Plum Pudding Harry

able TO secure. But though he made
these changes in his mothers meth

tremendous respect for the good

brought that recipe from the old

And this was said with such a
mingling of sweetness and contempt
that Harry was filed with two

the girl who had spoken thus and

had tempted him apart from the

GROW YOUR OWN LATE PO-
TATOES-THERE'S TIME

There is still a Glance TO grow :,
crop of potatoes, according to j. T.
Rosa Jr. of the University of Mis-
souri,, College Of Agriculture. The US
ual planting Of ca"ly potatoes was pre-
vented or delayed in many places this
year by the cold, wet weather, and re-
ports from other sections do not ildi-
cate that potatoes will be very plenti-
ful. Therefore. every gardener
should grow a late crop of potatoes
sufficient at least for the home sup
ply.
Experiments the last two years have
shown that late potatoes can be grown
quite successfully in central Missouri.
for north Missouri, the planting date
is the last week in June, or central and
south Missouri the first two weeks in
July. Seed potatoes should be kept
in cold storage until planting time ar
rives, or they may be kept by spread
ing out thinly on TIE floor of light
room. "New" or early potatoes
should not be used for planting tie
late crop. except i'll the extreme
southern part of tie state. Thirty
varities tested ut Columbia have given
fair stand in most cases and have
produced fGir to good yields. Three
varities have given especially good re-
suits. namely, Mccormick, Pcachblow,
and Banner. Other late varitics have

ARMY WORMS KILLED BY
POISON BRAN BAIT

Poison bran bait is being used sue
cessfully turnout the infested areas of
Missouri in the control of the army
worm. Various county agents are re-
porting to the Extension Service of
the Missouri College of Agriculture
the success of the treatment. In st.
Louis county the agent gave demon
strations to the farmers as rapidly as
possible, mixing a small amount of
bait and scattering before the worms,
letting the farmers see the results.
This was sufficient to encourage them
to complete the work on their own
farms. At one of these demonstra-
tons as many as fifty worms were
counted on square foot in a tim
othy meadow. The bait method, this
agent reports. is killing all worms
where it is APPLIED and costs less than
fifty cents an acre for material. BY
using in time the whole crop can be
saved, which means several thousand
dollars to the county.
In Mississippi county, it was found
that when the poison bait was put
out late in the evening it was most
effective. A deep furrow was plow-
ed in advance of the worms, turning
the furrow toward them, thus making
barrier. The first row of poison
bran was scattered in the bottom of
the furrow and at intervals of four
to six feet and on the outside Of the
| furrow two more rows Of the poison
worms were checked for a short time
by the first furrow. On finding the
moist bran they eat a part of it
These not killed by the bait in the first
row Of defense will probably eat some
of the poison in the second, and the
same is true Of the third. An attempt
is made to remove as nearly as pos
sible all vegetation so that in then
travels the worms will find nothing tt
eat except poison bait. Going owe,
the field shortly after the bait was
!spread it was found that the worm!
were killed.

bred live stock in the county is worth
a half million dollars. The average
sale price of purebred cattle last year
in the county was $3.50, of hogs $3.50,
A breeders directory, carrying fifty
two pages of purebred live stock ad-
vertising, is on the press. There are
more than three thousand purebred
animals in the county. These are a
few points in the SUMMARY of the
years work of the Association made
by the county agent in a recent meet
ing of the organization.

mott, veteran Shorthorn breeder and
owner of Marshal Joffre, the only
Shorthorn calf that ever won the
