SUGAR FOR
CANNING FRUITS

According to communication from
the federal food administrator of Ne
vada, where certification is made to
the effect that sugar is to be used for
canning and preserving purposes,
necessary permission will be granted
by the state food administrator to
those who wish to secure larger guam
titles than allowed under the present
regulations. The food administration
strongly favors canning and preserv-
ing of fruits by the housewife and will
lend all possible assistance to this
end.
1t will be wise for housewives to
provide themselves with sufficient
jars, lids and rubbers for their can
ming as there may be shortage later
and prices will undoubtedly rise. Free
instructions on drying and on cold
pack canning of fruits and vegetables
will be sent free to any housewife

WAR CONFERENCE TO BE HELD
IN RENO TO BE BIG AFFAIR

According to announcements sent
out from the Offices of the state coun-
Gil of defense in Reno. every county in
the state will be well represented at
the statewide war conference which
will open there for two-day session
on May Is.
At the outset IL was thought that
few representatives from each county
would be present to enter the dis
cussions, but as the affair has been
developed IL appears that from 500 to
800 people will attend and that every
organization and industry in the state
wiil have its best men present 20 take
part in the many interesting discus
sions that will come up.
A tentative program showing in a
measure what will take place has
been prepared and is being distributed
throughout the state. The program
provides for sectional meetings Of
eleven different sections. as well as
for two big open meetings at which
addresses will be given by prominent
speakers sent out from the national
council of defense.
One very important matter that will
be taken up and one that will interest
every rancher and cattleman in Ne
vada is the fixing of standard wage
scale for laborers on Nevada farms.
At a meeting in Elko a few days ago
the first attempt to establish such a
wage scale was made by the ranchers'
organization and this organization is
coming to Reno prepared to submit a
scale of SO a day for men working in
the hay fields and s3.75 a day for
stackers, to the conference for state
wide adoption. This delegation will
also recommend the establishment of
a nine and a half hour day for farm
laborers.
There are hundreds of important
questions to be considered; questions
that vitality affect Nevada's work in
the war and the delegates from each
county are being asked to come pre-
pared to discuss anything that Is OF
interest to their section OF the
country.

MORE LIVESTOCK TO CRAZE
IN NATIONAL FOREST RESERVE

To meet the war needs of the coun-
try, sheep and cattle will be grazed
on the national forests this year in
increased numbers. Forester Graves
states that half million more sheep
and nearly a quarter million more
cattle will be given permits this year
than last. This will bring the total
number of stock grazed nuder permit
to about nine million sheep, 100000
cattle and 1000 swine.
An increase was made last year
when il was first recognized that the
country's need of beef. mutton, wool
and hides called for the fullest use
possible of the national forest ranges.
With the country at war the secre-
tary of agriculture felt that ii was
advisable to take some chances on
overgrazing in the larger interest of
immediate production. The results of
admitting a greater number of stock
last year were closely watched and
the increased numbers this year are
made possible mainly by finding how
additional stock can be grazed with
out injury TO the ranges through more
intensive methods of use.
Among these methods are readjust-
ments in the allotments or range,
closer utilization of the forage and
the opening up of country heretofore
not used for the grazing of stock
New areas have been made accessible
through the construction of trails and
driveways and the development of
awtering facilities

THE TELEPHONE GIRL

An exchange truly says: The tel
ephone girl sits in her chair and lis
tens to voices from every where.
She knows who is happy and who has
the blues; she knows all our joys; she
knows every girl that is chasing the
boys; she knows all our troubles; she
knows all our strife; she knows every
man who Is mean to his wife; she
knows every time we are out with the
boys; she hears the excuses each fell
low employs; in fact there's secret
meath each saucy curl of that quiet
demure looking telephone girl. If the
telephone girl would tell us all she
knows, it would turn all our friends
into bittercst foes; she would SOW a
small wind that would soon be gale,
engulf us in trouble and land us in
Jail; she would let go the story which
(gaining in force) would cause half
our wives to sue for divorce; she
would get all the churches mixed up
in a fight and turn all the days into
sorrow and night In fact she would
keep the whole town in a stew If she
told the tenth of the things she knew.
Now don't is set you'd head in a
whiIl when you think what you owe

failed to take advantage of it, yet the
farmer, in the Land Bank, has Il
source Of supply for money that is
unique in our national system of econ
omy.
How Loans Carry Benefit
Suppose the loan should be made
upon 100 acres which had been
bought for $50 an acre, with a cash
payment of $4,000, leaving a balance
of $4,000 against it. Suppose, also,
that the buyer lacks money to I'M
prove, equip and fertilize the land.
The chance of success is heavily
against him. Now suppose, again,
that he borrows from the Federal
Land Bank $4,000 with which to pay
off the mortgage and provide needed
improvements and equipment to make
profitable cultivation possible. He
ought to be able to work out clear
title to the land within five or six
years, at the same time largely in
creasing its value and creating a
basis for further credit for adding to
his holdings and improving them. In
all of this the experts at the command
VI We Ddih ChSSIluily lSIlu thCll bid
if desired
another feature of the Federal
Land Bank that many farmers do not
seem to understand as entirely to
their advantage is that which gives to
them virtual control of the loans in
their respective communities, where
men and the land are well known.
Loans are made only through farm
loan associations of ten or more farm
ers. First loans, under the law, must
aggregate not less than $4,000, and
members of the association must take
per cent of the total in stock, which
bears dividends and has the voting
privilege. Each association has its
own committee to pass upon applica-
tons for loans and to appraise the
value of land upon which they are
based. No loan will exceed so per
cent of the land value, and the ap-
praisal made of it is verified by an ex-
pert from the bank, step that adds
security to the bank which the Dor
rowers virtually ownu. In all Of this
there is no more "red tape" than ordi-
nary business prudence dictates"

CULLING FOR PROFIT
ABLE EGG PRODUCTION

Careful culling to weed out the low
producing hen is necessary for profit
with poultry. Nature marks the poor
layer so it is easy to pick her out.
Culling should be done between Aug.
Is and November /, when the marks
are most evident. Proper fall culling
reduces the winter feed bill but not
the egg production.
Culling Old Hens
Egg production decreases with age.
Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds,
Wyandottes, and Orpingtons should
not be kept more than two years.
Leghorns, Minorcas and Anconas may
be kept three years. All hens over
these ages should be sold.
Culling Pullets !
Pullets lay the winter eggs. All
mature, vigorous pullets should be
kept. Any weak, understood or de-
formed pullet should be culled out.
Other methods of estimating future
egg production of pullets are inaccu-
rate and their use is not advised.
Culling Yearling Hens
The real problems of culling are
found with yearling hens. Every
flock of hens of this age contains some
Improbable producers. Every hen
must be studied to determine Der val
uc. Nature marks the poor producer
and the poultry keeper should read
Natures record. The first prominent
sign of poor layer is furnished by
the mott. When hen molts she has
finished her laying season. An early
molter has shorten season and is
q shy egg producer. The hens which
mott first should be sold.
Prominent yellow pigment in va
rious parts of the body is the next
evidence Of poor egg record, Hens
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1918-11-15

not laying store up yellow fat. This
is especially evident in the shanks,
beak and ear-lobes. When hen lays
heavily this color very largely disap-
pears. A hen with bright yellow
shanks, beak or ear-lobes is poor
producer.
Quality of skin and bone is another
mark of the production of hen. A
coarse bird is poor layer. The quail
ity of bone can be judged by exam
ming the keel and pin bones. Birds
having coarse, thick skin, and coarse,
heavy keel or pin bones should be sold.
The depth of birds body also in
dicates her capacity for producing
eggs. Heavy egg laying hens must
have deep bodies. Body depth is
measured by the distance between the
end of the keel and the pin bones. A
bird showing lack of capacity In this
region should be sold.
Egg laying causes the pin bones to
spread apart. Hens showing these
bones close together, or with the ends
hard and unyielding should be elm
mated from the flock.
Summary of Points for Culling
/. Old Hens: Sell all hens that have
finished two seasons, except Leghorns,
Minorcas and Anconas. Sell these at
end of third season.
2. Pullets: Sell all weak, deformed
or undeveloped pullets. Keep all ma
ture, vigorous pullets.
3. Yearling Hens: Sell or kill all
weak, sick or over-fat birds. Sell all
early melting birds. Sell all birds
with bright yellow shanks, beak or
ear-lobes. Sell all birds with coarse
skin, keel, and pin bones. Sell all
birds that lack body depth. Sell all
birds with pin bones close together
and unyielding. S. Townsley.

PASTURE WHEAT NOW
TO AVOID WINTER-kILL

Unusual favorable weather condi-
tions have caused an extremely rapid
and vigorous growth of wheat this
fall, and in some places there is dam
ger that the crop will reach the joint
ing stage before freezing weather
comes. Wherever this happens the
crop will suffer serious injury from
winter-killing. Many farmers are
asking the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture how to avoid
this damage. According to W. e,
Etheridge of the department of farm
crops, it may be avoided only by pas
turing the crop now.
More harm than good ordinarily re-
suits from pasturing wheat, for the
second growth is not as vigorous as
the first growth and does not yield so
well. Besides, considerable damage is
suffered from trampling by the stock.
But when there is danger of jointing,
pasturing must be resorted to as the
only means of saving the crop. Even
in this case, judgment must be used
in applying the, remedy. Stock should
not be turned on the crop when the
ground is soft with moisture, as eX-
cessive damage from trampling would
result. When the ground is dry cat
tie will do less damage than sheep
because they will not Craze the crop as
closely as sheep would Craze it. But
when the ground is wet, sheep should
be turned in rather than cattle be-
cause they will do less damage by
trampling. Under no conditions
should wheat be pastured after the be-
ginning of its growth in the spring.
