MARKETING BY PARCEL POST
Not All Farm Products Lend Them
selves to Practice-Saving Can
Be Made With Some.

While 1t may be attractive to n city
dweller to believe that he can have n
vegetable garden grown for him 100
miles or $50 miles away. place his
orders for the cost of stamp. and
have the produce delivered mt his door,
1t should be remembered the United
States department Of agriculture
points out that not all farm products
lend themselves to direct marketing
hy parcel post. Usually il is iinprac-
tichblc To market such heavy products
as potatoes by parcel post. whereas
eggs. butter, sausage, poultry, many
vegetables, and nut meats may fire.

n saving to the purchaser Iii general
the greater the value per pound the
more favorable is the chance for
direct marketing.

USE OF GOOD CLOVER

Good clover seed is profitable in

according 10 the New Jersey state ag-
ricultural college, provided it is to be
used on soils known to produce clover.
If farmers feel that they cannot afford
to buy clover seed at present costs,
they should consider the advantages
Of clover over substitute crops.
Glover hay has n high food value.

Out Of Place.

Aunt Hannah came home from
church the other Sunday morning dis
tinctly out Of sorts. When asked what
was wrong she answered that she
thought there was not the proper rev.
erence In that church. Pressed to give
further explanation she finally did So
II didn't like any Of the choir" she
complained. 'They were too tickle
looking to sing hymns and thought
it perfectly sacrilegious when that So
prano got up In those slippers with the
high, thin heels and sang, How Firm
a Foundation, Ye Saints Of the Lord "
The family she was visiting smiled
but later admitted to themselves that
it was indeed homogeneous although
not exactly sacrilegious.

TO DESTROY INSECT PESTS
Two Forms Of insecticides Necessary
for Successful Protection Of
Plants and Foliage.

DO not waste your time spraying
paris green on insects that suck the
juices from plants and foliage, such
as lice, green, black and white aphis
or fly, mealy bug, red spider and scale,
by thrusting their proboscis into the
leaf or stem, for they are not affect
ed by stomach poisons. They must
be destroyed by contact insecticides.
Those in powder form kill by clos
Ing the breathing pores in the insects
skin, or in fluid form by being alb
sOrbed through these pores, the Amer
lean Forestry Magazine points out.
The best contact insecticides in pow
der form are hellebore, slug shot and
tobacco dust. The best in fluid form
are aphine, black leaf 40, fish (whale)
oil soap, nicotine tobacco extract),
kerosene. miscible oil and lemon oil.
Insects that eat plants, foliage, vege-
tables, fruits, flowers, etc. whether
bugs, beetles, worms, caterpillars or
slugs are more quickly and effectu-
ally destroyed with n poisonous sto-
machic insecticide such as arsenate of
lead, paris green or hellebore. These,
If applied according to directions, are
so diluted rs to be harmless to vege-
tation and to animal life. Less poi
sonOus stOmachic and contact inSecti-
cides are Kerosene emulsion, slug
shot, etc.

Electricity to Locate Metal.

The idea Of using current trans
mitted through the earth as a means
Of locating metal ores is familiar, the
belief being that the greater conduc-
tivity Of these metalliferous regions can
be clearly indicated, and the area
mapped out, says the Scientific Ameri-
can. The location of Oil deposits,
which according to the Electrical Re-
view Is now being investigated cleo
trically, presents converse problem.
In this case the insulating properties
of the oil diminish the current. and
oll-bearing regions are detected ac-
cordingly. In view Of the great depth
to which 1t is often necessary TO bore
FOR oil-oil that only exists simulta-
neously with an almost oil-free area
above-the method would seem to
have limitations, but it has doubtless
possibilities in dealing with surface Oil
areas.

be considerably more than of timothy
Timothy yields but one crop a year,
while clover often makes two. There
is enough difference to pay for the
clover seed several times over.
Glover is of great value also in
maintaining the fertility and nitrogen
supply Of the soil. Without clover or
other legume sods at frequent inter-
walls the producing power Of the land
would rapidly deteri0rate unless ma
nure and expensive nitrogen ferti-
lizers were used in amounts practical
ly impossible In general farming.
Where the soil has been well lined
and where incubation has been at
tended to, alfalfa may be substituted
for more or less Of the clover in
spring seeding, but 1t would not be
safe to depend entirely on alfalfa
sown in this way on very many farms.
Soy-bcan seed and cow-pea seed are
expensive, and these crops require ex-
penSive preparation of the soil and
give much more trouble in curing.
Alaska clover seed, being only about
half as large as red clover, will go
about twice as far and may be sub
sti,uted for it wholly or III part as a
measure of economy. though red clo-
Yer is preferable where it succeeds.
The use of lime on land to be seed
ed TO clover is the best insurance
against failure to get Il stand. Lime
stone may be drilled on grain in win
ter with good results where clover is
to be Sown in spring.

SAYS EMPLOYERS SHOULD HEED WISHES
 OF THE EMPLOYEES

LONDON, Jan. 2.-Sir Vincent Gail lard, retiring president of the Fed cration of British Industries, tolf the members of the federation the other day that he thought employ CTS did not take their wage earners sufficiently into their confidence At the same time he believed labor had been in the past, suspicious and irresponsible. He expressed the be lief that the workers should be given a voice in the settlement Of general conditions and should be allowed to make recommendations to the employers concerning rates of pay for piece work and other matters.
 Employers, he said, would gain much more by patiently negotiating with their employees than by dis continuing operations. Different stan dards of wages, he added, were producing unrest all over the world Therefore he believed internationa' action in adjustment of labor matters would be beneficial.

The telephone at the county tail was removed from the hook just before the hanging. The jailer refused to deny that the phone was removed ito stop the possibility of clemency reaching the condemned man.

ALLOTMENT OF VESSELS TO FRANCE IS FIRST
 DUTY OF AMBASSADOR

RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. Zone of the first duties of Alexandre Conty, the first French Ambassador to Brazil, will be to secure for France, either by purchase or by prolong- ation of the leasing contract already existing. the use of large part of the German shipping seized in Brazilian ports during the war.
 Considerable discussion has been going on in the Brazilian press as to the final ownership of the formerly German vessels taken over and leas' ed to France. In some quarters it has been asserted that all German ships. no matter where seized, would be di. vided proportionately among the var ious allied powers which participated in the war.
 The official view here, however is that Brazilian ownership of vessels seized in Brazilian waters is estab' lished both by the leasing contract with France, which describes the ships specifically as ships belonging to the Lloyd Brasileiro" Brazilian government merchant fleet). and by the Versailles treaty. which vests the ownership of vessels seized in allied ports to the respective countries ir which the seizures were made.
