Set Blackberries in Winter

Land for blackberries and dewberries should be as well prepared as for any crop, says C. K. McQuarrie of the Flor ida station. The blackberries should be placed in rows feet apart and IS inches in the row. Dewberries should be planted 12 to 15 inches apart in 42-inch rows. The blackberries will need no trellisirg, but two wires should be- strung for the dewberries to climb on. The first wire may be placed about IS inches above the ground and the second about the same distance above the first.
 With cultivation and proper care, these berries will xproduce fruit twice as large a. in their wild state. They may be planted during November, December, Jan. uary or early February. It will be nee. essary to prune the bushes before they are planted. The dewberries should be cut back to IS inches and the blackber ries to 2 feet.

marily for the use of teachers of sec ondary agriculture.
 Confining study of stock judging to pure bred animals may furnish good foundation for the training of a show room judge, says the writer of the pub lication, but it does not give the train ing needed by many farmers in the corn belt and other territory adjacent to the large market swhere feeder shep are purchased and fattened. A knowl- edge of types of purebreds grown in the community is helpful, but it is inn portant for the farmer to know the classifications ands dsdemands of the mar ket buyers. This knowledge can be given to the pupils only by studying market classes and grades. In each community instruction which will be helpful in meeting the practical prob lems common to the particular form of the industry practiced in the com munity should be given. In connection with this study. visits to packing houses and stockyards conducted by the instructor may be made very prof itable features of the study. it is said.

Missouri's Bit

Missouri farmers helped to win the war by raising 26S,95S,Oa7 bushels of corn or an increase of S,0S6,9S7. The average acre yield in the northeast section of the state was SIT bushels. the northwest section produced s4. s bushels per acre. the southwest section averaged S1.4 bushles, the southeast section gave yield of 347 bushels, making state average of 33.25 bush els per acre. According to the 1917 statistics compiled and today announced by Secretary Jewell Mayes of the state board of agriculture, Missouri's corn crop, at the average prive of s1.11 for. bushel, was worth $29S74I775.

How Much Silage?

The amount of silage to feed the va rious tarm stock is often a puzzling question. In general. dairy cows will take 50 to 40 pounds, although this Will need to be increased for a large COW on full milk flow and decreased Tor a small one giving less milk Horses will handle 10 to .12 pounds and colts under one year one-half that amount. For beef cows nursing calves 30 pounds is sufficient; calves under 800 pounds weight. 12 pounds, fatten ing cattle, 25 pounds and stockers ,, pounds. Three pounds per day will d. a mature sheep very nicely. You mus vary these amounts to suit your own needs but they are suitable for aver age conditions and stock and will give 8 basis upon which to work.

How About You?

The following are opinions of various farmers as to what the farmer needs most:
 What would do me or my neighbors tht most good? Seek the Lord first, and these things shall be added unto you. Re ligion would do the most good.-J. A Swindle.
 I think the farmers greatest need is the dealers profit on what he has to sell, and the dealers profit on what he has to buy.-J. T. Grooms.
 The farmers greatest need is to pay off his old debts on the high water mark because it will be much easier now. as he gets much higher prices on crops Ralph Moses.
 I believe the greatest need is a 50 per cent. increase in the price for farm products, so the farmer will be able to obtain all these things which you have enumerated.-E. T. Allin.
 Machinery is our greatest need. I don't think there is one farmer in this sec tion who has all the machinery he needs If we had more machinery we could tend more ground and do it better. l don't think farmer can get more machinery than he needs. Without it he can't farm. M. l.. Finley.
 What every farmer needs is productive soil. I think my neighbors here in Vernon county would raise more to the acre if they would treat their soil to a liberal amount of phosphate, and other fertilizers. Soil science should be studied by all practical farmers. This. with several carloads of phosphate to put on their soil would yield them abundant profit.-Mrs. Tony Fastabend.
 There is one thing that all farmers need. and need badly. They need to get together and stay together. They could then set prices on their crops, and if necessary could build mills and all. The consumers could buy all their supplies direct from the producers. If farmers did this great thing they could get power, schools, roads and farm loans and all they wanted They would be the biggest thing going. The only way to do it is to go right on trying and not stop. l don't say jump in all at once, but keep agoing until we get it, and after that al: other things will come very easy.- June McDaniel.

Bull associations should be potent factor in the control of contagious dis eases, according to the annual report of the bureau of animal industry, United States department of agricul- ture. One of the associations of which on June 30 there were S6 actively op- erating in IT states, has discarded all cattle that reacted to the tuberculin test. while other associations have been successful in avoiding contagious and infectious diseases of all kinds.

COOPERATIVE SHIPPING PAYS

When Carrol county Mississippi farm CTS and town people began getting to- gether last season on cooperative ship
 ments of cattle and hogs-the business men financing pooled carlots at cost-a
 woman in the county arose to a point of order. Shippings hogs and cattle was fine thing for the men, she told the county agent who was managing the venture, but why forget the women with their poultry and egg produce? Why not carlot shipments of poultry and eggs, all lowing contributions in any amounts, from the small town henneries to the larger farm flocks?
 The county agent responded by going to his office and ordering circulars an nouncing that cooperative shipment of poultry would be made few days later. It was new and untried idea in Car roll county, but he believed it would go. It was explained in the circular that the produce would be shipped on the same

Plant Some Popcorn

There is one good American food of which we have an abundance and we
 can use as much of it as we like
 corn. Use all kinds and in many ways
 Pop corn is one of the kinds everyone
 likes. It is a good food just simply
 popped, and can also be made into such
 wholesome. inexpensive sweet that it
 should be widely used. Here is the way to pop it and several ways to use 1t.
 Shell the corn if it is on the cob and pop the dried corn in a covered iron frying pan or regular pepper, shak- ing vigorously. If wire pepper is used, , do not pop the corn directly over the flame or it will scorch. Shake it quite high over the flames, or better over coals or on the top of the stove. Takt just enough corn to cover the bottom of the pepper. A cup of popcorn makes about three quarts when popped. Pop corn Is good, of course, seasoned with salt. A common way of serving is to mix with very little melted but ter and then sprinkle with salt. But have you ever tried 1t as breakfast food eaten with milk or cream? IL makes good cereal.
 To make sweet of pop corn boil
 
 tablespoon of vinegar until a few drops harden in water and pour it over the freshly popped corn while 1t is hot As soon as it is cool enough to handle, grease the hands and form into balls. This amount of sirup covers three quarts of pop corn.
 Chocolate pop corn is delicious. Cook one cup of corn sirup for five minutes. Add two ounces of chocolate two squares), and stir until melted. Cook slowly until soft ball is formed in water Beat until thicG. Have the popped corn In a greased dish. Pour the sirup over it and form into balls when cool enough to handle. This amount covers one and one-half quarts of pop corn.
 The department of agriculture, Wash ington. D. C., will send you farmers bull letin 553 which tells how to grow pop corn. Why not have a few rows of pop corn in your garden next spring?

SEED CORN rHORTAGE SERIOUS

that will be used for other purposes than seed before next spring, unless each grower now secures and safe- guards his planting needs. Do not de- pend on the other fellow. If you do, you and the country will quite cer- tainly suffer loss. Unadapted seed may be available next spring, but would prove costly at any price, whereas we'll adapted seed should prove profitable at many times it's cost
 This appeal is made to the tillers personally because upon them depends the success of next years corn crop. which is threatened by a scarcity of we'll matured, locally adapted seed. The seed trade. county, state and na- tional workers. though anxious, can help but little except as you make known your needs and your supplies, and you should act now as you would act if next week were corn planting time.

fpeLses and has also enabled the club to buy 50 chicken GOODS and 400 egg cases
 In one shipment of poultry and eggs 505 contributors pooled their produce. Most of them were small producers, con- tr.buting only few chickens and two or three dozen eggs. To stimulate interest a s25 prize was offered for the largest load, s for the largest single amount produced by the contributor. $ for the heaviest hen and s for the heaviest roos- ter. The heaviest hen weighed pounds and the heaviest rooster 10 podnds. The largest single offering sold for S302o, while the largest load brought s132.25. The whole shipment amounted to sl,- 956.2Q.

however, the work must be done with the utmost thoroughness. Careless dis infection is probably worse than none if it merely serves to give false sense of security.
 In the disinfection of stables and premises the following directions should be carefully observed:
 SOME DIRECTIONS
 Sweep the entire interior surface. including ceilings, side walls, stall partitions, floors, etc. free of dirt and dust
 Remove all accumulations of filth by scraping, and if any woodwork has become decayed so that it is porous or absorbent It should be removed, burned and replaced with new mate- rial.
 If the floor is of earth, remove four inches from the surface and replace it with earth from an uncontaminated source; or if Improvements are de- sired, new floor of concrete may be laid. which is very durable and easily cleaned.
 All refuse material from the stable and barnyard should be removed to a place not accessible to the stock ane covered with freshly slaked lime The manure spread upon the fields should be turned under immediately.
 lHe eHt1fe interior or the stable, especially the feeding troughs and drains, should be saturated with a t,s- infectant, as a per cent compound solution of cresol, which would be four ounces of the compound to every gal. lon of water.
 HOW TO APPLY
 The best method of applying the dis lnfectant is by means of a Strong spray pump, such as those used by fruit growers in spraying trees, or a small garden sprayer may be used. All managers and feed boxes which have been sprayed should be allowed to dry and then be washed out with hot water to prevent poisoning the stcct.. The spray should be applied 7inme- diately following any outbreak and as a matter of precaution it may be used once orstwice yearly.
 All stables, like houses. should have ample window space in order to admit plentiful supply of sunlight and fresh air, Tn themselves among the most Powerful disinfectants known. Most disease germs thrive in damp ness, dirt and darkness and a clean, dry stable presents the most unfa- vorable conditions for their develop ment. For this reason good drainage is also essential in the stable and about the barn lot.

Suppose the American army should throw. away one of it's important war | weapons-toss aside its rifles, or neg l lect to use it's machine guns or allow l the field artillery to remain idle what would happen? The United States would become Prussian prov ince. t
 But why such ridiculous and pre- posterous question?'' you ask. The army will use every weapon it has" l Of course it. will. But will you? | That's the purpose of the question: to l suggest how ridiculous and preposter- ous-and how serious--it would be to fail to use every war-winning weapon in your possession. You have an anti Prussians factor that you are not us- Ing. If you fail to use the war weapon that is in your Hands you cannot ex- pect your country to win, any more than you can fancy the army con quering if it throws away it's rifles or abandons it's artillery.
 What is this weapon you are not using? M
 Potatoes--the spudl
 More potatoes than we have ever had before! Four hundred and forty two million five hundred and thirty six thousand bushels of potatoes, &C., cordinG to the latest figures of the bureau of crop estimates of the uni- ted States department of agriculture.
 But the trouble is we are not eat ing these potatoes. They are being held in storage. on farms and in ware houses and have Deem marketed very slowly. Unless marketing picks up and consumption increases at once we will be unable to consume the large sup ply before new crop comes in-we will throw away a great amount of food at time when food is vital to victory.
 What can you do?
 POTATOES FOR BREADS
 Eat more potatoes and less bread. thereby decreasing domestic consump. tion of wheat and conserving it for military needs. And if you are holding potatoes you can commence to mar ket them gradually but steadily, upon such basis that all your stock will be consumed before the new crop comes in next June.
 In order to be effective, this pro- gramme must be initiated without de- lay and must receive general cooper ation throughout the country. The sup ply of potatoes we now have on hand is so large-155, 5,5S3.00O bushels more than last year-and there is such a shortage of cars and so many trans portation difficulties that it will be impossible to move the potatoes from storage and production points to con- suming centers unless it is done grad ually all during the winter and un- less potatoes are marketed and con- sumed as near to the point of pro- duction or storage as possible.
 If marketing isn't handled on this basis, and if consumption isn't in- creased it will mean a sheer waste of much of this food supply-food that if eaten here at home means more wheat
