DiverSificatiOn of
Crops in the South

A tendency toward increased diver
sification of crops in the South is OBJ
served in an analysis of acreage fig
ures for the past ten years, recently
made by the Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates, United States Department OF
Agriculture. In ten States, which
grow more than 95 per cent of the
cotton crop of the United States, only
36-4 per cent of their total reported
crop area was in cotton last year,
whereas the average for the past five
years was 1876 per cent; and for the
FIVE years before that (1910-1914, 44.5
per cent. Last year corn and cotton
combined comprised T4.4 per cent of
the total reported crop acreage, which
compared with IT'S per cent, the aver
age for the past five years, and S5.4
per cent for the preceding five years.
In other words, miscellaneous crops
increased from 14.6 per cent of the
total reported crop acreage in the five
years 191O-1914 to 22.4 per cent in the
past five years and 25.6 per cent last
year.

New Peach Grader
Attracts Attention

Peach growers are displaying kee1;
interest in the new peach-sizing de
vice perfected by the Bureau of Mar
kets, United States Department of
Agriculture. Applications for a pub
lie patent covering the sizer has been
granted by the Patent Office, and
many requests for drawings have been
received.
The machines will be used in the
peach belt during the coming season.
The performance of the sizer will be
carefully watched by peach growers
and manufacturers generally, and if
the device proves to be all that is
claimed for it the next peach season
will doubtless find large number Of
the machines in practical operation.
The object sought by the use of the
machine is to handle fruit more eff
GENTLY than heretofore and at lower
cost. The overall dimensions of the
machine are "a by Is feet and with
from 10 to Is packers working at one
time, each machine permits run of
from 2 to carloads of peaches day.
The device can be operated by an
electric motor of less than l horse.
power capacity or by small gas en-
CINE, and can be run at half capacity,
if desired. According to estimates Of
the designers, the machine should sell
commercially at not more than $3.50.
1t is thought that, in addition to
sizing peaches the machine has posi-
bilities for grading fruits such as
apples, pears and oranges. The de-
vice now is being tested for grading
sweet potatoes.

Useful Recipes

| those on normal farm as possible.
The experiments were repeated un-
der different conditions and in differ
ent years to avoid, as far as possible,
F; any error due to the varied character
istics of the birds.
| The average farmer feeds very lit
tie meat, fish, or animal protein feed
of any kind to his poultry, and conse-
quently gets few eggs during the late
fall and winter when eggs are selling
at the highest prices.
In the experiments conducted on
the Government poultry farm, pens of
pullets on free range were fed mash
of corn meal, bran, and middlings and
scratch mixture of wheat, oats and
corn. This is a greater variety of
grains than is used by many farmers.
In addition the birds had absolutely
free range on land where bugs, green
| feed, and worms were plentiful. Other
pens were given the same ration, with
1 pound of commercial scrap added to
every four pounds of mash.
The pullets without the meat scrap
laid only 80 eggs apiece (Which is
more eggs per hen than the average
farm flock lays), while those receiv-
ing meat scrap average from 125 to
$50 eggs apiece.
Meat scrap is not produced on most
farms and has to be bought at a
higher price than grain. 1t produces
eggs, though several cents a dozen
cheaper than where no meat scrap is
used. Milk products or fish give as
good results as meat in increasing
egg production.

Use Pure Salt
In Curing Hides

Hides should be sailed only with
clean pure salt free from alum, &C.
cording to a recent statement of the
Bureau of Chemistry, United States
Department of Agriculture. This
bureau is making study of the best
methods for skinning farm animals
and curing hides in order to produce
a high-grade leather. Salt containing
alum partly tans the hide and sets the
hair so that it cannot be removed.
Hides which cannot be unhaired bring
loss to the tanner and prejudice him
in further purchases against sides
from the same source.
Tanners recently submitted to the
Bureau of Chemistry green sailed
hides which could not be unhaired
after lining in the usual way, in or
der to find out the cause. An exam
nation showed that on the basis Of
the dry hide unhaired spots contained
0.8 per cent hide of alumina and the
portions where the hair was not
loosened contained 1,25 per cent of
alumina. The portions of the hide
which contain OS per cent, alumina
unhaired with difficulty. while the
portions containing 1.25 per cent could
not be unhaired even on the beam
An inferior salt containing alum had
been used in sailing the hides and had
set the hair.
This incident illustrates the impor'
lance of attention to details in the
handling and curing of hides and
skins. Farmers, country butchers, and
dealers are advised by the department
to use only clean, pure salt in hides.
The presence of alum in salt is especi.
ally Objectionable and as little as per
cent in the salt can be detected usu'
ally by its astringent, bitter taste.

SUBSTITUTE RICE FOR
COSTLY POTATOES

That the use of rice for potatoes, d
substitution already made by many
thrifty housewives, could be even
more widely adopted with profit, is a
suggestion of the Unlled States De-.
partment of Agriculture, prompted by
the present high cost of potatoes.
The Departments food specialists
point out that potatoes are approx
imately four-fifths water and one
fifth food material, whereas in rice.
as well as in most other grains, the
proportions are practically reversed.
Under normal conditions the prices
of these two commodities usually are
such as to somewhere nearly equalize
the two from the standpoint of food
cost.
Recently, however, potatoes have
sold from 81 to 1.50 peck, which
means about Z to 10 cents a pound,
whereas rice has retailed at Is to
II cents a pound. So long as the
price of the two foods is substantially
in this relationship, it is obvious
from comparison of their food con-
tent that given sum of money can be
spent much more economically for rice
than for potatoes.
The estimated production of rice i'll
this country for the past year Was
41,OO0,OOO bushels, an increase OF
nearly 100000 over 1918. While
some export business in rice has be-
gun to develop, the supplies for do
nestle consumption are considered
sufficient to meet a growing demand.

What They Read

In the sonorous satire of the great
Carlysle, Dorothy Philips, the beau
tiful Universal star, finds her literary
inspiration.
Just as cream-puffs are delicious bit
insufficient as a steady diet, so are
the frothy novels of the summer sea-
son insufficient as a mental food, she
says.
In her palatial home in Los Angeles
the star of such appropriations as
1.-THE Heart of Humanity" and The
Right to Happiness" finds sanctuary
from the arduous work of the day
before the camera by going back over
the road to yesterday with the cid
masters.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1920-06-18

Among the works of the great
Scotchman, Miss Phillips particularly
likes "Sartors Resartus" and 1.-THE
French Revolution"
Although her preference is for Car
lysle, Miss Phillips also likes the work
of Dickens, in particular the delightful
"Pickwick Papers" and the unfinished
"Barnaby Rudge."
"The reading of good books is like
stocking an engine with fuel" she says
unless one constantly replenishes
the mind with new fuel in the form oil
literature the mental engine slows
down and eventually burns itself out
People who think the same thoughts
constantly are very tiresome."

sheer and dainty dresses already

Some of these are trimmed with lace

year and half size in these dainty
little frocks. This is quite conven-
lent for the busy woman, who has not
the time to make frock. Tiny Dor.
nets of sheer lawn may also be bought
ready for embroidery and then there
are cunning sun-bonnets and sun
hats for the six-months or one-year
old. 1t really only takes a few mo-
ments to embroider them.

The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1920-06-18

When lines cease to interest fash
ion creators, as occasionally it does,
then trimming step into the lime
light That is exactly what has hap
pened right now With very little
change from the winter to the spring
silhouette, with the chemise dress just
as much a favorite now as it was a
year ago, something must be done to
make the summer frocks look differ
ent. That is why you will see such
all and elaborate trimmings.
For instance, there is straw. Many
of the wool street frocks for immedi-
ate wear are embroidered with the soft
glossy star that does not break, as
well as with the tougher raffia
But when straw appears on the lace
dress, then it is time to hold up ones
hands in amazement and admiration.
Brown straw rosettes on an ecru lace
dinner gown is a striking example of
this new mode.
Lace is Popular
And speaking of lace! Not for
some years has lace threatened to be
so popular. Not only is it used alone
for charming dresses of the lingerie
type, but it is often combined with
silk and organdie. A margot lace
apron atop a navy, brown or black
taffeta is now not uncommon. Wide
bands of filet, margot and embroid.
cred net are set into the straight
gathered skirts of the newest organ
die frocks and give them festive air
which puts the bands and tucks of
last year in the shade. 1t is get.
ting to be quite the thing to make the
voile or organdie frock series of tiny
lace-edged ruffles. When the ruffles
are black on white the result is Vic
torian and most picturesque. For
this purpose the blonde laces in white
and black are used. Another new
lace for trimming the cotton frocks is
a wide Val, the mesh and pattern en-
larged in proportion to look as if mar
row Val. were seen through a magni-
flying glass.
Ribbons refuse to take a second
place, though mentioned last. They
are enjoying perhaps the time of their
lives. And no longer are bribons
merely silk. There are wool ribbons,
velour ribbons and cotton ones, too.
Checked metal ribbons are new and
metal brocaded ribbons on failie
grounds. Very finely striped ribbons,
some with metal stripes, are used for
hat facings, bags, ETC., but occasion
ally, too, for the ubiquitous girdle,
In fact, it is the ribbon girdle which
raises the plain cotton frock to a
place of distinction. AS many as four
different ribbons will be laced or VIC
ven, twisted or buckled together to
girdle the plain frock.
