FARM NOTES.

Keep the weeds down.
Beat out the meat shortage by
raising vegetables.
Root out the early radish and plant
peas. Keep the ground working.
Again we say, drain the garden. Wet
kills more gardens than drought.
Plant tomatoes now In the garden
to supplement those set out earlier.
Most vegetables can be planted in
closer rows than they are usually
planted.
Glover or rape pasture is cheaper
than mill or ground feed and should
be used freely.
The principal difficulty with the av-
erage manure spreader is that 1t is
not used enough.
It's an old and true saying: IF
you plant scabby potatoes. you'll raise
scabby potatoes"
If you don't see your garden every
day, you'll be surprised how fast the
weds have grown.
Even the gasoline engine, indispen.
sable as It is, cannot entirely supplant
the horse on the farm.
Don't plant the cucumbers too close
to the other vegetables; also don't
plant them too near corn.
II you have small patch of late po-
tatoes to plant, try mulching with old
hay instead Of cultivating.
Some growers say Early Cluster is
best for pickles OF all the cucumber
tribe while others claim White Spine
best.
Raising blue grass seed requires ex.
pert work but that It pays the net
profit Of from 5000 to $3.50 per acre
has been demonstrated by a Kansas
farmer.
Corn that is housed In the sil0 is
harvested when the feeding qualities
are at their height. Not only the ears
but the whole plant goes to nourish
the stock upon the farm.
Straighten up the place these bright
sunny days. The boards and boxes
that you have thrown just outside the
barn or woodhouse door can be picked
up easier now than later.

WHY YOUNG FOLK LEAVE FARM
Among Principal Reasons for This Re-
prettabIe Movement 10 Lack Of
Rural Social Life.
CBy HOWARD H. GRoss)

There are a number of reasons why
the young men and women forsake
the farm home and try their luck in
the city. This is too often unfortunate
for the individual and 1t Is menace
to the welfare of the country. Among
the principal reasons for this regret
table movement is the lack Of social
life In the rural districts-there is SO
little going on-the horizon is narrow
the numbers met are too few and
the meetings often too infreQuent-
the opportunity for companionship Is
restricted as to numbers and often
mismarriages result because the
homes and not the hearts join.
The country schools have not kept
pace with the town school. The boys
and girls cannot get the education
they wish, and ought to have except
they go away to school, and this they
are doing by tens Of thousands. The
school spirit and social life of the
town appeal to them and they become
as 1t were weaned away from the
farm-they get the town microbe.
What is the remedy? Why 1t Is
good roads, and the consolidated
township school, With these a strong
helpful social life will develop, taking
not few adjoining farms only, but
whole township and perhaps more.
The consolidated central school en-
ables the youth to get the equivalent
Of high school education and live at
home upon the farm. Thus they are
not exposed to the temptatiOnsSt chat
always beset and which strongly ap-
peal to them; they have the influence
Of home and mother without being de-
MED good educational advantages.
The consolidated school with the .ex-
pense of taking the children to and
from It over good roads may cost
something more than half dozen red
schoolhouses on the crossroads, but
the work done is 80 much better that
there Is no comparison. The best I'm
vestment any township can make is b
put money into good roads and con-
solidated schools. Let us remember
that the very best product Of our
farms Is the boys and girls IN the
farm home.
Issue bonds for the roads and build
as many miles as possible upon the
main highways. The use Of the roads
h worth three times the interest on
the bonds.

small scale under the main drawing.
The large hole in the center allows
the heat to spread over the entire bot
