Treating Sweet Potatoes To Pre
vent Rot following Packaging:
For years shippers and receivers
have had trouble with sweet po
tatoes rotting in transit or in
the market. Most of this is
caused by soft rot and black rot
that develops on the roots after
washing, gi'ading and packaging
for shipment to market. Most
of these losses can now be pre
vented by the proper application
of sodium o-pheny lphenate
(SOPP) during grading.
The recommended procedure is;
as follows: 'Wash potatoes, sort!
out the culls, trim or otherwise;
shape the roots by snapping the!
ends, treat with SOPP, grade
and package. Do not injure po
tatoes after they are treated be
cause such injured spots re
main untreated and are open for,
infection of rot diseases. Cured]
potatoes should be treated with j
a one percent solution of SOPPj
and the concentration should he
maintained at that level for ef
fectiveness.
To properly inform growers
and packers relative to treating
sweet potatoes with SOPP, a
special meeting is scheduled to
be held at the County Agent’s
Office in Goldsboro, corner of
George and Chestnut streets on
Thursday, December 15, this
Thursday at 7:30 P. M. Growers
and packers in Chowan County j
who plan to attend this meet
ing might contact my office and
we can arrange to travel to
gether.
Nickels For Know How: Recent
ly I received the following let
ter from Dr. Roy L. Lovvorn,
Director of Agricultural Research
in North Carolina, which I think
is a compliment to all of you
who voted in the referendum on
September 30.
“All of us are exceedingly
pleased with the results of the
Nickels For Krhow How Referen
dum that was held on Septem-i
be 30. The total vote and the
percentage voting affirmatively;
was most reassuring. For the I
part that each of you played in
"Getting Out The Vote” in your

say “Thank You.” I hope that
this single copy may be read

Let's Live And Let Live: I no
ticed in an article a few days
ago that there were 29 fatal au
tomobile tccidents last Decern- ,
her. The writer was pleading .
with the public to be safety \
conscious this December in or
der that we might live and let
live. Wouldn’t it be wonderful (
if during the month of Decem
ber, this year we could go]
through without having a single
fatal accident leaving a vacant
chair any where in any home, ]
especially your home.
Accidents are caused by care
lessness on the part of drivers.
Most of these are young drivers.
We not only have to be cautious
of our own driving but we must ,
also be cautious of the other fel
low’s driving. We may have the ,
right-of-way, we may be within
our perfect legal rights, but if
the other fellow infringes on
cur rights and we don't yield to
him it is too late.
Parents might do much by
talking seriously with their boys
and girls who drive the car.
Impress upon them the necessity
of not speeding, not taking a
chance, and employing all safe
driving practices. If a youth
fails to observe safe driving
rules, then do something to make
the safe driving rules become
impressed upon him. Many of
youth’s accidents may be the
fault of the parents. Parents
who turn the family car over
to a son or daughter without
strict instructions as to safe
driving and not checking to see
that those instructions are car-,
ried out. Let’s Live and Let
Live this happy Christmas Sea-1

Frankly Speaking

This is the busy season. Also
the happiest season of the year.
Also the time when we’re ad
monished to remember some
thing too many of us are lia
ble to forget—the real reason
behind Christmas. By the way,
we’ve got some very fine, in
spirational programs for you on
Christmas Day over WCTty. On
that subject I was talking last
Saturday to the gents at the
Post Office who wanted to re
mind one and all about mailing
early.
First television loss of this
season is the Friday night thrill
er, Dan Raven. By the way,
remember all the sensationalist
publicity the newspapers gave
the firing of William Talman as
district attorney on the Perry
Mason Show? Well, minus any
noise and publicity, he’s back ort
the job, mainly due to public
sentiment. The actors who took
his place were merely carbon
copies of the character Talman
created on the excellent Perry
Mason program.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
“Is the Universe, Including
Man, Evolved.by Atomic Force?”
will be the subject of the Les
son-Sermon. at Christian Science
church services Sunday.
. Seripttiral selections will in
clude Christ Jesus’ striking re
sponse to his disciples’ call for
help during the tempest at sea:
“And bis disciples came to
him, arid awoke him, saying,
Lord, save us: we perish. And
he saith unto them, Why are ye
fearful, O ye of little faith?
Then he arose, and rebuked the
winds and the sea: and there
was a great calm” (Matthew
8:25, 26).
A correlative citation to be
read from “Science and Realth'
with Key to the Scriptures” by
Mary Baker Eddy states: “The
