BE SURE TURNIP RAPE SEED IS PURE.

The Weekly News Letter from Washington gives a warning to the farmers not to buy rape seed unless they know it is pure. IL states that 100000 pounds of turnip rape seed. or enough to SOW 5O.eOO acres, has been imported from Japan and Ar gentina and is being sold as winter rape. Since this turnip rape is not as desirable for forage purposes as Is winter rape, the farmers can usually afford to take precautions to avoid getting improperly labeled and impure seed. The seed of the turnip rape is smaller and has a more deeply pltted surface than that of winter rape. The government is willing to have samples of rape seed sent to them for deter imitation. and they will willing tc send samples of both varieties upon aplication to the seed laboratory a, Washington

SUMMER VEGETABLE GARDEN.
Should Be So Planned As to Furnish
 Winter Meals.

Don't forget in planning the summer vegetable garden that it should pro- duce sufficient variety and quantity to furnish the winters meals as well. All kinds of vegetables may be suc- cessfully canned by using the cold pack method, instructions for which may be had by writing to the State Agent, in charge of BoysI and Girls Clubs at Storrs, Connecticut
 After the vegetables are canned, there are so many ways in which they may be served, thereby giving variety to the diet, cutting the cost of living and improving the health of the fam fly.
 Planting should be planned so vege- tables of one kind may be had the en- tire season aisd not one planting so that they rfpen all at once and then go by.
 Peas. corn, beets, string and lima beans, greens, summer squash, in fact, many other vegetables may be had fresh for weeks and also a SUD- ply for winter use as we'll and by put ting up a few cans each day the task is not only pleasant but extremely sat isfactory.

CARE WITH SEED POTATOES.
Only by Intelligent Selection Can
 Yields be Increased.

What are you going to use for seed potatoes this spring7 Are your po- tato seeds high yielders2 Are they free from disease? Are they the best that you can get? Increased yields derived from the best seed is the profit that anyone can secure. Con- sequently. if 1t is possible to get bet ter seed, you should do so. Potato breeding experiments have shown that there Is a tremendous variance in diff ferent strains and In individual po- tetoes in the same strain. If possi- ble seed should be obtained from hill selection. You should have a seed bed to select from for coming years by starting a small area for ulis pur- pose Select 25 uniform tubers. cut them into four pieces each, keep cut tings from each tuber by themselves planting them next to each other. Al digging time keep a record of the yield from each tuber. You will be surprised to see what a difference there is. From your highest yielders you can start your seedbed the fol- lowing year. One should be careful not to allow the seed potatoes to sprout in the cellar before planting It Is far better to put potatoes in the sur In order to get a much stronger gprout

SPRAY BACK YARD TREss.
Work Can Be Done at Nominal Cost
 if Advice of League is Followed.

The principal producers of fruit in the county realize the value of spray ing and are spraying more carefully each year, many of them spraying oft ener each succeeding year. A large percentage of the trees to be found in the back and side yards of city and village people. As a rule, these trees are not properly cared for and rarely sprayed. It is hoped that all people who have such trees. currant bushes and shrubs or their lawns which are susceptible to scale will this week ap- ply lime sulphur solution. one gal Ion to eight gallons of water. unless the leaves are too far out. This ma terial ought to control a large per centage of scale trouble, also some of the fungus and other insect troubles. There are people who are making a business of spraying for people at a nominal cost.

PUT IN GRASS SEED THIS WEEK

This week Is the time when all oats and peas and grass should be put on One should be careful, however, not to overcrowd u1e grass seed by put ting in such a large amount of oats for seed purposes. One and one-half bushels of oats should be the maxi mum amount of seed to be used when seeding with grass. They should be cut for hay or grain purposes, for in such Q case they will not take the moisture from the soil and rob the grass seed. By all means lime this soil and fertilize literally, not only for the oats. but also for the grass which the oats, but also for the graz which is to grow the rest of the season. A thrifty growth obtained this fall will be very desirable in aiding prevention of winter killing. When putting in the grass seed divide 1t in half and seed both ways to eliminate having bare areas.

GREEN FOOD
GREEN FOOD
 FOR LITTLE CHICKENS. Should Be Provided on Second or
 Third Day.

For the best growth and develop ment of little chicks green food in some form is absolutely necessary. This may consist of mangels, table beets, potatoes, sprouted oats, lettuce, lawn clippings or many other things de- pending on the season and available supply. Whatever is used, feeding sEould begin on the second or third day and pains should be taken to teach the little chicks to eat, otherwise many of them may not develop the ap- petite for green food that they should All chicks should be fed sparingly os grain and kept quite hungry during the first few daysr This materially helps in teaching the chicks to eat green food. If manEsls are used theS should be cut fine and scattered a lit- tie at a time where the chicks may each have a chance to get a taste. As soon as they learn what it is the man. gels may be cut in large pieces and placed over finish nails on the walls the chicks will do the rest. The same principle applies to feeding any green fod, use only small quantities at first and take pains to teach the chicks what 1t is.
 Later in the season grass or clover runs make an ideal green food sup ply. With a double yariing system oats or rye may be sowed and the | chicks alternated from one yard to the other. With only single small yard
 
 days and keep the chicks digging for the sprouted kernels.
 A method of growing green food which is quite original and at the same time very practical was displayed only a short time ago. A brooder stove was used in an ordinary breeding | house. The floor was covered with sand about two inches deep, oats and | barley were sowed and the whole. wet | down. In short time the grain was ! growing luxuriantly. The chicks were | brooder under another stove at first and the green food was cut and thrown | in to them. Later on they were trans | ferred to the room where the grain was grwing which was virtually a | green field. The stove kept the sand in the center of the rom dry and the dampness under tine growing did not seem to have any injurious effect. II | would no doubt be better to use two | adjoining rooms, brood the chicks ir one and use the other only for 6 l range, keeping the temperature low | during the day and allowing it to TUT up during the night to keep the grair growing. This system would necessi tate the use of a double broodins equipment but for those who mus grow chickens during the winter, tn, extra expense may be warranted.

OPENING OF GILBERT
 FARM SCHOOL New School in Practical Farming Begins its Work.


 
 The trustees of the Connecticut Agricultural College announce the opening of the Gilbert School of Prac- ticaI Agriculture. Applicants must be years of age and residents of Con- necticut.
 The plan of the school is unlike that of other institutions. Nc lectures will be given and few, if any, textbooks will be used. The farm, the dairy, the poultry plant and the garden will take the place of class rooms and labora- tories. Students will be given practi- erations of the farm in all its depart ments in the latest scientific and most approved manner.
 Gilbert Farm School Is located al Georgetown, Conn. The farm, con- sisting of 250 acres was a gift of the la ate Edwin Gilbert, a wealthy manu- facturer who became interested in the promotion of agriculture and especi- ally in the development of live stock and the production of beef animals ir New England.
 Not more than ten or twelve stud ents will be received at the present time. The number whiCtr can be taught successfully in a school cS this character is limited and the number therefore, when the school is in full operation will not exceed 80 pupils. Mir. George Eaton, Jr, for six years instructor lt the farm school at Doyles. town, Pa. has been selected as prin. | ctpal. All communications regarding | the school as to admission require ments, instruction and expenses should | be addressed to The Gilbert Earn | SCIool, Georgetown, Conn.

WHAT THE BOY SCOUTS ARE DOING

capacity in which the nation may have nee dof them We know that our country needs strong. efficient men. and we have set ourselves to the task of helping the boys of America tobe- come that type of men
 That is the kind of preparedness that has been the impelling motive back of our motto Be Prepared"
 Constant insistence on this point has been made necessary by the contro- versy on the question of military pre- paredness- This agitation naturally has attracted a greatdeal of attention to our organization. and we now are being subectedj to a scrutiny more se- were than ever before in the history of the Movement People are watching | the Boy Scouts to see what attitude |, they take on this big national ques- | tion-
 This scrutiny imposes on us both a
 heavy responsibility and a splendid op- | portunity. People are watching the
 scouts both collectively and individual ly. so 1t is our duty to see to 1t that 1 as a result of this scrutiny we lose | none of the good impressions that the l Movement has made on the people of
 America
 But this responsibility is more than | outweighed by the opportunity that | comes with it. We have always con-
 tended that the Boy Scout Movement | hes in it such elements Of appeal that 1 all that is needed to have it universal | ly approved and adopted Is to have it universally understood All we have asked of the public is an investigation ] of our methods and purposes And
 now this investigation is coming un-
 sought through the general interest in
 the subject of preparedness as it ap- piles to all organizations charged with the responsibility of training boys.
