Arizona is Feedino Herself.

An "All-Arlzona" luncheon given at
the recent state fair at Phoenix, Arlz.,
furnished valuable proof that the Cop
per state is able to live up to her slo-
gan, adopted when war was declared,
ARIZONA will feed herself" The
luncheon was prepared and served by
the home demonstration agents of the
State university, cooperating with the
United States department of agricul-
ture; 1t was an agreeable surprise to
the people unfamiliar with the agrlcul-
tura1 resources of the state. Products
of all but two of the fourteen counties
were represented In the menu. The
foods provided included grapes, dates,
figs and other fruits; potatoes, carrots,
tomatoes, peas, milk-fed chickens Mar
icopa butter, bread made from local
wheat and milo maize, olives, peanuts
and honey. Coffee from Hawaii was
the only substance grown outside the
state given a place on the menu.
For months the county agricultural
agents have been making special
drive for more and better home gar
dens and the use of homegrown
cereals. The home demonstration
agents have concentrated their efforts
on demonstrating the use of kaflr corn
as a substitute for wheat flour and of
corn sirup and honey as a substitute
for cane sugar.

AN ATTACK or GRIP
USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS
IN WEAKENED CONDITION

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic Of grip
which has visited SO many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in n run
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-
ary troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report a large sale on DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root which so many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip, Swamp Root,
being an herbal compound, has gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who try it. DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
BiDghamton, N. Y, offer to send sam

Some Things the Food Law Did.

Reviewing the ten years In which the
federal food and drugs act has been
in operation. the annual report of the
bureau of chemistry, United States de-
partment of agriculture, says the law
has done much to safeguard milk i'm
ported from Canada or shipped in In
terstate commerce to control the traf-
fic in polluted oysters and practically
to stop the traffic In decomposed
canned fish; to lessen the shipment of
decomposed canned beans and shell
eggs; and to decrease the manufacture
of foods from refuse materials, corre-
spondingly improving the sanitary con-
dilions In food factories.
Ten years ago, the report says, much
of the baking powder and gelatin and
some of the confectionery was contain
mated with small quantities of lead or
arsenic. This is not the case today.
The coloring of canned peas with
copper and the use of number of dan
gerous preservatives have been sup
pressed. The act also has made 1t
POSSIBLE to control number OF other
practices more or less dangerous to
health.

little turpentine or kerosene rubbed on

hot water fixes the fat In the fiber of

Fruit stains Of various kinds of long

Prizes for Largest Contributions.
In one shipment of poultry and eggs
5O5 contributors pooled their produce.
Most of them were small producers,
contributing only few chickens and
two or three dozen eggs. To stimulate
interest S25 prize was offered for the
largest load, s5 for the largest single
amount produced by the contributor,
50 for the heaviest hen and S5 for the
heaviest rooster The heaviest hen
weighed eight pounds and the heaviest
rooster ten pounds. The largest single
offering sold for 5000, while the
largest load brought $132.25. The whole
shipment amounted to S1,95620. 1t
went to a Tennessee point and was the
first cooperative carload of poultry
shipped from the state.
The Carroll county plan may well be
extended to other places. in the opin

county agent work. The department
will endeavor to aid any community

MARKET PROBLEM

Mississippi Town and County
Pool Eggs and Poultry.
IDEA WAS NEW AND UNTRlED
Plan Proved Successful and May Well
Be Extended to Other PIaces-De-

When Carroll county (MlsslssippD
farmers and town people began getting
together last season on cooperative
shipments of cattle and hogs-the busi-
ness men financing pooled carlots at
costa woman in the county arose to
n point of order. Shipping hogs and
cattle was fine thing for the men, she
told the county agent who was man
aging the venture. but why forget the
women with their poultry and egg
produce? Why not carlot shipments of
poultry and eggs, allowing contribu-
tions in any amounts. from the small
town henneries to the larger farm
fioclls?
The county agent responded by going
to his office and ordering circulars an
nouncing that n cooperative shipment
of poultry would be made a few days
later. 1t was a new and untried idea
in Carroll county, but he believed it
would go. 1t was explained in the cir
cular that the produce would be
shipped on the same basis that hogs
had been handied-the total expense
of the shipment to be deducted from
the total receipts and the balance d.
vided according to the number OF
pounds received from each contribu-
tor. The shipment was highly success
full, as was second which soon fol-
lowed 1t.
