Storing Potatoes
T. H. McHatton, professor of
horticulture at the State Agricultural
College, speaking of storing sweet
potatoes, says: "Thesound potatoes
with abrasions or bruises, should lie
stored in mounds of about twenty
huBhels each. T.ny planks for base
of each mound, on these putting
straw. Construct a chimney of ten
or twelye-inch boards and heap the
potatoes around this, and cover with
straw. Then put on dirt enough to
keep out the frost or cold. ’ ’
If inconvenient to get the boards
for the chimney, it can lie con

knowledge springing up all over the,
State. And the State College nf
Agriculture is doing all it can to
meet this demand for informotion,
and the press of the State is doing
its part to disseminate what the
college sends out. Dr. Soule says
if scientific knowledge is not gup-
plied to every one, it will be because
of lackof funds. I noticed along
the route that farmers had plowed in
oats and also wheat, and upper
Georgia farmers say that a great
deal of grain has been sowed. The
farmer certainly has a good market
for what he has to sell.”

Henry Carr, of Pulaski county,
gives this statement as to how he
made pom on one sore. He eiye:
"I broke the land with a two-horae

Paintings
From Jan. 5th through the 25th
there will be shown a collection of
oil paintings in the University Li
brary at Athens. These painting
have been selected mainly from the
New York Academy of Design and
The Albright Exhibition in Buffalo
and are sent ont the south and west
by the American Federation of ArtB
at Washington.
Usually it is necessary to journey
to the big northern cities to see
these paintings and it is counted a
rare opportunity to all who love
the beautiful to have them shown
in Athens.
It is hoped that during the three
weeks of the exhibition friende from
the country and from the adjoining
town will visit Athens and see the
pictures.
That it may mean the beginning of
a permanent Art Gallery for this
section of the country is the ardent
wteh a4 the artists and art lovers of
