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. 1> 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.

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.
