Academy at Chattanooga, Tenn.
For outstanding service, members
of the Wildlife Club presented a

Other prizes were given to various

Colonial - Suffolk
Series Calted Off
Small Crowds Turn Out
For First Two Post-
Season Games
After two games were played in the
proposed five-game post season series
between the Edenton Colonials and
the Suffolk Goobers of the Virginia
League, it was discovered that base
ball in Edenton had run ( its course
and the series was called off Wed
nesday night of last week after com
paratively small crowds turned out
for the first two games played in
Edenton.
Suffolk defeated the Colonials in
both games, taking the first game
with little trouble by a score of 8-0.
On Wednesday night the Colonials
played a somewhat improved game,
but even then lost to the Suffolk ag
gregation 5-2.
The Colonials looked nothing like
the team which was on the field while
winning the Albemarle League pen
nant and subsequently the league
championship, and due to the appar
ent lack of interest on the part of
. fans, both teams agreed to call off
the remaining games.
Proper Curing Advised
For Sweet Potatoes
Farmers who cure their sweet po
tatoes carefully and store them at
proper temperature and humidity
are finding their losses from sot to
be reduced appreciably, says H. M.
Covington, Extension Horticulture
specialist at State College.
Sweet potatoes have for years been
“cured” before storage—kept for
about 10 days immediately after har
vest at a temperature of 85 degrees
and a relative humidity of about 85
per cent. The explanation for the
success of this process is that when
the skin of a sweet potato tuber is
broken in the harvesting process, the
tuber forms a layer of corky cells
, which heals the wound. This heal
ing takes place most rapidly in fair
ly high temperature and moisture
conditions.
Even with the greatest possible
oare in handling, there are at least
two small wounds on almost every
sweet potato, where the ends are
broken in harvesting. Until com
pletely healed by the formation of
new cells, these breaks are entrances
for disease-producing organisms. U.
S. Department of. Agriculture spec
ialists working in cooperation with
the Southeastern States have found
that wound-cork layers formed be
neath the dried and hardened wound
surface greatly retard infection and
to a large degree actually prevent it.
At a temperature of 85 degrees
and ar relative humidity of 85 per
cent this healing process begins by
the third day and proceeds rapidly.
