COUNTRIES APPLE CROP
 MILLION BARRELS SHORT

The commercial apple crop in the United States is estimated by the fruit crop specialists of the United States Bureau of Crop Estimates at 23, ,072, 900 barrels, based on the grow ing condition on Sept. 1. or about l. 000,o00 barrels less than the average of production during the last three years.
 This prospect moves John $. Dem nee Louisiana field agent for the bu- reau to point out that if these bar rels were set on end and placed side by side they would extend from Bos- ton to San Francisco and back.
 Washington leads in production with 5,3s2, 900 barrels. enough to load about 21 300 freight cars. Yakima Val ley alone will ship about $500 car loads. Oregon's crop is big enough to fill about 50z8 cars against 2663 cars in 1918. and the apples promise to be of high quality and good size The New York state crop is a good deal off this year, only 2.363. 900 barrels. as compared with 5,S5o. 900 last year; but New Engiand's crop is reported better. Virginia may come to the front with 1,541 ,OeO barrels, which is about s7 per cent of what the Old Dominion pro- duced last year. Arkansas will a1- most triple her production of 1918.
 According to Mir. Dennee's cipher ing, there are at this time about 8,652,-

WARS TERRoRS SHOW IN
 FRENCH CHILDREN'S FACES

Education in northern France ceased in the autumn of 1914 It can not recommence until Germany pays the war damages to France, and France su5divides the indemnity into the proportions demanded by each de- parunent canton. and commune, for the erection and equipment of schools.
 As Germany is only expected to pay 25 miliiard francs immediately and the rest in twenty years, the most hopeful outlook for F'ranch education is one-quarter of the pre-war force and equipment within the next two decades

THOSE EXTRA APPLES

Have you ever noticed when you drive into town with a load of ap- ples to peddle about, or dispose of to the groceries. what a hungry look that man standing upon the street nearby gives you as you pull up to extra fine fruits displayed in nice crates We did says George w Brown in Farm and F'ireside, and we took a valuable lesson from that hungry look The whole fworld is hungry for good apples to eat, and all the time. We used to feel sorry when we shied glances al him with the hungry look, but our apples were all weighed up in measures ready to deliver, and we must not start in handing out, or we would run short. We caught a trick one day when packing in our orchard ~or the mar ket. Quite a few speciments were always found with little defects, over ripe or bruised just a little. These apples were more than we could use up at home, and often went to waste Next day when we took our load of apples to town, a half bushel basket Of these speciments. mellowed for ready eating, went under the seat, look with a ripe apple.
 And 1t worked better than we had suspected, for the next time we went to town with apples that hungry look meet us with order for some of our apples. Then it went still further. The grocers where we de- livered apples found out, and we did handing out ripe samples. It in crea sed their trade and therepy in creased the demand for more of our apples

SMALL GRAIN
Til1a Oa

Tluage experiments on superior red clay. as conducted at the Wiscon- sin branch experiment station at Ash land, demonstrate the superiority of deep fall blowing, especially in han ding small grain. The tillage treat ment was applied once in four years a Spaulding deep tilling machine be- ing used in comparison with six-inch fall blowing. The return showed an advantage of 1.6 bushels to the acre on a 2S-bushel barley crop, in favor of deep tilling. A marked increase in clover and timothy was noted un- der this treatment. Subsoiling com pared with fall blowing gave four bushel increase win a 30- -bushel crop.
 While fall blowing was decidedly better than spring treatment of the land in the case of small grain, clov- CT and timothy made better growth on spring ploWed land than on that

Dandruf Soon
 Ruins The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't.
 It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruf is to dissolve 1t, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandrum will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign. and trace of it.
 You will find, too that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel hundred times better You can get liquid arvon at any drug store It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need no matter how much dandruf you have. This simple remedy never. 1z1z-

PoTATo-WART DISEASES /

The potato-wart disease is a serious disease of potatoes in certain parts of Europe, and all should be interested in keeping it out of America. It has been discovered in the back yard gar dent of some of the anthracite coal miners of Pennsylvania and coun- trywide survey Is now in progress by the State Experiment Stations and the United States Department of Agri- culture to see if it exists in other To- calities.
 A peculiar outgrowth is caused by the parasitic wart fungus. The older outgrowths may resemble 8 small caulif1ower; finally, the whole inner tuber turns black and crumbles into the soil. Some of the coal miners in Pennsylvania eeared that this new potato disease might be the cause If the dreaded flu It injures only the potato but if allowed to persist will prevent the raising of potatoes in the locality affected.
 It is possible that Connecticut may have this disease, since in the year 1912 potatoes from Europe. perhaps bearing infection, were imported into the state.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

tober are the months that most of the ewes in the flock should be bred, says A. G. Skinner, sheep specialist for the Extension, sheep specialist for the Extension Service of Connecticut Az ricultural College at Storrs. r In order to secure a good lamb crop, the eve flock should be cuued and the undesirable ewes consigned to-the butcher. Ewes should be selected that First-Wen grown. healthy and spirited.
 second-sound in mouth and Milk ing organs.
 Third-From one to four years old.
 F'ourth-Covered with dense, long,
 fine wool
 Fifth-Uniform in size and breed
 ing, straight in body lines and show ing capacity for feed.
 Old ewes that have. lost their teeth and are evidently not quite able to go safely through the winter and nourish their lambs well are better consigned to the fattening pen.
 All ewes with spoiled udders should be taken out of the breeding flock. Such ewes are quite often found and to have them drop lambs without the ability to suckle them. only entails un- necessary suffering. Eve lambs un- der a year old should be removed and not bred
 Just before breeding time the ewes should have a little extra feed if grass is not abundant. The reason for ex tra care at this period is that if the ewes are in fine, thrifty condition att mating ime they will conceive more rapidly and drop a larger number of twins Another reason Is that sheep that starts into the winter in thrifty condition, comes through much stronger and on less feed than one in poor health. A handful of grain in October is worth a peck of feed to Q thin eve in January; not that the but it is essential that sheep should enter winter well fortified and strong.
 The eve carries her lamb about 147 days or roughly five monthA The ram should be turned with tie ewes so as to bring the lambs al a season management. Early lambs well nour- ished in infancy make much stronger and better sheep than late lambs Also lambs that come early can be through and marketed with less danger of being attacked by par asites, which is one of the difficulties of raising lambs in Connecticut It $ not however, for the inexperienced to raise early lambs unless he has good qr~rfers for bis flock.
 Before the breeding season the ram shouIu De entireiy separated from the ewes are in fine, thrifty condition d It ton, he should be fed regularly on oats and bran or some similar feed twice day, not enough to fatten him, but to put him in strong vigorous condition. He should not run with the ewes during the breeding season; it is better to turn home with the flock in a small yard for a short time each day.
 As soon as eve is bred, she should be ma rked and immediately turned out of the yard. The ram should not be allowed to serve more than three or four ewes each day. In this way. d strong vigorous well managed ram will easily care for forty to fifty ewes.

PRICE OF ACID PHOSPHATE

Holding that a shortage of acid phosphate does not justify the prices that are being charged by manufac- turers for this fertilizer, the United States department of agriculture has notified phosphate miners and acid phosphate manufacturers not to ad- vance the present prices of rock phosphate or bulk acid phosphate without submitting the proposed in creases together with specific data on real and unavoidable higher costs of production since June, 1919. The de- partment considers higher production costs the only possible Justification for the increases in price since June
 On July 30 the department noti- fed all acid phosphate manufacturers that in the future they would be re- quired to base the price of straight acid phosphate on the actual cost of the materials of manufacture and sale, plus a reasonable profit, as a separate commodity. and that the cost of naanufa curing mixed goods should not be prorated on the acid phosphate.

Alkali In Soap
 Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully if you want to keep your hair looking it's best. Most soaps and prepared Shampoos contain too much alkaH. This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleaxs SC the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moistcn the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich. creamy father, which rinses out cas- fly, removing every particle of dust, dirt dandruff and excessive oil The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky. bright. iustrous, nuRy and easy te uonADe.

WHAT THE COMB SHOWS

The condition of a hens comb is a direct indication of her blood circula- tion. The bullet starting to lay in the fall has a large, bright red, silky comb.
 At that time she is in the pink of condition, and her blood circulation is at it's best. As production contin- ues through the year, the comb con- tracts and expands according to the bird s blood supply anl physical con dition. The hen that shows evidence of heavy production and still has a bright red comb will probably con- tinue laying while a hen with the same indications of past production and a shrivelel comb is near the end of her period of production.
 The one exception to this rule is the hen that is physically unable to lay because of internal abnormaIities. She may always have 8 full. red comb and never lay.
