As my readers remember there were practically no sweet potatoes made or housed in between the riverS due to the flood waters last year, no slips were housed for this sea sons crop. Our sweet potato slips came from far and near that we made our eating potatoes from this year. Some ordered from plant farms in other states, some bought in nearby seed stores, some were furnished by friends elsewhere and some never had any at all. But any way, we do have one of the best root crops we most ever had throughout this section. And many varieties have been introduced from the old Bahama, Triumph, Norton Yam, Porta Rico, Hog Nose to dukes mixture. Ours are the latter and they are no drag, either. Each potato I bake is of a different color, shape and flavor. They are sweetening a few up on top of the shed. Some who have made sev eral hundred bushels are finding a local market for them at the country stores, while others sell at their home, prices around $2.50 per bushel. There is food value in a sweet potato and people are waking up more and more to the fact. The weather has been so mild that the growth has continued and the vines have made valuable feed for hogs, giving them a good start off. Potato digging time round-about old Colly brings vividly to my mind those happy days at my old home. Instead of a day or two with a helper as we house our potato crop, it required one week with at least from twelve to half that number, all faithful colored folks who lived in small cabins around our old home. Then there were the family help with faithful old Aunt Mag and her list of colored women and mother as a general over-looker—and I am here to re mind my old friends who know her, she did her job well. Father had his hands full with his working crew. I was just a little girl when the big potato crops were made but the old cook, Liz Beatty, who helped so much at our old home, came to see me not long ago and she recalled some of those days. At least three hundred bushels of sweet potatoes, Norton yams and Bahamas, were harvested. The yams were disposed of first and the ’Hamas towards spring after they became sweet. And they were really good and sweet, too. Father always waited until just a nip of frost came to dig. The helpers went through with the regular routine of digging which was the men’s job and the women hands did the separating in the fields.

The walls were double, filled in between with sawdust. It was an ideal method of keeping sweet potatqes. The cellar was located on one side of a little path that led to the barn lot and on the other side of the path was where the potatoes were banked, later to be taken down as needed in the cel lar. There were so many of these banks that we children would play hide-and-seek among them and were hard to find. In the summer my sister, Mary Ellen, and I would have our play house in the now empty cellar. But now to meal times for the harvesting week of all those pota toes. The colored crew ate break fast at their homes, the other two meals at father’s. Our old cook was telling me recently that “Marsa” George always killed a pig and a goat for the occasion then there was plenty of meat in the smokehouse. Vegetables a plenty. Aunt Mag and her crew thoroughly enjoyed their job. The pot that was used to do the out door cooking when my little broth er, George, was lost, was brought into use again. Potato pies by the dozens were freshly baked for each meal. Plenty of hot coffee and persimmon beer, also.

SLASH IN FUNDS TO REDUCE CREWS Approximately 200 Mem bers Of USES Work Force May Lose Jobs Some 50 members of the dredge Huston’s crew are the first victims of the economy slash which has cut funds for the local office of the U. S. Army Engineers to a trickle. ( The crew members will be laid off early this week in the wake of the order which has put their craft, formerly engaged in dredging the Cape Fear, on a stand-by basis, officials said here last night. The Hudson, tied up at the Engineers’ Eagle Island yard dur ing the week-end, will be followed into dead storage by the Ho" an, a sea-going dredge currently en gaged on the Morehead City bar.

I be lieve it was. One night Menirva came in from out doors with a distressing tale of woe. She related that she heard ‘‘queer noise out bout de tater cellar”. Investiga tion proved that the old colored cook was right in saying an in vestigation was needed. Father opened the cellar door and there stretched out close to the air shaft was old Uncle Amos Flynn, almost dead. The spark of air flowing .through was all that saved his life. He must have been in the | cellar doing some little task when the door was closed for the night. But of course ’most anything can happen in between the rivers here and there. NOW!
