lessor OF agronomv, Louisiana State
University. LouisiaE3's sweet pota-
to crop for this year is estimated to
be 100000 bushels, and growers
would do well to take precautions
against undue losses through careless
handling.
Some Of the things to be observed
arc as follows:
L. Potatoes should be thoroughly
mature before beirg harvested.
2, They should be handled careful
~ to prevent bruises, as such places
cause rot very quickly.
3. Injured potatoes should net be
stored with sound ones
u The potatoes should be sub
Jected to temperature Of IS to 95
degrees Fahrenheit as soon as they
IRE put away. and the moisture con-
tent reduced to 10 per cent or less.
s. Potatoes should be stored IN O
well built house. where the temper
allure can be kept uniform. This will
save 8 large per cent Of all good
sound potatoes, while the old bank
method usually causes a loss of rs
to 80 per cent. Old tenant houses
can often be utilized for that purpose.

Early Apple Crop
Breaks Records

Delaware's early apple crop mas
broken all previous records. In al
dition to the larger yield, the ap-
pie season this year began TWO
weeks earlier and the apples nave
brought an excellent price IN the
market. The highest price PAID
was 1885 per basket and $500 was
the average price.
The crop increase is due accord
ing to Professor Wesley Webb, TO
the fact that so many young trees
are just coming into full bearing.
The advantages of Delaware as an
apple-growing state have been re-
cognized by growers from other
states. The big Commercial Orch-
ards near Cheswold, containing
some twenty thousand fine 5 year
old trees are owned by two western
growers who are enthusiastic over
the natural advantages and SHIP
ping facilities of the state.

Vegetable Protein
for Chickens

Among the poultry experiments
now being conducted on the Gov
eminent farm at Beltsville, Md,
are number of feeding tests in
which the value of vegetable pro-
tein is being compared with beef
scrap. One pen of chickens fed
mash containing 20 percent beef
scrap produced in five and one-half
months an average of SO eggs per
hen. Another pen fed a mash con-
sisting of 10 percent peanut meal
and 10 percent beef scrap produced
an average of 53.4 eggs per hen
during the same period. The hens
in a third pen which were fed a
mash consisting Of 10 percent soy
bean meal and 10 percent beef
scrap averaged 44.4 eggs for the
period. In other pens cottonseed
meal and velvet-bean meal were
fed as part substitute for beef
scrap with the result that the hens
produced a fair egg yield, though
not as high as the hens in the first
pen mentioned.

YOUTHFUL VOLUN-
TIERS DISCOURAGED
Applicants Must be over Is
and Must Prove Age

The minimum age limit for vol
untary enlistment in the United
States Army is fixed by Congress
at Is years. There have been so
many applications for releases
from the Army of boys under this
age who have enlisted that Adjt.
Gen. Henry P. Mccain has issued
the following circular letter:
"The large number of appllca-
tions received from parents and
guardians for the discharge OF
minors under Is years of age, in
closing satisfactory evidence that
the soldier is under this age, indl-
Gates the necessity of more care on
the part of recruiting officers IN
order to avoid unnecessary expense
to the Government and annoyance
to troops in the field in the subse-
ouent discharge of such men, and
to avoid placing a blot for life on
the record of boy whose offense
of misstatement of his age arises
usually from patriotic desire to
serve his country.
thereafter no applicant under
the registration age will be accept
ed or enlisted until he has proven
to the complete satisfaction of the
recruiting officer that he has reach,
ed the age of Is years. The proof
required will be (a) birth certifi.
