SUMMER HINTS FOR

Home Gardener Should Plan to Fol low Early Harvested Crops Witt Others.

Now that radishes, lettuce, and in some sections peas, spinach and other early crops are being harvested. home gardeners should be making their by planting other crops. say special ists of the U. s. Department of Agri- culture.
 Tn planning for these pIantings. the specialists say it is well at all times, but especially this year, to concentrate efforts on the production of vegetables that have considera ble food value and
 on those which may be stored in their natural condition, dried or canned for winter use. Late Irsh potatoes is one of the important crops that can be grown on the freed ground. Navy
 beans furnish substantial food which is easily stored. and the present mar ket prices make it worth while in ec- tions where they thrive, to repant

 Other vegetables having considera ble food value from which choice may be made for late plantings include sweet

 plantings made as late as June 10 on sandy land.
 Among the less nutritious vegetables which may be planted in soil freed by early harvests are late cabbage and cu- cumbers. Winter onions. fall lettuce and fall radishes also may be planted late in the season.
 It is not essential, the specialists
 point out to wait until all radishes, heads of lettuce and other early ma planting seeds or setting plants for succeeding crops. Corn or beans, for example, may be started in spaces made in radish or lettuce rows, or be- tween the rows. The radishes or let tuce will then be harvested before the late planted crops need all the ground. Equally satisfactory results can be ot,- tained from the com mbination of other early and late vegetables.

WILL PREVENT POTATO ROT.
Early Spraying is important This
 Year, Especially.

It is extremely important to insure the potato crop this year by thorough spraying. Not only is spraying neces- sary to elirpinate leaf eating insects, but more especially the blight which causes the early and late rot of the tubers. Bordeaux made by using five pounds of copper sulphate. five pounds of caustic lime and 50 gallons of water to prevent blight, and an addi- tional of four pounds Of arsenal te Of lead to eliminate the leaf eating in sects should be frequently applied. Bordeaux lead. which contains not only the Bordeaux materials. but the arsenate of lead also is as economical as any material that is available this season. There are other prepa tions in the market that can be used effec- lively
 Where comparatively large areas are grown either on individ-s1l farms or in community a good spray barrel with proper attachments should be bought At least 50 gallons of water will be needed for the first applica- ton per acre. IS the vines get larger. from 75 to % gallons will be required The pOtatoe sS1ould be sprayed at least four or five :imes during the season. This matter Is of such i'm portance that all farmers should not fail to take the precautionary steps.

pose fowls the second year except q. few selected for breeding.
 The longer the bird is kept the gres ter is the increase in profit of the Leghorn over the general purpose fowls. There will be instances where breeders of general purpose fowls can show a larger margin of profit over the cost of feed both in meat and eggs. but the government experiment was taken under average conditions with groups of hens of many breeds. including more than 800. It is safe to say that it is a fair experiment upon which to base judgment on the com parative value of the various breeds
 The fact remains. however. that the pleasure of the poultry keeper is more i'm portant than the breed, and many men can get better results from gen. ersI purpose fowls than Leghorns be- cause they naturally like them.

CONN EcTICUT MILK
 AND BUTTER SCORING.
Result of Last Contest Held at State
 College.

A regular quarterly milk and butter scoring was held at the Connecticut Agricultural college, Storrs. May 24, 1917. The results have just been tabu- lated. There were 10 entries of milk of butter and of cream. Those having a score of S5 or above an milk and wishing name published are as follows:
 Score Greenwav Farm. So Manchester ss. P. W. Pitkin, So. Manchester. 94.s Mrs. Geo. W. Seward, Guilford. 94.2 Foster Farm. Mapping .,...... sS.s J. l.. Rice, Beacon Falls . ss.3
 Those scoring above 90 on butter were as follows:
 c. H. Schnen. No. Coventry ~ A J. L. Rice. Beacon Falls ... 90.75
 The second year of the milk and but ter scoring work was completed with this scoring. Mrs. George W. Seward G1iilford, Conn, receives diploma on milk for entering at all four scorings and receiving an average score of 92 g.
 The quality of the milk at this SCOT ing was very good indeed. As it hap pened there were but two samples that had more than 1000 bacteria per C. C. and both of these samples were pro- duced with a milking machine. This the machine, but simply shows the necessity of properly caring for and proper use of the machine.
 Of the 10 sam ples. tested below the SLaLe St3nOard or S.5 per cent solids not fat and yet the average fat con tent of these samples was close to per cent. This seems to be due to the season of the year at all of the SCOT ings held during tn summr months the solids not fat test has been lower than during the winter months. This is borne out by a large number of oth CT tests made on milk at the college this spring. In other words, it is entirely possible for milk to be up to the stan I1y y-I S,f % fS below the solid not fat standard of S5 per cent. during the spring and sum- mer months.
 The next scoring will be held in August. Those not on our mailing list that wish information con corning this work should address Dept Milk and Butter Scoring, Storrs, Conn.

Recruiting stunts will no longer be
used to raise the regular army to war
strength. The more than 1900 men
still needed are to be obtained through
regular conscription. Word to this
effect was received yesterday at re-
cruiting headquarters at $50 Broad
way Unless volunteers appear in
sufficient number before draft notices
are sent out, the first of the con-
scripted regiments will go to fill up
the ranks of the regulars.
The last examination for civilians
seeking commissions in the Marine
Corps was held at the navy yard yes
terday, under the direction of Colonel
L. II. Moses. In the future all COM
missions will be given to men in the
ranks. One recruit accepted during
the day was William J. Longuet, a
policeman, VINO is thirty-nine years old,
older than the limit prescribed. but
who was admitted because of his ex-
cellent physical condition.
Only 1l2 recruits for the army were
enrolled yesterday. 10 of whom were

Protection to Blacks Re-
turning to Jobs

East st. Louis, H., July 5.-The in
terruption to the industrial life of this
city and to the commercial life of st
Louis, as a result of the exodus oil
negro labor that followed the race riots
Monday, arrested the attention of bust
ness men of the two cities to-day.
The Chamber of Commerce of East
st. Louis adopted a resolution urging
the negro workmen who fled from East
st. Louis to return and promising them
protection of life and property.
At the same time Traffic Commits
sioner Coyle, of the st. Louis Chamber
Of Commerce, took up with railway and
terminal officials the interruption TO
freight movement that has resulted
from the exodus Of negroes employed
in the freight and switching yards. Mr..
Coyle said that if normal traffic could
not be restored by the railroads an
appeal would be made to the Federal
government on the basis of Federal
control over interstate commerce.
Most of the st. Louis railroads have
their freight terminals in East st.
Louis, and anything that interferes
with labor in the railroad yards of
East st. Louis affects st. Louis com
merce directly.
About 1900 Illinois Guardsmen now
are on duty here.

cestions that saloons in the vicinity Of

be closed early, Colonel j. VI. Carson,
of the Quartermasters Corps, wrote 70
the Mayor yesterday. He threatened TO
invoke the Federal statute and put the
saloons in the vicinity of the army sta
ton out of business completely if sug-
gcstions were ignored.
After receiving Colonel Carson's let
ter Mayor Griffin said that he had
called a meeting of the saloon men for
next Wednesday. 1t was learned that
the City Clerk had sent out notices of
the meeting only yesterday.
ain the mean time" Mayor Griffin
was asked, do you intend to close the
saloons esrly?"
Certainly mott" was his emphatic
reply.
Four blocks and sixty-one saloons
are included in the area referred to by
the army officers. II is bounded by
Fourth, River, Newark and Hudson
Streets. The suggestion made was that
all of the sixty-one saloons be closed
al 10 p. m.
Colonel Carson pointed out that the
boisterous and somewhat disorderly at
mosphere attendant upon so many
saloons was not conducive to effective
work at the army depot.
