AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION

Our Attitude Towards Education
What is to be the status of educa-

mately concerns the welfare of every
man, woman and child in America.
The greatest war in the history of
the world has been closed by an
armistice from which it is hoped a
permanent and lasting peace may. be
evolved. When this is done we face
the great period of reconstruction.
Our point of view, our purpose, our
motives, our desires, our hopes have
all been changed more or less by the
event of the past four and a half
years. The new impressions that
may be temporary or permanent.
Some of them will be helpful and en-
nobling, others will exert on opposite
influence. We must be careful,
therefore, to seek out the good and
worthy and perpetuate them in our
national idealiSm. If we do this our
nation should grow strong and main
tain it's .yiriIity, its open-mindness,
its 1ndlvidualism and hence its ma
tlonal strength. Education of the
right type, therefore is to become our
national mentor and guide in the i'm
mediate future.
Should we change then basis of the
instruction we have previously car
ried on? Should we add to or take
away from the practices of the past?

we eliminate as worthless? These
constitute some of the most lmpor-

T. Vinegar is one of the condiments
which every good cook regards as a
necessity on her pantry shelves. Used
with discretion, food to which it is
addede will be transformed into a
relish and will give zest to an other

groceries, vinegar has gone up in
price since the great war, until in
many parts of the country SO to

market price. The making of vine
gar at home is a simple process and
not many years ago was practiced by
nearly every one who could obtain
the necessary fruit juice. With the
present high price of vinegar there
has been a revival of this old house

strong, satisfactory vinegar. ;.
Fruit used for making vinegar
should be sound and fully ripe, for
ripe fruit contains more sugar and
consequently produces a stronger

Pike County Hog Sales i
Association Formed

Pike county (Alabarna) hog grow
ers have gotten together and organ
ICED sales association through
which they expect to market their
product the coming fall. Cooperative
marketing organizations generally
exist throughout the hog growing
counties in the state now as farmers
have found that this method of
disposing of their product is by all
odds the most satisfactory. Seven
ty-five farmers responded to the call
Of Farm Demonstration Agent J. E.
Moses at Troy, who in cooperation
with W. D. Barton, district demon
marketing specialist from Auburn,
explained the plan Of similar organi-
cations elsewhere.
Twenty-Five farmers signed a joint
note borrowing $4,000 with which to
erect Immediately the necessary pens
was loaned through the First Ma
tional Bank without interest. A tax

Of, the first shipment of hogs-will
take care of the note III a short time.
By mfd-winter they expect to have
$50 members in the organization. A
board of directors was elected who
will select the sales manager, weigh
er and grader. A committee on MEM
bership was appointed and it is ex-
pected that a car of hogs will be
ready for the initial shipment by Oc-
tober list
Two years ago an attempt was
made to organize an association of
this character, but at that time To-
cal buyers combined to pay farmers
temporarily a premium of two to
three cents over what could be got
ten on the st. Louis market and this
frustrated the plans for cooperative
sales. AS a result, it. is claimed that
hogs were late purchased in and
around Troy that year at 2 to 4c
pound under what other communi-
ties were getting. The Alabama ex-
tension service is organizing similar
associations through its marketing
division NhareNer nOSSible.

In Order to Trap Success 'sfulIy, Learn
" ... .4 Habits of the Animals You Are After

Frequently a boy, eager to begin
trapping, gets the idea that trap
ping is the simplest thing in the
world'-that all he has to do is buy a
trap, set it somewhere and wait for
the animals to walk in. ...t
Trapping is easy-but it requires a
little patience and study. Any bright
boy or girl interested enough to take
+ the pains to do so can become a very
fair .trapper in a few weeks or
months.
Trapping is simply pitting your
wits against the wits of animals
which for thousands Of years have
known man to be their greatest
enemy.
Therefore, when you plan to trap
there are several things for you to
DO, The first is to familiarize your
self with every hill, nook stream and
woodland in your vicinity where ami
mails. make either temporary or per-
manent homes. Then when the sea-
son opens and the animals appear
you can, figuratively speaking. put
your finger on the places where OF
ter, mink, skunk, weasel or other
species would be most likely to be
found :" 1872
:. Next study the habits of the ami
mails themselves whenever the op-
portunlty presents itself Learn
what they like to eat, when they breed
now they travel, when their fur is
shedding and whether they are wary

you will be better able to trap them:

THE JUNE WEDDING.

Hear the sounds of silvery laugh
ter echoing thru the rooms, catch
the eXcitedly whispered conversa-
, lions, listen to the rustling of silks
what's it all about, anyhow?
Can't you guess?
Almost anyone ought to see at

Sisters getting ready for her June
wedding
Yes she's going to leave the old
home and the preparations for the
important event are in full blast.
Brother makes alleged humorous
remarks about the preparation of
his outfit-he's"to be best man, you
knOw-and he wants to know when
the tailors can come and begin cut
ting and sewing on his new suit.
Father steps softly and carefully
thru the living room to his favorite
chair in the library-he knows what
wailing and gnashing of teeth there
, would be if he inadvertently stepped
on a valuable. bit of lace dropped on
the floor in the rush and furry.
And the kid, otherwise known as

gown to his own great glee and the

It's a happy time of course, but
every now and then mother looks
! Just a trifle wistful.

f; through all the books in the library
and picks out those that are hers.
+ She piles them in neat heap and
says she's going to take them with
: her to the new house. q
J. 1t makes the library shelves look
rather bare-almost as tho the fam
lily was breaking up housekeeping
Then sister, sorts out the other
things that are hers. ~ 1t gives a
queer, different atmosphere to the
things when she does this.
No wonder mother looks wistful.
But sister smiles and pats moth
ers' rather sad countenance and
says:
Never mind mother, l am not
really leaving the old home, you
know. I am going to live SO close
by that it will be just the same as
ever. I'll be home with you all just
the same as ever"
Mother smiles wisely, but says
nothing. She knows it will never be
the same. You see, she went through
all this and felt just the same as
sister does, when she prepared for
her own wedding, many years ago.
