COY BEANS A VALUABLE FEED.

College Park. May lin view OF
the high prices Of feed for cattle,
Maryland farmers are becoming daily
more anxious to find substitutes that
can be grown on their own land As
a result County Demonstration Agents
find demonstrations in growing alfalfa
and soy beans very popular in counties
where any quantity Of live stock Is be-
ing grown Seed for trial fields or
acres OF soy beans can be obtained at
cost from the Maryland Agricultural
Extension Service through County
Demonstration Agents as long as the
supply reserved at the beginning of
the war lasts. Soy beans have been
thoroughly tested out at the State Ex-
pertinent Station and in demonstration
fields In nearly every county in the
State. As result Nicholas Schmitz,
formerly Of the Maryland Experiment
Station, says:
"Soy beans are well adapted to
Maryland, and, like corn, thrive best
on rich loan soils. 1t Is, however, on
soils too poor to grow corn profitably
that soy beans will bring the greatest
net profit. On such soils, when In
oculated and fortified with little in
expensive fertilizer, they will produce
nearly as much forage and seed as
when grown on rich land. They will
not grow as well as COW peas on poor,
sandy soils. but far better than cow
peas on stiff, clay soils. They will
stand poor drainage better than either
cow peas or corn.
"Soy beans mature In from 10 to $50
days, making it possible to select vari.
cites to fit any length OF growing sea-
son found in Maryland.
Time To Plant.
"soy beans may. be planted from any
time after corn planting is finished
until July 18th, depending upon vari-
ETY., location, and for the purpose
planted. For hay and seed it is best
to plant the fore part Of June. to in
sure good curing weather for the hay
and time for late varieties TO mature
seed before frost. For fall hog pas
ture, and for turning down as green
manure, they may be planted up until
July 18th u an early variety is used.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
CORN IS BEST SILAGE CROP
Provides Best Quality and Makes
Greatest YieId-Sorehum Good
on Very Dry Soils.

The first service Of silo Is to pro-
vide a means Of storing and utilizing
coarse feeds or by-prOducts that other
wise would be lost.
The department Of farm crops of the
Missouri College of Agriculture recon-
mends corn as the best crop In general
for ensilage. 1t provides the best
quality silage and in addition makes
the greatest yield in tons per acre.
Corn two parts and soy beans one part
make an excellent combination for
sllage.
On very thin soils or In excessively
dry years the grain sorghums are COM
monty better than corn in that they re-
turn larger tonnage per acre. In
general, however, corn is to be pre-.
ferred.
Crops which make a fair quality Of
forage when cured as hay should not
be used In preference to corn for fillina
silOs.

EGGS AND MEAT FOR FAMILY
Every Farmer Should Keep Enough
Chickens to Supply His Own Table
Need Little Feed.

Every farmer should keep enough
chickens to supply eggs and meat for
family use, in the opinion Of T. S.
Townsley, assistant in poultry hus-
bandry in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
"The average farm will support a
considerable number Of fowls on the
waste products" said Mr.. Townsley.
1.-THE flock is the only available supply
of fresh meat during the summer for
the average farmer, especially If he
lives any distance from town. On many
farms the proceeds from the sale OF
eggs during the laying season pay the
grocery bill.
"Chickens are easily cared for on a
farm where they have plenty of range.
Little feed need be given except dur
Ing bad weather when they cannot
rustic. They can be taken care of by
the farmer out of working hours or by
the children or old people"

Cutting Makes the Hair Grow.

According to DR.. William Allen Pus-
sey, the hair grows half an inch
month until 1t reaches its natural
length. With men the natural length is
from eight to twelve inches. With
women 1t grows anywhere from eight
cen inches to their heels.
The hair grows faster in summer
than in winter because of the greater
activity Of the skin in warm weather.
The hair also grows faster when GUT off:
The reason for this Is based qpoa the
general principle that whenever tissue
Is called upon to make up a deficit 1t
generally comes to the rescue with
added energy. II you cut off your hair
there Is the stimulus Of increased de-
mand placed upon nature to make your
hair reach Its natural length.

Briohtens CARPETS.

A suggestion for making a carpet
look like new and bringing out all the
bright colors again, at cost of Is
cents, follows: Shave one bar Of
white soap in dish and dissolve with
a gallon of hot water; to this add 10
cents worth of salts Of tartar. This
forms soft paste. When cold put a
handful Of paste on carpet and with q
scrub brush scrub this well into the
carpet; then with dull knife serape
the paste from the carpet and then
wiring cloth out of clear water and

sUcKERING TOBACCO IS BEST
Result Of Experiment Recently Con-
Quoted by Pennsylvania Station--
Practice Favored.

An experiment was made recently by
the Pennsylvania station on two plats
to demonstrate the value Of suckering
tobacco.
A difference of $50 pounds of cured
leaf per acre In favor of the suckered
plants was secured with difference In
quality In favor of suckering even
greater than the difference In yield.

moth energies from the cocoon to be-
gin laying its eggs about the little
fruit.
Each female lays on the aver
age from 40 to 80 eggs, so If only few
of these chrysalises or ALTERNATING
larvae are destroyed the number OF
eggs to be deposited will be greatly re-
duced. A large per cent of the win
tering larvae can be destroyed by
scraping all round bark from the trees,
especially In and about the crotches OF
the trees. If the scraping Is done dur
Ing the winter the larvae not killed In
the process will be destroyed by the ex-
posure and the birds.
The sooner fruit growers come to
realize that this method of fighting
this pest Is almost as important as
thorough spraying, the sooner will they
begin to grow larger per cent OF
worm-free fruit.

For Diphtheria.

A recent issue Of the indianapolis
Medical Journal contains an article
suggesting the use of fresh buttermilk
as a gargls for diphtheria, Another
method Is to use swab with butters

persons cannot gargle. A practitioner
gives his experience In nine cases
where the plain buttermilk was used
five or six times a day. He believes
that the diphtheria organisms were

INCREASE IN PRICE IF OLDS WILL BE

Buy now before the raise" says L. :. keeler of the Ferguson keeier Co. state distributors of the Oldsmobile and Mack and Saure rtrucks.
 July first the price Of the seven pas senger, eight cylinder Oldsmobile raises one hundred dollars and according to Keeler this is undoubtedly only the first of several raises which will be necessary in order to hold up the quail ity of the car. Materials have all ad- vonced from one hundred to two hun dred and fifty per cent and they are hard to procure at any price
 Cars are not only going to be high CT but they are going to be scarce as we'll" continued Keeler. The gov ernment is taxing the steel mills to their capacity and it is absolutely impossible for the manufacturers to contract in advance for materials. It is just as hard to get leather as it is steel, in fact just about everything that enters into building an automo- bile is at premium now days and conditions are rapidly growing worse
 "A few days ago the Olds Motor company cancelled an order from the Oldsmobile company of California fol eighty seven carloads of cars. This will give the public some idea of the inevitable shortage in the near future
 We are in pretty good shape con- sidering all things, however and can make immediate deliveries on the seven passenger eight.
 If the sales keep on at the same rate they have been going the last few days We will have to quote the new price as our present stock will be exhausted. We made four sales Friday and we haven't anywhere near enough cars on hand to fill the orders that are practically closed but for different reasons are hnging fire.

AUTO|STS SHOULD
 GIVE BATTERIES
 CLOSE ATTENTION

When d motor car owner starts on a look after that it is probably natural for him to forget some of the things which in the end are most important.
 MT Pafford of the Schweitzer Ma chine company, the local Willard Stor- age battery service station, calls at tention to the necessity of battery care in touring
 No doubt the most trouble with batteries in touring is caused by over heating. This may be due to Jack of water in the cells or using the starter and lights too little to offset the con- tinual charging.
 Before starting on a long trip. a car owner should have his batteries tested to see that the specific gravity is up to the proper point and then he should see that every cell is filled with pure distilled water. If the use to which the car is put is far above normal, the battery may be likened to a man who eats heartily but gets little exercise. Illness follows and if the condition continues battery apo- plexy is sure to result. An oVerfed battery heats up rapidly and if the driver does not give it sufficient exer- else to balance the feed he gives it, he should check the temperature with a dairy thermometer from time to time, particularly when making long runs on warm days or when doing great deal of continuous day driving. The temperature in the battery should not be allowed to exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit. 100 degrees is q danger point and shows necessity for imme- diate action and remedy If the bat tery is being overfed. the remedy '~ to exercise it by keeping the liPhts burning when drivin~.

When tire receives an injury eX- tending through all the plies of fabric the repair must be in the form of a section.
 Two methods are commonly used, the outside and the inside, of which the outside is the more efficient. There arr three points in a tire where strain and fleXing action are most prominent. the center line Of the tread surface and the edges of the tread above the beads. To obtain the necessary strength, plies or steps of fabric should not be ended at these points.
 First buff the inside of the tire for a distance of five inches on each side of the break. Cut through the tread four inches beyond the injury on one side and skin it back to a point the same distance from the other side Lay the tread back so that it will not interfere with the work.
