sENEFITs OF FALL FLOWING.

While spring plowing may be pref
erable to fall blowing in some sections
where small grain follows a TILED crop,
the benefits Of fall blowing are such
that II should be followed in far larger
measure than at present. One Of the
chief Of these is the disintegrating and
mellowing action Of the frost, rain and
snow during the winter months-a
benefit. by the way, that is too often
overlooked. A second advantage Of
fall blowing not rightly valued by
those unacquainted with the habits OF
many insect pests is that during the
fall and winter months the worst foes
OF the farm crops - the cutworms,
white grubs. wireworms. corn root
worms, corn ear worms and corn root
lice-are in the dormant or pupal
stage. and blowing the ground after
they are nicely housed against the cold
weather not only covers many Of them
so deep that they never come to light.
but exposes others so that they fall
victims to their bird enemies or die
from exposure to the cold. Moreover.
II the land is fall plowed It is possible
TO work II with the disk much earlier
the next spring. which win sprout and
kill myriads of weeds.

EGG And BUTTER
PRICES GO LOWER
Farmers Let Best Eggs Go
This Morning at 2S
Cents

That the hens OF Delaware are do
ing their full duty these warm win
ter days is evidenced by the big drop
in the price of fresh eggs in the To-
cal margets during the past TWO
weeks. The hearts of householders
were made happy today by the fact
that the price of both butter and eggs
are now down TO point where the
most modest may enjoy those neces-
stiles. The price OF eggs ranged IN
the King street market today from 20
TO 2S cents according to grades, while
butter could be purchased at prices
running from seconds, at % cents up
to 3s cents, the price asked for the
best.
STANDARD prices ruled the better
grades OF meats although the price
OF rump and chuck steaks varied
greatly as also did the prices asked
for similar grades OF meat. Spring
chickens we're offered in good guam
tity. the prices ranging from IL cents
to 10 cents per pound.

A sENsIsLE SUGGESTION.

Farm, Stock and Home makes q
suggestion IN recent issue that has
much to commend It to taxpayers
and legislators in a number OF states.
The suggestion had IN view taking
money received from the sale Of state
lands and reinvesting It in the devel-
oplng of these lands. particularly along
the line OF clearing and making ready
for tillage a certain portion Of every
tract sold and also the building Of
roads to lands opened up so as to
make them accessible TO market and
in the end when the work was done
adding the cost OF the improvements
TO the value of the land in distributed
payments and In the case Of the roads
bonding the township for a period Of
years 70 meet the last Of the improve
ments. It was pointed out that one Of
the chief advantages IN this plan would
be due to the fact that the real settler,
instead of having to borrow private
capital at s OF 10 per cent. could In the
manner outlined have the use Of state
funds at not more than 4 per cent,
while the fact that a good share Of the
tedious work Of grubbing the land
which would be done in advance would
tend to encourage settlement. Cap
tious critics may say that such plan
smacks Of paternalism or possibly so
cialism. but II is sound and sensible

results are had by using one of the

menting. The way the water acts with
soap gives a good general idea A level
spoonful OF powdered lye dissolved in
a little warm water and stirred In will
cleanse six pals Of quite hard water.
Should the water be softer a half
level tablespoonful Of lye may be tried
on the same amount of water. II after

MONEY IN PoPcoRN.

AS a general thing popcorn yields a
little more than half as many bushels
as ordinary dent corn and does not
bring quite twice as much per pound.
A farmer who lives in the popcorn
belt in the Mississippi valley. whose
yield Of popcorn for 1910 we saw re-
ported the other day. harvested an
average OF 1000 pounds per acre and
received S1.20 per hundredweight. an
average return Of S4S. II It cost him
S12 an acre TO produce II, and the crop
gave him net return Of $36 per acre.
which is very satisfactory revenue.
An advantage which growing popcorn
has over raising the common varieties
OF feld corn is that the former may be
planted triae later If necessary and
npen a compile OF weeks earlier In tie
fall. thus escaping damage from frost.
