Rats in Trenches. Doomed

The Stars and Stripes" the newspa- per published for the American expedi- tionary forces in France, recently print ee the following regarding the work of former members of the scientific stan of the biological survey, United States De- partment of Agriculture
 "As you may have heard five or eleven times already this is a scientific war. Whenever an annoyance or an actual menace to the army is discovered, scien- tlfic steps are taken to annihilate the pest
 "Even the cootie is doomed. It is said that the research work is in charge of an officer tc be designated as Cooten- mt But this story is about rats.
 "The rat figuratiyely, is about to be trapped X year or so ago there was a mana member of the biological survey who had great success in eXterminat- ing the prairie dogs out in Kansas and Colorado. When America came into the var, somebody in the War Department suggested that maybe this scientific eX- terminator of prairie dogs was so good at that job he might be able to solve the rat problem in the trenches So they ordered him over here to give the rats critical and microscopic look
 He came over and went up front and studied the rodent. He studied it by and large hither and yon, here and there, and through and through. He found out what 1t liked for supper, and it's favor ite flower and how it cared for its young. And he doped out way to lessen its ravages if not actually to ex- terminate 1t.
 He found out, too, that not all the rat trouble is at the front. large part Of it is at the base ports. where the rats get into the big storehouses, and cause damage to the food and cloth ing waiting to go to the front Often the rats go right along up with the food and clothing.
 The rat specialist made his report and recommended that some men be sent to assist him. It is said that his re- quest has been granted and that a sue cessful barrage against the rat already has been laid down.

Bullock County Farmers

That there are some good farmers in Bullock county is a well-known fact. Tn recent report to extension head quarters at Auburn, MT. James A. NC I.eod. the county agent mentioned the names of some of the good farmers of the county and told briefly just what they are doing. This list by no means covers all of the good farmers, or any appreciable portion of them, hut gives an idea what some of these up-to-date farmers are doing.
 M M. Pitts operates 12 blows. ana has good, balanced system of farm ing. For each blow he has an average of 10 acres of cotton, 10 of corn ana velvet beans, five of soy beans and one of truck. ,stf.,t.
 J. F. Pittman is doing excellent work with soy beans and Berkshire hogs. His pigs are fed from self-feeder He has an excellent herd of dairy cows, and is scientific and successful farmer. A. M. Cope has good live stock farm having 30 head of Jersey cows and lOO fine hogs. He has 40-foot concrete silo, and his farm is decidedly a money making one.
 J. M. Ellis is recognized as one of the best all-round farmers in the county. He operates about 75 blows and is on the job himself all the time He is liberal user of commercial fer tilizer, as we'll as barnyard manure and has one of the best farms in the county.

. Clubs Are Loyal


 An interesting bit of information con- corning the October meetings of the home demonstration clubs in the various counties of the state is that after the song, Alabama all salute the flag and repeat the following pledge: q pledge allegiance to my flag and to the country for which it stands, one na- tion, indivisible, with liberty and jus tice for all.'' All honor to our men who are on the fighting line and to our farmers who are backing them up along the line of food production, but these women are just as patriotic, and are due just as much credit for their work as are~the men who are in the trenches or following the blow.
 Another feature of the October meet ings of these clubs is that every mem Der will report on the quantity of fruit and vegetables canned, dried or brined at her home during the past season, as well as on any other special home &C., tivities carried on during the year. In this way it will be- found out how many are using sugar substitutes, making win ter gardens, planting home orchards, etc.
 The home demonstration workers have learned that the old enemy lie that the government will commander all canned products from private homes is agair being circulated. Nothing could be fur ther from the truth, and these home demonstration club members are asked to help to contradict it again.

Maximum EggProduction

In discussing what the poultry club Miss Gladys Tappan, assistant home demonstration agent of the Alabama ex-l tention service, stresses the importancel Of providing green feed for winter use, What is good for the poultry club mem bers along this line is of equal impor- tance and value to anyone else grow1nsl poultry. Among other things, in dis cussing this proposition, Miss Tappan! said:
 Now is the time to plant green feed TOT poultry. If hens lay the right num- per Of eggs, they must be in good, healthy condition, and green feed keeps them healthy, gives them a good appe- tte. supplies more water. makes yell low yolks and causes them to produce more eggs. It is just as important to feed green feed every day as it is to feed corn or any other feed, and a crop of rape, clover or small grain should be put in at once. Cabbage, collards, lettus carrots, turnips, beets, alfalfa and the various pasture grasses all are suitable for green feed for hens. Those having a surplus of Irish potatoes should boil them and feed to the chickens"
 It is predicted by many that. the pro- ducer will receive 75 cents or more per dozen for fresh eggs this winter, and only those providing green feed for the hens can expect to secure the maximum number of eggs. Therefore. it is com mon sense and good business to pre- pare for supply of this green feed, and now is the time to do it.
 Further information along this line may be secured by consulting the coun- ty demonstration agents or by writing to the Alabama extension service at Auburn.

Hog Sales Days


 The hog sale days will be held in vari- ous sections of Alabama this year, accord ing to regular schedule. Dr. J. J, Wat son, market specialist of the Alabama extension service, is nor arranging this schedule, and it will be arranged so as to suit the convenience of as nearly all Of the towns and buyers as possible. Some of these sale days may be held on the same day in different towns. but when this is the case, it will be in towns con- siderable distance apart, so that it will not be inconvenient either to the towns or the buyers.
 Several towns have already indicated the date on which they will hold their sales this season, and pr. Watson will Incorporate these dates in his schedule These dates of sale will be announced soon. so that all may know as far in ad- vance as possible the exact date on whicf they will be held.

Your Share

There is just one way to make the sup ply of sugar go around. No more will he available until later in the year. Untn the new supply comes in there is just one half of our normal requirements for household use. That will not hold out unless the United States keeps to ra- ton of two pounds a month per person in the home, excepting that used for can ming.
 It has come down to a matter of arith- metic now, and no one can refuse to work his sums
 If America observes this ration, we can supply our soldiers with what sugar they need France and Italy can continue their meagre rations. Neutrals depend- ent upon us for their supply will re- ceive 1t.
 For ourselves, we reserve two pounds a month, the most that any one of us can consume without taking someone else s share. We have an abundance of other sweets and of foods which. like sugar, furnish heat and energy.
 When we can or preserve fruit we must use as little sugar as possible, and add sugar late, if necessary, when the new crop comes in.
 But first and foremost, personal con- sumption must be guarded: shall take my daily ounce in this way or that? When he nave l l-lo OulCeS d ney, IL pS~ hooves us to consider well the use Of IL. That gives us one tablespoon. or half an ounce, for cooking or for sweetening cer- calls, and two cubes of sugar for tea and coffee.
 When a person "cannot drink" coffee without two Jumps. and takes two cups a day, his sugar allowance is used up. Of course he would like more, and 1t IS a nuisance to think in terms of an ounce
 x,,l npttV annoyances count little before the bare facts that every particle of sugar above the daily ounce is taken from another persons ration.

Why Farm Women Fade

am farmers wife. have been can- ming and preserving and cooking TOT threshers. Perhaps I have preserved too well, for have preserved kick to make,
 which has been preserved within myself
 and many others for many years The hardest part of the work IS done
 for spell, and the money will come Ill
 now for the year. We women have done
 the washing, ironing, mending, cooking
 and cared for the children q nave nve) all year, while the men worked i'll the fields. We have worked as hard ana saved little harder, perhaps, than the men.
 Now. when the men collect the money
 and put 1t in the bank in their own
 name, why shouldn't we women have a
 share of that as well as of the work? When we ask for a new dress 1t IS, Well when will you wear it. you kioW
 you don't go anywhere?" It is true that 1 most farmers own autos. but the men take the things to town while the women
 stay at home with the children and LOOK after the place. Why not let women take
 a turn at driving the auto to town ana take the children, while the men stay at home?
 The men say, "Oh a woman is too nervous to be trusted with the auto.
 But is there anything in the world harder
 on a woman's nerve that to be smut III
 the house for days and weeks with q
 bunch of children?
 Or else the tune Is, "A woman IS not
 strong enough to crank it and cnanse
 tires" Is there anything that takes more
 strength than carrying water, dolhg q big family wash and emptying tups III
 time to get dinner?
 Getting new dress and running the
 car would put heart enough in the aver
 age woman to do more and save doupie
 of what she did last year. Even II sne does have few slight accidents, Whae
 right has the husband to take the car from her? If he had a smash-up ne
 would not let his wife take the car rom
 him.
 As it is, when a man wants to go any
 where, he says, "Tm going. When his wife wants to go anywhere
 she has to say, How long Will II pc | | efore you can take me to town? Then when she gets to town 1t is, Jonii, can I please have nickel for some ruo- Der for Mary's bloomers?' f If she wants to look into store win dow at the new suits. it's. There's no use fooling around here, looking at those; we haven't any money for new suit. Why shouldn't wife be allowed to have little money of her own, and go 1 to town once in awhile and look through I the stores, instead of the wife haVlns ! only a ''working right on the farm There would be no "hired girl' problem on the farm then, for the Wlfe Woulu | keep her health and strength to do her owr work if there were more freedom or money and recreation for her.-A tarm- CTS Wife, in the Wichita Eagle.

Advertising Sells Stock

Success in breeding pure-bred dairy cat tie depends upon the reputation of the breeder C. H. Eckles of the University of Missouri College of Agriculture men tions three ways in which the breeder may gain this reputation. The first $ through advertising m good agricultural rapers; second, exhibiting at fairs; third. making official milk and butter records so good that they will attract attention. Professor Eckles regards skllful adver- Using in good agricultural papers as the most effective means by which the breeder can place his stock before the buying public Persistent advertising, he gays, brings results A reader con- fronted regularly with the name of a certain firm or breed, after awhile, has Hat name so fimly fixed in his mind that it comes to him at once if he has occasion to buy. The breeder who wishes to advertise should select the papers that circulate among the people to whom he can reasonably expect to sell his
 stock.

serve in any capacity in which they can contribute most toward a speedy ending of the war. In order that this may be done frank statement should, in each case, be made to the boards. It is be- ieved that it will frequently require as much courage on the part of many men to remain in their civilian occupations as to waive deferment.
 This effort to keep men in industry. rather than to send them to the camps and the trenches, should not be abused so as to permit the stacker to escape military duty. The necessities for rais- ing an army are paramount Every man that can be spared will be needed and needed badly to bring the enemy to his senses. The adviser should be assisted in every possible way by every legiti- mate agricultural interest to find the men that can be spared for military duty, but also to keep those that are es- sential to the maintenance of a proper food supply. s

Clubs Help County Work

Women's rural clubs have done much to further the employment of trained workers for the counties. such as home demonstration agents, county nurses, and county social service workers. The state leader of home demonstration agents in Mississippi has said that the women's clubs in that state have been constant and earnest supporters of county extension work in home eco monies. They have given financial aid. used their influence to secure appro- priations, bought canning club products, and given the work prominent place on their programmes.

FILLING THE SILO


 Remember that in utting up silage you are after dry matter and not bulk nor water matter, and not bulk nor water content. There is no nutriment in water. The nutriment is altogether in the dry matter, and the amount of nutriment the farmer gets out of it depends on the pala- tabilty of the dry matter; for in COW as in man, the saliva flows more freely if what is being eaten tastes good, and hence digestion is more perfect, says the University of Florida extension division. Don't begin to cut your corn for silage until it begins to glaze, for the simple reason that nature has not yet done her work, has not finished putting feeding value in the ear and the stalk. When it begins to glaze, begin to fill your silo
 Don't imagine that you have. to wait to let your fodder dry out before you put it in the silo While the water in it has no feeding value, yet you must have the water to keep the silage.
