Learn How About Golf.

That is the most important part OF
the whole game-How? It's easy. You
learn to do by doing. Golf is learned
by playing golf. There you have the
whole secret. There is, however, few
minor matters to look after in connec-
ton with the game itself. First you
must become a member of the Country
club. There is no great ceremony about
that. There will be certain paragraphs
drawn up which will serve as consti-
tuition. with other paragraphs consti-
tuting the bylaws. A copy will be
handed you, and when you have salts
fled yourself that the organization is
not an Ananias club, or a corporation
or trust contrary to the Sherman anti
trust law, you call on the treasurer
and pay your annual membership fee
of S25. 90. A membership card is issued
to you, and you are entitled to all the
privileges of the club. AS the boy on
the vacant lot ball team must have his
bat, ball and NIT, SO the golfer must
have his kit, clubs and balls; but it is
up to him to decide the number of each
to rent or buy.
A person we'll up on all the points of
the game will be on the green to teach
the beginner and show him how not to
play the game. How to play it, as
stated above, the golfer himself must
acquire by practice, scrambling and
unscrambling his anatomy until it just
becomes natural, simple, beautiful and
convincing to the ball and the playing
partners. Books on golf are helpful,
not so much because they tell you how
to play golf, but more because they
fill the reader with desirable attitude
toward the noble game. Golf, like
poetry, must be seen through the eyes
of it's lover in order to be fully appre-
ciated. One hundred charter members
are enrolled. A large committee, which
will divide itself into special commit
tees, is chosen among the members;
$40 of the fee is paid in advance to the
treasurer; the funds available work
will start on the grounds as soon as
the plans are completed. Join the Ed
gerton Country club!
The tennis, archery, baseball and
will flourish together with golf.

The new town road law enacted in
1919 becomes effective April 7th, this
year. 1t means radical change in the
methods of town road work. This law
provides for the appointment of sup
erintendent of highways, who shall be
in charge of town road work. Road
taxes are to be paid in cash, and the
town becomes the unit of highway i'm
provement. The superintendent is to
be appointed by the town board for a
period of one year. The superinten-
dents compensation is to be fixed by
the town board. If he proves incom-
petent, the town board may remove
him and appoint successor. The sup
erintendent is required to execute a
bond in the amount fixed by the town
board. He must make complete re-
port of all funds received and disbursed
by him. He is to supervise all con-
struction and maintenance of high
ways. bridges and culverts. All formal
contracts for construction must be ap-
proved by the majority of the town
board.
Mr. Harper of the Edgerton Cow
Testing association is organizing the
boys and girls between 9 and 20 years
old for the purpose of forming pure
bred calf club. Here is something of
real interest to the young folks on the
farm, and of real merit to the commun-
ity. AS soon as so members have
joined the organization Mr.. Harper and
other expert dairymen will go out and
select 80 of the best pure bred Hol-
stems to be had. Each member will
have one calf turned over to him, or
her, to keep and care for during six
months. At the end of this period
there will be held stock show, the
calves will be judged by competent
dairymen, and prizes awarded to the
boys and girls who can show the best
results in the calf tended by them. In
connection with this stock show sale
will be held, and the calves will be dis
posed of to the highest bidder. Then
new start will be made with another
batch of calves. Mr.. Harper and the
cow testing association should have the
hearty support in putting the new or
ganization over.
The Edgerton post of the American
Legion has been conducting campaign
to increase it's membership. The club
is working by teams and the losing
team has to entertain the winners. It
is confidently hoped that the Edgerton
post will have $50 members. The Lee
gion club rooms in the Schmeling block
are now in use. The whole third floor
including the dance hall is now con-
trolled by the club. To the front are
five very nice and spacious rooms.
Three are on the south side of the stair
and two on the north The north rooms
are equipped for reading rooms. Oak
tables, chairs and comfortable. daven-
port give the rooms an atmosphere of
solid comfort The south rooms are
card rooms, billiard and whateversother
pastime pleasure it may be found con-
venient and desirable to add as the club
finds out it's own mind in this respect.
The Reporter would suggest that any
one having good and appropriate pic
lures to donate to adorn the walls of
the club rooms should make the offer
to some officer of the Legion. Good
pictures add much to the appearance
of room and to the pleasure of the
occupants.

GARDENERS SHOULD REPLANT
WITH MOST IMPORTANT CROPS

To get the most out of the home
garden a number of crops, such as
snap beans, beets, lettuce, radishes,
and peas, should be planted at in
tervals to insure a continuous supply.
In the case of snap beans as many as
five paintings may be made in some
sections of the country. In the
southern part of the United States
special attention should be. given to
the late planting of the semihardy
crops for late fall and winter use.
These crops include spinach. kale,
s end0 Winter c0 onions The lsteplan3ed d
crops generally give the best veg
etables for winter storage. Beans,
peas, carrots and beetS for canning
purposes should be grown either very
early in the season or quite late in or
der to get the finest quality of canned
goods. A late-planted crop of snap
ply of very tender pods which are
ready for canning just before the
first frosts. These usually make a
better quality of canned product than
do those grown at time when they
mature during the heated portion of
the season.
More Irish Potatoes Urgent
Too much stress cannot be placed
upon the need for gardeners to pro-
duce Irish potatoes during the re-
mainder of the season. 1t is now
time to begin thinking about planting
a late crop in sections where a late
crop is grown. In the southern part
of the United States late crop may
be planted in July or August, provid-
ed enough moisture is in the ground
to give the seed a start.
Gardeners are advised to plant the
standard crops and varieties, leav-
ing the fancy kinds of vegetables and
the novelties off their list.
Throughout the greater portion of
the south a very excellent crop or
sweet potatoes may be grown by TAX
Atlanta tri-weekly journal. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1920-19??, 1920-07-06

ing vine cuttings from those that
have been previously planted and in
sorting these in ridges in place of
rooted plants. The sweet potatoes
grown from vine cuttings are usually
free from disease and are smooth
and uniform. making them very de-
sirable for winter storage.
In many sections peas can be
planted as late as September and
will yield a very nice crop before
cold weather sets in. For this pur-
pose the early or quick maturing
sorts should be used.
Can or Store Vegetables
Large quantities of garden vegeta-
bles are lost through want of suit
able means of taking care of the sur
plus. This can be done either by
canning or by storage, depending
upon the kind of vegetable to be
cared for. The secret of filling the
pantry shelves with canned goods is
to can a little every day during the
season when vegetables are plentiful
in the garden. Storage facilities
either in the form OF special room ir
the cellar or a suitable outdoor stor-
age pit should be provided. In few
instances arrangements with the To-
cal cold storage or ice factory for
the partitioning off of a small COM
partment in their ice storage room in
stored at a temperature near the
freezing point may be kept. This
class of storage is especially desir
able for apples and Irish potatoes
Sweet potatoes should always be
stored In a warm place and given
plenty Of ventilation.
In planning the garden operations
for the balance of the season, 1t is
we'll TO take into consideration all of
the above features. First, grow the
kind of vegetables that are needed
for canning and storage, and, second,
make provision to can or store all
that are not needed for immediate
use.

Drainage in Relation to Our Food
Supply

Drainage in Relation to Our Food
Supply
There are two great problems af-
fecting the progress of the world at
the present time. The first of these
deals entirely with food, and the
second with the necessity of a con-
slant and uniform supply of raw
materials upon which to base and
sustain adequate commercial enter
prises. In many parts of the world
people are now suffering for food.
There are positive famine conditions
in certain sections. The whole world
is more or less shert-rationed. This
is not always due to a scarcity OF
food, but to the exceedingly high
price which it commands. There has
%4sn a rapid increase in wages, and
m a few instances laborers are prob
ably receiving wages proportionare
IN amount to increased living costs,
but this only pertains to a small
part of the population Most peo-
pie, therefore, are oppressed by high
living costs. In the face of this con-
dit1on, one would naturally suppose
that we were bending every effort
and energy toward the production of
superabundance of food The con-
verse of this condition, however,
seems to prevail in most localities.
Instead of there being an abundant
labor supply on the farm, the short
age in this direction has really as
sumed alarming proportieas. 1t would
not Eeem, therefore, as though relief
as to living costs was in sight, and
it is self-evident that the restless
ness and unhappinesS prevailing
in many parts of the world cannot
be alleviated until the food supply
catches up with the demand and
there is some reduction in the cost
of living.
The condition portrayed relative
to food applies with equal force to
that of raw materials, of which there

About Bees and Bee Work

CLEMSON COLLEGE.-Many peo-
pie still insist that bees cause dam
age to fruit, and some even assert
that~beest damage crops by sucking
nectar from the flowers. Careful in
vestigationS prove that these beliefs
are not only not true, but that bees
are a great help in pollination of
flowers. Bees do not puncture fruit
and suck the juices. Observations of
trained investigators prove that bees
visit fruit and suck juices only after
the skin has been broken.
Many bee Keepers are disappointed
at the failure of the entomologists
to meet requests for help. 1t is ply
sically impossible for the extension

Grading Saves Big Loss in
Marketing Products

Standardization of farm products
is being widely recognized as funda-
mental to Improvement in market
ing. Without well-organized, accept
able, standard grades, the various
market news services of the bureau
of markets. U. S. D. A, cannot be
made fully effective because there
must be recognized basis for buy
ing and selling, a common language
through which grower, shipper, trans
portation company and dealer may
clearly understand one another.
Standardization, moreover. elimi-
mates waste and prevents the ship
ment of diseased with sound fruits
and vegetables and of overripe with
properly matured specimens. Fail
ure properly to classify products be-
fore shipments frequently results in
deterioration, decay and inefficient
distribution. Much of this loss might
be prevented by sorting products into
grades at the point of production.
packing each grade separately to
minimize contamination and convert
ing inferior or understandable grades
into by-products.

Care in Feeding Chicks
Results in Good Profits

The first rule for getting a good
profit from poultry is to get the
chicks Matched early, and the next is
to keep them growing SO SET. Saey
will reach laying maturity before the
commencement of cold weather.
There is no profit in keeping chick
en- just alive, whether it is intended
for laying stock or for the market.
One reason why more care should be
exercised in feeding chicks than in
feeding fowls is that the chicks
know less about what is good for
them than do the fowls. The heal$Ny
chick is hungry thing and -: eat
what is given it; the digestive or
gans being weak are less able to dis
pose of Objectionable feed than are
those of older fowls.
Young chicks should be fed lit
tie at a time and often, poultry spe-'
cialists in United States department
of agriculture say. They should be
fed early in the morning and just
before going to bed at night, and not
less than three times in the inter-
vening period. For the first two
weeks they may be fed three meals
of soft feed and two of hard, and
after that age two of soft and three
Of hard, less soft feed being fed as
they grow older. No more moistened
soft feed should be given at one time
than they will eat up clean.

THE CAUSES OF
LuMPY MILK

r. X. F., Toccoa, Ca, writes: I have
cow which gives lumpy milk out of
one Of her teats. She has ben that
way about every two or three weeks
for several months. Can You tell me
what to do for her?
Lumpy milk is often caused by
congestion of a part of the udder
This may be due to an accidental
injury OFF to sudden blow of some
kind. The method of procedure in
treating a case of this character is
to knead the section of the udder
very gently, but persistently. Do
not bruise it, but soften it as eff
fectively as possible. Bath it three
times a day for twenty minutes at
a time with water just as hot as
the hands can bare. Then cover it
with a camphorated lard or some
other soothing and healing lotion
which will prevent it's chatting and
help to keen it soft. and thereby re-
duce and eliminate the inflammat ton
The purpose of the treatment is to
restore the normal function of the
part of the udder affected. Very
thoroughly and completely milk out
the udder at least two Or three times
a day, until a cure is effected 1t
is seldom desirable or necessary to
use medicine administered through

Using Nitrate of Soda on watermel-

f. G., Quitman, Ga, writes:

the soda in the middle and cover

There is no reason why nitrate of
soda should affect watermelons in
the manner you suggest. We are in
clined to think that this very i'm
portant and essential plant food is
charged up with causing a great

no foundation, in fact Situated as
