Successful stor age of sweet potatoes depends on harvesting the crop at the right time, handling the roots carefully, proper, ly curing the potatoes, and Intelligent management of the storage hous?. "The potatoes should not be dug before they are mature but the bar vest should be completed before the first frost," says Robert Schmidt, as sistant horticulturist for State College Experiment Station. "A frost ed potato will not keep. It is desirable to harvest the potatoes when the wea ther is bright and the soil dry. Avoid rough handling as bruised potatoes are easily attacked by disease. "Moisture, temperature, and venti. latlon are important factors in sweet potato storage. When the potatoes are freehly dug they contain an excessive amount of moisture. This Is reduced to the proper degree by the process of curing." To Insure the successful curing and storing of the sweet potato crop a definite program must be followed. The following directions prepared by Mr. Schmidt will be found helpful: If the storage house has been used before It should be thoroughly cleaned before storage begins. The house should be disinfected by s praying with a solution of formaldehyde (one pint of formalin to twenty-five gal. Ions of water) or with a solution nade by dissolving one pound of cop per sulphate In twenty-Ore gallons of water. Spray a second time about twenty-four hours later. Then start the fires and dry out the house. Start the fires a day or two before storing begins to insure dryness. Fill the entire house or storage sec tion in as short a time as possible. Storage in crates is preferable to storage in bins because it permits of more thorough ventilation and greater convenience in handling. Maintain a temparature of 80-85 de grees F. for the curing period which usually takes from ten to fourteen days. During this time give aU pos sible ventilation during the day and partial ventilation during the night When the buds show a tendency to sprout and the skin of the potato feels "velvety," curing is completed. When curing is completed, gradu ally reduce the temperature to 50-55 degrees F and hold It at this peint as uniformly as possible throughout the storage period. &se a good thermometer, Dp&'t guess at the temperature. A hygro meter will also prove valuable in de termining the humidity of the bouse. Give partial ventilation every day during fair weather. If moisture col lects on the walls, open therentlla tors and bull/1 a slow fire to drive it out. Fires will also be necessary dur ing very cold weather. The storage house should be in spected dally. * * * ? ? ? * ?' < * B. r. P. P. COKNEB ? ? ? ?**???*???**? This is a daily reading title as you will notice and it is worthy of much nctice. This advice is found in the 4th and 5th chapters of Tim., and is given to a boy prcacher we might call him or to a young christian worker anyway.

Cover Crops! Cover Crops! Let's ask ourselves why the best farmers all over the South today are sowing cover crops, talking cover crops, and many of them even dreaming about cover crops. When we really let ourselves think what ails South ern fanning, it's easy to see why cover crops consti tute the medicine we are after. T^ie greatest needs of our Southern soils are protection from washing and more humus and nitrogen. Cover crops supply these three needs, and supply them with less expenditure of time, labor, and money than any other means. A sys tematic and persistent use of cover crops will makei poor landr rich, w^l give increased profit from the rse of fertilizer, and will furnish the cheapest live stock feed that wo can produce. They do all this ?r ithout interfering with the crops we habitually grow and actually aid in making the crops that follow of bet ter quality and heavier yields. ? (Progressive Farmer)
