SHOP EARLY!
Uncle Sam asks that Christ
mas Shopping be COM
pleted by Nov. IS

Do your Christmas shopping
early is more than ever wise adj
vice and, at this time, advice
which must be followed in order
not to interfere with the govern
ment's war program. The council
of national defense, in a special
bulletin to women, who do a large
share of the Christmas buying,
urges that as much Christmas
shopping as possible be done in
October and completed by Novem-
Der Is. Other suggestions are:
That the articles purchased be
chosen with reference to the act
ual needs of the individuals for
whom they are intended. The only
exceptions to this should be in the
case of toys for little children.
That for gifts which must be
sent by mail, express or freight
small, light articles be chosen.
That purchasers carry home
small packages and do not ask for
frequent or special deliveries.
That wherever possible gifts be
delivered in person rather than by
mail or express.
That all packages, cards, ETC.,
which must be sent by mail or ex-
press be started by December 5 at
latest.
The state councils have been
asked to see that the dealers keep
their agreement not to hire extra
help or lengthen the hours at
Christmas time.

to stratify them in pits over winter
and then plant them next spring
lust about the time germination
begins. In eastern United States
north of the Gulf States this is be.
tween March / and 25. Squirrels
chipmunks, and hogs are serious
pests if present in numbers, and
would more than likely succeed in
making away with Q majority Of
the nuts if they are planted in the
fall. SMALL tracts, however, sur.
rounded by cultivated fields, and
other places where these animals
are known to be scarce, might
safely be planted in the early or
late winter when labor is more
easily secured than in the spring
Planting lis done by making a
small hole with a mattock or hoe,
dropping one or two nuts, and
covering them with about 2 inches
of fresh soil. A good spacing Of
the holes is s feet apart each way,
or 8 by 10 feet, which amounts, re.
spectively, to $50 and 545 holes
per acre. The number of nuts re.
uuired can easily be estimated on
the basis of their quality, the area
of ground to be treated, and the
spacing.
Care should be taken not to
plant under shade.
While the best results are usual
ly obtained by completely prepar.
ing the soil and cultivating it for
few years after planting, farm
owners should be aware of the
possibility of starting hundreds of
young walnluts in their wood lots
and elsewhere ait the expense of
only little labor. This will be a
good step in the process of Secur-
ing useful and money-1naking trees
on parts of the farm which would
perhaps otherwise be waste land,
making no return at all to its own,
er for it's cost in care and taxes.

his old unit where that unit had
room for him or where there was mo-
