July 7.?Pick the sound potatoes, handle them careful ly "?md be sure they are dry before trying: to store them for winter ad vises the Division of Horticulture of the North Qarolina Agricultural Experiment Station. The sweet po tato is one of the easiest and sur est crops raised in North Carolina, yet every year a large percentage of the entire crop is lost because of faulty methods used in storing. The difference between success and fail in handling the crop lies, in iht main, with four Important factors. These are, careful handling, free dom from disease, thorough dryness and an even temperature while the potato is in storage. The sweet potato is very easily damaged by handling and once the skin is broken or the root bruised, it is very easily attacked by disease. The less it is handled the better the chances are that it will pass through storage successfully. Under no circumstances should bags be used to gather the crop as this defeats every attempt at successful storage. No potato should be put up for storage if it has on it dark blotches, soft spots, or rotten ends. Such potatoes ore diseased and whether they are placed in a bank or a house they will keep but a short time. The first consideration should be to keep such potatoes from those it is wished to store. The problem of ventilation should be carefully considered for when potatoes have been dried they should not be allowed to sweat or get wet again. If this happens, a good medium in which "storage rot" may spread is furnished. These and other matter relating to the storage of sweet potatoes are discussed in detail! in Extentiofi Circular 30 which may be had on application to Director B. W. Kil gore North Carolina Agricultural Extention service. 93 809 Henry Everett, Como 94 1114 John Irvin Jenkins, Aulan'r 95 645 Davis Darden, Ahoakie 96 218 Garney E. Whitley, Como 97 620 J. P.

Raleigh, August 7?In order that cottoo graders may render the most efficient and satisfactory service, it is necessary that ample time be given them to properly prepare for the work. For this reason the Board of County Commissioners should make the necessary appro priation for cotton grading work at its August meeting. According to Mr. 0. J. McDon nell. who has the cotton grading work in charge, it is not probable that a grading office will be estab lished in any county that does not come in early. These counties will be served from offices established in'counties providing for the work in August. By this it is not meant that grading offices will be placed in all connties providing for the ser vice, but the county that comes in early stands a better chance of hav ing its individual office. Amounts which counties are re quired to furnish in order to re ceive the service vary according to the production of cotton. The to tal cost to Hertford County would be fifty dollars. Conserve Sweet Potato Crop. Raleigh, August 6?Despite the fact that the sweet patato is one of the surest and easiest to raise, it is also one of the hardest crops to keep in storage. There are four main factors which Makes the mat ter of storage either a success or a Ailure. These "are careful handling freedom from disease, a thorough state of dryness, and an even tem perature maintained while the pa toto is in storage. In Extension Circular No. 30. Ur. R. Hill, at the Division^ of Horticulture discusses methods of overcoming these serious ^roubles and gives plans for a storage house which wis found successful at the PendeKBranch Station. This cir cular may be had on application to the Extension Service. Let the Courts Act ? ________ Editor of the Hertford County Herald: The patrons of the Ahoskie Grad ed School District should imme diately demand of the contesting Boards of Trustees that they agree upon the teachers for the coming : School Year. With capable teach ers selected without dispute, the future of the School is assured. 1 With the interests of the children and the community in education safely protected, then let the des tructionists litigate to their hearts content over the empty honors of the trusteeship. The present school wrangle demonstrates very clearly the need of education and leader ship among the people to take the place of the blinding ignorance and bossi8m that is often manifested in Ahoakie. The people of the Dis trict should tint up as one man and see that the contentions of the nar row bosses be subordinated to the interests of the School and commun ity. Edgar T. Snipes. Alvin H.

COMMISSIONERS PUCE SHEWFEJ SALARY The Hertford County Commis sioners at their regular monthly meeting held in Winton |pst Mon day voted unanimously to place the Sheriff of the County on a salary basis and placed the county funds in a bank which will act as Treasu rer for the County.

The salary of the Sheriff as fixed by the aforesaid act was twelve hundred dollars per year and process fees, which will proba bly total about eighteen hundred dollars per anniim.
