SWEEIL POTATO
CROP MATURING
EARLY THIS YEAR
Potatoes Should Be Out of
Ground Before Frost,
Specialist Says
The sweet-potato crop of North
.Carolina is -maturing early tin- year
and there is no reason for delaying
the harvest. The potatoes should be
out of the -ground before frost, because
when hurt bv cold the potatoes will not
keep under any conditions. v -~
"Killing the vines by frost_does not
always affect the root crop under the
vines." savs Robert Schmidt, vegetable
specialist at State College, "yet there
is always- danger of cold liijorv when
the frosts are lufavy. In handling the
potatoes, they should be moved as
little as. possible and care taken not
to bruise* them. Bruises provide fa
vorable conditions for rots, and when
the bruise,s heal, they leave unsightly
blemishes an the potato."
Mr. Schmidt recommends a standard
curing house as the bes-f place .for
curing and storing the crop. Tobacco
barns may lie- used, but they have
disadvantages; however, even tobacco
barns are to lie dsired above earthen
I®nitS. T 7"
Befor.e using the old .storage house,
clean ,j,t out and disiirfecl th,c iivsidc
thoroughly When it has dried out
begin to store the potatoes. ( uring
should start a* so.n as any potatoes'
are brought into tlii- house. I lie cur
ing temperature is about K5 -degrees,
and it will take two iwfks to get a
good cure. During' all this time, the
house must be well ventilated and at
the end of the curing , period? the
tehiperatur> needs.... to lie reduced to
about 50 degrees and kept at that point
all the time tlit roots are in the house.
The potatoes heed a dt v atmosphere
to keep well, wliiclj makes- vcntila
tion very .important. states Mr..
Schmidt.

Excellent- garden records are being

In Pitt County, for instance, Mr.
Morrow visited the garden belonging

ville. Mrs. Vincent finds time to cul
tivate "a farm garden three-quarter*
of an acre in size, in addition to car?
ing for ntne children."- Seven of tfce
children #re in the local consolidated
school, and the garden has been made
to liear much of the expense of these
children. ■ Mrs. Vincent has served a
liberal supply-of fresh vegetables from
her garden throughout the sifnimcr,
and since the first of March has sold
$,229 worth of vegetables oil the Green-,
villi* curb market When Mr. Morrow
visited this garden on September 20,
In- found about 25 different kinds of I
vegetables being grown, with .15 vari
eties ready, for. immediate use.
Mr- Mil ton Sample, ftf "Pasquotank

Trans-Atlantic Flight Fails
The monoplane "American Girl,"
which carried an American girl, Ruth
Elder, off over the Atlantic last
Tuesday afternoon, for a non-stop
flight from New York to Paris, is
today a burned wreck in the ocean,
the goal unreached, but the girl her
self is safe.
\Cith her companion in the adven
ture, Captain George Haldeman, also
ss»fe, she is aboard the Dutch steamer
Barendrecht, which rescued them
eurly yesterday from the fallen plane
i;ome 325 miles northeast of the
Azores, about 900 miles from the Por
tcigese coast. They were then about,
a,OOO miles along their course.
Something serious happened the
monoplane's machinery—a broken
oil pipe—the fliers had to come down.
Perhaps they floated until the Bar
endi*cht came along, or perhaps they
deliberately camp down when they
sighted her. The whole story has yet
to he told; but as*they were being
rescued,'fire started aboard the plane
arid it was destroyed.
A wireless from the Barendrecht,
vainly besieged all day for further
•icws, may tell more of the dramatic
tale before the tanker reaches the
Azores, probably Saturday morning.
Tl»e facts already known came partly
from Huth Elder herself in a ters
wireless message to the Associated
Press Bureau in Paris that she and
Handleman had been picked up by
the tanker and were "O. Keh," from
the agents of the tanker in Rotter
dam and from her captain, - whos'-
massage told of the destruction of
(lie "American Girl" by Art as her i
crew was being rer.ciied.
