One million three hundred and fve
thousand tons of hay valued at S7.-

eleven Southern States. The South
produces only four-ifths Of the hay II
Lespedeza makes good hay in the
lower Mississippi Valley: johnson
grass over most Of the cotton belt
bermuda grass on rich bottom lands
orchard grass, alsike and tall oat grass
on heavy uplands. Sudan grass is also
showing much progress, so h South
should produce all It's own hay.
Johnson grass has a bad reputation
as a weed and It's character should be
thoroughly studied before planting.
Seventeen year locusts r expected
to appear again this year In the
northern and central States lying be-
tween the Hudson and Mississippi
rivers. extending along the Appala-
chan plateau into northern Georgia
and South Carolina. This particular
brood made ~ last appearance in rhis
territory In 1895.
The most reliable means Of protect
ing nurseries and young orchards Is By
collecting tho insects In bags or UNI
brcllas from the trees In early morning
or late evening. when they are some

commonly result from the indiscrim-

The worst affected branches should
be removed. The less injured limbs

with grating wax or moderately hard
soap. These protective coverings
should be renewed at least ono a year.

CANNING FRUITS AND VEGT.

A Brooklyn reader states that Oh,

stems. then placing them uncooked II
preserving bottles and nIling with colt
water. screw1ng down the tops to com
plete the operation. Tho rhuharo Il
cooked a. wanted during tho white,
season. Tho success Of this operation
led TO trying rcd raspberries in abou'
tho same manner. which w also sue

Tho berries were packed in tho jar.
and O syrup made Of sugar and water
poured in hot until the jar was full.
Tho cold pack method Of canning 4,
tho simplest. An fruits and vegetables
can be preserved by this method. The
fruit to be canned 10 prepared. by
washing. peeling or piting II this IL
required, and placed directly In the
cans in tho raw state. Vegetables
should frst DO dipped In scaldins water
and then placed in tho jarS. When
tho Jap are packed, syrup, brine or
hot water 10 added to completely Nil
the jar. the rubbers and tops put on
and the whole stertlized.
For Fertliztng . wash boiler
answers tho purpose. but any rscep-
tacle will answer that will hold sum-
cient water to entirely cover tho fruit
Jars. A false bottom must DO used to
keep tho Jars of of tho bottom. thus
preventing breakage and Al the same
time allowing the boiling water to cir
culate entirely around tho Jars. Tho
water should be boiling before the Jars
are put in.
The skins Of tomatoes. peaches, Co.
are removed by dipping them In boil
ing water for q moment and then
quickly plung!ng in cold water. This
loosens the skins SO they are quickly
peeled with a small kitchen knife,
Vegetables OF a more solid nature are
scalded for a few minutes in the boil
ing water.
Berries. peaches and other fruit are
packed in the Jars. which are then
filled with a hot syrup made OF sugar
and water. Tomatoes should com
pletely AL the Jars so that there will
be no room for water.
When the Jars are flled the rubbers
are applied and the screw tops placed
in position n turned until the thread
OF the Jar II caught, loosely holding
the tops in place, After the Jars come
out OF the boiler. tighten the tops
and invert the Jars to cool and seal.
Soft fruits should be allowed TO re-
main In the boiler for sixteen minutes.
Hard fruit, such as pears. apples, &C.
should remain in the boiler for twenty
minutes, Tomatoes require twenty

MANY CHILDREN MAKE GAR.
DENS IN WESTCHESTER co.

At tho present rate Of progress
Westchester county soon will be q
%ver!table garden OF Eden. DR.. c. d.
Jarvis. the Federal specialist IN
charge. Is now inspecting the work
In the county. Tho efforts Of the
United States Bureau Of Education,
in cooperation with the International
Child Welfare League. Inc, 10 do
monstrate the possibilities OF home
gardening are meeting with a ready
response both o. the part Of school
officials and OF the children themselves.
Although some of the towns have
not yet been heard from says DR..
Jarvis. "the present reports show that
1871 school children Of tho county
have home gardens and 1901 other
children have plots either at school
or on nearby vacant land"
DR.. Jarvis believes hat in the past
the child's ability has been greatly
underestimnted. I'VE now find" he
says. that the boys and girls Of the
grades are able to carry on much
larger garden projects than We have
formerly believed We find also that
by giving the boy q mans Job and
by putting the work on a business
basis there is no trouble In maintain
Ing interest.
I'm many cases tho children have
utilized every available foot OF land
in their back yards. but too often
they have spaded UP only enough
ground TO plant the few seeds that
have been given to them or that have
been purchased with a few cherished
pennies.
In some cases the size Of the ar
den enterprise Is limited as a result
OF a mistaken idea of the teacher or
parent regarding the ch!ld's ability,
but more often the number OF avail
able pennies with which TO buy seeds
Is the determining factor.
THE distribution Of seeds gratui-
tously among children is not recon-
mended, except where no other pro-
vision has been made for them to OBJ
tain seeds in sufficient quantity TO
plant ali their available ground.
Where children are required to buy
their supplies they are taught the
value of money and are given a wider
business experience. One Of the chief
objects of the work is TO cultivate In
children the quality OF self-reliance
and this must come from independent
effort.

QUEENS WANTS SUBWAY TUBES

Fighting Against Zee 81 bridge
Roadway for New Service.
Business interests of Queens borough
arc demanding that The city Of New
York construct tunnels under the East
River for the operation Of the b. r. T.
subway trains OF the Broadway-F1fty-
ninth street line and to prevent the re-
construction Of The Queensooro Bridge
for that purpose. Tho Chamber Of
Commerce Of the borough Of Queens
hes retained - IN counsel Clarence
Edwards Of Eimhurvt to conduct Its
night to save the roadway Of the bridge
n TO secure An immediate decision
from the public officials on this matter.
Al . Joint meeting Of h board Of
directors and the transit committee OF
the Queens Chamber Of Commerce held
last week resolutions were adopted urg-
ing the Board Of Estimate to come to
an immediate decision In SAvor Of She
construction Of tunnels and to hold .
soint hearing with the Public Serfoe
Commission as soon a. possible. At the
meeting there wers present represents
lives Of the biggest Industrial concerns
and real estate developing companies,
representing many millions OF dollars
of investments in all parts Of tho
borough. and they were unanimous in
their determination to secure the con-
etruction of tunnels.
Chief Engineer Craven Of the Public
Service Commission states that the re-
construction OF the bridge In place u
building tunnels would ~ time In
the operation Of trains and also would
be less expensive to tho city. Tho

pared to show that not only will the
construction of tunnels be less expen-
sive to the city but that the operation
Of trains can be secured Just a. soon,
for up to III present time the contract
has not been let for the construction
Of that section Of the Broadway sub
way from Thirty-ninth street to Fifty
seventh street. It Ia estimated that II
will take three years to complete this
section and the tunnels under the East
River can be built In that time. BY
h construction Of tunnels the full use
of the present wide vehicular roadway
will be preserved for the rapidly in
creasing traffic between Manhattan and
Queens.
Several manufacturer who contem-
plate locating in this section are now
awaiting the decision Of the city in this
matter.
The Advisory Council Of Real Estate
Interests believes the plan OF remodel
ling tho greensboro Bridge instead Of
constructing tunnels under the East
River would In but a few years prove
to be uneconomical. The plan sug-
gested by tho Public Service Commits
sion for r%emodelling the bridge would
provide inadequate facilities for traffic,
inasmuch as the present roadway
would be subdivided by subway tracks,
leaving narrow lanes ~three-quarters Of
q mile in length. With the large COM
mercial development Of Queens there
would MOOT occur q serious congestion
upon the bridge.
