Office, Chamber of Commerce, 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. B. M. Drake, County Agent. U ■ ■ ■ ■■ i WHITE OAK COUNCIL MEETING— Tho woman’s division Of the White Oak.

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 ami without outride help often become SHARPSBURG.
