day from California. Peter, like the
rest OF the Irish. is irrepressible and
equally lovable. He has adopted Mar
Gel, a little French boy. and wanted to
bring him over to see our fair city.
Peter began his career as a soldier and
then he took job In wholesale lum-
Der office. At the end of six years he
was worth $3.50 month. but the boss
was only paying him $50 and then
along came the fire and earthquake In
San Francisco. No more double entry
for Kyne--he was free at last. After
the fire he started a store on the ruins
of wellknown block on borrowed
money. It lasted twenty three months
and Peter wound up broke and crippled
with rheumatism. Then he went back
into the lumber business--but not as a
bookkeeper. 1t was only by chance that
he happened to write story. At the
time he was i'll. Perhaps he was ex-
cited. At any rate he went home one
night. blue and discouraged and wrote
"a Little Matter of Salvage" He knew
1t was failure because he was a fail
ure and nothing profitable could come
out of his crazy head. But he sent II
to the Saturday Evening Post and In
the next mail they sent check for
$3.50. From then on Peter d. Kyne
has taken prominent place In Ameri-
can letters.

SHIMME TO THE DISCARD

New York, Aug. So--"A bas" the
shimme!
This was the war cry Of 800 of the
creme de creme of American dane
ing masters when they assembled in
their second Joint convention here.
And they are agreed that the
good old days when ballroom dancers
moved their feet in the time honored
waltz and two-step are to return.
With this exception: Little Gladys Is
to do her share of the leading" Girls
no longer are to spend their youthful
nights on the dance floors running
backwards--to crash against objects,
both animate, and inanimate, while her
gentleman friend" admires the cupids
on the ceiling.
From now on dancing is to be a
fifty-fifty proposition" said President
Wenton Bot, Dayton. o. Women are
going to do part of the leading. It is
part OF the feninism program. Besides
it Is not graceful or comfortable for a
woman to be trundled backwards in
the dance.
1.-THE first thing the dancing masters
are going to do is to ban the shimme.
That dance Is a drunken delirium. And
since prohibition has gone into effect
1t has been losing what vogue 1t did
have"

retail and wholesale farmers market; but in organizing such a market it is likely that it will appeal to different groups of farmers. and that it will be necessary to regulate the hours so there will be no conflict between wholesale and retail business among the wagons or sheds.
 Although retail farmers markets have been urged in many communities as means of reducing the cost of living, too much is often expected of them, accord ing to men who have studied the problem and who point out that all locally raised produce especially the more staple crops, such as potatoes, cabbage, onions and apples, rperesent but a small amount of the total of such products consumed by city dwelers. the bulk of which is shipped in from more distant sections. Retail farmers markets do serve as an outlet for certain amount of local produce, varying with localities. that might otherwise be left on the farm, or not produced by the farmer who depend ed upon their sources of income than fruits and vegetables
 Any community contemplating the es tabhshment of farmers retail market should first make sure that there are in that community enough farmers who are willing to haul their produce to market and dispose of it in small quantities di- rect to the consumer.

Weekly Crop Notes

F. V. Gist, field agent in Alabama for the federal bureau of crop estimates, is sues summary of weather and crop conditions, which covers the past two weeks:
 During the period named the days have been more than normally warm. some very high temperatures being experi- enced, the average being about 90. The low temperatures have been close to normal but ranging from 61 to TO- with an average of about 66. The rainfall dur ing the two weeks has been very light, less than one-half inch having fallen over the state in that time In the last six days of the period no rain has been reported from any cotton station. The weather has, therefore been wel-nigh perfect for harvesting, but has bordered close to damaging in connection with the development of some of the field crops.
 The early crop of corn was made and the weather has had only the effect of bringing the ear to the proper stage for pulling. Some late corn will fail to fully develop for lack of moisture, but on the whole the corn crop gives better promise than last season.
 Cotton has continued to fall off in prospect, due to the continued activity of the weevil and red spider, and in some instances to premature opening on ac- count of the rather high temperatures prevailing. The crOp has opened very rapidly during the past two weeks and picking is reported active in all locali- ties and unusually advanced in many.
 Peanuts do not show any better pros pect, but harvest has confirmed the somewhat light yield. Spanish nuts are we'll on the way to complete harvest Runner nuts for grazing are still de- veloping and give promise Of splendlo supply of hog and cattle feed.
 Velvet beans continue to present prom ise of heavy grazing but the grain crop will be somewhat light. A late fnost may bring better results than are now in prospect
 The past two weeks have been excei- lent for saving hay and large volume of excellent hay has been harvested The crop of peanut hay is reported as very heavy. and with good weather and care ful handling there will be large vol ume of feed available from this crop
 Sorghum and sugar cane continue to give good promise, though the iatter has not vet reached full maturity.
 The sweet potato crop Is good 10 e1- cellent, and with good harvest season will produce a large crop.
 Live stock is still reported Tn excelene condition, although the dry weather our- ing the period has frightened the pastur- age in some sections.
 On the whole the period has been all that could be desired at this tune or the year.

To keep his breeding birds in the pub breeder. as in this manner he attracts a following which either purchases his surplus breeding stock or else by word of mouth or other publicity advertises the fame and quality of this particular poultry, so that the ultimate sale of the fowl is effected. One of the greatest values of the fall fairs and poultry shows from the standpoint of the breeder is thet they furnish opportunities of advertis- ing his flock. comparing his birds with those of his associates. and profiting by the decisions of the judges Many people attend poultry shows purely because or interest in feathered stock and without any immediate intention of purchasing breeding birds However, the outstanding quality or superiority of certain' fowl may be so impressed upon their minds that later on when they decide to make pur- chases they will remember the names of breeders whose fowl they saw at the shows and will patronize then~
 Attendance at the fall fairs and poul- try shows is of particular importance to the beginner in the poultry breeding game, as it shows him the fine points of standard 5)red fowl; enables him to com pare his birds with the birds of other breeders, and gets him in contact with successful poultrymen from whom he may learn many clever points of man. agement which otherwise would cost long and costly experience.
 Although the fall fairs and poultry shows are one of the best selling med iums for the poultryman who raises breeding stock, it is also advisable that he advertise judcously in the poultry press as well as in reputable farm papers. The experiences of prominent breeders has been that it is preferable to run s'0an ads at regular intervals through out the year rather than to insert large alu, CT, se.nent only occasionly. The psy- chology of advertising is peculiar and unique in that management which pays in one instance may fail in another. Successful poultry advertising is large.y

Final Appeal

The hosticultural department of the Alabama extension service is. making final urgent appeal to the growers of sweet potatoes over Alabama to take advantage of the last opportunity of the year for the construction of sweet potato house. Alabama grows more sweet potatoes than any other state in the union, and yet some other states surpass it in the care exercised in talk ing care of the potatoes after production.
 The indications are that of the l36 potato houses pledged to the farm dem onstratjon agents and other extension employees to be built this year about sI0l will be actually constructed, with an es-
 timated capacity of 100000 bushels Yet even with this increase, the present pros
 pect is that not over 8 per cent of this valuable crop in Alabama will be prop erly housed, It is said that because of the lack of sufficient and suitable stor-
 age houses, the loss will run into hun dreds of thousands of dollars this year as 1t has in past wears.
 The present low prices on sweet pota- toes results from the flooding of the market at digging time A sweet potato
 house enables q grower to market the product at a time when it is sought after and commands a premium Many po- tato house has been paid for out of the receipts from the first crop saved As there is just about tin, enough left in which to build q simple structure. county farm demonstration agents should be notified at once of storage houses to be built so that immediate plans and as sistance may be secured
