POTATO HOUSE NOTES—
The provision of curing-houses . is the
first step toward making sweet potatoes
a staple, mnketnVdo crop, and it is there
fore gratifying to note the considerable
increase in potato storage capacity in
our county. I,nst year the total storngo
' capacity of curing-houses in Coweta was
about 7,000 bushels. This fall it will
be in the neigborhood of 35,000 bushels,
an increase of 40 per cent. The storage
houses operating at present in the coun
ty arc ns follows—
L. L. Hutchinson, Senoin, 5,000
bushels.
E. Coats, Senoin, 5,000 bushels.
B. M. Drake, Turin, 2,000 bushels.
Walthall & Co., White Oak, 1,000
h ushcls.
J. T. Bexley, Bcxton, 700 bushols.
15, M„ Camp, Moreland, 12,000 bushels.
C. 8. Colley, Crnntville, 500 bushels.
Farm Bureau Potato House, Ncwnnn,
5,000 bushels.
V. E. Mangct, Dresden, 1,000 bushels.
W. F. Thigpen, Welcome, 800 bushels.
,r. P. Jones & Sons, Riverside, 700
bushels.
T. M. Hyde, R. F. D. 5, Ncwnnn, 500
bushels.
C. R. & John B. Sewell, Roscoo, 700
Jmshels.
M. N. Mingo, Pnlmetto, 500 bushels.
■On account of lute start, short crop,
scarcity of crates and other reasons
tlieso houses will not bo filled to capaci
ty this year, but it is thought that at
least enough potatoes will be stored to
moot the wants of the county, relieve
the glut usually found at digging time,
and prevent the consequent slump in
prices. It seems probable that at least
20,000 bushels will be stored, at a sav-
5ng of $10,000 to the county. The con-
*fldonco inspired by tliOBO Iiohsch ought
to increase the acreage and lend to the
building of othor houses next year.
Tho Farm Burenn potato house at
"Nownan will be open to rceclvo potatoes
•until digging fit completed, and will re
ceive potatoes properly packed and
crated from any who desire to Btorc
them. Of course, they do not want po
tatoes that have been frost-bitten or
otherwise damaged. The storage foe is
25c. per crate for tho season, payable
when tho potatoes aro taken out.
DIG DEEPER FOR PROFITS—
By deepening all the places whore
the plant roots feed it’ Is possible to
increase the yields considerably. One
more inch of soil will often increase tho
•yields 15 to 20 por cent. It would cost
u tremendous sum of money to haul this
amount, of soil from another place and
spread it over the land, Imt fortunately
this is not necessary. There is an
abundance of it below, and it can bo
lind by deep plowing. The fall is the
best time to increase the ilopth of (lie
soil, because the. now soil from below
needs to be exposed to the weather for
•several months before it is ready for
crops. Turned up in tl\e fall and left
for the frosts to tear apart and the sun
shine and rain to soften, the now soil
is made ready for tho spring planting.
The only precautions needed nre not
to plow the land too wet, nor to bring
up more than an inch of subsoil nt one
time. If these precautions are followed
better yields will ‘bo secured.
Oats planted b.v the middle of No
vember will get much more growth in
the early- spring, when there is more
moisture tlinn necessary. Tills taking
advantage of the .moisture when it is
present will in most cases mean larger
yields of grain. Lack of water ill the
spring is often the thing that limits
the yield of grain. To take advantage
of natural conditions and use every inch
of rainfall possible, it is wise to get the
crop of oats in early. Many people nre
in the habit of waiting till Christmas,
or after, to seed their oats, thinking
that larger yields result from such prac
tice. Experimental results do not bear
this out. Both Fulghum and Appier
oats sown early have given greater
yields than the same kind of oats sown
nt a Inter time. B. M. Drake,
County Agent.
SCHOOL FAIRS—
The school fairs held in the various
communities proved very successful, and
I have been well pleased with the in
terest the people of the comunitics have
taken; In each of the schools residents
of tho community seemed eager to make
the fair a success. The exhibits were a
decided credit to the community in each
school. In each school a part of the
time was given to speeches and songs
by the school children, and talks by those
interested in better schools. I think
fairs have been an inducement to got
mothers and fathers to visit schools and
see what their children nre doing. I be
lieve, too, it will in each enso make the
club work stronger as the parents see
what the children can do. I hope to an
nounce the standing of tho schools next
week.
FEEDING HENS FOR
EGG PRODUCTION—
The following are good grain mixtures
for the laying stock, the proportions be
ing b.v weight:
Ration 1—Equal parts of cracked
corn, wheat, oats.
Ration 2—Three parts cracked corn,
2 parts oats, I part wheat.
Ration 3—Two parts cracked corn, 1
part oats.
A choice of any of these rations should
be senttcrod in tho litter twice daily,
morning and evening.
Either of the following suggested dry-
mash mixtures should be fell in a dry-
mash hopper, allowing the fowls to have
access to it at all times:
Mash No. 1—Two parts corn meal, 1
part bran, 1 part middlings, 1 pnrt beef
scraps.
Mnsh No. 2—Three parts corn, meal,
1 pifl t. beef scrap.
Wien fowls do not have access to nat
ural green feed, sprouted oats, cabbage,
mangels, cut clover, etc., should be fed,
When wot mashes nre fed, be sure tlmt
they are crumbly and not sticky. Plen
ty of exercise increases the egg yield.
Fresh, clean drinking water should al
ways bo provided. Charcoal, grit., and
oyster shell should be placed before the
fowlB so that they can have necess to
them at all tunes.

County Home Demonstration Agent.

Fences to Fit
Your Farm Conditions
The farmer who is planning for the fu
ture knows that the all-cotton system is past in
this section:—that other crops and other' meth
ods must be used to insure profitable farm op
eration. .
Good fences must be built if the farmer
is to make other crops pay. Choosing the fence
is not only a matter of cost, but the use planned
for the fence has lots to do with the kind needed.
In building fences, much of which is permanent,
judgment should be used, and the cost should
be proportioned so that the investment will not
overwhelm the possible return.
There are so many ways of building fences,
and so many kinds of material, that it often re
quires much care to plan farm fences. We will
be only too glad to go over the matter with you
at any time you may desire.
