To reach it we drove out the Avenue

beeches, there was always the dream

sunlight filtered through the boughs far
overhead, touching to a vivid green the
tiny branches, delicate as ferns that
sprouted from the massive green-gray
boles and it dappled the thick bed of
leaves and mould and MOSES that lay
at their base. We emerged then by the
old Chaussee de BruXelles at Quartre-
Bras-not the Quartre-Bras that evokes
the memory of Napoleon, of Wellington

CONTROLLING THE SPREAD OF

do to prevent its taking my land?
There is no reason for you to be
alarmed about the presence of bermuda
sod along your land. I have had a
tennis court in my garden for many
years and have not found it difficult
to keep bermuda in check. l do this
by cutting off the runners in the sum

out and root in the fresh garden soil
l keep this area of land well hoed and
cultivated. l pillow it deeply and thor

once or twice during the winter If 1 get
a chance. 1 rake up and burn the Der
muda roots as they get out into the cul-
tivated area. Bermuda grass canno1
stand persistent cultivation.
Bermuda grass makes such beauti-
full lawn during the summer, is so valu-
able for pasturage purposes and valu-

ought to encourage its extensive cult

with all due respect and consideration
that when bermuda takes the garden il
is because of insufficient cultivation anc

PREPARING LAND FOR IRISH PO-

Il. D., State Line, Miss, writes: l
have a piece of land that I want TO plant
in Irish potatoes. How should the land
be prepared before I plant them? The land
is sandy. How much fertilizer should
use to the acre? What breed OF chickens
Is rest tC raise for profit:
IL will soon be time to plant Irish
potatoes in the south. OF course, much
depends upon seasonal conditions rom
this date forward and the location.
Along the coast and where the land is
sandy and so can be worked earlier
than in the northern part of the cotton
belt planting may be undertaken from
the 18th of February TO the LIST of
March. In the northern half of the
cotton belt Irish potatoes should be
planted from the LIST to 18th of March
IL seasonal conditions will permit The
early planting of this crop is very de-
sirable because il should make it's prin>
cipal growth and development before
unusually warm weather sets in. There
fore. land should be prepared imme-
diately by breaking it as carefully as
possible. Enrich it with yard manure
which is we'll rotted, or with several
tons of compost obtained from low
places or the woods. You can also use
to advantage a formula containing 3
to per cent of nitrogen and to 10
per cent of phosphoric acid. We would
use such a formula at the rate of 500
pounds per acre Put the fertilizer I'M
der the drill row before the potatoes
are planted The potatoes should be
planted in a good deep furrow. Drop
the pieces Is inches apart in the row.
Cut the potatoes so there will be two
eyes to a piece. Either the Bliss or
Cobbler will be found satisfactory va
rieties. Cover the potatoes to a good
depth with a turning pillow and when
they start to sprout harrow off the top
of the ridges. The rows should be
about two and a half to three feet
apart, depending on the richness of the
land. Frequent cultivation is neces-
sary. The earth should be thrown to
the potatoes so rs to keep them well
covered in the soil.
Fight the bugs by spraying with
Paris green or by putting one pound
of Paris green in Is pounds of slaked
lime and busting this on the vines
while they are wet. If a persistent eff
fort along the line indicated is made
with the remedies suggested the bugs
can be held in check.
There is no on best variety of chick
ems. For egg layers there is probably
none better than the Leghorn. They are
difficult to confine, however. For meat
production the Rhode Island Reds and
Plymouth Rocks, and other standard va
rieties, should be found satisfactory.

Many Of our correspondents write as

treat the same. They seem to be I'M
aware of the fact that the state has
a plant in connection with the College
of Agriculture where serum is manu-
featured on a considerable scale and is
sold at actuas cost to the farmers. This
serum is tested and guaranteed, but
is handled through the office of the state
veterinarian. Atlanta, Ga. Farmers
should, therefore, communicate /. with
that office with reference to securing
the serum needed. If they do not know
how to proceed they should get in touch

In using nitrate of soda dissolved. in
water as a liquid fertilizer for garden
plants we would proceed somewhat
along the following plan: We consider
200 pounds per acre about the maximum
amount which can be used to any ad-
vantage on crops of this character. Our
thought would be, therefore, that it
would be good practice to dissolve a
pound of nitrate of soda i'm an ordinary
watering pot and spray this solution
over the plants on about twenty square
feet of ground. If you wish to make the
applications more frequently and not so
strong use only one-half pound of
nitrate Of soda. You would then be APP
plying but 100 pounds per acre, whereas
the stronger mixture would be furnish
ing this plant food at the rate of 200
pounds per acre.

variety of fruits and vegetables. our
whole national dietary can therefore
easily be changed from the ration we
have been consuming and still provide
every individual with a plentiful sup
ply Of nourishing food. AS a matter of
fact. we have been eating rations not
well suited to our needs They have
contained too much fat and sugar. and
also an excess of protein. We have
been eating great quantities of meat
which we could not digest or assimilate

realize and appreciate all these facts
but they are nevertheless true, and now
in an hour of national stress should sink
deeply into our hearts that they may
be practiced with advantage and profit
from both the standpoint of economy
and health.
There should also he a fat-saving
day. Any day in the week will answer
for this. On such a day butter, lard
andlard substitutes should be saved.
This may be accomplished by frying
less of our food than is now our prac-
tice. We can bake, broil, boil and stew
our food instead, and it will be just as
palatable and more digestible. We
should make a national practice of saw
ing meat drippings, and using vegetable
oils instead of butter for cooking pur-
poses. Some butter, of course, should
be used for children because of the Wit
amines il contains. No fat of any kind
should be wasted. Save very particle
of trimming off the meat before it is
cooked. We use and waste two and
half times as much fat as is. neces-
sary. BY saving the wasted fats in this
country we could add 100000 tons to
our own sum toaI of fats and pro-

Do not leave an excess of sugar in the
coffe cup. Use one lump instead OF

practice. We can get along with half
the sugar we now eat and not suffer
any deprivation whatsoever. We should
use fruits, vegetables, and potatoes
freely, thus stimulating our truck and
fruit industries and giving a redy mar

and essential perishables. We should
