Great Crops and Labor SHORTAGE
Expected This Fall.

Convicts from the state peni-
tertiary may be used to harvest
the large crops that will be sown
in Wyoming this year, if plans
now being formulated by Acting
Governor Houx for harvest work
materialize.
Realizing the urgent need of
planting every acre that can be
TILED, a state wide campaign is on
to increase the, yield of all kinds
of food supplies. If selective con-
scription becomes necessary, as it
probably will, according to the
governor, the young men who
would ordinarily harvest the grain
crop of the country would he in
the ranks, training for battle.
In line with his plan to bring
about increased acreage of all
crops in this state, the governor is

Wintering Ewes.

Sheep can be successfully wintered
with a smaller use of grain than is
needed for other live stock. If in
good condition at the beginning Of
winter and given the right kind of
hay they can be carried through the
winter without grain unless the lambs
are to be dropped before going to
pasture. All depends upon the kind
Of hay or other roughage used.
Legume hays stand at the fore
front as a roughage for sheep. No
other roughages approach them in
feeding values. The coarse-stemmed
hays like timothy, red top and blue
grass have very few leaves and there
fore are poor sheep feeds. Hays hay-
ing a large amount OF timothy in
them also are undesirable. Not on

sheep, but it causes serious cases Of

Save Good Yearling Hens.

Among farmers generally il is the
common practice to sell the hens that
are past a year old for poultry whca
they stop laying in the fall. Under
1.-The usual conditions this is good pol
icy. for as rule only about half
nj the flock lay well enough the sec
Jnd year to be profitable, and the
farmer who has pullets enough to re-
rlace all his old hens sees no adj
vantage in keeping any of them ov-
or.
This year, however, those patriot
ic farmers who desire to do their
Fart to increase the poultry and egg
supplies will find it desirable to re-
tain considerable proportion of the
yoarling hens. Farmers in the corn
belt especially will find it to their in
terest to hold all the good yearlinE
mems they have, making such addi-
ton TO their poultry house equipment
as may be necessary to properly &C
:ommodate both pullets and hens.
.Overcrowding must be avoided, as
neither pullets nor hens will do their

Selecting Hens To Keep.
In selecting hens to keep over,
preference should be given to those
.hat mott i'm september or later, for
they areas a rUle--the most per-
sistent layers. Such hens may not
be at this time the best looking n
tho flock. They are likely to be
rough in plumage with somewhat
shriveled combs and pale cOlored
legs. These things, however, are
merely incidental to the non-laying
melting period.
Hens that appear in prime condi-
ton at this time are those that mott
ed in the summer because they stop
ped laying early. The exceptions
which il may be desirable to retain
are hens which reared broods in ear
ly summer and molted while run
ming with the chicks.

Kentucky Crop Report As of Novcm-
Der 4, 1917.

Der {, 1917.
Issued by state Department of Az
riculture, Frankfort, Ky.
A summary of the final estimates
on production this year and prelim-
;nary estimates on acreage for next
wear on important products are given
below:
Wheat sowing has been delayed
on account of the late maturing cora
and scarcity of labor. Some locaii-
ties report 30 per cent of wheat not
vet sown. That sown early has not
sprouted well, and condition Ct
same is given at Sc per cent; while
the acreage as state average
is given at 1923 per cent,
which shows an increase over
the area sown last year of 1913
per cent. The acreage of rye is Civ
EN- at 95 per cent, which is an in
crease over last years estimate; the
condition of same is 80 per cent. Bar
lev acreage is So per cent, and con-
dition SO per cent.
The estimate on Burley tobacco
shows a yield of S9l lbs. per acre as
compared with S57 lbs. in 1915; and
dark tobaccos yield is estimated Mt
$40 lbs. per acre as compared with
S27 lbs. in 1916.
Corn is late in maturing. Much
of it is reported damaged by early
frost. The estimate on yield of
same is 80 bushels per acre as COM
pared with 2S bushels yield in 1915.
1t is early to give the yield of
hemp. but the preliminary estimate
is given at 991 lbs. per acre as COM
pared with 994 lbs. last year. In
some localities it is expected to break
out, very light.
The acreage of the potato crop
was unusually large this year, and
the average yield per acre is given at
90 bushels; sweet potatoes at SO
bushels. 1t is reported that labor IS
so scarce that in many communities
potato digging is being done by |
women in order that the farmers may |
get the fall seeding done.
Cane has also been damaged by |
frost
All classes of i've lstock are in fair
Iy good condition. and the number
on hand as compared with an aver
age year. shows as follows:
Horses 90 per cent; condition
shows at "a per cent.
Cattle 80 per cent; condition shows |
at SO per cent.
Hogs "a per cent; condition shows
at "a per cent.
Sheep Sc per cent; condition
shows at 95 per cent.
Pastures are short and show con-
dition Of 81 per cent. More vegeta- I.
b!es were raised this year than ever
reported before.
Taken as whole the reports
would indicate that this years crops
have been good, with both increased
acreage and, in most instances, an
increased yield. However, condi-
tions for fall sowing of small grains
are unfavorable Prices for every
thing are ranging high, but with an
increased cost of production and scar
city OF labor it becomes necessary for
the farmer to get an increased price
for his products in order to compen-
safe him for the money and effort
expended. Respectfully,

EDIBLE FRUITS or
THE FOREST TREES

Washington, Nov. lit is sail
hat Daniel Boone and some Of our
other early pioneers could go into
the wilderness with only rifle and .
sack of salt and live in comfort o.
the game and other wild food which
he woods afforded. While few peC-
pie want TO try that sort of thing
nowadays, persons who know the
food value of the fruits of our ma
tive trees and shrubs are, according
to foresters, able 10 use them to good
advantage in experimenting other
fods.
Aside from the numerous edible
mushrooms, roots, fruits of shrubs
and smalled plants, the trees Of our
forests afford a large variety of edj-
bles which are highly priced by
woods connoisseurs. First in i'm
pOrtance, of course, are our native
nuts-beech nuts, butternuts, wal
nuts, chestnuts and chinGuapins,
hazel nuts, and several kinds of hick-
DRY nuts, including pecans. The
kernels of all of these are not only
toothsOme but highly nutritious and
are used by vegetarians to replace
meat. The oil of the beech nut is
said to be little inferior to olive oil,
while that of butternuts and walnuis
was used by some of the Indians for
various purposes. The Indians, i
is said, also mixed chestnuts with
cOrnmeal and made a bread which
was baked in corn husks, like to-
males. In parts of Europe bread Is
made from chestnuts alone. The
chestnut crop in this country is be-
ing reduced each year by the chest
nut-blight disease which in some
sections is gradually killing out the
tree.
Acorns are commonly thought 10
be fit only for feeding hogs, but many
kinds of them can be made edible
and nourishing for people as well.
The Indian custom was to pound or
grind the acorns up and leach out the
tg@...a, which makes most OF them
unfit for eating when raw, by treat
irT the pulp with hot water. The
resulting flour, which contained con-
sldera bio starch. was made either in
to porridge or baked in small
cakes OF bread. As a rule, the
acOrns of tho various white oaks
having less tannin are the ones best
suited for food, but Indians also US
ed those of the black oaks, even
though they contain much tannin.
The acorns of the basket or COW oak.
the chinquapin oak, shin or Rocky
Mountain oak, live oak, and of sever
al other species, are sweet enough
TO be eaten raw.
Another nut which is not suited for
eating raw, but from which a pala-
tciie fOd is said TO have been pre-
pared by the Indians is the buckeye.
| The kernels of these nuts were dried,
powdered, and freed OF the poison
Iyiilh they contain when raw by FL
.tr''ion. The resulting paste was
nor eaten cold or baked.
