HANDLING THE
r SWEET POTATO CROP
Raleigh , N. C. May 31.? The tost
soil for sweet potatoes is a light well
t \ / *
drained .loam with a clay subsoil.
Tins light soil will give jilenty ol"
room for the pro|>er growth of the
potato and produce one that is readi
ly marketable. The clay subsoil will ,
prevent the roots from growing deep
info the ground and making a stringy
potato. The disease known as scurf
is more severe on the dark soils than
* A
on light and mars the looks>of the
crop. These are some of tlie sugges-J
lions about the kind of soil to use
for sweet potato growing as reeom-|
?mended by. li. F. Payne of tlie l):-i
vision of Horticulture, State Col I one
and State f)epartment_of Agriculture, i
lie advises a fertilizer analyzing!
v^to 9 percent phosphoric acid, 2 to 3
(percent nitrogen and 3 to 4 percent I
; Hit ash, applied at tlie .rate of fnmi
yiOO to 1,000 per acre. About halt '6f
this application tdimiid be applied in
the row at planting time.
To transplant tlie slips or draws,
Mr. Payne suggests that the bed be
thoroughly v moistened before tlie
plants are puiled. The plai\ts arc
then wrapjH'd with a pit'ee of burlap,
and for best results .should be pud
dled in a' tub containing a quantity]
\\i clay and manure before being -ei ,
in ti e lield. Mr. Pavne suggest* t!:.i
V ' '
a cloudy day be ,u <d lor the Iran. !

JUDGE ADJOURNS COURT
' TO LIST TAXES
' After trying two cases this week,
| Judge Henry P.Lane adjourned Jack
| son County Superior Court, Tuesday
afternoon at 5:30, in order to return
to his home in Iieidsvillc and list
his taxes, and certain properties he
is?holding in trust.
s-4 There were several cases left 011
the docket for trial, and a number of
I litigants were disappointed at not
getting their cases tried this term of
,tl?e court, as they had every reason
to' expect they would be.
,,.The case of J. R. Dillard vs C. W.
Denning Lumber Company, the first
case tried this week, a verdict of
$60.00 odd dollars was awarded to
the plaintiff.
After the evidence for the plain
tiff was in the case of J. K. Kenney
vs r the County Commissioners of
Jackson County and the Board oi
Highway Commissioners of the Coun
ty of Jackson, a non-suit was order
ed, Judge Lane ruling that the road
in question, passing through Mi\
J^enney's property,! at Balsam, and
for which he had entered suit for
#075.00 for alleged damages, is j.
state highway, a part of the state
highway system, and that Mr. Ken
ney 's~ remedy is against the state
highway commission and not the
countv or the countvj road authorities.

Tl.i! County Hoard of Education
lias provided her community with a

for he* children to walk and nftt ob-^

children, who, so far as 1 have heard
are glnd to have the privilege of
