The attendance at Sunday school was off some last Sunday as usual when the weather is bad and it was rather cool, too. However, several more got to church in time for the preaching service. The subject of the morning ser mon was "The Exemplary Servant" based on Paul's writing in Ist Thessalonians 2. Miss Louise Lemmons was granted a letter of dismission to unite with a church in Columbia, S. C., where she has gone to study in Columbia Bible College. Miss Lemmons will be missed in the activities of the church as she has been one of our most un tiring workers. The scripture lesson Sunday even ing was the second Psalm and the message was based on the Ist chapter ' of Ephesians, the subject was "Fruits j of the Kingdom." j The Departmental superintendents are preparing for promotion day next Sunday and they will be pretty busy this week getting certificates ready and rounding out their pro-1 grams. We were glad to have with us sev-, eral visitors last Sunday. We are al ways glad to have visitors with us. —— \ CHAUTAUQUA WILL RETURN NEXT YEAR i Another chautauqua has come and gone and was a success. The large tent would not seat all who came and and some had to stand at each ses sion. Enough pledges for tickets were secured to assure the return of the chautauqua again next year. All the numbers were good we are looking forward to next year in anticipation of a still greater chautauqua season. — " DIG SWEET POTATOES BEFORE KILLING FROST Sweet potatoes which have been ' chilled in the ground will not keep well in storage so a good rule to follow in harvesting is to dig before the vines have been killed by frost. "In digging sweet potatoes, use every precaution to prevent cutting and bruising the roots," cautions H. R. Niswonger, extension horticultur ist at State College. "The) crop should receive a grading in the field, discard ing the bruised, cut and otherwise worthless specimens. Place the po tatoes in slatted crates for storing., Three grades are generally made, these being U. S. No. 1, Jumbos, and culls. Culls may be fed to the live stock and should by all means be kept out of the storage house." ; The U. S. No. 1 grade consists of sweet potatoes of similar character istics which are firm, free from black rot, decay and freezing injury. Such potatoes are also, free from dam age caused by dirt, secondary root lets, bruises, cuts, growth cracks, scald, scurf, and other diseases, or by weevils and other insects, or mechanical injury. The diameter of such a potato is not less than one and three-fourths inch nor more than three and one-half inches, while the length is not less than three inches or more than 10 inches. When putting the sweet potatoes in the storage house, it is well to see that the house has been made clean. Careful sweeping of the floors walls and ceiling is necessary. The careful grower will also heat his house for at least one day before storing any of his crop and he will then keep up the proper temperature until the so-called sweating period is ovef. Mr. Niswonger says that one person should be responsible for the house and entirely in charge during the curing season. Prof, and Mrs. B. P. Caldwell and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Haynes enter tained the school faculty over the week-end at their homes at Chestnut Hills. Several others went up to spend Sunday with them.

SOW COVER CROP BETWEEN COTTON ROWS It is unnecessary to wait until the corn and cotton crops have been harvested to plant cover crops. Sim ply sow the seed between the rows in early fall and cover lightly. "Cover crops for soil improvement may be planted in corn and cotton fields with less trouble than any where else on the farm," says E. C. j Blair, extension agronomist at State I College. "If the cotton stalks are • not large, crimson clover and vetch I miay be planted anytime after Sept j ember first. All that is necessary is •to broadcast the seed and cover them. The ordinary cultivator is suit ; able when sowing vetch seed but for crimson clover, the cultivator should have fine teeth so as to cove# i the seed lightly." If the cotton has grown large and j dense, it is better to wait until im i mediately after the first picking be fore sowing the cover crop. This will avoid damage to the lower bolls. Af ter the first picking, some of the cot ton leaves will have fallen olf, giving the young clover and vetch plants a chance to grow. Too much shade will kill them, as will too much hot sun shine, says Mr. Blair. Mr. Blair says that this same meth od may be followed in corn fields. Sow cover crop seed early in Sept- ember if the corn is not too rank. It is not wcrth while to sow vetch and crimson clover in those corn fields where there is a heavy crop of late growing soybeans such as the Biloxi variety. The ground will be shaded until too late for the winter crop to make growth. However, rye may be sown in such fields immediately af ter frost. The proper rate of seeding vetch or crimson clover is 25 pounds an acre. If the land is not already in oculated, one must inoculate the seed and cover as directed. Neglect to do either of these two things is to invite failure in the venture. You Get a Different Story Here / We don't lean on another fellow's reputation by saying "all tires are about alike" and "ours are just as good." We sell Goodyears which we can prove are super ior. We don't even stop with the facts about the popu larity of Goodyear Tires which offer overwhelming evidence. We go ahead and show you by demonstration that the tread and carcass of a Goodyear—in any shape you buy—are definitely superior.
