DRY THEIGARDEN SURPLUS

Is the surplus from your "wa1
garden" going to waste? Europe
has been running her surplus thru
the dryer. The United States has
followed this lead, and large drying
plants have been located in several
trucking centers. You are perhaps
not in reach of one of these; but
there are several good cook stove
driers on the market, and satisfac-
tory ones may, be made at home at
as low cost as $1.25.
The principle of this drying is
the same as in curing tobacco. Hot
air circulates freely over the trays
of vegetables which are placed one
above another in q chamber (Which
may be as small as the portable
oven Of the oil stove, or rs big as
the tobacco barn itself) where the
trays of vegetables, instead of to-
bacco are placed on the tobacco
sticks. -.r
Many farms have small 'outbuild-
ings which could be converted into
dryers by using little st9vepiping.
The trays are made of light strips
of wood and galvanized wire net
ting. A thermometer is necessary
in order to regulate the tempera-
ture. For full directions for con-
structing different types of dryers
and drying fruits and vegetables,
write to the Food Administration,
Washington, D. c.
Dried vegetables can be stored
easily. shipped easily, and do not
freeze in winter. Small quantities,
too ~trifling for canning can be saw
ed by drying. Dried vegetables
are truly palatable and often better
than the canned product.
In this season of abundance, the
wise provider will store large guam
titles of dried vegetables for win
ter stews and soups. If she be
pressed for time, and sugar be
scarce, she may put up ample sup
plies Of dried fruit for, preserves
later, or to be used, after soaking
oyer night, like fresh fruit for
sauces and deserts.

WHAT MOISTURE DOES TO SOIL

Soil moisture is all the time ex~
erting solvent action, bringing
plant food into form that the
plant can use. However it does
something else fully as important
and that Is to make It possible for
germs to live. These germs work
on the insoluble plant food and
make it available. When the soil
becomes dry the solvent action OF
the water ceases and the germs
become inactive; many of them die,
Thus the two principle agencies
that make plant food available are
cut off at once. The greatest dam
age is usually done after harvest.
The soil is compact, the crop is res
moved and the rain scant. The
land should be disked as soon as
cut, in fact follow the binder with
the disc, which loosens the surface
soil and kills weeds that take large
amounts of moisture. Deep plow'
ing is one of the most effective ways
of keeping a good moisture content
in the soil. It also gives the
germs more space to work in as
they live principally in the soil
turned with the plow. Don't me-
glect the soil germs even If they are
small. There gre so many of them,
and they are working for you just
as much as your horse or your COW

Risks, they declare, were written
by their agents as late as the mid

subject, but suggested in explana-
tion that the office probably was
swamped.
Drouth insurance is a new thing
in North Dakota. The companies
writing it make an attempt to in
sure the actual Investment In crop
up to 81 the acre. and their policies
cover losses from any number of
causes. including hail and rust.
Agents, anxious for business or
misunderstanding their business. 1t
is claimed, wrote policies long after
it had become an established fact
that crops in their vicinity were al
most complete loss. The farmer,
naturally, was glad to get this pro-
lection. and It is now difficult for
the insurance companies, after ac-
cepting the farmers money and is
suing the policy to convince the
policy holder that the bargain was
one-sided and unfair.
The Bankers Insurance Co., of
Montana is most heavily hit by this
business. It wrote more than $2,-
$4,000 insurance and collected
$285,O00 In premiums. It operat-
eu in a section of the state particu-
larly hard hit by drouth. and if 1t
paid every loss claimed 1t would be
strictly up against It.
But the companies and the farm
ers are getting together, and all
they ask of the state insurance de-
partment is an understanding Of the
situation and non-interference until
grounds for action appear.
