Use Vine Cut* To
Start Your Potatoes
Owing to the scarcity of sweet po
tato slips in Cleveland county and the
whole state I want to urge every per
son who does not have enough potato
‘■bus to - et out , to use vine cuttings.
When the potato vines which have
been set out get to be eight or l'«
inches long these vines can be cut
and pushed in the ground with a
stick leaving only a little of the vino
sticking out. The vines should be put
in the ground while there is a season
1,1 and practically every cutting will
live.
Vine cuttings can be set out pro
fitably up to July 4th and will make
practically as many bushels as the
slips and potatoes free from disease
that will keep hotter than the pota
toes grown from seed.
Everybody should put out a few
vine cutings to get your seed for
next year and this is a good year to
start when potato slips are so scarce

HAIL STORMS ALL
AROUND US
For the last few days the
papers have been full of re
ports of damaging hail storms
in every county around us—
and in South Carolina, Tenn
essee and Georgia. We are
having hail storms in our own
county. A number of claims
have come into us already. A
number this week.
If your crop is not insured
against hail damage you are
taking a great risk. The cost
is very small to insure, only
$2.00 per acre if you take $50
insurance per acre. See us at
once for hail insurance.

FOUR THINGS COME

“Four things come not back;
The spoken word;

Time past;
The neglected opportunity.”
—Saying of Omar.
The neglected opportunity!
Can you look back to last year, or last
month, or last week and think of opportun
ities now forever gone?
Time past! Those weeks and months
and years cannot be recalled. It is useless
to brood over them, except to permit the
experiences of the past to be a teacher and
guide for the future.
One of the opportunities open before you
today is that of saving—saving every pen
ny that you can. . 4l
