Element Of our land.
Most everybody believes that
his particular line Of work or
business or whatever it might be
is as important as anything else
or perhaps the most important
. and we are no exception to the
rule. The county press can be
of great benefit to the farmer if
properly conducted and made in
teresting and Of educational
value. The American along
with other county papers has
endeavored to be this by pub
fishing the farm news as edited
by County Agent Corwin and we
shall be glad tn continue this
work. However we wish to add
a word Of criticism here. With
all due respects to Mr.. Corwin,
realizing that he is one of the
busiest men in the county and
real little live wire. we believe
that his weekly news column
could have been bettered CON
siderable Of late. What the peo-
pie Of Pine County want is ar
tlcles written by Mr.. Corwin
himself not articles sent out by
the University or some other in
stitution be they ever so good
they want something closer to
home some actual Pine County
experiences written in Mr.. oor-
wins own words. That kind Of
articles will do far more good
and will be read with much more
interest and enthusiasm.
This is written in the most
friendly spirit toward Mr.. Cor
win and we hope it will be &C.
ceptcd as such; it is only in the
interest Of improving the Farm
Bureau service.
We believe that Mr.. Corwin
has had too much Of his time
taken up with individual help
and has therefore necessarily
neglected some of the bigger
things which can be Of assist
ance to everybody. Just think
ST how much good real helpful
and instructlng article in the
press Of the county each week
can do A man could chase all
over the county trying to tell
each individual and he wouldn't
have accomplished rs much in a
month, and this press service is
given free OF charge.
Now. it is not that we are try
ing to discredit individual sery-
Ice To the farmer no not at all
we must have some of that
and also many large meetings
addressed by the County Agent.
Only it strikes us that Mr.. Cor
win could do less travelling and
yet accomplish more for the gen
eral good Of Pine County farm
ers in smother way.
The Farm Bureau service
could also be- made more profit
able If more farmers would
come out and express their views
on the service.
We all know that no man can
work we'll with too many bosses
bat he can be advised and we
are sure that Mr.. Corwin will be
only too glad to receive friendly
advice and criticism. for he is

Road Building

Since early in 1919 there has been a steady increase each month in the fed eral aid business in the bureau of public roads of the United States department of agriculture States in all sections of the country are filing their projects and receiving allotments. The road build ing era is in full swing, and it would seem that the end is not yet. All indl- cations point to greater records in the months immediately to come
 Based on complete reports from A of the states cash expenditures on the rural roads and bridges of the United States for the calendar year 1918 amounted to $2Se, ,09s, ,195. To this should be added the value of statute and convict labor, which can not be fixed with any great degree lof accuracy but probably amounted to hot less than Sl4 COG, COG, thus making the krand total expenditures for the year k-S0E, eco G0e This total is made up of the Mutual expenditures for such items as or, materials, supervsions and admin ration directly connected with the con- lction, improvement and upkeep Of \tlic roads and bridges outside the linn bf incorporated towns and cities, and

Fall Feeding Cows

The wise dairyman will feed literally during the fall months. Cows which are not well fed at this time will go into the winter thin in flesh and with reduced milk flow It will be expensive and large ly in vain to attempt to bring them back to normal flow after they go on winter rations
 It will pay to begin feeding silage and hay early The extra feed given at this time will not only bring good. immediate returns. but affect the milk flow for the whole year by putting the COW in good condition to go through the winter months. Cows which go into the winter in good vitality, and with undiminished milk flow, are the ones which will make most economical use of the high priced feeds given them during that period Keep up the milk flow during the fall months by proper feeding It will pay you.
 Cold uncomfortable cows will not make economical use of feed. Their highly developed nervous systems are very sus- ceptible to sudden changes in tempera- ture. This should be borne in mind in the fall, when the first cold rains and cold winds come Protection from these will prevent the reduction in milk flow which they always cause Do not waste feel by letting cows stand out in cold winds and rain.

CLUB BOYS RETURN HOME

Then there came the contests for the best essays. First, "On What the Club Work Has Been Worth To My Com munity?" which was won by Talbot Tap scott, F'alkville, Morgan county. Sec ond What This Club Has Been Worth To Me- won by Wallace Carpenter, Tal- ladega, with Austin Venable of We tumpka winning honorable mention.
 And there can be no doubt but what the boys mentioned with gratitude the name of J. c. Ford, P. o. Davis and James L. Brown, assistant boys club agents, who organized and handled the boys while they were in Auburn, and es- pecially of Mrs. F. R. Yarbrough, who kept house for them in the college dormi- tory and supplied them with their daily ''eats"
 L. N. Duncan, superintendent of the junior home economies division, states that 'The 1919 short course outranks all previous ones in the following points: The boys were better organized from start to finish. The course of instruction was more systematic and better co-ordi- mated than any previous year. The boys enjoyed themselves more. were wide awake. more enthusiastic and more anX- ious to learn than they have ever been before

Seed Breeders Organize

If Alabama is to maintain the maxi mum production of field crops on the acreages eheretofore planted, special care must be taken in the selection of seed for planting the crops. In no one way can production be more largely increased than in careful attention to seed selection To emphas size the importance of this mat ter and to take such steps as may be necessary to secure uniform and con- certed acton along these lines a meet ing was called at Auburn last Monday to organize an Alabama Seed Breeders association.
 For some time past sentiment has been stirring among seed growers of cotton corn, peanuts, velvet beans and other crcps, that the pure seed movement could be greatly aided through permanent or ganization, and now the Alabama ex- tension service has taken the initiative.
 Among those who took part in the pro- gramme was Hon. M. c. Allgood, commits sioner of agricuture ]. A. Wade, ex- commissioner of agriculture; F. S. Love oe Montgomery, Matt Parkhurst of Greensboro and otherN
 There was a large attendance among those farmers who realize the importance of breeding up seed for their various crops It is hoped to so arrange that membership in the association will be of itself a guarantee of the quality of seed offered for sale

Spiced Vinegar

Spiced vinesar is used in making pickles, for flavoring gravies, potato salad, and similar dishes. For pickling it is especially valuable, as the flavor from spiced vinegar is the same all through the pickles. while if pepper. cloves and dill are added directly to the pickles the flavor is more concentrated at the places where these spices are put. The herbs from which the spiced vine- gar is made may be used as a garnish by mixing them in the pickle.
 An excellent spiced vinegar is made by filling a wide mouthed bottle or a fruit jar to within two inches of the top with spiced plants of different kinds, such as slices of horse-radish and onions, umbels of dill ripe seed of white mustard and celery, green seed of nasturtiums. fine stems and leaves of tarragon, basil and sweet marjoram. pod of red pepper may also be. added. The bottle or jar Is then filled with vinegar. heated to 160 de- grees F.. cooked or sealed and left for about three weeks. At the end of the three weeks strain the vinegar and fill in small bottles Cork and seal with -,eited paraffin or sealing wax.

 Sheep skins are bundled differently from either cattle hides or calf skins wool sides are laid down and the skins are folded along the median line of the back with the wool side out. As many as five skins folded in this manner. can be placed in a single bundle for shipment It is not advisable to pack more than this number in one bundle, as the wool helps to generate heat very rapidly. Two pieces of stout rope should then be wound around the pack from back to belly, one passing around the back DOT ton just in front of the hind legs and
  ton immediately back of the fore legs. All bundles should be tied securely, using the nautical bow line knot, as 1t does not slip easily. Bundles often become united or otherwise lose their identifica- tion marks, in which cases the railroad employees have no means of determining the identity of either shipper or con- signee, especially if there are other hide : shipments in the car. All shipments of hides should be tagged with good. strong linen tags with paper finish and brass eyelets, and all addressing should be done plainly with misunderstanding ink. Hides and skins should be shipped as soon as possible after bu ldling withou. needless exposure to sun, draft, water or rusty or corroded metals.
 Complete information regarding the best methods for skinning, curing and preparing hides for market is given in Farmers Bulletin 1055, which may be ob- tained upon request to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington. D. C.

Peanuts Attract Buyers

Practical evidence of the value of the system of marketing farm produce fol- lowed by the Alabama extension service last year is shown in a communication just received by Director J. r. Duggar from large purchaser of Alabama's 1918 crop of peanuts.
 As a necessary preliminary to con- ducting an efficient system of marketing last fall it was found desirable to have adopted a uniform standard of grades for the benefit of both buyer and seller. It will be remembered that Alabama extension service devoted much time In the summer of 1918 to the formulation of a standard on commercial grades of pea nuts and that these were discussed and adopted last October by a convention held in Montgomery, composed of growers, crushers and other buyers of peanuts. The extension service, through it's field agents in the marketing division and through farm demonstration agents over the state, located quantities of peanuts and helped the farmer find the most profitable market therefor, determining the grades and weighing the shipments for him.
 And now comes this letter fpom the largest importers of table oil in America, with offices in London, Genoa, Barce- Iona, Fortosa and smyrna, which says:
 we purCnaSeQ last year very ldTSe quantity of peanuts in your state, which oonvinces us that Alabama produces some high-grade peanuts. even though we were on the verge of ordering our buyers to stop further purchasing in Alabama
 Due to the above we are looking Nr- ward to buying peanuts again in your state, through the same sources, that is by having the cooperation with the field agents. who are able to have two or more farmers pool their shipments in order to get carload"
 Acceptance of weights and grades Of the Alabama extension service by the purchasers of peanuts is tribute to the efficiency and integrity of the ser vice, as we'll as valuable asset to the peanut growers of Alabama.
 It is a part of the plan or the man. agement of the extension service to con- tinue this fall the arrangements which proved so satisfactory last year Tn the marketing of this important crop.

Alabama Marketing Wool

Another crop is just coming into promi- hence in Alabama. Owners of sheep are beginning to market their wool, usually pooling their product in a cooperative shipment. This has recently been done in Russell county, R. w. Turnipseed, county demonstration agent, assisting in the sale, and in Washington county, where H. H. Best is the demonstration agent
 Report has just been filed of the most recent sale, joint one for the farmers of Baldwin and Escambia counties. G. V. Stelzenmuller of Bay Minette is farm demonstration agent of Baldwin county and H. H. Williamson of Brewton in Es- cambia county. For several weeks these agents have announced that a wool sale would take place at Atmore and farm CTS were urged to bring in their product On the 23d inst about B farmers respond ed, pooling about O000 pounds in all. Lots varied all the way from 40 pounds to 1000 pounds, the little growers getting as much approximately as the large growers Ward Bros, who have about 5000 head of sheep, sold over two tons. bringing about s240o.

Marketing on Increase

Southern women who raise poultry are learning through the clubs organized by the United States department of agri- culture and the state colleges to market their products comparatively and are reaping the benefits which result from this method of selling. The members of the egg circles guarantee the freshness of their eggs and cater to class of cus- toners who are willing to pay extra for this guarantee In 1918 over half mill lion eggs were marketed collectively by club members. This represents value of s233, ,746. Cooperative poultry breeding associations are also popular among the women of the south. Last year 94 new breeding associations were organized and g, ,922 fowls were sold for breeding pur- poses by members of these clubs. The standard-bred roosters sold brought $a.- 96S The work is not only valuable be- cause of the improved stock of poultry which is being raised in the neighbor- hoods where the clubs are located and the increased cash income, but because these clubs are instrumental in giving the farm women and girls better busi- ness training. This results in the estab- lishment of confidence in cooperation, both as to production and marketing.
