Voluntary cooperation Of retail mer-

gress will be asked to bring them under
control by law, as has been done in the

present to confer with state merchant
representatives as to their relationship

each individual to follow the recon-

DO his share, literally, to keep the wolf
from the door of the world. The retail
merchants have unusual facilities for
giving publicity to the propaganda Of
the food administration. They have al
ready accomplished a great deal, but

Be sure and SOW your turnip patch
this month. Try sowing your turnips
and crimpson clover together at the
rate Of 10 to II pounds Of clover
seed per acre to 2 or 3 pounds Of
turnip seel, This will furnish an
ideal pasture for poultry and will
make a good winter cover crop.
Plan to SOW some wheat this fall,
SOW at least three acres. Wheat
should be sown after the first killing
frost occurs. to be sure of not being
bothered with the hessian fly. Seed
should be sown at the rate Of from
five to six pecks per acre If sown
broadcast, or about four pecks will
do If drilled.
The most popular varities for the
cotton section are blue stem. pnrp g
stsaw, red chaff and early may. Sew
eral Others such as bearded wheats
are also recommended. Wheat can be
soaked in bluestone solution before
sowing to prevent rust. Examine
your oats and wheat for smut, count
infested stalks on small area and cal
culate per cent damage done. If smut
is found treat oats with formalde-
hyde solution before sowing next
spring.
A farm account book would have
simpliied the job Of figuring your in
