PRESERVE EGGS
FOR WINTER USE

Nearly y the yearly egg crop Is pro-
duced I'm March, April, May and June.
More eggs are produced than than are
consumed. Egg dealers put this sur
plus into storage and sell when pro-
duction is light. IL L. Kempster, of
the Missouri college of agriculture,
suggests that the consumer do like
wise and store enuf for his own use.
Cold storage is the practical CONNER
cial way to preserve eggs, but for
home use other satisfactory methods
can be employed. 1 of the most COM
mon is the water glass" method. Wa
ter glass, or sodium silicate is a syrupy
liquid which can be purchased at drug
stores. Mix 1 gallon of this with 9
gallons of water which has been prev
iously boiled This solution should be
placed in some container such as
stone crock or jar. The eggs can then
be put in the solution and used when
desired. They should be stored in
room which is cool and in which the
air is fresh and sweet. The Jars should
be covered to keep the solution clean
and inspected occasionally to see that
evaporation has not exposed the eggs.
There should be inches of solution
over the top of the eggs. In selecting
eggs too great care cannot be exercised.
Only clean, unwashed, fresh. strong
shelled eggs should be used. Infertile
eggs are better than those from a
flock where male birds are present. If
possible the eggs should be stored the
day they are laid. If this is impossible
they should be candled and those that
show effects of heat, incubation, or
which have large air cells should be
discarded. Spring laid eggs are better
in quality and are less likely to be bad
than those produced in summer. /
gallon of water glass will make enuf
solution for so dozen eggs. Another
method of preserving eggs is to coat
them with a commercial egg preserva-
tive Such preparations close the pores
of the egg so that air and germs of
decay are excluded and evaporation is
prevented. Some patience is required
to thorOly coat the egg, but this is
repaid by the ease with which the eggs
can be handled, as they can be stored
in egg cases. The cost OF these pre-
servatives is about l cent a dozen. If
such eggs are sold they must be of
fered as preserved eggs

Some Reasons

Oklahoma residents claim that the
place has few superiors for agricul-
ture and mineral development. The
state affords more opportunity for di-
versified farming than any other in
the union with the exception of Tex
as. Oklahoma has 1000 square miles
of land underlaid with coal and few
Of it's mines more than opened. More
rivers with natural drainage capacity
than any other state save Colorado.
1t is eighth in railroad mileage, fif-
teenth in population and not yet ten
years old. capitalization considered,
Oklahoma leads all other states in the
amount of money deposited In its
banks. Oklahoma surpasses any 9TH
er state in growth. Has more miles
of good roads and less improvements
on same than any state West Of the
Mississippi River. oklahoma ia first
in watermelons, first in tonnage in
alfalfa, fifth in vegetables, with less
than one-tenth of the state trying to
cultivate garden products. Has the
most enviable climate OF ali states
save California. Population averaged,
it has the second largest church
membership. Has the best equalza-
tion of taxes, private and corporate,
in the world. The southeastern part
of the old Indian Territory, which is
now known as eastern oklahoma, has
been well named Uncle Sans garden
spot. The car will be here few

PLANT POTATO
FEELINGS AND
SAVE THE SEED

The potato crop is, in my opinion, In
danger from causes. The 1st is the
high price of seed, and the End is the
cutting off of the potash supply for
fertilizers. The bulk of the CONNER
cial potato crop is grown by special-
lists The potato patch which the av-
erage farmer plants as side line helps
a good deal and on the whole, the pres
ent outlook promises "A fairly satis-
factory area in potatoes. In some of
the greatest potato growing centers
regular formula has been adopted for
the fertilizer on which dependence is
placed, and the most important ingre-
dent in this formula is potash. The
production Of potash in this country
is possible; the kelps growing in the
sea waters Of the Pacific coast, from
away down along Mexico to Alaska,
offer the best opportunity for its Am
crican production. We are informed
that / company has put up a huge
plant near San Diego for reaping this
seaweed and is getting much potash
from it-for the munition makers! The
potato crop needs the potash; but we
are and for 2 years have been in the
war, and food supply must yield to
wars demands. The farmer cannot
produce potash. If he is to have it, it
must be furnished him by some gov
ernmental or other agency for the ma
tions good. AT present prices the seed
for an acre of potatoes costs from $40
to $40. This greatly limits planting.
There should be in every city, some
plan In force by which seed ends of
potatoes used for food, small potatoes,
and every potato unfit for food but
acceptable as seed be saved and fur
nished to people who want seed. This
sort of seed will not ordinarily make
as good a crop as good seed; but
many a frontier family has been saw
ed from a potato famine by the good
wifos planting of her peelings, her
small potatoes and her green and strong
tasting potatoes. With a favorable
season yields as good as any are some-
times made from these paintings. Here
is perhaps the most practicable way
In which the vacant lots can be used.
seed which Is too expensive to pur-
chase can be got for the collecting of
It; and a crop which is not difficult to
grow fairly we'll may be planted. l
advise that special attention be given
everywhere to the collection Of this
sort of seed potatoes to be furnished
free to those who will plant them. To
the extent to which these potato gar
dens are grown by those whose time
would not otherwise be productivity
employed the yield will be clear gain
to the food supply; and to the extent
to which this sort of seed is used in
stead of edible potatoes 1t will affect
the present food supply. BY this plan
many acres in area may be added to
the crop, since it solves after a fashion
the problem of the high price of seed.

at her home in this city on Monday
evening at o'clock. The immediate
cause of her death was heart failure.

The funeral procession was one ~
the largest ever seen in Newberry,
silent testimony to the high regard
and esteem in which the deceased

floral tributes were many and beau
tiful. One of the most touching and
impressive incidents at the burial was
the solo by Mr.. Robert West. who
was on a visit here and who deferred
his return to Columbia until after the
burial ceremony. AS the casket was
being lowered into the grave Mr.. West
sang: "Safe in the arms of Jesus"

ample of her life while not unpre-
pared for the announcement of her
death, yet the community was shock

strongest love and who, in the death
of the loving wife and mother, are
now passing under the shadows Of a
