The egg machincs-the Lcghorns--
are always in demand. not only with
those who measure the worth OF a
flock OF fowls by the number Of cess
produced. but also with the fancier.
They arc bred in several colors. but
the white is the most popular. This is
due, perhaps. because il is easier to
breed white fowls than colored ones.

except the White. which recommends
itself to the purely commercial farmers.
Buff LeEhorns were originated in
England. Mrs. Lister Kay was most
active in their production, and. gener-
ally speaking the fowls arc the result
OF cross between White Lcghorns and
Buff Cochins. Mrs. Kay claims that
certain yellow fowls from Denmark
also entered into their origin. Early
III the '9os Buff Lcghorns were intro
duced into the United States, and for
several years they enjoyed an extern
sive boom
Without doubt the Bluffs have all

supply OF home -ra Used feeds for the
| next twelve months. Here are fvc suE-
Gcstions laid down by the Progressive
farmer that will help in doing this:
l. Put legume crop In every acre
OF corn. Amy land in corn that does
not also grow crop OF cowpcas. vel
vet or SOY beans or peanuts Is doing
only half it's duty and the same is
pretty nearly true OF the owner OF the
acre as we'll. 4 good growth OF any
OF these will furnish fine grazing well
into the winter and thus save the har-
vested grain for later use
>. Plant hay or grazing crop or
corn after all oats and wheat. Idle
stubble land ought to be an abomiua-
ton In the eyes OF any farmer. and
certainly is to al! good farmers. II
there be any doubt as to an ADEQUATE
supply OF corn. some of the richest Of
the Stubble land may we'll be planted
10 corn. CowpcaS or q mixture OF COW
peas and sorghum. will make n good
crop OF excellent hay. as will SOY beans.
millet or Sudan grass. Peanuts and
sweet potatoes for hogs may also be
planted we'll into July.
3. Put all low, wet spots to growing
hay There is hardly farm in the
cotton Belt that hasn't one or NOR,
rl'h wet hollows that are not paving
their taxes. IL these cannot be ditchcd
ana drained We can at leas. grub out
the bushes and stumps and get = hay
crop off them
l. Flow up cotton OIL land where
S'ahds are bad and plant corn or hay.
i" some sections cold weather and
heafy rains have resulted in poor
S''hos OF cotton. and where this is tho
case ana there is any likelihood Of a
'eed shortage. it will probably pay TO
piow up the scattering cotton and
plant feed crop
D. Build a silo and fiji it. IL YOU have
nttecn or more head of cattle to win.

Every time a farmer buys potash

element his soil doesn't need, and what
is even more serious, he is wrongng

potash is needed by taking from their
limited supply and making this supply

these reasons, no farmer should have

Apple Prospects

Judging from present Indications tho
apple crop In the state will be about
80 per cent less than for 1917. Some
localities show up better than others.
The writer has had occasion to visit
several commercial orchard districts In
the past few weeks. notably around
Wayneshoro. Stuart's Draft. Alton
Greenwood. Crozet. Stanton and
FiShersrille.
Augusta County shipped over 1000
carloads of apples Ia 1917. Among
some OF the prominent growers are

are dotted with productive orchards
In 1914. $4,000 barrels were shipped
from this place: in 1915. $1,000 barrels:
in 1916. $4,000 barrels. and in 1917. I'll
coo barrels were shipped. Among the
prominent orchardlSts are William H.

In addition to apples this section
raises peaches on large scale, and
from present indications this crop will
DC about IS per cent OF last year
During July and August of 1917. there
were shipped from this station 1877
crates OF peaches with express charges
amounting TO s5,01o.9o. while l2S car
leads OF apples were shipped. averas
ing about 10 barrels per car. The
NJ
hercabouts are the Elberta and Georgia
Belle.
About 40 per cent of an apple crop
and - per cent OF a peach crop is
looked for around this section There
are large commercial interests in this
immediate vicinity. Some of the best
known growers arc the Consolidated
orchard Company, with c. H. wayland
as manager; j. y. O'Ncil. {. l.. O'Ncil.
W. $ Ballard. j. NJ Ballard. Thomas
II. Jarman. DIR. J. Il. Boyle. and j. T.

with the alberta and Georgia Belle as
leading varieties.
The shipments OF apples from this
station in 1916 amounted 20 7I.0oO bar
'sls. while i'll 1917 approximately 100
100 barrels were shipped. Peaches to
hhc number OF 10000 crates were

arousing distrust among the allies"
Chairman Hurley, OF the United
States Shipping Board. today ex-
pressed confidence that the entente
nations will discount the German
efforts land maintain the solid line
for democracy and humanity till the
end"
Today" Hurley says, America Is
building a large fleet of transports
and food ships to carry out her great
military program. After the war,
this merchant marine will be used
in Americas enormous ocean-carry-
ing trade.
Guarantees of fair dealing in this
matter are found in Americas un-
selfish policy in, fighting for democ-
racy, in President Wilson's devotion
to the cause of humanity and also
in Americas past record
''If our ships do not bring pros
perity to our neighbors as well as
to ourselves, our own pride in the
achievement will be diminished.
America plans, first OF all, to win
the war. and after that to overcome
her own neglect in providing ocean
transportation for her own trade.
Furthermore, they hope that the
American merchant marine will play
large part in bringing the neigh
boring democracies OF the American
hemisphere closer together"
