Whenever waste has to do with
manufacturing, or any kiud of
production, prices inevitably go
up, or are kept up.
The cost of waste must be added
to the selling prico, or the retail
seller must bear it.
It is reputed that waste is reduc
ed to the minimum by the great
corporations, but not always.

What is being done at the
Experiment Station, niay be
done by the sweet potato growers
throughout the State* Growers
may become familiar with sweet
potato dieases by experience or
better, by reading the bulletins
describing such dieases. With
this information any grower should
b.e able to go into the field at
harvest time and select hills of
potatoes which are free from
disease and which have five or
more marketable potatees to the
hill.
Some growers .believe that
.potatoes stored in banks or pits
will produce sprouts or draws
hotter and quicker than potatoes
stored in curing houses.. This is a
mistake idea, as proved by the
Experiment Stations and growers
throughout the South, who have
tested this and found that the
seed potatoes stored in properly
operated houses produce more and
better plants per bushel of seed.
It is as important to get the

suffering a great deal of pain, weak,

I couldn’t walk across the floor; just

doctors. Still J didn’t get any relief.
I couldn’t eat, and slept poorly. I
believe if I hadn’t heard of and taken
Cardui I would have died. I bought
six bottles, after a neighbor told me
what it did for her.
“I began to eat and sleep, began to
gain my strength and am now well
and strong. I haven’t had any trou*

good that Cardui did me. I

A CORRECTION
In referring to the special school
[; Tax levy of the Byron Gohsaiidat-
ed School District, through
typagroyhical error of copaist the
amount of the levy is made to
read “four and one*hald tenths of
one percent.” The correct per
centage is four tenths of one per
cent and this coreetion will appear
in the subsequent publication of
the Houston County Tax Levy iu
