is half the battle
against wall sweating
The Window, in homes where open flame, unvented room
heaters are used, has a prominent part in maintaining healthful
winter conditions. For it is the slight opening of the window
which permits a flow of fresh, oxygen-laden air into the room.
This is important if wall sweating is to be reduced.
All air contains a certain amount of moisture. Condensation
or "sweating” that collects on cold surfaces inside the room
is caused by too much moisture in the room. Water vapor is
one of the products produced by burning fuel. This water
vapor combines with the moisture that is already present in the
air and when the room air reaches a super-saturated condition
"sweating” or condensation collects on any cold surface, such
as walls, windows, doors, and furniture.
The open flame, unvented heater is practical for quick heat
and is used with great satisfaction when sufficient ventilation
is provided by slightly opening a window.
Neat whole hovse not over 72 degrees
Hoot w’lole Souse for healthful liv movement of worm air should be
ing conditions. If unvented type kept circulating in the house
hecte-s ore used it is important to through connecting doors of all
have some ventilation, and a free rooms.

. Easy to Crow
Sweet potatoes are easy to grow,
and require little soil food. Back-1
yard gardens and scattered acres,
in the United States produced a 1943 sick but is recovering,
crop of well over 70 million bushels. !
The creeping, vinelike plant thrives j •
as far north as New Jersey and Union Grove
wt ^t as far as southern California,
as
but Georgia is the top producer.
Really an edible member of the
morning glory family, the sweet po-
tato, not the Irish, was the original
bearer of the potato name. The
white potato was the “papas.” The
sweet potato, the “batatas.”
Although the place of origin is not
definitely known, it was probably in
the sun-warmed soil of tropical
America that tha first productive
vines took foot. Sweet potatoes have
been found in ancient Peruvian
graves. Columbus, in 1492, de-
scribed the tubers as “Niames
(yams) resembling carrots, with a
savor of chestnuts.” Early naviga-
tors, landing on the coasts of Carib-
bean islands, found the sweet potato
“the most delicate roots that may
be eaten.”
Deep Roots
Nearly all kinds of soil- have an
abundant store of moisture from
winter and spring rains way down
deep. However, this won't do your
plants any good if they can’t gel
to it. Subsoil water won’t move up
to the surface fast enough during
