FAST WIRE SERVICE
GIVES PROMPT NEWS
Information Is Vital to Intelligent
Food Distribution.
TeIeuraphIc Reports Sent From Big
Market Centers Every Fifteen
Minutes During Day-Much
SpoiIaQe 10 Avoided.

The federal bureau Of markets news
services on live stock and meats, hay,
feeds, and seeds, and dairy products,
and fruits and vegetables, are de-
signed to keep before producers, dis
tributOrs, and consumers a picture Of
the movement of important crops to
market, the supplies arriving in all of
the principal consuming and distribut-
ing centers and the wholesale prices
prevailing in each. To make its re-
ports of the greatest practical useful
ness, the bureau has equipped itself
with the fastest system of communi-
cation available. Its branch offices in
the great consuming and distributing
markets are connected with leased
telegraphed lines and operated by bu-
reau telegraphers. These wires are
busy from eight to twelve hours a day
in the transmission Of market infor-
nation which is vital to intelligent
and systemSSdc food distribution.
From the time the live stock mar
kets open In the morning until the
close Of the days business, the bu-
renu's representatives at Chicago.
Kansas City, Omaha and East ST.
Louis send out a Geographic report
from one or the other Of these mar
kets every Is minutes. The sales Of
live stock IN the Chicago yards alone
average more than 100000 a day
and the value of the live stock sold in
the public stock yards of this country
Is more than $4,000, 100000 annually
figures indicating the Importance Of
supplying information that Is authori-
tative.
When a market is oversupplIed with
neutrality-suspicious. highly per-
ishable fruit or vegetable great
waste results. The product spells and
becomes unfit for use and the dealers
suffer a financial loss on account Of
this spoilage and also on account of
the fact that they must sell their
stocks at sacrifice In order to dis
pose of them at all. Gluts of this kind
used to occur frequently and were
nearly always coincident with scare
ity of food in another place. Since
the market news service on fruits and
vegetables was instituted. this situa-
ton has improved materially.

prepared by tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
To get the most out Of the home
garden number Of crops, such as
snap beans, beets, lettuce, radishes
and peas, should be planted at inter-
walls to insure n continuous supply In
the case of snap beans as many as FIVE
paintings may be made In some Sec
tons of the country. In the southern
part OF the United States special at
tention should be given to the late
planting of the semihardy crops for
late fall and winter use. These crops
include spinach, kale, cabbage, COL
lards, turnips lettuce and winter
onions. The late-planted crops gen.
orally give the best vegetables for
winter storage. Beans, peas, carrots
and beats for canning purposes should
be grown either very early In the sea-
son or quite late, In order to get the
finest quality Of canned goods. A late
planted crop of snap beans often
yields an abundant supply Of very
tender pods which ore ready for cam
ming just before the first frosts. These
usually make better quality Of
canned product than do those grown
at time when they mature during
the heated portion of the season.
Too much stress cannot be placed
upon the need for gardeners to pro-
duce Irish potatoes during the remain
der of the season. 1t Is now time to
begin thinking about planting a late
crop in sections where late CROP is
grown. In the southern part of the
United States late crop may be
planted in J~lu or August, provided
enough moisture Is in the ground to
give the seed a start.
Gardeners are advised to plant the
standard crops and varieties, leaving
the fancy kinds Of vegetables and the
novelties off their list.
Throughout the greater portion of
the South a very excellent crop OF
The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1920-08-06

sweet potatoes may be grown by TAX
ing vine cuttings from those that have
been previously planted and inserting
these in ridges in place of rooted
plants. The sweet potatoes grown
from vine cuttings are usually free
from disease and are smooth and uni
form, making them very desirable for
winter storage.
In many sections peas can be plant
ed as late as September and will yield
very nice crop before cold weather
sets in. For this purpose the early
or quick-maturing sorts should be
used.
Can or Store Vegetables.
Large quantities of garden vegeta-
bles are lost through want of suitable
means Of taking care of the surplus
This can be done either by canning or
by storage, depending upon the kind
of vegetable to be cared for. The Sc
cret of filling the pantry shelves with
canned goods is to can little every
day during the season when vegeta-
bles are plentiful in the garden. Stor-
age facilities either in the form of a
special room In the cellar or suitable
outdoor storage pit should be provided.
In few instances arrangements with
the local cold storage or ice factory for
the partitionng off Of a small compart-
ment In their ice storage room in which
vegetables that should be stored at a
temperature near the freezing point
may be kept. This class of storage Is
especially desirable for apples and
Irish potatoes. Sweet potatoes should
always be stored in warm place and
given plenty of ventilation.
In planning the garden operations
for the balance Of the season, it Is well
10 take into consideration all OF the
above features. First. grow the kind
OF vegetables that are needed for can
ming and storage; and, second, make
provision to can or store all that are
not needed for immediate use.

BOUND TO DELIVER SPEECH
Guest at Banquet Must Have Some
what Astonished the Rest of
the Gathering.

There was to be banquet at an
indianapolis church and one of the
parishioners felt sure that he would
be called on for speech. Realizing
how poor he was at imprOmptu
speeches he accordingly made ready
for this occasion by writing one and
then memoriZing it.
The night of the banquet came and
after rehearsing his speech to his
proud wife the parishioner went to
church, elated over his forethought.
The crowd assembled and gathered
around the table. And then-then the
minister called on the parishioner to
say grace"
For minute he was appalled-also
his wife. But bravely he rallied and
began to compose grace. He gave
one sentence, hesitated and then to
his wife's horror plunged into the
middle of his speech. He finished it,
too. OF course every one was amazed,
his wife most of all, for you see he
even used his practiced gestures.

Hits the Stomach Hardest

Chicago, nl.-Hot weather upsets
the strongest stomach and causes seri-
Gus trouble for the weak ones so word
is now going out to thousands Of
eatonic users that they should, dur
ing this hot weather. be on the safe
side and take one eatonic tablet
about half an hour before meals, as
well as after eating. Do this and
keep the excess acids and poisonous
gases from forming in stomach and
bowels. Eatonic acts quickly; 1t will
help the appetite and take away the
hot-weather, feverish, thirsty feeling
from mouth and stomach, because It
takes up the excess acids, poisons and
gases and carries them out Of the
body and, Of course, when the cause
OF the trouble Is removed, there can
be no bad feeling. Eatonic Is like
bit Of candy, and is recommended to
all as a safe, sure remedy these hot
days for stomach and bodily troubles,
caused from overeating and drinking

for the entire distance between Hartford and New London.
 The work that the commissioner pro- poses the city should do would cost ap proximately $40,00O. If the city does not extend it's brick pavement, the state highway commissioner will carry the con crete roadway only as far as Cedar Grove cemetery. This would leave a stretch of pnacadam, or dirt roadway at the entrance to the city.
 Mayor Morgan is of the opinion that New London will be willing to build this extra stretch of roadway and should do so to show appreciation of the building of the fine thoroughfare for 40 miles connecting the two cities. He believes it would seem lax on New Londons part | to leave this small stretch from upper Broad street to Bronson Hili. and after visitors had travelled the length of the highway. from Hartford and came sud- denly upon an unimproved road within the city limits the contrast would be par ticul2rly noticeable.
 The mayor states that. this expendi- ture would not have to be made this year, as it will be a year yet before the trunk line approaches completion but it is matter that should be decided ill the near future and let New London say 1 whether O. not it is willing to improve 1 Broad streel at the cost estimated to be not more than S40,00O.
