THE S I Sweet Potatoes Are Moving Now | Southern Grown Sweet Potatoes Are Moving To Northern And Central Western Markets In Quantities Southern grown sweet potatoes, particularly the Porto Rico or Rican variety, arc moving to Northern and Central Western markets this season in considerable volume. A prominent buyer I of sweet potatoes grown in the I Carolinas informed me recently | that some cars of Carolina porto j Ricans have been sold in highly j competitive markets at prices | I equal to prices paid for Louisiana | Porto Ricans; Lourisiana being, 1 | by far, the heaviest shipper of! ' fancy sweet potatoes. Southern sweet potatoes of j | moist varieties arc usually called | yams outside of the South, and ' formerly . these so-called yams | were not desired by 'Northern and Western produce houses. This is no longer the case, as yams are now well established as a popular fall, winter and spring food throughout the North and Central West. This situation is largely due to long years of hard work on the part of a few enthusiasts, and to improvement in the Southern sweet potato, brought about through seed selection, proper fertilization, careful handling, grading, dressing-up. etc. etc. Inasmuch as Porto Rican sweet potatoes have become a substantial commercial crop in some-sec tions of Tidewater Virginia and Coastal Plain North Carolina and South Carolina, the following historical data, taken from an office memorandum prepared by me about 18 years ago, may contain Information of interest to workers who have so materially improved the quality, conformation HIKI JICHIH UI sni-ci jiiiuiiyya grown in this section; and to those local buyers whose active cooperation in providing a ready market has made it easy for those of us engaged in promo-i tional work to interest many farmers in growing sweet potatoes as a money crop: t ' "My active -interest in the conservation of sweet potatoes was inspired by an article in the County Gentleman early in 19171 calling attention to the terrific economic loss going on year after year resulting from th'c crude, method of storing potatoes in earthen banks. In this article it Was stated that the loss by rot of sweet potatoes produced in the United States in 1916, estimated at 70,955,000 bushel,s( amounted to 30,066,000 bushels. or approximately 13 per cent of. the crop of that year. I am in-; clined to think the percentage of loss claimed too modest, but this showing of waste, at a time when the world was In such desperate need of food, claimed my attention. Since that time I have become a sWcct potato enthusiast, talking sweet potatoes, eating sweet potatoes on any and all 1 occasions, and dreaming of the South's opportunity in this sptcridid crop.

I, This is a statement made by 0' H. R. Niswonger, horticulturist r of the State College Extension j Service, in a circular just pub- j, lished telling how to grow early j. vegetable plants. In addition to ( information on temperature-con- a trolling devices and cultural prac- ^ tices, Dr. Luther Shaw,- extension n plant pathologist, and J. O. Ro- t well, extension entomologist, have j] contributed sections on disease v and insect control, respectively. j, The publication , is available -j free to North Carolina farmers h and home gardeners upon request K to the Agricultural Editor at ^ State College for Extension Cir- ^ cular No. 231. "Growing Early Vegetable Plants." h Niswongcr explains me con- n struction of hotbeds and cold- j, frames, and recommends soil pre- j] paration, seeding and fertlliza- )( tion of frames and hotbeds. He also takes up transplanting and a frame management. p Rowcll tells how to control the ? seven most common insects which p attack early vegetable plants, i namely: Cutworms, flea beetles, a aphids, (or plant lice), red spi- j, dors, cabbage maggots, mole c crickets, and slugs. n Dr. Shaw discusses disease con- w trol by (1) plant bed sanitation, p (2) planting seed of disease-re- y sistant varieties when available, Sl (3) seed treatment, (4) spraying, j and (5) proper plant bed manage- C( ment. y ? :?: t( HOME DIET VARIED c BY CANNED MEATS it Canned meats offer many pos- fj stbilities for variety in the diet, f, says Miss Mary E. Thomas, nutri- jc tionist of the State College Extension Sen-ice. With cans of chicken, beef and pork on the ? pantry shelves the homcmaker has at hand fresh meats already cooked that may be quickly converted into an appetizing dish P for unexpected company, or for the family. 01 Nothing develops flavor so ? readily as browning, Miss Thomas points out. Therefore it is well to add a shade or two more when the meat is taken from the can. Because the meat is very tender, the slow steady heat of the oven is usually better adapted to browning canned meat3 than is the quick, intense heat of the frying pan, she added. One recipe Miss Thomas especiollv rocmnnionflq ut this snssnn of the year is for "Sweet Potato and Sausage Puff." The ingredients arc: 3 or 4 sweet potatoes; 1 tablespoon of butter; 1 egg, beaten; 1 tablespoon of brown sugar; one-half teaspoon of salt; one-half cup of milk; and three-fourths of a cup of canned sausage. The potatoes should be cooked, peeled and put through a ricer. Add seasonings, egg and milk. Beat until light and fluffy. Add sausage, finely minced. Pile in a buttered baking dish and bake In a hot oven until heated through and brown or. top. Serve at once from baking dish. Miss Thomas also suggests "Meat and Tomato Casserole," as follows: Place a layer of thinly sliced raw Irish potatoes in the bottom of a. greased baking dish. Season with salt and pepper and a little chopped onion. Add Vs cup of gravy or white sauce. Over this place a. layer of canned meat which has been heated. Use another layer of mctt and potatoes if necessary. Add t cup of canned tomatoes. Sprinkle with buttered bread crumbs. Cover and bake slowly until potatoes are done, about one hour. Remove cover and brown crumbs tin last 15 minutes. WASHINGTON LETTER Washington, February 1?Congress has at last settled down to routine matters.

In fact, it is generally inderstood that the President and lis advisers are awaiting the irystailization of sentiment on Capitol Hill before formulating lew public policies. Major Congressional committees i ire functioning normally. The i icarcity of sensationalism is disposed in the sparsely attended i mblic hearings and the empty ' eats in the Senate and House fallcrics during debates.
