FORD APPEALS TO FARMERS

To the Officers and Members of the
 aF'rmers' Educational and Cooperative
 Union of Alabama
 Realizing that this is the opportune time for the farmers to get wideawake and systematic their business that the farm CT might have a market for his farm products, and that this only can be brought about by a concert of action by organizing and cooperating. wish to appeal to you as one of your servants. I have been working in the agricultural interest and for the upbuilding of this organization for F years, and at no time have I seen prospects, brighter or better for the farmer to come into his own than now, if he will only get busy and take advantage of the opportunities that are within his reach.
 Now, Mir Farmer, there is but one chance for you to defend your interest, and that is by organization. All other lines of business have been successful through organization. One of the car discourage and Eliminate the mortgage and credit system, and we can think of no better way to do tlls than through diversification of our crops, making our home self-sustaining ana sell all the sur plus we can possibly raise Through CO., operation we can esta blish a system of distribution of this surplus that would give us a profit over and above the cost of production.
 Now, we are making efforts to estab- fish home markets in each county by having certain days which we would call market days" asking the farmer to grade whatever he has for the market and have it ready to sell on that day. This will be known as the Farmers Mar keting club, and we can rest assured. after we get these sales days established and well advertised there will be buyers present to buy any and all that the farm

Florida Tackles Tick

Florida, although tick eradication is comparatively new in that state, started August 1 with 257 dipping yats construct ed. During the month of July ss2s cattle were dipped regularly. Monroe count, where systematic eradication work is in full operation. has dipped 5S7 cattle every II days, and not tick could be found on any one of these cattle at the end of July.
 Twenty-one other counties are getting ready for systematic eradication Lake county leads these with 1i62 cattle dipped in 36 vats, Escambia county is second with 1875 cattle dipped in 34 vats and Lee and Duval are rivals for third place with over 1200 cattle dipped.
 The inspector in charge for the United States department of agriculture, which is cooperating with the Florida state live stock sanitary board, county com missioners, farmers and cattlemen, makes this report of the practical results from dipping cattle in Florida:
 Cattle that are dipped are free from ticks and show improvement in growth and flesh. They have glossy coats and are in good condition. The cattle which are dipped regularly every IA days will go into the winter strong and vigorous. and the winter death rate heretofore suf- make fewer head of cattle and fewer pounds of beef. milk and butter The more cattle and the more pounds the more cash. When cattle are dipped the tick goes out and the cash comes in

By WILLIAM HIsLoP

Those who have been long engaged in the breeding of swine know that the new born pig is the mainstay of hog production. The much needed expansion of the industry depends largely upon the number and quality of the pigs that are raised Many pigs are lost and many more are developed below their capacity because of careless treatment during their first weeks of life
 Happily, the late summer and fall far rowing sows are usually in better health and more vigorous than those that gave birth to spring filters, consequently little trouble is to be feared. The run of lush alfalfa, clover and blue grass pastures and the exercise obtained by foraging. contribute most literally to an easy par turition and a robust litter. The great est danger lies in the possibility that the SOW may smash her pigs. This misfor- tune is not entirely preyentable, but the following conditions will reduce it to minimum:
 Have the SOW in good physical condi- ton at parturition.
 Give the SOW small feed of shorts and skim milk slop for two days before parturition.
 In the farrowing pen, place a 2x4-inch scantling eight inches from the floor and six or eight inches from the wall to prevent the SOW from lying too close to the wall.
 Provide the SOW with a small amount of clean bedding.
 Be on hand during the act of pig ging" to lend assistance in case of ab- normal presentations.
 Remove the mucus from each pigs nose as soon as it is born so as to allow good breathing.
 If the SOW is feverish, restless and consequently irritable place the new born pigs in basket warmed with hot water bottle or other means until the SOW has finished farrowing when the youngsters can be placed to the teats without having been injured.
 Remove the after-birth and soiled bed- ding from the pen and bury it.
 Do not disturb the SOW by offering her feed for F hours after farrowing, but provide water to quench her thirst When F hours have elapsed give the SOW a thin slop of shorts and milk Keep her on a good sop for several days.
 As soon as the pigs are able to move

VALUE OF A SILO
By c. LARSEN

A silo will save the 39 per cent of food value of corn which is wasted in stalks and leaves, and put it into palatable form for cows and young stock
 A silo will provide for raising more feed to the acre. A larger variety of corn may be planted thickly for a yield of up to two tons more feed per acre than otherwise.
 silo will compress more feed in less space than any other form of roughage. A ton of hay occupies about 40 cubic feed, while a ton of silage needs only about an eighth as much space.
 silo will supply surculent feed for the year round. which is of special value for dairy herds Slaee is especially val- uable as hold-over feed during crop or pasture shortage.
 silo makes if possible to clear the corn ground early in the fall for putting into shape for a succeeding crop.
 silo supplies healthful feed Silage is regulator as well as a nourishing food. It is entirely probable that aside from the nutrients, the tactic acid and other fermentive products have a very desirable effect on the digestion, absorp- tion and assimilation of the food of COW.

Choosing Protein Foods

Since protein is one of the most impor- tant food elements which the body needs and in most forms is expensive, house. wives should take particular care in the selection of foods rich in protein in or der that they may provide this substance in their diet economically, say special ists of the United States department of agriculture. The principles underlying the choice of such foods are discussed in Farmers Bulletin No. S24 Foods Rich in Protein," recently published by points outs, is the only form in which the very important element nitrogen is furnished to the human body. The sub stance is absolutely necessary for the building and repair of body tissues.
 The best-known foods rich in protein include meats. fish. eggs, milk, cheese. legumes, nuts etc. The proteins of the different floods vary somewhat in char acter. It does not make much differ- ence from which materials older persons get their supply of protein though variety of kinds usually is considered de- sirable. In the case of children, however, milk is the very best source of pro tein
 HOUSEWIVES may solve the problem of furnishing the needed protein of the diet economically, says the bulletin, by learn ins how much protein is provided by the different kinds of food and then choos- ing the kinds which will furnish what the family needs for comparatively low cost and with little waste. For the as- sistance of housewives in. making such comparisons tables giving the amount of the protein in a pound of various pro- tein-rich. foods, and also the percentages of protein in the different foods are in- cluded in the bulletin.
 In discussing the relation of the pro- tein food consumed to bodily health, the bulletin points out that healthy persons should not make the mistake of assum- ing that it is necessary to measure their food as carefully as a doctor measures his medicines or even the food which he prescrfbes for an invalid. If the body is in good condition it adapts itself to the ordinary variations in it's food SUD- ply. The danger comes when, day in and day out, the body gets too much or too little food, or when the kinds pro- vided are not the most suitable While there is no need to measure exactly how much protein is obtained with every meal, if the diet as a whole is to be heaIthful and economical the person who plans it ought to know in a general way are needed and how much is contained in the different food materials, and then choose accordingly. The bulletin con tains recipes for the preparation of eco ncmical dishes rich in protein

CTS have to sell and pay the highest market price for same.
 We have not yet worked out all the mi mute details, but are working on them and intend to try it out under the aus pices of the Farmers union. As you have elected me your secretary treasurer, want to appeal to you for your hearty cooperation, and ask all loyal members of this organization to get busy, increas- ing our membership that we may build up this organization to where old Ala bama will be in the front rank in union ism
 As you know, education is one of the leading principles of our organization and if we will enlarge our local member ship it will enable us to educate our peo- pie thatsthey may be able to attend to their own business.
 As to marketing your cotton, if there ever was time that the farmer should market his cotton slowly and cautiously in order that he might get the best price possible, it is now The world needs more cotton thans will be produced this year. Now, don't become alarmed when the market declines, but hold your cot ton off the market when the price is go- ing down. Thirty and thirty-tve cents IS not an exorbitant price of cotton com pared with the price of everything else.
 Now, don't say that you have to sell because you can make arrangements for money enough to satisfy your debtors by putting your cotton in the warehouse and putting the receipts up as collateral in the banks. So let this we one of the times that we cooperate in selling our cotton as well as our other farm prod ucts.

FOR WINTER USE
Dy U. s. WORK

Cans are costly, time is short and garden stuff is abundant--but perishable Then why not bottle tomato paste instead of canning all your crop of tomat toes? Tomato paste is a concentrated form available for use in soups, sauces and in combination with beans, macaroni and spaghetti. The advantage of this con- centrated form when jars are scarce is clear-any odd bottles can be used for the paste. corked and sealed with sealing wax.
 To make it, use one quart of thick strained tomato pulp, one slice of onion, four tablespoons of chopped sweet red pepper pulp or one teaspoonful, of pap rika. one-half teaspoon of salt, one tea spoon of sugar. one tablespoon of mixed spices. Cook spices tied In a bag with the tomato pulp in a pan over boiling water for about three hours or until the paste is thick enough to hold the shape of a spoon when tested by dipping out spoonful. Bottle hot in freshly scala ed bottles. cork and seal. The sealing can be easily managed if the cork is forced down below the edge of the neck and the top sealed over with sealing wax or paraffin.

BROOD SOW AND HER LITTER

about all should be placed OH pasture, for it is indispensable to economical growth. If SCOUTS appear among the pigs reduce the sow's feed, give her a dose of epson salts and each pig a teaspoonfui of castor oil. If thumps develop the remedy consists in reducing the sows feed and compelling the pigs to take plenty of exercise. The pigs should be Induced to eat as quickly as possible This can be done by feeding the SOW in low, flat trough into which the pigs will soon learn to go. This accomplished, provide separate trough inclosed with in a creep so as to exclude the SOW and give the pigs a feed of shorts and ground oats mixed with skim milk. Keep all the troughs clean and so prevent the pigs from swallowing filth and germs which cause digestive disorders.
 The care during pighood determines the kind of hog that will be produced in the end. The milk fat must never be lost nor the pigs capacity to consume and assimilate food. weakened. Always use judgment in feeding and thereby pre- vent the pigs from acquiring the habit of getting .'off feed.'' Plan to feed so as to grow strong bone and muscle and to that end use an abundance of bone and muscle producing feeds. Insist upon plenty of exercise, but provide shade. Remember that badly raised pig never goes into the pork barrel showing a profit, whereas a well raised pig will amply repay for the time, feed and labor invested.

LABELED SEED

Buy labeled seed. is a suggestion of the United States department of agriculture. In the case of field and forage crop seeds, including cereals, corn, cowpeas and soy beans. the label securely placed on the sack or container should convey the following information: a Name of scotsman, (2) kind of seed, (3) propor- ton of pure live seed present with month and year of germination test, () country or locality of origin in the case of the following imported seeds: Beans. soy beans. Turkestan alfalfa and red clover from southern Europe and Chill.
 Following conferences with the depart ment of agriculture, the Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers association and the Amer ican Seed Trade association at their con- ventions this summer approved furnish ing the above information with all lots of field seeds of 10 pounds or over. Later 77 seedsmen, including most of the larger dealers, have individually agreed to adopt this plan Under this agreement the seed trade voluntarily agrees to fur nish the information stated above with all field seeds they sell including those sold in interstate commerce and in the q states having no laws regulating such sale Seed so labeled may always be seeded at the proper rate to give good stand under normal conditions.
