fprenared by the United States Depart

An assistant county agent in Middle

farmers selling produce at one or the
community markets took no pains 10
make their goods attractive to pu:-
cbosers. On several occasions the
agent was able to help farmers make
better displays of products.
An instance occurred nj Hnverhiii.
One morning the agent asked u farm
or how his tomatoes were selling nnd
was told that practically no sales We're
being made. An examination showed
that the box of tomatoes was partly
hidden by other products and that The
box showed some bruised. some poor
Nv coIored, and an oc,nsiona'
spec,ked tomato. The lot as whole,
however, consisted of well-shAped,

HEADING BACK APPLE TREE
Time to Begin Work When Tree Has
Reached Height Of 10 or 20 Feet,
Which Is Limit.

When an apple tree has reached a
height of Is or 20, feet it is time to
begin heading back. This height Is
about the limit up to which good
spraying can be done. and picking
becomes more hazardous in trees al
lowed to exceed 1t. 1t is better to
limit the height of the tree than to let
it grow higher for few years and
then cut back. The cutting back should
be made on wood three or four years
old and just above strong lateral
branches which can supply sufficient
leaf surface and bearing wood.
If old trees have been neglected
and allowed to grow with little or no
pruning for number of years head

MORE ATTENTION TO
STACKING OF STRAW
Conserve Valuable Source Of
Roughage and Bedding.
Stacks Should Be Constructed to Shed
Rain and Finished by Rounding
on Top-ealing Direct From
Thrashcr Saves Time.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Care in stacking straw at thrashing
time preserves 1t for use as roughage
for live stock and for bedding and may
also prevent scourges of biting flies,
known as stable flies. Most of the
stable flies which sometimes appear In
great numbers breed In fermenting
straw. The department urges that
more attention than usual be given to
caring for the straw this season.
AS only small part of the straw
produced in the grain belt can be baled
Immediately or placed under cover to
prevent weathering, straw stacks
should be built so that they will shed
rain. One or two men should spread
the straw eveniy-ove the stack. tramp
it, and keep the sides straight. The
blower should also be regulated to OBJ
tain even distribution of the straw
over the stack. The stack should be
finished by rounding off the top and
hauling away or spreading thinly any
loose straw that may be left around

the base. Baling the straw direct
from the thrasher saves time and pre-
vents possible injury from weatherlng,
but the expense of baling Is too great
to justify it's common use. II the straw
is baled after stacking, any part which
is spoiled should be spread as manure
or should be burned.
Stable flies prefer to breed In Oat
straw. but may breed in wheat, barley,
or rice straw. In nearly all serious
outbreaks 1t has been found that the
straw in which the flies bred was not
stacked properly and that II was
soaked by heavy rains which fell soon
after thrashing. In many cases the
stacks were wet completely through
and thus spoiled for feeding.
Stable flies also breed in horse ma
nurc. especially in strawy manure, so
that hauling the manure and spreading
it on the fields helps to reduce their
number and prevent annoyance to
horses and cattle. AS house flies also
breed in manure, hauling the manure
from the stables and yards aids In
keeping down this pest.

The range of this pest covers large
portion Of the United States, but 1t is
not found extensively or In especially
injurious numbers near the Rocky
mountains. 1t abounds from New Eng
land and Canada to Florida, westward
to Texas, and in the northern Pacific
region, where 1T has become trouble

plants. gso After passing the winter in
the ground, the beetles usually appear
at about the same time as the potato
plants, lay their eggs. and continue
feeding. They often destroy small
areas. especially those grown for gar
den purposes. When the "slugs" of
the first crop begin their work they
usually finish up that begun by the
overwintered beetles, leaving only bare
stems, which become dry and black.

beetles attack eggplant and other

CIVIC SERVICE

Community Betterment and Gill
zenshIp, So. AmbOy Plan
Bu special correspondent.

SOUTH AMBOY, Sept. 9:-An ef-
fort Is being made In this city to con
tinue the work formerly done by the
War Camp Community Service under
the new head of Community Service.
The value Of a united community was
demonstrated during the war when
the entire city united to put over"
the Liberty Loan and Red Cross
drives. The idea of community serv-
Ice is to have something in common
to all people of the city. They boost
civic movements of all kinds and
tend to make a cleaner and better
city. Citizenship Is one of their big
gest works.
There is already established in this
city a clubhouse hat in the future
could be used for a community house.
At the present time 1t Is occupied by
the War Camp Community Service
and Company + where the Service
Club is conducted.
It has been suggested by a worker
In this city that the community serv-
ice be started in this city on a small
scale. That the new high schoo
, auditorium be secured once a week
or once a month where a community
sing could be held. The local band
could be secured, perhaps, and to-
gether with two or three four-minute
speeches on timely subjects would
make a most enjoyable evening.
