. On me
dium to good lands if can lie raised suc
cessfully if cave is used in sowing and
inoculating the crop, hut if these tilings
are done carelessly tho chances for suc
cess are slim.
The time fur sowing clover is lute
September, according to the best grow
ers in the State. The sued to use is the
imhulod kind; tho amount, 40 llis. per
acre; the time of seeding, into Septem
ber; anil place for sowing, on firm land
—preferably pen stubble. No rolling,
harrowing, plowing or waiting for rain
is necessary.
If tlie land lias never grown red,
white or crimson clover before, inocula
tion is ns important as proper seeding.
Soil from a Held tlmt. tins successfully
grown one of those clovers is the boat
inoculating material, it should ho ap
plied at the rate of one two-liji'so wagon
load per acre. The best tinw for put-
ing it on is in Into November, when the*
winter ruins linvo started. Scattering
over tho land broadcast just before n
nun is uu ideal time. A light applies
tiou of manure at this time, mixed with
u sack of acid phosphate, will insure u
bettor growth of clover.
Seed cau he saved by cutting the do
ver with n mowing machine just before
tho seed begin to shatter and bringing
to the barn while the dew is still on the
plants. The liny when dry is shaken
over a tall box, with chicken wire for
a top, and the seed drop into the box.
Enough seed can lie saved from nn acre
to sow at least teu acres the following
fall.
After the crimson clover is mature
a crop of corn or peas cun be made.
The clover makes the corn dark and
rich looking, us if nitrate of soda lmd
been applied. Seed of the crimson clo
ver can lie bought in the Hull for 7 Hi
cents per pound.

tainers, such ns 4-ouiico jars or jelly
glnsses, and'cover with parnfin, If tho
product is packed in jars, these enn lie
processed for 15 minutes in order to
sterilize tho contents. Since the conserves
nro 1 a mixture of several products tho
particular variety of grape used is of
less importnneo tliun in other products.
However, those varieties having rela
tively thick skins which soften readily
nro beBt for this purpose. Delicious
conserves have been made from Mie
Hciippornong, Thomas and James vari
eties.
Grape Butter.—To mnko this product

seal tho itiartnalado hot in sterilized jars.
Grape Mincemeat.—To liinke mince
meat pulp tho grapes, placing the pulp
in one porcelain vessel and the IuiIIb in
another. Cover the hulls with water,
boll, violently until tender, nnd then
run through a ment grinder, using tho

Therefore, every woman, no matter
how well she may seem to herself, should
consult a physician when she. knows that
she is pregnant or when she Suspects it,
and should follow the direction#-given
her. Often these directions will not
mnko it necessary fpr her to change her
regular habits of life much. Possibly
she will ho told to give up a portion of
each tinv to rest; maybe, too, shh will
lie asked to report regularly at intervals
varying in length from two weeks to two
months, so tlmt the doctor may bo aide
to make certain examinations and to de
termine just what special treatment may
he needed.
The Stnte Boards of Health of many
States, and of North Carolina cortainly,
ask for the mimes of all wonten who are
expectant mothers. .Special literature Ih
sent to such Women free from time to
time, and they are taught many necos-
sttry things about their own health and
how to protect it.
Such precautions protect the life of
the tinhorn child, and no mother • who
knows the need of careful attention for
herself in order to help her child will
permit anything to iuterfore with her
taking such precautions.

It is hard to think of child-hearing as
”dangerous” process, nnd one which
often moans the sacrifice of the mother ’a
life; blit so it is, for within a single
year tho licfilth records show that
3S,000 women lest their lives from causes
directly or indirectly related to -'child
birth,
Atodicnl science 1ms been carefully at
tacking the problems of other diseases,
with tho result tlmt within tho past
twenty years dentils, from typhoid fever
have been reduced one-half, and deaths
from tuberculosis have also been greatly
decreased, while maternal deaths keep
steadily on, with hut little change in
numbers.
Anterien, with nil its commercial nnd
industrial progress, has done couipnV
ntlyely little along this line, and statis
tics show tlmt our country stands fif
teenth in tho list of nations in its ma
ternal doattis. In fact, only Spain and
Switzerland have moro deaths than
America from this cause, and at last
America is waking up to the need for
reform along this line.
A hill for tlie protection pf maternity
nnd infancy is now before Congress, and
if passed it will mean tlmt provision
will lid made for giving to expectant
mothers tlie care they should have in
order to preserve their own lives, nnd
to insure for their babies a measure of
protection. Tills bill 1ms met witli much
opposition. Tho fimincinl figures have
been cut, nnd it is being delayed from
time to time, while other measures pro
viding money te fight diseases in cattle
are being indorsed ami protected.
Every woman in America will feel that
no greater work could be undertaken
than tlmt involved in protecting the lives
of mothers in goneral; but nt tho same
time it must be remembered that every
woman can do her own' part in protect
ing her own and her neighbor’s life
when there hi a prospect of chlld-boar-
ing, and the first thing to be done under
these circumstanees is to understand the
dangers which surround such a condition.
First of ail, women during the child
bearing period must realize that a change
is taking place in their entire systems;
functions which usually work perfectly
