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. Lorine Collins, County Home Demonstration Agent. o "It Bccd Her."

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. Johnson Hardware Co.
