benefited. Harrisburg will also so

Lynx Meat as Food.
Advertisement.

AS an article of diet the Canada
lynx cannot he beaten when properly
prepared, although this may be sur
prise to the vast majority of people
even in the regions where this big cat
is best known. This statement is
made in the belief that the common
lynx found in Alaska is the same ami
NAL scheduled by the natural histories
as lynx Canadensis. If any curious
person will take the headquarters of
lynx in good condition, leave it over
night in a bucket of water to which
a handful of salt and teaspOonful of
soda are added, and then roast it with
potatoes he will have a dish very sim
liar to mountain sheep, admittedly the
finest meat in the world. An onion or
two placed in the roasting pan will
help. In entertaining hypercritically
fastidious friends it's just as well to
give the dish some other name, in
which event its delicious flavor will
receive extravagant praise.

To Avoid a Double Chin.

Sleep with the head low if you would
avoid a double chin. High pillows
throw the head forward, make fold
of flesh under the chin, and cause the
muscles to relax. Battle the chin night
and morning with very cold water and
a few drops Of benzoin.
A double chin often results from the
habit Of bending the chin forward and
down to read or study, or it may come
from being near-sighted. If from habit,
learn to raise the object up so that the
eyes may be properly focused upon 1t
without bending the head forward
This will also prevent any strain upon
the eyes.

o
From the Farm Service Bureau.

In time of war the interests of the
army come first. Regular commerce
must give way to troop trains, ammu
nitions and army freight in general
At such times the wants Of people can.
not be readily supplied. Forethinking
people will. therefore, prepare against
it.
The Southern farmer Is facing this
situation. What ought he to do?
Railroads have been hauling mil
lions of dollars worth of food prod
ucts to the South each year. Recently
there have been occasional "famines"
in some of these articles because Of
the inability Of the railroads to haul
all they were offered. In fact, serious
situations have been narrowly averted.
What then might be the result of
car shortage more acute than has ever
been experienced?
How would Southern cities be fed?
Where would the Southern farmer who
raises only cotton, get food? Grave
possibilities are, therefore, confronted
They are probabilities il immediate
steps are not taken.
How can such q disaster be fore
stalled? Only by the Southern farm

ton. He can do it. 1t is his duty to
do it. 1t Is his patriotic service. In
doing this piece of work he will be
one of the most useful units in the
army Of defense.
At this time it is as important for
the Southern farmer to enlist to pro-
duce food crops as it is for the young
men of the South to enlist as soldiers.
1t will be easy to get men for the army. |
1t should be easy to get men to raise
farm crops. Let Southern farmers
rally to the call. Let them become
Home Guards by producing this sum-
mer such crops as corn, cowpeas,
sweet potatoes, beans, sorghum, pea
nuts, soy beans, velvet beans and such
garden crops as tomatoes, turnips,
cabbage, onions. Irish potatoes - by
raising hogs, poultry - by producing
eggs, milk, butter - by preserving
berries, fruits, vegetables and do
all this not only for themselves, but
produce enough to have some to SELL

what the national leaders are calling
for. This means making every lick

Emergency Crops


AS a guide in meeting the crisis
which is now confronting the South
the Farm Service Bureau suggests the
following, which of course, must be
modified to suit local conditions:
Those crops which can be used for
food for man or beast, and which can
be planted at once should be given i'm
mediate attention. The acreage OF
cotton per pillow may be maintained,
and all possible efforts should be put
forth to increase the yield. Lint will
bring good price, and seed will prove
valuable because Of their oil. On q
| 25-acre tract, in ten or eleven acres
of cotton may be given each pillow, and
it is recommended that seven or eight
acres be given to corn in which
should be planted peas, soy beans or
velvet beans. The corn can be har-
vested, and the beans or peas given
over to pasture or gathered for feed.
At least two acres should be given to
soy beans or cowpeas and sorghum for
hay. One acre for grazing; one acre
for sorghum syrup; one acre for sweet
potatoes, and one for different kinds
Of vegetables. This will give total
of rs acres, and represents only the
crops for summer planting. Winter
grains may be seeded Immediately at.
ter some of these are harvested.
Everything bearing upon large
yields should be given emphasis. The
land should be thoroughly prepared +;
the best known varieties used; the
right kind and liberal amounts of fer
tilizer applied, and thorough cultiva,
ton given.
This is of special Importance over
much of the South where the soils are
lacking in soluble plant foods. Not
less than 400 to 900 pounds of fertil-
izer should be used per acre on the
crops suggested.
On account of the car shortage and
the farmers inability to secure ample
fertilizer to put under their crops at
the time the land was being prepared.
It Is recommend that a liberal side
application of fertilizer be used on all
crops already planted. Increase of crop
yields will come with increase in guam
lily Of fertilizer used.
