CAMP SITE MAINTAINED

Anniston, March 1A-(Special )--Con- gressman Fred L. Blackmon. who Is spending his vacation at home, is in re- ceipt of official information to the effect that the war department does not in tend to abandon Camp Mcclellan and the announcement carries with it many important features full of benefit to the people of Anniston and Calhoun county.
 It is the present plan of the department to continue the camp site as the location for a monster storage and salvage depot. and the belief prevails that after tha. purpose is served it will be made into a permanent military post.
 The present buildings will be use for the storage of the material to be brought here from all of the other camps in the south, and after, that work IS completed the structures and other physi- cal equipment of the camp will probably be sold and replaced with substantial buildings for the housing of that part of the regular army to be stationed here.

The popular thrift campaign now be ing established in every home urges personal selection of the food supply.
 The experienced housewives in our marketing party are doing their food buying with a new thought in mind .. Many have heretofore been simply going to the store" or phoning an order or sending someone-one of the children, most likely-as matter or arduous routine. A great many, l re- gret to say, have really let their mer- chants do what little thinking was done in the transaction.
 Often the mature housewife goes into the store with her eyes shut to everything excepting the same old foods she has been buying for years she has fallen into rut. She never thinks of trying new dish. She fools herself into believing that her family likes only the same old dishes.
 One reason marketing has become a burdensome nuisance to many is that they haven't realized the wonderful possibilities for education in & simple marketing trip. Today we will all go tog ether, brides and experienced house. wives. The experienced women can
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-03-15

help the younger women by telling them which producers have stood the test of time. The younger women will help the experienced women by their enthusiasm and suggestion of new, attractice dishes
 Bulk Display Never Ideal---I recently visited several splendid looking, sani tarf markets where bulk foods were displayed under the most favorable conditions. These markets only served to impress one with the short sighted ness of the housewife If you have never seen one of these central markets, just imagine great store lined with marble food stalls. each with shiny glass protection in front and over the food.
 Ice-coated refrigeration pipes run along counters where food displayed need refrfgeration The room is airy and clean, the floor almost immaculate.
 What does this mean? It means just this--that the housewife is absolutely at the mercy of her dealer. It means that while they have found the ideal condition under which to display foods as they have them. they haven't got the base of the pure food question yet
 In no case could you tell whose goods you were buying-often the salesman didn't know. The meat was all cut in the various retail cuts and you couldn't see whether there was government inspection emblem on it or not. This sanitary display of goods loses its value when we have no way of tell ing whether the food Is fit for human consumption or not?
 We want foods that are protected from the time they leave the quality food producer until they reach our Kitchens. We want to buy foods by name, for We know that is the only way we can be sure of uniformity.
 It seems to develop that we have many things to keep in mind when we go to market today. First the general tone of the store. It must be attractively clean, have a good line of quality foods, have all foods displayed, sold and delivered under sanitary conditions. If the store is convenient and the merchant at all teach able. you will do your community last ing good by helping him to better ways. If you turn on your heel and march out, you've lost an opportunity for good work.
 Store Reflects Your Standards--We can- not get away from the fact that tho local grocery reflects the standard of women of the neighborhood. When this Is fully realized, community spirit will start an uplift campaign on local markets. Be- cause of the foregoing fact, every woman had best set her own standards. make her own unbiased selection of quality foods and insist that her dealer get them for her. When once high-olass line of food products is in a store, that store is on the right road. The housewife should continue to encourage all efforts for improvement by word of praise or a kindly suggestion.
 Always remember that the variety and quality of the food you buy play a lead ing part in the health and happiness of your family.

Saturday, May 81. Mr.. Allen of the
United States Department Of Labor,
Mr. Vinall of the United States De-
paTtI1ent of Agriculture and Mr..
Piper of Manhattan were present and
discussed the labor situation Mr.
Allen says there is big need of ad-
vertising for harvest help, especially
among the iaborers and farmers of
Arkansas, Missouri and Iowa and he
suggested that each county in the
wheat belt be assessed a small sum
toward this kind of advertising.
Mr. Allen also says unless the
wheat belt counties stand by the
wage set at Hutchinson it will make
it very hard for the labor bureaus to
direct men to the harvest fields, that
there viii be just enough men if di-
rected wisely, to handle the crop but
if reports of higher wages are turned
loose then the men viii run wild and
probably congregate where not need

Worms Attack AlfaIfa

Worms found destroying alfalfa in
many fields in this section of the state
were gathered by the Fort Hays Ex-
pertinent Station and sent in to the
State Entomologist, Prof. George A.
Dean of the Kansas State Agricul-
tural College. He Identifies them as
the ssVariegated Cut Worms He
says the best way to control these
worms is with poison bran distribut-
ed in the same manner as for grass
hoppers. This is fortunate since the
remedy will not only kill the worms
but also keep in check the many
young grasshoppers now appearing.
Professor Dean thinks that it is best
to spread the mash in the evening be-
cause the worms feed mostly at night
except in cloudy weather.
These cut worms are not apt to
migrate from the alfalfa to wheat
and other crops, according to Pro
fessor Dean, but if they should begin
TO, strip Of bran mash scattered
along the edge Of the field viii be
found effective in controlling them.
The Experiment Station finds that
worms relish the poisoned bran and
die soon after eating it.
In preparing poisoned bran, ma
terials are mixed in the following
proportions: 100 pounds Of bran, 5
pounds Paris Green, II lemons, 2
gal Molasses, and enough water to
moisten well. This amount should
be spread thinly over about 15 acres.
When thus used, the cost per acre in
eIuding labor amounts to about so
cents. The worms can soon destroy
many times that amount Of alfalfa,
or any other crop that they may at
tack
