Prices of Meat
Animals Fall

The advance in the monthly aver
age price of hogs per 100 pounds re-
ceived by producers, which began with
February, 1916, comparison being
made with the same month in the
preceding year, continued without a
break until August, 1919, and the ad-
vance was from s707 to 1880. Since
August, 1919, the fall from month u
month was continuous to s12.66 ir
December, followed by rise to s1336

Exports of Domestic

Over Three Billion Pounds
Last Year

The exports of domestic meats and
meat products from this country to.
tailed 1888, 100000 pounds for the year
1919, a quantity, without regard to
kinds of meat as great as pre-war an.
nual consumption of meat in France:
three-fifths of that of the United
Kingdom; one-half. as much as that
of former Russia, not including Po-
land; twice as much as that of Italy.
and as per cent of that of former
Germany. For the year ending June
90. 1917 the total exports in pounds
of meat products was 1850, 100000. In
the year 1918, the total rose to 2,216.-
100000 pounds. In 1919 exports
amounted to the largest in the history
of the industry, according to the

Filing Teeth

The practice of filing the teeth IS
quite common among the tribes of
Sumatra. The operation, which is an
extremely painful one, is begun at an
early age and continues until ma
tuIity, when both sets of teeth have
been completely filed down to the jaw
bone.
The custom originated as a form of
personal adornment, but the reasons
do not seem to have been inherited
with the practice itself Although
their usual food of rice, syrup and
,fEely chopped meat and fish is soft
and easily digested, their inability TO
chew is a serious physical disadvan.

Farm Agency is a
Great Organization
Renders Invaluable Service
to Farmers

America is the land of opportunity,
the one place above all others where
ability and energy are quickly recog-
nized and rewarded
This statement is amply verified in
the history of the Lewis Farm Agency
Of No. $50 Ellicott Square, Buffalo.
A few days ago our representative,
after repeated efforts, succeeded in OBJ
tanning an interview with Mr.. Henry
Lewis, the genial president and guild
ing spirit of this unique organization.
Some twenty-five years ago Henry
Lewis, then an auctioneer, saw the
Iced of an agency where the farm
buyer and farm seller could be
brought together. He started that
agency in a small and modest way.
From the beginning he met with sue
cess, and today has a farm exchange
that does an annual business of over
100000. The staff has grown until
it now consists of % people. Twelve
automobiles are used in conveying
clients to see properties. Sub-agencies
with resident managers have been
established throughout Western New
York Mr.. Lewis attributes his sue
cess to his strict adherence in the
rOlicy of square dealing.
His statesmen graduate from the of.
flee force through the hard school Of
experience. They are men of energy,
courtesy and tact, and imbued with
the same ideals as Henry Lewis,
whom they always refer to as "the
chief" =
Such is Henry Lewis and the Lewis
Farm Agency. Our interview came to
an end and we came away with the
firm conviction that whether we
wanted to buy or sell, we could leave
the matter in Mr.. Lewis hands and
ne sure of quick and satisfactory re-
suits.

South DakOtanS to
Kill Prairie Dogs
Saved Thousands of Dollars
Worth OF Crops

Cooperating with the Biological
Survey of the United States DEPART
1nent of Agriculture, the farm bureau
CT Fall River County, S. Oak, induced
the county commissioners to under
take campaign for the extermina-
ton of prairie dogs, and the county
agents were placed in charge of the
work. More than 10000 acres of land
infested with prairie dogs were sys-
tematically covered, and a saving of
crops amounting to $17,612 resulted
Next year the work will be resumed
on newly infested lands, and all pre-
viously poisoned lands will be- gone
ever and poficed until every prairie
dog is dead. The task viii take at
least two years more, besides several
years of police duty thereafter

Will Transfer
Tea Inspection

The Federal tea inspection service
will be transferred from the Treasury
Department to the Department OF
Agriculture at the end of this fiscal
year, if the authority of the trans
fer carried in the pending agricultural
appropriation bill becomes law. The
service is maintained, not under the
Food and Drugs Act, but under spe-
ciaI Tea Inspection Act which, in soma
particulars confers more authority
than does the Food and Drugs Act.
Only adulteration and misbranding are
included under the Food and Drugs
ACT. while quality is included under
the Tea Inspection Act.
In order to make tea of good COM
mercial quality, the leaves used must
he only the young leaves that grow
near the ends of the twigs. If leaves
are taken from farther down the plant
the quality is lowered, and while the
teas purity is such that it could not
be excluded under the Food and Drugs
Act, the quality is so affected that 1t

however, are similar and it is believed
that better results will be obtained by
placing the enforcement of the Tea
Inspection Act under the Bureau OF
Chemistry of the Department OF
Agriculture, which all along has been
charged with the enforcement OF the
Food and Drugs Act. The plan is to
take over the organization practically
intact from the Treasury Department
Tea inspection Offices are maintained
at the Ports of New York, Boston

Getting the Garden
Into Good Shape
Ban Put on Free Seeds

Secretary of Agriculture Meredith
sent bombshell into the Congress
sional camp when he requested Con.
81 ess to drop the item in the depart
rlent appropriation bill for free gar
den seed. This move represents a
saving of several million of dollars.
Congressman have used the free seed
to further their own ambitions. But
the Secretary of Agriculture did not
propose that this department should
carry election propaganda in the form
CT free seed.
Sprays for Garden Pests
Good Judgment must be used, not
only in applying the spray materials
but also in knowing when to apply
them and the proportions to be used.
Spraying is a preventive measure and
not a cure. In isolated cases is spray
ing really a cure or remedy. Insects
and plant diseases will very often
completely disappear when the spray
ing has been faithfully and carefully
performed.
The following sprays are recon-
i1ended for destroying garden pests:
Tomato worm, hand pick with gloves
or spray with Paris green.
Potato beetle, spray with Paris
green and lime, or brush off in shat
low pan and destroy.
Cut worms, mix Paris green and
bran and spread as bait before
plants are set. Put paper collars
around young plants.
Ants may be controlled by punching
holes near their nests, putting in a
few spoonfuls of carbon bisulphidc
and closing the opening.
Striped cucumber beetle, cover
plants with cheesecloth screens, spray
with arsenate of lead, five pounds to
! so gallons of water.
Army worms, spray with Paris
green, spread bran and Paris green
bait or pillow deep ditch with a steeu
side next to crops and kill them in the
trench.

Garden Facts Worth Knowing
Frequent garden cultivation is very
essential in seasons of frequent show
ers or heavy rains. Special pains
should be taken to keep the soil mulch
On the surface of the garden soil and
thus prevent the weeds from making
start. This will require diligence
when showers are frequent and the
ground is in serious danger of bak-
ing should it not be cultivated after
the rain. Cultivation will also help
tender garden plants to make better
growth, as air, sunshine and plant
food are supplied better by frequent
cultivation.
Such vegetables as cabbage. cauli-
flower, lettuce and Onions utilize to
the best advantage heavy applications
of manure.
Tomoto plants respond better to
fertilizer if it is applied and worked
into the row week or ten days be-
fore the plants are set. In the trials
at some of the experiment stations
nitrate of soda alone and potash alone
show a very marked increase. One of
the good results from fertilizing toma-
toes is the earlier maturing of the
fruit, a difference of three or four
weeks being observed in many cases.
