wOR PERSONS who like novelty in
their food and in their gardens,
an interesting field for experiment

their f0od ana IN their saIuenS'
an interesting field for experiment
is offered by the new Japanese vege'
table, udo. Nurserymen have grown the
udo for ornamental purposes, for twenty
years or more, but as vegetable it is
still comparatively unknown. On rich
soil 1t grows to height of 10 feet or
more, producing very ornamental mass
of large green leaves and, in the late
summer, long loose flower lusters, some.
times three feet in length. In appear
ance it is much like larger variety Of
the spikenard or petty morel, a native
of our woodlands.
The blanched shoots Of the udo have
q characteristic flavor. Properly pre-
pared they are delicious. The plant re-
ouires little care and with the same
space devoted to it, yields approximate
" the same amount Of food for the
table as asparagus and is ready for use
at about the same time in the spring
After the first frost it dies down each
autumn to come up again in the spring,
much as asparagus and rhubarb do. A
patch Of it can be forced each spring
for ss least six years and probably much
longer. The flowers attract bees and
flies in such numbers that field Of
it is usually humming with insects. Al
a honey plant, therefore, the udo de-
serves the attention Of beekeepers.
Udo-growing is not yet sufficiently
general in this country for the mos
inexpensive methods Of cultivating tt
have been worked out, and conditions il
America are SO different from those IL
japan that little benefit can be derived
from the experience Of Oriental grow
ers. 1t is, however, reasonable to as
sumo that the cultivation of the ud'
presents few difficulties. 1t is adaptet
to a wide range Of climate, as is show1
by the fact that it grows all over Japan
but no part Of Japan suffers from
drought. In this country the udo ha
done best in moist regions, in particu
lar in New England, the Atlantic State

Poor Handling OfWool Injuries Crop
Investigation Indicates From 10 to 20 Per Cent Of Value Lost
Annually by Neglect Of Simple Measures.

1t is pointed out also that although,
on the face of them, these returns do
not seem SO unsatisfactory, the value of
woods produced in given locality is
set by the general reputation already
established. Buyers will not alter their
prices for small individual clips, though
they may be better handled than the
average, and in consequence those who
10 not put up their wool properly are
made to suffer for the sins Of their
neighbors.
Bar Poor Handled Wool.
Buying concerns can and may, how
ever, allow their representatives more
latitude in discriminating between in.
dividual clips. But even should they
do 30, prices could be altered only foz
clips of sufficient size to yield around
10000 pounds Of each grade contained.
Fifty-nine cases were reported in
which dockage for tags was made upon
the whole clip, although the tags had
been separately sacked.
The remedy, the Investigators declare
is to raise the reputation of locality
by an agreement among the grower
not to permit any poorly handled WOO
to leave the community.
1t can not be said that the grower
who follow the practices advocated b,
the market at present receive much
if any, compensation for so doing. A
in other lines, it rests with such pro
gressive individuals to bring their com
munities up to common standard tina

sons unpleasant, taste Of pine. 1t is,
however, easy to eliminate this by soak
ing thin slices Of the stems in ice-cold
water for an hour or two, or by boiling
them in two or three waters, as is often
done with strong-flavored vegetables.
The author Of the Bulletin, who has
been experimenting for eight years with
udo on his Maryland farm, suggests the
three following recipes as samples Of
what can be done with the vegetable:
Udo on Toast.
Peal the shoots and drop them into
cold water. Cut them into 4-inch
lengths. Boil them in salt water for IL
minutes, then change the water, adding
a fresh quantity of salted water and
boiling until quite soft. Prepare white
sauce, such as is used for cauliflowe1
or asparagus, put the udo in it, and
allow it to simmer until thoroughly soft
Serve on toast in the usual way. Il
there is too much Of the pine flavor, al
there may be if the shoots are mo-
thoroughly blanched, a second chang
of water will remedy this.

PRELIMINARY report Of the in

r PRELIMINARY report Of the in
T. vestigation into the methods OF
marketing American wool, now be-
ing conducted by the Department OF
Agriculture, indicates that from 10 to
20 per cent Of the value Of the crop is
lost annually through the neglect OF
a few simple measures. Under existing
conditions, when American and Austria
lian wools lie side by side in the ware
house, the poor handling Of American
wools is so noticeable that the price is
inevitably affected. This handicap
would be removed to great extent II
all growers would agree to do four
things:
Sack eve, lamb and buck feeces in
separate sacks.
Shear black sheep separately and
keep the fleeces separate.
Tie the fleeces with paper twine,
which does not adhere to the wool.
Remove the tags or dung locks and

SsS Growers Report.
Figures prepared by the bureau Of
statistics and based on reports from
1888 growers who sheared in 1918
total Of 2,269, ,oO5 sheep, show that al
the present time about half Of the
flock owners sack eve, lamb and bucH
wool separately, about 60 per cent sep
arate the black fleeces and tie witt
paper twine, and less than one-half pu
tags in separate sacks. 1t is pointe'
out. however, that the correspondent
who took the trouble to answer the IN
ouiries of the Investigators and from
whose replies these statistics are com
piled, presumably represent the NOR
progressive element in the industry, AM
that il it were possible to obtain tn

New Vegetable From Japan Is lido

in March or April-one-fourth Of an
inch deep in soil that consists of equal
parts of loan, mold and sand. As soon
as the plants are or inches high,
they can be planted out in the ground
or potted and set out later. Thereafter
the udo needs little attention. Its roots
spread with extraordinary rapidity
through loose, rich solitude is not rec
commended for poor, dry land--and the
crowns soon become at least foot
across. Three and half or four feet
is therefore not too great distance to
allow between plants.
Perhaps the greatest difficulty con.
nected with the cultivation Of the udo
is the blanching of the shoots. 1t is
these that are regarded as the real
delicacy, for the flavor Of the stems
when green has certain rankness
which is unpleasant to most palates.
Various methods of blanching the early
shoots have therefore been experimental
with. In California excellent results
have been obtained by mounding up the
earth in the early spring over each
plant much as is done with asparagus.
Elsewhere, however, the late frosts
make the soil too cold and the shoots
are slow in coming through.
Another method is to put large
drain tile, with one end closed, over
each hill before the spring growth
starts. The shoots which come up in
side the tile are well blanched but they
show tendency to produce number
, of unopened leafstalks which take away
, from the robust growth of the shoots
To obviate this, casks or boxes filled

sifted coal ashes have been tried will

Colfax Gets Ample Water.

Artesian water has been struck at
Glenwood Spring, six miles northeast
Of Colfax, On property which is leased
by the city for 99-year term. The
opinion prevails that the water prob
lem has been solved for all time. The
artesian vein was tapped at depth of
few inches less than 80 feet and the
flow measures about 40 gallons per
minute of cool, pure water. A pipe
line is laid to Glenwood to tap the
springs which recently became insult
ficient to serve the increasing popu
lation, and through this the artesian
water will be pumped to the reservoir.

telling each other that the luncheon
and business session held Friday az
ternoon at the Hotel Ansley was one
Of the most profitable and encour-
aging ever given by the Atlanta Real
Estate Board.
Following the luncheon, at which
nearly fifty were present. President
Harris G. White called the business
meeting to order, introducing Walter
Dunson, loan expert of Dunson d
Gay, who reported that more loans
have been accepted by the big in
surance companies and other loan
firms within the last 80 days than
during the preceding several months
an dthat more people now are offering
money to borrowers than in the last
six months.
Eugene s. Kelly, Of the Charles p.
Glover Realty Company, explained the
Income tax as it affects land owners
and agents, stating that tenants pay
ing more than $4,000 a year IN rent
were obliged to withhold the land
lords income tax and pay the revenue
collector, and that corporations hold
ing stock in other corporations would
be double taxed.
Forrest Adair told the realty men
something of the magnitude of ths
coming Shrine meeting. He stated
that the parade would extend from
Alabama street to BroolSwood and
that there would be trouble in map
ping the course of the parade to keep
it from running over itself. Mr..
Adair also touched on the annual
raise in realty assessments, declaring
that they were becoming SO burden
some as to injure the city, rather
than aid 1t.

FARM DYNAMITE
TEST SUCCESSFUL

George E. Wilkes, one OF the best
known dynamiting experts in the
country left Atlanta Saturday after
q tour of Southern cities predicting
wonderful progress for Georgia farm
ers as a result of the introduction Of
dynamite in subsoiling.
Mr.. Wilkes, who represented the
DUPONT Powder Company, but will
shortly take up Independent work,
gave a convincing demonstration of
the effectiveness Of dynamite as first
aid to the farmer at Colonel Willis
E. Ragan's farm. He has made SINH
lar demonstrations in many cities and
is confident that Georgia farmers soon
will awaken to the enormous POSI-
bilities Of the experiment..
The process is so simple and logi-
cal that one grasps the idea instantly
said Mr.. Wilkes. In the demonstra =
ton of Colonel Ragan's place near
Decatur, stumps were blown out OF
the ground. In f.w seconds, an acre
was SUBSIDIZED to depth of four feet
by placing holes fifteen feet apart
each way and half a stick of 20 per
cent dyna mite exploded in each hole.
A dltcn was Dldsteu Instantly DON'-
ders were thrown out OF the ground
and broken to pieces
The manner in which Mr.. wilkes
handled the dynamite proved it is not
an extremely dangerous proposition.
1T has been proven that land SUD
soiled with dynamite here in Georgia
has produced an increase of 200 per
cent in crops" said the expert.
Mr.. Wilkes left Saturday for Ashe-
willie. \. c. where he will see his

The Man Who Eats Well
And Enjoys Food, Lives Life as He
Should and Gets the Most From 1t.

The man who eats is the man who
works, and the man who works is the
man who wins. Tireless workers de-
pend upon a storehouse of vim and
vigor India is noted for its fasters and
their eaters and their workers.
In America we have been doing moth
ing but work this past quarter of a cen
tury. That is why our old men say, In
my days no one had dyspepsia. OF
course, all men in those days ate and
worked. now they work and eat.
If eating interferes with business, men
give up eating This is good logic for
the dollar getter, but poor wisdom for
the man who really wants to live
in punishment. and man is a pigmy
when Ii comes to cheating his system.
If you take from the system that
which is intended should remain. or put
into it that which is intended should be
kept out. You are cheating yourself,
and sooner or later pay the penalty
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are con-
centrated vegetable and fruit essences
which give the system every fluid, slim
ulant and ingredient necessary TO gain
which goes into the stomach, or to keep
from the system everything which
should not lay and decay in it.
If you will eat fast and improperly.
and to excess. then give to Nature as
you do so enough of the essences ashe
demands to neutralize the bad effects OF
your habits.
After a meal take stuarts Dyspep-
STA Tablet and the meal won't hurt you
or your stomach.
At a midnight dinner take a Stuart s
tablet and you will sleep well and get
up without a breath which is filed with
the decay of the midnight meal.
