STORING SWEET POTATOES—
There Heenm to be nn itlon among for
mers who lire growing sweet potatoes
for storage Hint they should be loft
in t.ho ground until after tlic first frost.
This idea linn boon proven entirely wrong
by storage-house records nnd oilier ob
servations. It Is a fact. Hint sweet po
tntocs are vary subject to cold injury,
nnd arc often badly damaged by n sud
den cold spoil even before frost Iiiih
hilled the vlticH. Potatoes damaged in
this way, even though they may keep
in the storngediouse, are of very bad
quality when cooked. In case your po
tato vines should be frosted on beforo
you are ready to dig, cut the vines off
at tho ground immediately.
It appears In lie po or economy to pay
for the expensive advertising of our
Southern potatoes in the Northern mur
hots, and then try to back up tide adver
tising with potatoes that were injured
by cold in tho Held beforo digging
Fanners Hlionld dig their potatoes be
foro cold weather, and when the ground
is dry if possible.'
GRAIN SMUTS CAN BE PRE
VENTED BV SEED TREATMENT—
"The loose smut of on Is destroys
about ono-lonth of tho Georgia crop each
year, while stinking hiiiiiI nnd tho loose
smut together cut the whout .yield here
nboiit • 6ne-fourt.il,’’ unys it. It. Childs,
JybfosBor of Agronomy at the State
.'ladlego of Agriciiltnrn. The extension
,|ivision of the college says those dis
cuses limy lie eliminated by simple and
inexpensive methods of t.reiitlng tho see I
grains. Loose sniiit of mils may lie eon
trolled by either the "dry” or "wot"
formaldehyde method of Iroiitinont. The
dry method onn be applied in the foil ow
ing manner: Mix one pint of formal
dehyde with one pint of water, and pour
tlie mixture into a small hand spray.
Pile the seed grain tight (lour and
shovel il over, applying tile spray about
one stroke to each shovel full of grain,
milking sure that all of the grain ih
moistened by the spray. Then shovel
the grain into u pile nnd cover it tight
ly with a cmiiviin or blanket for five
hours. II should not roiiiiiin covered
longer. Then spread the seed out. to
nir thoroughly. It is now ready to plant,
or to put. into sacks thill, have lioeu trout-
t-d with the formaldehyde spray. Tlw
grain drill should also be sprayed mil
with the formaldehyde mixture. One
quart, of tho spray will treat from fifty
to sixty biisliols of oats.
In using the "wet" ii'iothod mix one
pint, of formaldehyde with forty gnllois
of water. Bp rend the seed outs on n
clean, tight floor and sprinkle thorough
ly with tho mixture, using u common
sprinkling pot. Shovel tho grain over
enough to make sure thnl ail of it. is
thoroughly dampened. Pile tho groin
mid cover it for about four hours, then
spread it in n thin luyov on tho floor
to dry, stirring ns much ns necessary.
When dry it is ready to drill, or store
in sacks which have been trnatod w.tli
the solution, The grain drills should
lie disinfected before the grain is phu t-
od.
TREATMENT OF SEED WHEAT—
Bunt, or stinking smut of wheat miiy
bo controlled by either of the methods
roenmmondnd above for treating seed
oats. The loose smut, of wheat is eon-
trolled only by the hot water troutimiqt.
The wheat should lie elonnnd in a fan
ning mill mid then put in saeks, fill
ing thorn 11 bout, mie-linlf full. Put tho
saeks in cold water and souk the wheat
for four hours. Rpuiovo it from tiie
cold water nnd immurse in hot water
tit I.Pi degrees Fnronholl temperature
for live minutes. Do not lot it rontaii
in the hot, water any longer. Re-nave
the grain from tho lint water mid spread
it out in a thiu layer to dry, stirring
iis much us necessary. Frequently two
hot water kettles are used, the tem
perature of one of them being about
125 degrees Fmciiheit. The snek of
grain are placed In this kettle to remove
the chill when they are taken out of the
void water. This makes it a eompiim-
tively simple matter to maintain a con
stant temperature of IPt degrees in tlu>
second kettle.
GROW YOUR OWN
-FARM SUPPLIES—
The farmers of Georgia are wrestling
Nvitli u great many problems, mused
both by the present financial condition
mid tlio changes necessitated by boll
weevil damage the past several years.
In trying to get a starting paint to
unravel the present, tangle, it is well
to reduce the risk ns much as possible,
It is hard to say what another veil
’•'ill living forth: therefore, it is not
si good time to carry any more risk than
'is absolutely necessary. At this time
of tiie year, in looking ahead to another
'season, two tilings present themselves
that should be given serious considera
tion.
During the wnr time it was found do
suable for the farmers all over tho
•State to raise their own wheat to sup
ply the farm and the family with bread
stuff. The main incentive for this no
tiea at tlmt time was the difficulty in
getting flour. The main Inventive at
this time for raising wheat will not
be because of any difficulty in'getting
flour another season, but the probable
difficulty of getting the money or ‘lie
•credit with which to tiny the flour. By
•raising their food supply, mid not hnv
ing to i»ul out cash or credit for it
the farmers will relieve either their
•rush account, or credit of that lnnrli
which can lie used for other tilings to
keep the fiirin work going. This may
not be n very large amount, but it
may be one of a uumber of small items
that, in the aggregate, will amount to
■a great deal of worry, and thus give
him more time nnd energy to devote
'to productive work.
Another of the problems in farm op
eration is having the farm well sup
plied with feedstuff during the busy
season. A combination of cereals and
vetch make nn excellent hay, and can
'be seeded to good advantage at this
tine. AVith hay of this kind it does
luot'MVc -great deal of grain to earry
the livestock through the work season
in good condition. Usually a bushel of
oats, a half bushel of wheat, mid from
ten to fifteen pounds of vetch seed will
give excellent results. Tho wheat should
bo a smooth wtieat and tall-growing,
like Leap’s Prolific," A tall-grow
ing oats should iiIho lie used. For most
of tho States, Texas Rust-Proof or Ap
pier Is desirable. In the northern part,
or in t.ho higher altitudes, it turf oat
can bo used. If the vetch lias not licen
grown before, it. should 1m inoculated.
It would lie better to use tiot.1i dirt
from a Hold wtie.ro vetch tins been grown,
or from a garden wlicro the common
English pea lias boon grown.
Make the farm self-supporting as far
ns practicable is certainly u larger prob
lem now than it lias ever been beforo
in this State, and is probably one phase
of the present problem that will de
termine whether nr not the farmer will
lie able to continue in business.
B, M. Drake, County Agent.
COLD WEATHER WILL KILL THE
BOLL WEEVIL.
Atlanta, Oct. (1.—Georgia next year
will produce a good eotton crop, and so
will oilier States which lmvc boon more
or less devastated this year, in the opin
ion of Ira Williams, boll weevil expert
of the Department of Entomology.
" Lnst winter wns so mild," said Mr.
Williams today, "that the boll weevil
survived the season in greater numbers
than ever before. The weather was mild
even in Northwest Georgia, whore severe
wantlier had heretofore held the boll
weevil in chock, enabling the farmers to
make good cotton crops. We have had
two iimiHimlly mild winters in succession.
Weather records show that three warm
winters rarely ever come la succession.
Gold weather this winter will make
big difference in the crop of boll weevils
hatched out next spring.
"in ordor to survive the cold weather
it 1b absolutely necessary for the weevil
In have two things—warnit.li and pro
tection from the rain. If the growers
u? cotton would make a systematic and
scientific use of this proven fact, they
could change the situation very materi
ally. We are going to make this year
at the expei'iinenl stations a bale of cot
ton to the acre in spite of the bull wee
vil. We are oven going to make a. bale
of Sea Island eoMos to the acre, which
would have boon considered impossible,
iis most of the Ben Island growers have
abandoned the Im'I.istr.v.
‘ ‘ Old rotten stumps and rotten logs
are Ideal winter quarters for the boll
weevil. They get, under the bark where
they cnii find a dry, warm place, and
there they stay through the winter. A
cotton Hold littered with rotten stumps
mid fringed with rotten logs invariably
is worse hit by the weovil than a field af
fording none of those harboring places.
"Tho boll wcoVll cannot hibornttte in
trees, in buds of leaves and in dead
grass. He can and does try these places
when he cannot Hud rotten stumps nnd
rotten logs to take shelter under tho
lmrk, but he rarely survives the winter
if dead grass, Ioiivob and troos are his
only protection,
"There are many farms in Sumter,
Dougherty, and enmities ill that, part of
Southwest Georgia whore n normal crop
is being mude tills year because scientific
mid thorough precautions were taken to
destroy the hibernating quarters of the
boll weevil.
"Next year, I boiiovo, the farmers will
use a good deal nioro fertiliser than they
used tliis your. They used the smallest
amount, in years, this year. Profiting
by tliis year’s experience, they ought to
go out. ttiis full mid destroy every place
whore a boll weevil onn keep dry mid
warm.''
Macon, Gn„ Oct. 10.- Farmers of Bibb
'Minty are heeding the advice, of experts
who are staging the light against, the
boll weevil all over Georgia liy destroy
ing cotton stalks just as soon as all
otton lias been picked. Most cotton
farmcis in this comity received only a
twenty per. cent, yield and some of them
less than this figure. They have iilrendy
losti'oyod large fields of stalks upon
which the weevil thrives when lie lias
no squares to puncture. Many have
turned cattle and other live stock in
otton fields nnd they have cleaned up
nil the foliage mid part of the stalk.
The farm demonstrators over the State
are now urging farmers to destroy the
cotton stalk li,v cuttisg them down and
burning them. Hodges, fields and woods
should lie burned to destroy hibernat
ing places of the weevil. Last fall the
fai'iiiers of Southwest Georgia destroyed
eotton stalks as soon as nil the cotton
had been gathered and a fin per cent,
crop was gathered tliis year. They say
lest met ion of stalks was largely respon
sible for this yield. The county agent
in Bibb, aided by n number of fanners,
is waging a campaign bore to have all
stalks of this year's crop completely de
stroyed during the next thirty days.
A CASH CROP.
The dairy ouw, with her wonderful
wealth-producing ability, stands out con
spicuously aiming all farm animals in
the readjustment following in the deso
late path of the boll weevil. The ad
vantage site holds is due primarily to
her wonderful digestive system anil her
economy in converting course forage,
grain and by-products into it most nour
ishing mill palatable human food.
Carefully conducted experiments have
taught its" that for eaeli 100 pounds of
digestible mutter consumed, the cow on
an average will yield about Lilt pounds
of milk containing IK pounds of solids,
practically ail of which is digestible.
The pig is nliln to produce 1i36 pounds
of edible solids for eaeli 100 pounds of
digestible dry matter consumed, Chick
ens produce 5,1 pounds of edible solids in
the form of eggs from the same amount
of feed. Tin; himli yields .'1,2 pounds,
and the steer only 2.K pounds of digesti
ble solids.
The Btate Agricultural College,
through its extension service, is urging
the small farmer to start keeping a few
cows nnd marketing the products in n
systematic way, so ns to lake a minimum
of their time and still give them the
maximum not cash return. The farmer
with three to seven cows should not con
sider himself a dairyman, but rather lie
should consider the small holding ol’
cows a part of his general farm work.
Their principal functions will lie to pro
vide a profitable home market for cheap
home-grown feeds, leave the fertility on
the 'farm, and produce enough ready
cash to pay ordinary running expenses.
Such a development will require a very
small outlay of additional capital. On
most farms there nre a few cows to which
no particular attention is being paid,
and no systematic effort made to convert
their products into cash. It may tie
necessary to buy a few cows in local
territory, but nt, this time these, can lie
lmd lit very Binall cost. They should bo
regularly and nbmidaiitly foil on cheap
home-grown feeds. The one biggest is
vestment will be for a hand separator.
This is most essential, if the farmer ex
pects to get the greatest profit out of
ids cows.
It will also lie necessary fort him to
purchase a few cans for shipping the
ream:
A convenient but inexpensive sli liter
lionlrt lie arranged for the cows.

HIGH FREIGHT RATES RUINING
THE FARMER.
High freight rates have stopped farm
production, according to U. B. Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace, and if the pros-
nl. situation continues production from
the farms will lie reduced materially.
' "Wo cannot afford to lot our ugri-
liltnro be destroyed," he declared. "In
attempting to relieve tire distress of tins
farmers we are dealing with groat eco
nomic forces. All our peoplo ought to
share tho burdens of the present depres
sion. ’'
flie fanner is now lieni'ing more than
his share of tho economic load, Secretary
AVnllnee said, because .tho purchasing
power of farm products is below tho
averngo of other commodities.
Reductions in freight rates on farm
products, tiie Secretary said, would bo
reflected in a larger volume of traffic^
nnd therefore in greator revenue for the’
Tuii'onds.
It wns pointed out that many young
farmers purchasing land during times
of abnormal prices were foreclosed when
tho depression came, causing a situation
Inch should be a matter of public con
cern, beenuso of reduced production.
In reply to questions of attorneys for
the railroads Secretary Wallace said
that wheat-from Argentina could be laid
down at Atlantic ports at less than tiie
pre.e American-raised wheat will bring
under present conditions.
Selma made a crushing onslaught on
Old Business Depression Tuesday when
she swapped 5,000 bales of eotton for
$500,000, adding the proceeds to her
hank account, to lie used in liquidating
old debts and in swelling till! volume of
trade. A few more fonts in converting
the products of our soil into the circu
lating media will serve to swing this
whole section hack to tiie good times of
two years ago, but of course on a lesSev
scale.—Selma (Ala.) Times.
Since tiie boll weevil lias made it neces
sary for the funnels to turn their atten
tion to ether crops, the question arises
How can we sell our produce for the
money.' Cotton lias been nil along the
money crop of this section, and when
farmers change to other crops they are
facing a serious situation unless they
can find n market for t-lient. it lias been
suggested hy a good business man, one
who lias the interest of the fanners of this
section nt heart, that nothing would he
of more value at tliis time than a co
operative market, where stock could be
sold nt any time of the year, and where
grading pens were available, so that
cattle mid hogs could be handled and
sold for their worth. We. mention tlii
matter that others may think it over and
if possible, devise some way of handling
the situation.— Telfair Enterprise.
"Ih there any real advantage in be
iug a millionairef ” asked tiie philoso
pher.
" There is," answered Mr. Dustin
Stax. "You can wear your old clothes
without exciting comment, which is
great economy."
Rheumatism
Relief--25c.
Nature's Romody (NR Tablets), Ars
Helping Thousands Who Tried Ex
pensive Things Without Rosult.
It’s Guaranteed.
There nre three vital processes of
human existence—the digestion of
food, the extraction of nourishment
from it and the elimination of waste.
Poor digestion .and assimilation
means failure to derive full nourish
ment from food nnd that in turn often
means impoverished blood, weakness,
anemia, etc. Poor elimination means
an accumulation of waste matter
which poisons tho body, lowers vitality,
decreases the power of resistance to
disense nnd leads to tho development
of many serious ills.
Rheumatism—due to some inter
ference with the process of elimina
tion, failure to get rid of certain body
poisons—cannot bo expected to yield
to any medicine that fails to correct
the condition responsible for it. Could
any reasonable person expect to rid
himself of rheumatic pain as long as
rheumatic poison is allowed to remain
in the body?
Think of this. It explains the suc
cess of Nature's Remedy (NR Tablets)
4n so many cases where other
medicines have failed. Thousands are
using NR Tablets every day and get
ting relief. Why pay five or ten
times as much for uncertain things?
A 2uc box of Nature's Remedy (NR
Tablets), containing enough to last
twenty-five days—must help you,
must give you prompt 1‘elief and sat
isfactory benefit or cost you nothing.
Nature’s Remedy is not only for
the relief of rheumatism. It im

ulates kidney and bowel action, im
proves the blood and cleanses tiie
