IF we expect to profit by our past

our farm conditions by blowing

two to four inches deep with a disk

our best farm implements, but II is
very much abused on many of our

Gently made the statement: I am now
putting in my eighth crop without
the use of plow.' His crops show
the result
Shallow work is very favorable to
weed growth. every seed comes up and
none is placed too deep to terminate.
Shallow tillage and weed taken fields
are usually found on the same farm.
From the appearance of many Of
our fields it seems that we have for
gotten about the weeds. Regardless
of the recent rains, many of our
fields are getting too dry to pillow
well. Weeds take more moisture
than our crops Very little of our
stubble land has been disked and the
result is we have lots of weeds and
very little chance for saving our
moisture.

our soils do not lack in fertility but

Our hardest work should be to till
our land so that it can properly re-
ceive and hold this moisture
"All early blowing should be
packed Immediately. If a subsurface
packer cannot be obtained the work
can be done very satisfactorily as
follows:

the plow then run the disk harrow
over 1T with disks set straight and
harrow again after the disk. Watch
this plowed ground very closely, later,
don't let grass OF weeds get started
and be sure that crusts are not al

Wheat ground, especially, should
be prepared as outlined. it should be
plowed deep and be well packed. The

wheat between now and August 20
the better. We should be sure to
get our wheat ground prepared first
and then follow this with other fall

Fried Oysters.

Dear Miss Doom:
Please give me directions for frying
oysters. e. T.. L.
For frying oysters fine bread crumbs
are preferred to cracker crumbs be-
cause less fat is absorbed by the bread.
The oysters should be drained well
and spread on a nice linen napkin.
Lift by the hard fiat part known as
the eye. Have the crumbs nicely sea-
soned with peppsf and a little salt,
unless the oysters are salty. Now dip
tEe oyster and turn 1t in the crumbs;
then quickly into the beaten egg; back
again into the crumbs; pat between
the palms Of the hands. Place on a
platter and proceed until all are
coated. If the oysters are prepared
a few hours before frying the cover
ings will be all the better. Have the
fat deep and blue hot before immersing
The oysters. When they float to the
surface a light brown remove and
drain on manila paper.

The old Idea of using sage for dark

vogue. Our grandmothers used to have
dark, glossy hair at the age Of Is, while
our mothers have white hair before
they are 80. Our grandmothers used
to make a sage tea" and apply 1t to
their hair. The tea made their hair
soft and glossy, and gradually restored
the natural color.
One objection to Using such g. prepa'
