 More optimistic. more enthusiastic, more confident of the success of the Alabama State Fair than ever before, President Robert A. Brown to whom much of the credit of the splendid fairs of the past few years is due, ex- pressed himself in the above encour- aging words when he chatted a few days ago about the forthcoming exhi- bition
 President Brown has made a most satisfactory and painstaking official since his appointment to the important post which he occupies; his energy. his untiring interest, his patience and his perseverance, all have contributed largely to the successful productions each year of the fine exhibit made by the Alabama State Fair association, and at no time has he ever been moro encouraged than at the present.
 Tn the first place, we are institu- ting an innovation this year by having the fair to last just one week, in stead of 10 days. as we formerly did. This is being done by all the suc- cessful fairs throughout the country in the west-Minnesota- other states, as well as throughout the south This gives the fair association an opportunity to provide much more extensive programme than if the fair lasted 10 days, because under those conditions we formerly had to pay two weeks salary for attractions which lasted 10 days where now we save ar

oats is fed to each hen daily, and from this rule one can easily compute what size flat will be necessary to provide the total supply for the flock.
 Oats used for sprouting should be heavy and of the best grade The de- sired quantity required each day should be put in pail, covered with lukewarni water and allowed to soak over night. To prevent mold, which is often troublesome. a little formalin, about five drops to the gallon of water, should he added to the water at the :ime the oats are put to soak. In the morning the surLlus water is drained off an1 the oats put on the trays or flats about inch deep and placed in the sprouter. The oats should be sprinkled thoroughly two or three times day after they are put in the trays. About seven days are required to produce sprouts from three to four Inches long which is about the right con- dition for best results in feeding. This form of green food is the best substitute for the tender grass and weeds; 1t Is very palatable and much relished by chickens of all ages.
 Too many poultry raisers fail to take proper measures against the waste occa- stoned by vermfn. Many focks are made practically worthless by these pests. Tn next weeks article numerous methods are described for eradicating lice and mites.

ROSE-COMB WHITE ORPINGTONs

The Orpington breed has come into favor within the last few years. It was originated by the late William Cook of England. who produced both single and rosecomb varieties.
 Rosecomb whites were the first rose- comb variety produced. They boar con- siderable resemblance to the Rose Comb White Dorkings, which were used in their development. MT. Cook felt that a rosecomb variety would be desired in sections where the winters are so severe that single combs might be frozen. The single comb variety led in popularity, but the variety illustrat-

 avenue, New York.
 {, The men and women who people the waste places of the mountains from Georgia to Virginia are pure blooded Americans of pre-revolutionary de- scent. Silent, proud and sensitive, they dwell apart, as ignorant of the thoughts and ways of the outside world as the outside world Is of theirs In this vital. sincere story of the adventures of two generations of Georgia folk, the author interprets these unknown and misunderstood Americans of the mountains to their fellow countrymen.

 TABLES FOR GREEN .STUFFS
Maximum Egg Production Cannot Be Realized With out Some Form of Succu- lence-The Present Food Crisis Makes It Impera- tive to Save Wherever Possible
By CHARLES l.. oPPERMAN Poultry Husbandman, Maryland Agri- c,,rtural FsxDeriruent Station


 Poultry Husbandman, Maryland Agri-
 cultural Experiment Station
 By itself green food furnishes very little actual nourishment or heat to the fowls body. and is given largely for it's tonic effect on the system Fowls fed heavily on rich rations lack ing in green food are very apt to de- velop liver troubles and digestive dis orders. Because of its bulky nature green food also distends the intestines and thus assists the digestion of the rich ground grains. We can thus see that it's position in the ration Is an important one. Experiments have proven that maximum egg production cannot be realized unless the proper amount of green food Is supplied to tho layers.
 The necessity of the greatest possi- ble production because of the present food crisis makes 1t imperative that every home having a few square feet of yard area should make this ground productive of some form of foodstuff. In many cases a flock of a dozen hens can be kept to advantage. while in others vegetable garden will add it's quota to the much-needed food supply In the great majority of cases both forms of activity can be carried out, and there is no question but that this form of patriotism will help in win ming the war.
 The greatest argument in favor of the city and town dwe1lers becoming producers of eggs and poultry, as far as conditions will allow. is the fact that no nation in the world throws away such a colossal fortune in the

 Full grown specimens weigh for S1a to 10 pounds for males and to 8 pounds for females. They have estab- lished reputation for having tender, juicy flesh. They have white skin, legs and beak. and a full breast. Their plumage is white in all sections, which contrasts sharply with their blood red combs and wattles.

to the value received in the form of green food In cases where the family is too small to supply sufficient green food for the flock. this source of sup ply will be of great value, especially during the winter months. This form of economy. or food utilization, will do almost as much to conserve our rood supply as will the extra produc- tion of our great farms. It is true that the individual effort is not so spectacular, but the aggregate of mill lions of homes will reach such tre- mendous proportions that our most lib . eral estimate will fall far short of what can actually be accomplished
 Greens for Suburban Flock
 The problem of a winter green food supply for the suburban flock is some what different from that of the city poultry keeper. In the former case quite more fowls are kept and as a general rule more land is available for the home production of the supply, In most cases there is also a medium sized lawn. the clippings from which can be saved for the fowls. The main question here Is what to grow for the best results.
 Is nothing better or easier to produce than planted corn fodder. A few rows of later-planted corn will last until Killing frosts. The only prepara tion required in feeding it is to cut the stalks and blades in pieces from one half to an inch in length After the corn is not longer availableG late cab page supplemented with lawn clip pings can be used for the rest of The winter There Is no reason why sprout- ed oats cannot be used for the entire winter if the frxr r 4~ go to the trouble of preparing them. They are. perhaps. the one best green food for both layers and young stock. yet those already suggested are cas- fer to provide and will give splendid results. The writer uses nothing but cabbage the entire winter
 Lawn clippings are a splendid form of green food if properly handled but should be supplemented two or three times week with fresh succulence. sueh as cabbage or sprouted oats. After the grass Is cut the clippings should be raked up as soon as they are cured suf- hciently to prevent mold. After being gathered, store them in feed sacks and hang them up so that the mice cannot destroy them. Before feeding the clip pings steep them in hot water until they are tender This is done by putting the supply in pail pour on the hot water, and leave covered with a sack for two
 
 or three hours
 Sprouting Oats at Home
 Because of their availability at all seasons of the year and the ease with which they can be produced, sprouted oats are used on most of the large poul- try plants. Since the manufacture of oat sprouters in various sizes, the farm CT and suburban poultry keeper can also use this form of green food without any material outlay for the proper equipment It is possible to sprout oats without the use of special appliances, but the varia- tions of temperature in the rooms of most dwellings make the process rather ir the long run to purchase a substantial oat sprouter of the size required for the 1cck. Commercial sprouters are usually equipped with seven trays or flats. one for each day of the week. Tn practice about one square inch of the sprouted

 A war time story for mothers and sons and other folks. too, Is Grace 8. Richmonds The Whistling Mother" It is all about mother whose boy came home from college to say good- by before he went to war; the story of woman's splendid courage, of her triumphant patriotism, and of how she sent her son out to help make the world safe for democracy" with kiss
 and a smile and not single tear
 Mrs. Richmond puts her little storyT
 into the mouth of boy who has en-
 listed in the army. He tells in en-
 gazing boyish style just what hap-t pened when, having decided he must
 go, he left college, where he was in
 his junior year. and went home for
 "A hours to say good-by. His mother,
 he says, was better than womanly,
 though she was all that means, too
 she was sporting" And through all
 the trial of the visit home and the last good-by she was "a thorough sport,''As and not only held up her own head and heart and kept a dry eye and 8 smile on her face. but made 1t possible for the soldier lad to go through with it all in the same way. He was in the Z habit of calling her his "whistling mother" because she could whistle Hike a blackbird," and they had al whistling call for each other of which e the music and the words form the 4 heading of the little story and a varia- tion of 1t the tailpiece. Any boy would adore, just as this boy does, the kind of mother he tells about and there- fore 1t is a most excellent little book for all mothers of boys to read Mrs. Richmond has written a touching bit of a story and has done it with fine, restrained, simple art. Artistically, it Is the best thing she has ever done.
