Dear FRIENDS,
writing this, intend

ment, the United States of Amer
ica and it's ardent President
Woodrow Wilson.
I've been in trading about a
month and can say that I've GER
tainly taken interest in it, 1t is
given ia periods of one hour then
20 minutes of rest, only six
hours in two months which is
sufficient to train an American
and not as the German murder
ers, 40 years ago.
1t may be said that the eats
are not good but that's an intern
al lie, for if I'm getting fat on it
how can it be bad. The meals are
served at specified hours, which
all menin the service must OBJ
serve.
The lodging is of the first class
and we are given 2 blankets, l
pillow, 9 castings, 2 sheets and a
mattress cover which is suffici,
ent for any human.
We are having some celebrat-
ion, its the fourth and the Mari
mes are competing against the

Only word to the mothers,
! who are fortunate enough to have
their darlings in the fight that
would decide the Fate of Nations
that they must not worry about
thir sons because Uncle Sam is
taking care of them and when be
is, remember, all is well. Its

Sweet Potato Rot

The prospects for sweet potato crop in Alabama this year are not promisinr Tor more than an average yield. says Prof. G. C. Starcher of the horticultural de- partment of the extension service at Au- burn The indications are that the Irish potato yield for the United States vii, not be so large as that of last year With these two facts before us it is of the utmost importance that every pre- caution be taken to save as nearly 100 per cent of the sweet potatoes as possible, Many thousands of bushels of sweet po- tatoes rot each winter in Alabama due to improper curing and storing. The old bank method is utterly unsatisfactorv To prevent this loss curing and storage house is necessary. Such house is comparatively inexpensive, and those having few hundred bushels of po- tatoes will find that the expense neces. sary to store by this method may be re- paid in one season.
 This house method of curing and stor- ing is no longer an experiment, but has been proven successful over and over again A bulletin giving detailed meth. ods of harvesting and curing sweet po- tatoes has been prepared by the depart ment of horticulture at Auburn. This bulletin also gives detailed suggestions for the remodeling of old dwellings or other buildings for curing and storage purposes. Those who wish may also se- cure from Auburn plans for houses with capacities of 500 to 5000 bushels, with blue print and photographic illustrations ana detailed specifications of the lumber needed. Of course the information. H. lustrations, blue prints, etc. are free.

Horse Meat Healthful

There have been several horse meat markets legalized in this country and there will be more. After all that is said for and against eating horse meat we are obliged to admit that the objection is purely esthetic
 The horse lives upon the cieanest ce- reals and succuent grasses and will die before he will drink stagnant water He is the healthiest of all food producing animals, barring possibly the sheep. He is practically immune to tuberculosis, while 9 per cent of the hogs and per cent of the cattle under federal inspec- ton are condemned as unfit for food With q mortality from tuberculosis that is decmating the human family, and in this country where less than half of the meat consumed is subject to any sort of inspection. we are facing a problem that must eventually be met by drastic measures. Horse meat is easily digesti- ble, Is wholesome and safe
 In our large cities the high price of beef, pork and mutton has made their consumption almost prohbitive for the poor, while pneumonia. tuberculosis and other diseases stalk in the wake of the nourshed. We eat tho cannibal whale and shark. oysters and turtle with nothing wasted. the brains. flyers, lymph glands and the intestines of cattle, sheep and hogs. Consistency demands that we do not object to the eating of horse meat by those who want 1t. in the interest of food conservation and winning the war.

Must Grow More Wheat

The federal government has asked Alabama to increase it's wheat acreage about 14o00 acres this fall. This amounts to approximately 210 acres for each county. This seems like a com paratively small increase, but some of the counties will have to increase com siderably more than this amount in order to make up for those counties where wheat growing has not been practiced, says, the Alabama extension sery ice.
 It is none too early to make plans right now, not only to increase the wheat acreage, but to put the land for wheat in the best possible shape. Pick out the best type of soil on the farm for wheat production and give it thor- ough preparation and fertilization.
 It probably is not desirable to plant wheat on a commercial scale in Ala bama, except in the northern sections, but with food conditions as they are at present, it is desirable for every farmer in central and northern Ala bama to grow al least enough for his own use County demonstration agent reports have shown clearly that there and northern part of the state where and some have secured good yields in south Alabama.
 Detailed information as to best typs of soil, variety of seed to use, prepara- tion. fertilization of soil, etc, may later be had from the county agent. or from the Alabama extension service, Au- huru Ala

Wade's Letter

------The food administration permits retali -Ess grocers to purchase corn from Aiaoah'@ rs farmers, have it ground at a federal H. 5 sz censed mill and keep it in stock for sale ETC at 20 per cent profit above the price 2 ss q paid for the corn. If the grocer pays sc ,Sl.50 per bushel for the corn. then he sxe must sell the meal at s1.S0. He is also ,sszentitled to miler's certificate for all ss corn purchased, made into meal and sold. zsss He may use this certificate in the pur- .6k chase of flour without having to pur- .-s- chase the substitutes with the flour. Hon. s IL M ,Hobbie informed me of these facts
 in a letter today. MT. Hobbie also states
 that the meal from home grown corn a2 is much cheaper on account of eliminat- l1- Ing the miller's profits, the Transportation ? and wholesale profits on western bolted esz. meal. H. also says that the home grown
 meal is much more healthful.
 1 very seriously doubt if many of the @ grocers know that they can handle home .3Ac grown corn and meal in this way. We rsA doubt if the consuming public or tlls 9s producers of corn know this privilege sss afforded under ruling of the food ad- s8~ minstration.
 r There are enough retail grocers in Aia- t-s bama to stop this high cost of corn meal scAand make a market for the surplus corn sfS in Alabama, if they would stop handling Tz1 western meal and buy the corn, have Il ground, and sell it on the 20 per cent basis. z It is their patriotic duty to adopt this p policy of handling corn and meal as far
 as it is practicable to do so Farmers &n and town consumers should demand gro cers to adopt this method or trade With those who will. If this policy is carried
 out the price of meal will be reduced sl n per bushel in some places and a keen s-- demand for corn will be realized very
 soon. If the consumers go on depending
 Son the retail grocer for meal and the se retailer continues to depend on the .a wholesaler for convenience, the hign ssts prices will continue. Protesting and Accomplishing will only engender bad fec spr ings and bring results. Action oil sssthe part of retail dealers and consumers 7-ss will reduce the price of meal and make SIS a better market for corn.
 ssgz This problem offers great opportunity sss1.for the ladies' societies and clubs to do ITS some very effective work. How would sSsathe ladies like to be instrumental in re- sfs ducing the price of corn meal about iat cents per pound and by so doing effect ses saving of millions of dollars for the pee
 ple of Alabama? ]. A. WADE.

Drying Okra and Apples

s,s1t is probably a fact that more fruit and vegetables are being dried in Ala. stbama this summer than ever before in all effort to save all the food possible, and also to prevent as much expenditure ai < possible for high-priced containers, ac.
 cording to Miss Mary Keown, assistant home demonstration agent of the Ala bama extension service.
 Most fruits and vegetables are very
 easily dried and every effort should be
 made to dry all that can possibly be used.
 One vegetable that is not often dric1 because it adds very much to the palata-
 bility of soup, and can be used to quits an advantage during the winter
 os+ To dry it, take small tender pods and 2 string on stout threads and hang over 4 the, stove. If dried this way, heat it in { the oven before storing. Dry young and ,stender pods whole; the older pods should pbe cut in cne-fourth-inch slices. Wash I. and dip three minutes in boiling soda P water and dry two to three hours. To set the green color, use one-fourth tea
 spoon of soda to one gallon. of water. Dried okra should be soaked until soft rand used nthe same way as fresh okra E in the preparation of soups and stews. 'g The drying of apples and pears is com.
 paratively simple, but to secure the bes; : results, it must be done just right. Early varieties and sweet apples are not adapt
 ed to drying. Use the winter varieties;
 peel, core, trim and slice one-fourth-inch thick, or cut into lengths; dip into weak
 salt solution containing eight teaspoon <fuls Of salt to one gallon of water to
 prevent discoloration; then spread on trays to dry. It is only necessary to dry
 apples long enough for them to becorna tough and somewhat leathery.
 Comnlet eGirections for drying any kind
 of fruits or vegetables may be had by writing the state home demonstration
 agent at Auburn.

Army Worm on Warpath

The army worm continues to do dam- age in several sections of the state, particularly in the counties of Mo- bile, Baldwin and Escambia MT. D. C. Warren, working under the auspices of the state local experiment law and the , extension service. has just returrd from these counties. and states that. while considerable damage has been done over limited areas. it is not enough to cause undue alarm.
 Old corn has passed the stage where any real damage can be done, but the velvet bean is at the right stage for much damage to result. In a few in- stances small fields of very young corn have been totally destroyed. bus the greatest damage over the whole section has been to velvet beans
 The present generation of army worms has done practically all the damage it will do From reports com
 ing from all sections of the state where this pest is present, it is found that the insect is now in the ground in what is known as the pupal stage, and Mir Warren says that the new genera tion will emerge from the ground from 10 days to two weeks from the time of disappearance. In some sections the second generation is now beginning to show up. It is not known whether this new generation will be more or less numerous than the first but Mir Warren thinks it probable that they will be more numerous. Their abund- ance will depend very largely on whether or not the insect enemies cc the worm are numerous. Beetles of several kinds and bug resembling the squash bug eat considerable quan- titles of the worm both in the larvae and pupal stage
 This pupal stage of the arm worm IS passed in the surface of the soil and the next generation can be very much reduced by shallow cultivation right now. Of course, in old fields Of corn where cultivation has long ako ceased, 1t will hardly be practicable to do this but it will in young corn. col ton, peanut fields etc This cuitiva- ton throws this pupal stage of the in- sect up and exposes it to the sun or hot surface soil and destroys it. This IS probably the most effective remedy
 It is advisable for everyone to watch carefully for the appearance of this pest and poison with arsenate of lead or paris green while they are still confined to limited area. By being constantly on the alert the outbreak or the worm can be discovered befors 1t becomes numerous, and can be very largely checked

Next Years Seed Potatoes

Do not wait until planting time next spring to select your seed potatoes. Do not even wait until harvest time this fall Begin now by making 8 study of the plants. This is the ad- vice given by specialists of the bureau of plant industry of the United States department of agriculture to potato growers who want to have seed that will produce the highest yields Po- tato growers should have a seed plant, which may or may not be 8 part of the main crop, and from the best grow ing. disease resistant plants in this plat. which produce high yields of mar ketable sized potatoes. select their seed for the following year. An area of one-tenth or one-fifteenth of the entire acreage will usually provide sufficient seed for the following seasons plant ing
 While it is an advantage to start the seed plat with selected material the work may be begun during the grow ing season with any good stock of promising quality planted in suitable soil and properly cared for. The best portion of the field therefore should be selected for the seed plat. It should De we'll QTdlHeus SulllNaNSA and thoroughly sprayed.
 Several times during the growing season the seed plat should be in- spected. All weak, degenerate and dis eased hills and those showing varietal mixtures should be pulled, so that only the progeny of healthy hills of the correct variety will remain at harvest time. Plants showing stem rot either at or below the surface of the soil ..fa <la 1lo xf .hn mai rolling of the leaves, those with mottled or crinkled leaves, and any plants that are stunted, weakened or that make unthrifty growth. should be discarded.
 If practicable it is best to dig the seed plat by hand. care being taken to eliminate all low yielding hills and those producing an undue proportion of small or unshapely tubers. In hdr- vesting avoid unnecessary cutting, bruising or other injury, since the vt- tality of damaged tubers is reduced Gather and store the seed potatoes in slat crates. Place them as soon as possible after harvesting in a cool, reasonably moist storage house pro- vded with good ventilation and main tained at a temperature of 30 to 40 degrees F.
 Before the next planting time the stock should be carefully worked over to remove all badly cut or bruised tubers and those showing serious seab or black scurf and decay of any kind, Tubers badly off type should also be discarded, as should any showing ab normal discoloration of flesh which can be seen, of course, only at the time of cutting. If scab or black -scurf is present in any degree 1t is advis- able to treat the seed by covering for 30 minutes in a solution containing four ounces of corrosive sublimate to 90 gallons of water.
