Kill Bugs, Save
Uncle Sam $4,000

In treating one lot of rice and one
lot of beans the Navy, acting upon
tie advice of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, saved the
Government about 81 times as much
money as will be appropriated for all
stored products insect work during
the coming fiscal year under the re
ccmmendation to Congress of the
Committee on Agriculture.
The Navy bought 1,530.492 pounds
of rice for s11,19o24. 1t was found
to be slightly infested with the rice
weevil, and steps were taken to sal
wage it and sell it at loss of s53,
1868. Instead, however, the Bureau
of Entomology of the Department of
Agriculture recommended treatment.
The rice was reconditioned at a cost
of s12.733.69, after which it was sold
for S103,30821. The saving to the
Government was $33,1S1.07.
Another purchase was 1,322,614
pounds of navy beans for s122,541.79.
They were infested with bean weevils
and were about to be sold by the
salvage department for s66.130.70.
Instead, they were reconditioned at
the suggestion of a Department of
Agriculture specialist at cost of
s9.25S.30. After being reconditioned
they were sold for s119,o3526. The
saving effected by the treatment was
s43,646.26.

Garden Seeds are
Plentiful and Cheap

Indications that there is a plentiful
supply of garden seeds this spring,
with the possible exception of GER
tain varieties of peas is contained in
reports received by the Bureau of
Markets, United States Department OF
Agriculture from representative seed
and mail-order business. Study of
several mail-order catalogues indi-
Gates that in the majority of cases
the prices of seeds are less than for
the past two years, the greatest re-
dIction being for cabbage seed.
Marked reductions are also shown in
the prices for garden beet. carrot.
onion, spinach and English and
Swedish turnip seed. An increase of
about IS per cent is noted in the
price for garden peas, while similar
increases are shown in muskmelon,
summer and winter squash, and to-
mato seed This condition should
prove favorable to extensive garden
planting, which is urged by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Replies to inquiries addressed to
repres tentative seed dealers showed
that a few in industrial centers, par
ticularly in the East, were selling
from l to 80 per cent less seed than
last year The cause, apparently, was
the shortage of labor on truck farms.
Compared with normal conditions be-
fore the war, the reduction in these
eastern centers ranges from 10 to As
per cent.
On the whole the sales to home gar
deners seems to be larger than those
of last year, ranging from per cent
increase in some sections to so per
cent in others. Dealers in the most
northern cities were unable to report
adequately because the season had
not advanced sufficiently at the time
replies were sent in.

Can the Cash Crops Be
Produced at a Real Profit

Are the crops and live stock the
farm is producing for sale to the
nonproducers of the community or for
export to other communities such as
can be made profitable when produced
and sold locally or exported?
The best guide here, says the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, is the practice of the com.
munity; enterprises should be adopted
that are found generally on its farms
A limited demand from the nonpro-
ducers of the community for some pro-
duct not generally grown locally, and
for which many local farms are not
adapted, will sometimes afford a few
farms opportunity for expansion.
For instance. the plan suggested by

The seeretary-treasurer kept accounts
and settled with the member the week
following the sales. Turns were
taken In carrying the eggs to town.
This circle still exists, and as time
has gone on has broadened it's field
Of cooperation. Now it sells butter
as well as eggs, and the members
buy many of their supplies cooper
atively.
Other communities in the county
have taken up the idea, and some of
them are doing even bigger things
than the original group. Two of the
other Circles" have a membership
of 60 each. Besides increasing their
own incomes the members of an, egg
circle" put better class of eggs on
the market. The social and educa-
tional feature of the Circle" are also
considerable.
The two largest "circles" in Lee
County ship most of their eggs direct
ly to Memphis. In 1919 they Melted
$500 over what they would hav ere
ceived on the local market for their
products.
The Shannon 'circle" last year sold
Sc, 831.10 worth of eggs; and the Bald.

S6,304.30 worth. These two Circles"
in II months time marketed 28,746

were only eight members at first, but
the number soon increased to 20.
The circle adopted certain rules,

eggs once or twice daily, to stamp

a growing increase in the demand, of

Kill Many Rabid
Animals In West

That the killing of wild animals al
Gicted with rabies is an important
phase of the work carried on by the
Bureau of Biological Survey, United
States Department Of Agriculture, Is
indicated by reports received from the
bureaus skilled hunters in the West.
IN western regions where predatory
animals are found both human life
and live stock are seriously menaced
when rabies appears. In Washington,
for example, one of the hunters re-
ported that a rabid coyote had attacked
two boys sleeping in a haystack and
had badly torn the bedquilts covering
them before he was driven off. In
oregon young woman was set upon
by a rabid coyote, which finally ian
into a store, where it was shot. The
following day three school children
on horseback in the same locality were
attacked by another coyote, which
they succeeded in killing at serious
risk to themselves. On a farm near
Olympia, Wash. Eve head of cattle,
one hog, and four dogs were killed
because they were afflicted with ra
bies.
A hunter In Bannock County, Idaho,
stated that he was endeavoring to To-
cate rabid coyotes in his region, be
lieving them responsible for the loss
of many cattle In that visinity which
had gone mad In five of the North
western States there was a very seri-
GUS outbreak of rabies In 1914 (be-
fore Federal control measures were
instituteO, and as a result more than
1900 people were bitten and over so
died. While the disease still exists
in scattered localities. the Federal
measures undoubtedly are very large
ly responsible for the prevention of
its general spread throughout the west
ern range States.

Three-fourths of War
Workers Let Out Have
BeenRe-en,pLoyedHere

approximately rs per cent of the
employees discharged from Govern
mont departments in Washington
since the signing OF the armistice
have. been re-empioyed In this city.
according to an estimate made today
by the Civil Service Commission.
II has been calculated that the Gov
ernment personnel In Washington has
been reduced $4,000 since November
1918 OF this number a few thousa nd
voluntarily left the service with the
conclusion OF the war. However, the
greater percentage who lost their po-
sitions by the cutting OF wartime
forces have eagerly sought and found
employment In some other bureau,
principally the internal revenue, PEN
sion and other departments.
The discharge OF approximately
5000 employees from the War De-
partment and the probable cutting OF
personnel In other Government de-
partments in the future will not ma
terially reduce Washington's popuia-
ton, according TO the Civil Service
Commissions policy OF re-employ-
ment.
Furthermore, there will be about
5000 vacancies created by the lat
ter part OF August through the re-
tirement OF employees under the pro-
visions of the Sterling hlbach bill.
which was signed Monday by Presi-
dent Wilson and becomes effective in
ninety days.
Civil Service Commissioner George
r. Wales. when asked today as TO
the prospects of large numbers of en-
ployes leaving this city. explained
that the commissions policy OF re-
employment was still in force and
would be followed.
Immediately after the signing OF
the armistice," said Wales, "the com
mission procured authority from Presi-
dent Wilson 10 act as clearing
house for employees.
Since that time probably rs or SO
per cent OF employees discharged in
departments have been re-employed
in various other departments.
"The commission aimed to re-employ
workers rather than bring any more
into this city. OF course. many en-
ployes went home at the conclusion
OF the war: in fact, more than we ex-
pected would 60. We are continuing
to urge upon the departments the
policy OF unemployment whenever
