This year a part of the peach crop may be better graded at less expense than heretofore by use of a new sizer developed by government workers. Two machines were built last year and test ed under commercial conditions at Leesburg, Va, and Mayfield. Ga. h. formation gained through these tests was used in perfecting the present machine, drawings of which are now available to all growers or manufac- turers interested. according to an- nouncement by the bureau of markets.
 The machine has several unique fea- lures and advantages over existing types of sizers which make it possible to handle fruit with less bruising. while its construction permits 10 to 15 packers to work at one time, thus mak- ing possible a run Of two to three car loads of peaches a day from each ma chine, the amount depending on the average quality of the fruit. The over all dimensions of the machine are 24x1b feet. It requires an electric motor of less than one horsepower ca- puSllgp ot d 5n1nh &n5 cukLncv GO Op~~ rate it. and it can be run at half ca pacity if desired. Under commercial conditions 1t should be sold at a price not to exceed s4b0. according to esti- mates of the designers.
 How lt Worea
 The peaches from the orchard are delivered on an inclined roller convey or, on each side of which sorters stand and pick out culls and damaged fruit The rotation of the peaches on this conveyor, which is obtained without bruising, enables the sorters to see the entire surface of the fruit without touching it. From this roller convey or the peaches are delivered to two sets of ropes running over pulleys. A simple lever arrangement permits the adjustment of the spaces between these ropes to accommodate any size fruit 1t Is desired to grade Although the ropes diverge from each other un- der ordinary operating conditions,

Fall seeding of oats has numerous advantages over spring seeding, where the fall-sown varieties can be successfully grown, as in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alaba- ma, Florida, Mississippi, and Louisi- ana; in Virginia and North Carolina, except in the Piedmont and noun tain sections; and in southern and eastern Texas, announce specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, in Farmers Bulletin 1119, entitled "Fall-Sown Oats."
 Under the climatic conditions in those States the fall-sown crop usu- ally yields better and natures earli- CT. The land can usually be pre- pared in better shape in the fall than in the spring. Fall seeding inter feres less with other work. Poorer land and less fertilizer can be used. The fall-sown crop furnishes cover for the soil during the winter and prevents washing.
 The bulletin sets forth the varie- ties of oats that can best be grown in the South and details the soils and fertilizers that should be used. It, is recommended that, wherever possible, oats should follow culti- vated crop. One of the best rota- tions for the cotton-growing section is: First year, cotton; second year, corn with cowpeas planted at the last cultivation; third year, fall sown oats, followed by cowpeas. Outside the cotton-growing section . good rotation, including oats, is: First year, corn with cowpeas in the corn; second year, oats, with clover or grass seeded in the oats third year, meadow or pasture. Other arrangements are also sug- gested.
 The bulletin details the prepara- tion of the land, the preparation of seed, the treatment of the seed for smut, the sowing of the seed, meth ods of seeding, treatment of the land after seeding, methods of harvesting and the utilization of the crop.

ELIMINATION OF ANT HILLS
Effective Plan Is to Punch Holes in Mounds and Apply Carbon BlsuI-
 phide on Cotton.

Ant hills may be eliminated by punching holes in them and placing cotton, which has been wet with car~ bon bisulphide, in them The fumes of this material penetrate the hills and kill the ants. Keep the material away from an open flame as it is very ex- plosive.

Keeping Aluminium Bright

Aluminium does not tarnish easily in ordinary use, but one caution should be observed in cleaning. Alkalis discolor aluminium; therefore it should not be washed with strong soap, nor should securing powders containing free alkai be used on it. Deterioration on aluminium may be rubbed off with whiting or fine steel wool (grade 0O), or dissolved by the acid in vinegar, or by dilute oxalic acid. These acids must be thorough ly washed off the aluminium. Some special preparations for cleaning aluminium are on the market.

INFERTILE EGGS KEEP BEST
Under Normal Conditions They May Be Stored for Period of Four to
 Five Weeks.

Infertile eggs will keep under nor maj conditions at a temperature of 60 to so degrees for a period of four or five weeks, while on the other hand fertile eggs often become unfit for ta- ble use in only few days.

OUR FARMERS CORNER

ar can be used in making jelly and jams, experiments made by house. hold experts in the United States Department of Agriculture expert mental kitchen indicate.
 Another sugar-saving wrinkle tested by the experiment kitchen is to add one-quarter teaspoon of salt to each cup of fruit juice for jelly or pulp for jam, marmalade, and conserve. Tn the case of nonacid fruit this makes the absence of the full amount of sugar less noticeable. The salty taste will disappear after the product has stood for few weeks, but the flavor will be much the richer for the addition of the salt. Salt was so used in England during the war, and the method sug- gested was based on reports of the process.
 With fruits of pronounced flavor, or where lemon and orange peel or spices are used for flavoring those with mild flavor, various sirups take the place of part of the granulated sugar. Usually half and half is the proportion used in substitution.

Fixing Hog Prices i'm Bushels

Measuring the prices of a hog in bushels of corn, instead of in dollars is form of applied mathematics used by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture in keeping tab on prices of farm products. Theore- tically 100 pounds of live hogs should be worth about 13 bushels of corn. The ratio varies. 1t is generally highest in the corn belt and lowest in New England, the far South, and the far West. At the present time the ratio is unusually narrow-that is, 100 pounds of hogs is not worth as many bushels of corn as usual. The department draws the inference that during the next 12 months hogs will advance more than corn or corn will decline more than hogs.

Wants Down State Teams to

Games With Locals.

That down-State teams viii have to

secure games with local teams is the
opinion voiced in letter received today
by Every Evening. In the communica-
tion the writer expresses hope that the
local clubs will stick together in their
demands The letter follows:
Sporting Editor, Every Evening: IL
is time that the Independent teams of this
city, such ms Grace, Defiance. Lorraine,
Highland, and the many others, are
waking up to the fact that the out-of-
town teams. mainly the down-State teams,
arc coughing up for first-class baseball
In the past it has always been hard
proposition for any local team to get the
expenses of train fare, Let alone the many
other inCidentals pertaining to furnish
ing first-class baseball team.
Let the local clubs stick together. in
their just demands for reasonable
guarantee. such as the Lorraine A. A. is

Gets Broken Leg.

Friends School nine received a crush

IN the seventh inning when Lester, of the
Winning team. sustained a broken leg
while sliding 10 second base.
In the first inning seven errors. three
passes and one hit brought in nine runs
and the local team at no time thereafter
had a chance.
Long pitched an excellent game for a
voungster who made his first appearance
IN mtcrscholastic ball, but he was poorly
supported by his teammates, both in
fielding and in spirit.
The team was noticeablv weak in the
inhcld Wild throws and poor fielding being

the defects which yesterday game has
shown and the team will probably pull out
of the slump which has marked the last

players. who. for lack of practice and
