The United States Department of Agriculture is working out a key by means of which valeties oi sweei po tatoes can be identified. There has always been a great deal of confusion regarding sweet potato varieties, ano this key will make it possible to pos itively Identify all true varieties. It is based on the color, size and shape of the stems and leaves, and the color, size and quality of the potatoes them selves. That the key works is attest ed by the fact that by its use varieties described at the time columous ais- covered America have been identified. The development of varieties ot sweet potatoes for stock feed, sirup, starch and sugar making is under way, and the preliminary results se cured indicate that the possibilities of the sweet potato have hardly been touched upon. It Is yet too soon to say just what may be expected from this work, but the results thus far secured are very promising. This work is being done at Arlington Farm, Va., and at the Pee Dee Exper iment Station, Florence, S. C Investigational work in curing sweet potatoes has also brought out Important results. It was shown that with proper handling in storage con ditions, sweet potatoes can be carried through the winter and aa late as April 1 with not more than 1 per cent of loss from decay. FOR BALE.

We also have a good laboratory, and almost any other de partment we could wish for, with the exception of Physical Culture. Our school at this time iR badly in need of a gymnasium in order that our physical work might progress. There should ho nothing nearer the public than the physical training of their children. What Rood are aca demic courses if you have not the health so you can study (hem? Wiiy is it we have epidemics of serious kinds each year, It is because we are not prepared to keep our bodies in physical condition, there being no place for us to take indoor exercise. If we get exercise at all during t he winter months, we must expose our- Wes to the colt' and storm to got it If our school had a gymnasium the Btudents could have all modern ath letic games which are played In the winter. The smaller children would not have to expose themselves to the storm In order that they get the prop er amount of exercise to keep them healthy as Is the case now. A gymnasium would not only help us now and in later years, but It would be a good place especially for hoys to go at nights when they have nothing to do; and this, It it wera properly curried on, would remove many of the temptations which are now In the way ot the local boys. And I am not alone In the belief that wo need a gymnasium. Watch this spuce and see.
