Calling Potato
Growers To Duty
flit# -•- J
By J. W. Sumner
The Statesmen's rail to duty
is "Now is the time for all good
men to come to the aid of their
party.” The sweet potato grower’s
call to duty is "Now is the time
for the 1951 sweet potato crop."
The farmer who is taking his
sweet potato erop seriouly should
be thinking now about improv
ing his crop for the coming year
Disease control is one of the
things he should consider. To as
sure himself of a good supply of
disease free potatoes, a farmer
should set ‘ vine eutlins” in .suf
ficient number to grow his bed
ding potatoes for next year.
These vine cuttings should be
grown on land not having had
sweet potatoes for at least 4 years.
Setting should be done before
July 1 with about 12 inch spac
ing and fertilized at the rate of
about 1000 pounds per acre of
3-9-9.
Digging of these seed potatoes
should be done before frost. The
selection of seed at digging time
is of vital importance. Before
starting selection work the grow
er should have in mind his ideal j
type of sweet potato and select j
only those which most nearly '
conform to this ideal. These po
tatoes should he selected from I
hill having at least 4 number one j
potatoes with good copper skin i
color. Those seed potatoes should
he kept separate in storage and
receive special care. They should
not be disturbed until bedding
time in the spring.
The farmers of Edgecombe,
Martin, and Bill counties are re
(pasted to call on J W. Sumner,
Sweet Potato Assistant Agent, 1
with their sweet potato problems.
I.ets make these counties The
Sweet Potato Counties of North
Carolina. Keep a vigilant watch
for any diseases in the field now.

Following a visit to this section h\ the high

ing frt'rh in hclialf of Smith's campaign for
the I nitial Stairs Small- in this coiiutv a fm
days ago. Politicians were ashed to name
their own price for their services in hehalf of
Smith.
When a candidate can't offer sufficient ap
peals hv his life's record and has to resort to
the almighlv dollar to huv a place, it is time
for the people to do a hit of thinking.

The Most Unfair Yet
(i.diUwiul in The News and Observer, litih »"/i. .him- 10, 1*010)
l.nng before the first primary on May 27. the campaign against
Senator Frank I*. Graham became known far ami wiifc as the most
nnfnir ever conducted in North Carolina.
It in getting perse in ||u« campaign preceding I In* m'coiiiI primary.
IVInrli of tin* dirty Imsinrss, most of it in fart, lias lurn conducted
undercover l»y men unwilling to lake responsibility for things lln*y
say and do,
Tlir most unfair and unfounded, and lioaslfnl charge to date,
however, was made by tin* opposition candidate himself. Speaking
at a rally of Ids supporters in the Wake County Court Mouse on Fri
day ni^lil, Willis Sinitli said that before the campaign started Sena
tor Gruhani “favored FKl’C, without reservation." lie added: “In
ten short weeks of campaigning I have eonverted Mr. Grahapi from
everything he ever stood for."
That statement is as false as it is boastful. Senator Crulium has
always opposed the pending FFI’C bill or any Olber.foriii.of federal
eouipnlsion in rare relations.
Mr. Smith says Mr. Cruliam before the campaign favored the
FKI’C without reservation, lie can eite no oeeasion on wbieli Mr.
Gruhnni said anything of the sort. 'I bis misrepresentation is utter
ly without foundation. Mr. Smith himself made no real effort to
justify it.
Ill lid* first campaign, IN le Ivev, editor of tin* \\ iuslon-Salem
Sentinel, queried every member of the Ci\il Mights Commission, of
which Mr. Graham was a member ami signer of its minority report,
and established without question that he did oppose the FF.I’C with
in the eommissinu.
'I’hese statements are now sought to he brushed aside oil the
ground that the denials were not made until after the charge. How
eouhl they have been made before? And who could have anticipat
ed so ridiculous a charge?
The truth is that Mr. Smith was so anxious to drag the race ques
tion into his talk, that he stooped to questioning the honor, integrity
and truthfulness of Frank Graham—something no man lias ever
done before. And something no man who has respect for character
would dare to undertake.
This is the lowest blow of all. And it was not delivered hy an ir
responsible follower, but by the candidate himself.
