FIGHT RODENTS TO SAVE FOOD

nifty undertaking. In the past, indi- vidual efforts often supplemented by the payment of bounties by state, county or township have been only partially successful in reducing rodent depredations. In many western coun- ties the amount paid out in single year for bounties on pocket gopheTs and ground squirrels, would, if wisely expended in poisoning operations such as have been practiced under govern ment supervision on public lands, se cure the destruction of nearly every such animal in the county and make unnecessary much further outlay for the purpose.
 A few of the rodents which inhabit the United States are not classed as injurious as they live in deserts, mountains or swamps and rarely come in contact with cultivated crops. Some are valuable because they feed largely upon insects, some because they pro- duce fur and others because they are useful as human food. Of the injurious species all are native to this country with the exception of four-the house mouse and three kinds of rats-bu. these four cause approximately two thirds of all the damage Field mice. kangaroo rats, pocket gophers, groun.. squirrels. prairie dogs, woodchuckS. and rabbits are among the most de- structive of the native species.

Drying Pumpkin

Pumpkins are bulky vegetables to store why not try something new this year and dry them? It requires sharp knife some elbow grease, little common sense, and sunshine. The free drying manual which the national war garden commission, Washington. will send in re- turn for 2~cent stamp gives detailed di- rections for drying fruits and vege- tables.
 There are two ways tof preparing pumpkin for drying and both are satis- factory Cut into one-half inch strips. pare and clean. Blanch three minutes. Cold dip, remove surface moisture os pressing between clean towels, and spread on drying trays. platters or drip ping pans. Spread q single thickness of paper or thin muslin first. The drying time is three to four hours, starting at llO degrees F. and raising gradually to 140 degrees F. The pumpkin may De cut in rings instead of strips and these rings hung up over the kitch>: stove or in the sun. Unless the air is very dry, the time required will be longer if the drying is done in the sun than in a drler, but less watching is necessary, and the product wil have an excellent flavor. The commission will be glad to answer any questions written on one side ot the paper and sent in self-addressed stamped envelope.

 Increa sing use of buttermilk marks 1t as a popular beverage. People are be- ginning to realize that it is much better to drink a glass of milk or buttermlllS than it is to consume other drinks hay ing little food value. Buttermill1 is oft en recommended by physicians in the treatment Of intestinal ailments, and it is also gaining favor in hospitals.
 Prepared buttermilk is usdally made from skim milk and has all the chem ical properties of buttermilk. If it IS churned, as is usually the case, it agrees in appearance and flavor with real buttermilk. In fact, it is often d better product, especially if clean, sweet skim milk is used and it is carefully ripened and churned.

Tractor Dependability

Of more than 500 tractor owners on representative farms in Illinois, who re- ported in recent survey conducted by the United States department of agri- culture, report of which is published as Farmers Bulletin 96S 54 per cent stated that their outfits were not dis abled single day when needed during the entire season last year. Of the re- maining 46 per cent the average number of days their tractors were out of com mission when needed was 5. This aver age, however, did not include one man, who stated that his machine was not usable about half the time.
 The reports of tractor owners indicate that with careful and proficient opera tor a gas tractor is very dependable source of power. Occasional slight de- lays probably will be encountered put serious ones will be exceptional, whereas with a carless or incompetent operator expensive delays are apt to be frequent.
 Of the tra ctors owned by Illinois farm CTS reporting, about 90 per cent were operated by the owner or some member of his family, the best results usually being obtained by this class of operators. Thirty-six per cent of Illinois owners re. ported no time lost in the field on &C., count of trouble with the outfit. This probably means that the time lost was not worth mentioning. Most men do not consider It trouble so long as they know at once the cause of stoppage or other irreguldrity in the engines operatioa I, and are able to remedy it promptly. The average time lost per day by the 46 per cent reporting trouble is little over three-quarters of an hour.

Drying Plants Needed

The United States department of agriculture and the United States food administration agree that establish ment of more commercial plants for the drying of fruits and vegetables is highly desirable in the present emer- gency. Warning is given, however, against poor products and stock sell ing schemes. Many injuries regarding the extension of the drying industry. which is in it's infancy in this country. are being received.
 It is stessential from the beginning to assure products of excellent quality, government officials point out. Pro- cesses that do not give such products will lead to loss of capital and local discouragement and will retard the general movement
 The public is advised to beware of irresponsible and unscrupulous stock selling schemes. Establishment cf drying plants and manufacture of high grade products require skill and ex- perience, absence of which may dam age the industry through flooding tka market with inferior products
 Drying when properly done is rec ognized as an efficient means of con serving food Il requires no sugar. It is reported that the German govern ment has fostered the drying industry in that country.

Systematic and well organized campaigns, in which the entire com munity is interested, are suggested as means of successfully exterminating injurious rodent pests on the farm by the bureau of biological survey of the United Sta tes department of agricul- 3ture. There are about 750 forms of rodents inha biting the United States, and the annual loss which they cause in food and feed crops is estimated at fully $500 O00,000. They feed upon crops in the field and in storage, in some cases destroying grass land So completely that erosion follows. Tn the irrigated sections of the west some species burrow through the dikes re- leasing the water and flooding tue crops. Methods of exterminating theSe pests by trapping and poisoning, which the indivi idual farmer as well as the community can employ, are told in farmers bulletin 9S2, recently published by the United States department of agriculture
 Any farmer may, by care and indus try, free his own premises of harm full rodents, but he is helpless ito pre- vent an early recurrence of the trol- ble unless he can secure the active co- operation of his neighbors. The de- partment of agriculture urges. there fore. that whenever possible the de- struction of these pests be a commit

Bermuda Grass from Seed

One of the best grasses for Alablma conditions, whether for pasture or,for lawn, is Bermuda. according to Prof. E. F. Cauthen of the Alabama expsri- ment sta tion at Auburn.
 This grass is ordinarily grown from the stems; occasionally, however. these are not available and then the seed-can be resorted to- The Bermuda plant from seed is very small and tender when it first comes up and cannot re- sist hot dry weather. It's roots are short and do not reach deep into the soil.
 Last simmer we planted some Ber- muda grass seed along with cowpeas on the station farm, and the resulttwas quite satisfactory. The cowpeas were sown broadcast at the rate of one and quarter bushels per acre, and cov- cred with disc harrow. Following immediately behind the disc harrow. Bermuda seed was sown at the rate of three pounds per acre. A corrua aated drag was run over the soil to dover the seed very lightly and to pack the surface
 The cowpeas came up promptly and shaded the ground, keeping the sur face moist and protecting the young Bermuda plants till they secured an abundant root system. When the cow peas were moved for hay in the fall, the Bermuda plants had thoroughly es- tablished themselves.
 This grass can be sown alongiwith cowpeas in Alabama during July or the first half of August, and when handled as outlined above should prove quite satisfactory both for pasture or lawn purposes.

that reason it is usually better to pur- chase it from reliable dealer.
 A delicious, variation may be made from ordinary buttermilk by the addition Of lemon juice and sugar.
 ButternIiliS lemonade usually requires the juice of three lemons to one quart of buttermiik. The quantity of lemon and sugar. however, should be varied to suit the taste of the individual.
 The beverage is delightful and is es- pecially refreshing on hot summer day.
 IN FROZEN DELICACIES The Iowa agricultural experiment sta tion describes number of ways in which sour milk CT buttermilk may be con- verted into frozen delicacies. One fol- lows:
 Two quarts buttermilk, two pounds sugar, two eggs, one and two-thii ds orange juice, one-half lemon juice.
 Dissolve the sugar in the buttermllk and add the eggs, the yolks and whites beaten separately. Stir and strain the mixture and add the fruit juices. Freeze in the usual way, and pack in ice and salt for an hour before serving.
 Of course. buttermlk may be used in cookery in any recipe calling for sour milk.
 Buttermi!k is a natural product rom churnng milk or cream into butter. Ac- cording to ruling under the federal food and drugs act the product obtained from skim milk or from whole milk not churned must be labeled when handled in interstate commerce to show that II is not real but termilk.
