GEORGE BARNES OF THE XMAS

ING FOR sNAPPERS.

Feasttng ON turtle steaks for sew

snapper banks was the selected priv
ilege of the crew of the smack Kwas-
ind, which arrived yesterday and
which brought a total of $4,000
pounds of red snappers and a small
number of groupers. The steaks
came from 300-pound turtle which
was caught while fishing at the snap
per banks. George Barnes, member
of the Kwasind's crew, was the man
who hooked the monster of the deep.
Barnes began to pull in his line
from the many fathoms of water in
which they were then fishing, and the
hook caught some heavy object. 1t
held fast, and Barnes began to pull.
1t came slowly to the top of the water
and Immediately upon reaching the
surface, experienced fishermen at
once recognized it as a monster tur-
tie of a choice food variety. The
snapper hook had been embedded in
one of the great fappers, and held
securely. The fisherman pulled his
catch to the top of the water with
care and then gradually worked the
big turtle to the side of the shin
when the tackle was used. A rope
was passed about the great body and
then all hands pulled. eft was a job
getting him aboard, and you can bet

Meister, the cook. In this he was

The manufacturers Of dynamite make
different grades and are prepared to

pose should have.

There are two advantages In blowing

some space about the hole. This Is
very advantageous when one considers

trate the earth TO a depth Of twenty
feet. This also allows a free circula
ton OF moisture. which carries the
plant food TO the tree, so the greater
the amount OF available food for the
tree. Thus the growth Is more rapid
and the tree Is more healthy. II has
also been discovered that dynamite
not only loosens the soil, but II de-
strOys grubs. worms or other insect
life likely TO prey upon the roots OF
the tree and retard its growth.
Orchardists have also found IL bene
fetal TO blast the soil between the
trees II breaks up the soil that Is
firm by nature or has been made so
by drought or heating rains. This Is
done In September. when soil Is dry

roots opportunity for greater expan

KITCHEN KINKS
Potatoes

There is a great deal Of difference
between old potatoes and new po-
tatoes. At this time OF the year, we
are concerned with the question OF
how TO cook our old potatoes to
make them taste the best. During
the winter, potatoes have lost a
great deal Of the water that they
contain, and before peeling, you
should soak them in cold water for
awhile. Old potatoes do not have as
much taste as new potatoes, and
therefore we should think OF ways
Of combining them with other food
TO give them more taste.
To boil potatoes properly, they
should be peeled and dropped into
cold water until time 10 cook, and
then dropped into a kettle Of boil
ing water, adding salt after potatoes
have begun to boil. Rapidly boil
ing water wears of the outside OF
the potato before the middle Is

Our enemies are in the feldi We

is being discussed so vigorously,
why not get busy and start earning
the cost Of Notifications, fleets and
armies by driving out the enemies

and other crop killers whose men,
ace is greater than any foreign foe.
Berea has made a wonderful step
toward this end. She is TO be con-
graduated on her successful and
most efficient work Of fighting her
enemies. bugs and scales. Yet there
is room for more fighting. and the
call is being made for more volun-
teers. The war is on and we need
more efficient workers TO take their
pruning shears. saw and spray
pump TO the rescue Of the fruit trees
and shrubbery. There are worse
pests than "militarism." We can
easily support him, "militarism," II
we will but economic upon our pet
follyGthe bugs bill-of-fare.
Worms, scales. beetles and weevils
annually eat billion dollars worth
Of worlds products. We have not
yet learned TO fear things that we
do not properly see. n army worms
were occasionally the size Of boa
constructors and weevils the size q.
elephants, we would see them in
their true proportions. Because
their size is so insignificant, we do
not consider their numbers. Every
man in America pays as much to
these pests, as he does TO set his own
table.
The people in Berea have in the
past paid as much, but they have
declared war. They are now tired
OF the tyrannical rule and posses
sion Of the enemies.
II is not the farmers private prob
lem. He suffers directly, but passes
IL on to the city man in the form OF
higher prices. The consumer al
ways pays the bill. Purchase prices
are regulated by the yield and the
more food we can grow TO the acre
without adding TO the operating ex-
penses. the cheaper food grows.
In the Sunday School lesson last
Sunday, these words were heard.
"arise. go and do" These words
should be heard to-day and should
start movement, as it did in the
days Of Paul.
Organization is what we need.
then action. The average person
thinks the farmers troubles have
nothing to do with him, but they
do. Every time you help him, you
help yourself. Let us then as law
