Must Not Disturb Swans.

Even the highest in the French Re-
public must bow before the edicts OF
TIE French protocol, as Nine. Des-
chanel, wife of the president, learned
when she objected to the presence of
five white swans in the Elysee palace
ponds. The swans, Nine. Deschanel
admitted, were very beautiful, but
nearly every morning early they dis
turbed the rest of the presidents
household, and therefore she inquired
whether they could not be removed.
The chief Of the protocol found that
sixty years ago clause was written
In the protocol which provided that
not less than five swans must be kept
in the Elysee palace grounds, for the
feeding of which the keeper of TIE
presidential gardens was responsible.

The Office of governor Of Jerusalem.
once occupied by Pontius PLATE. is

graduate of Cambridge university and
son of the dean of Rochester college,
England.
His task Is one to test the admins
trative ability Of any man. Jerusalem
is city of disunions, where what
ever may come Of the future. for
the moment ZiOniSts and Arabs are
passionately divided and to steer a
Just path between them and induce
them to join him on that path is thank
less work
It Is to that task, however. that he

CHINCH BUGS MENACE
LATE CORN

The chinch bugs and grass
hoppers which were very de-
structive in St. Charles County
were more or less successfully
controlled by the farmers u.s.
ing treatment recommended
by the County Agent. This
treatment was a poison bran
mash for the grasshoppers and
a dust and tar barrier for the
chinch bugs. The county
agent reports that several hun
dred acres of corn in the coun-
ty will probably be destroyed
by the chinch bug this year
even tho climatic conditions
should change to the detriment
of the insect. Corn is late and
this coupled with dry weather
and the chinch bug makes corn
prospects gloomy. The grass
hopper troubles have been
chiefly in alfalfa and clover
fields.

POULTRY WILL BUILD UP
CERTIFIED FLOCKS

Ten poultry breeders in
Johnson County have under
taken to raise poultry by the
certified flock method. A GER
titled flock as defined by the
county agent is one headed by
a male from a hen with rec
ord of 200 eggs or better, a
flock from which all low pro-
ducing hens are culled out by
expert poultrymen, and a flock
having no standard disqualifi-
cations. Male birds will be Sc
lected from a certified flock by
disinterested persons. Those
which meet the requirements
will receive leg band and be
called a certified male. These
males will be placed in the
farm flocks and it is hoped
that their continual use will
result in increased egg pro-
duction. If the poultry grow
ers of this county are interested
we can have some certified
fiOckS.

USING The SUN AS A STOVE
Device Invented by American Scien.
tist is Acknowledged Valuable
Fuel Saver.

Baking bread and roasting meat on
the summit of a mountain without fuel
is possible by the use of device
invented by scientist of the Smith
soninn institution. Washington, n. G..
The intensity of the suns rays Is har-
messed. the unusual energy is capital
i2ed. and food can be cooked beyond
the lire of perpetual SHOWS.
An astronomical mirror at the
Smithsonian institution is capable of
receiving and measuring the energy
of the sun rays. calculating that in
summer the solar luminary transmits
upon each acre of land energy equiv
alent to 1900 horsepower.
The so-termed "solar cooker" con-
sists Of q half-cylinder of iron lined
with mirror glass, which catches the
rays Of the sun and concentrates them
upon metal tube that is the half
cylinders axis. The tube contains Oil.
which expands and becomes lighter, by
the heat as II passes through the tube.
The latter Is continued to form loop
outside the half-cyllnder, thus making
sort Of endless chain.
Passing through the loop, the oil
cools. However. the suns heat forcing
the oil through the portion of the tube
inside the half-cylinder. cOmpels the
cooled oil to follow it. otherwise there
would he vacuum. So while the sun
shines there is a continuous circua.
tiOn of oil. The "loop" passes through
box which contains an oven. Heat
from the oil warns the oven and does
the desired cooking.

Use new rubbers for every
thing, unless it is for pickles,
jellies or preserves; be sure to
test for elasticity by pulling the
rubber with both hands. If it
has a good deal of stretch and
does not break but goes back
to it's natural size it is a good
rubber. The color and thick
ness have nothing to do with
the worth of the rubber. In
cool weather you may test
your rubber by doubling it be-
tween your fingers, if there is
no crease or small holes in it
after this test and the stretch
test you may feel safe in using
it. Be sure to see that the rub
ber fits the jar closely when
it is in place. The rubbers
should be sterilized when the
jars and lids are sterilized.
Sterilization is the BIG thing
in successful canning.

GIN AND GRADE YOUR
/ COTTON

The Farm Bureau is having
a lot Of posters put up over
the country which say Gin
and Grade Your Cotton" This
is poster gotten out by the
United States Department of
Agriculture and is one of the
best that we have seen. Take
a look at this poster, read it
over carefully and then you
will see the difference between
snappy cotton and that which
was picked clean. You will
never be able to get what your
cotton is worth until the time
comes when you can sell both
your lint and your seed on
their merits. AS it is, every
farmer who sells trashy cot
ton is not only losing money
from his own crop but is help
ing to establish a reputation
for a low grade product in this
section. Statistics show that
the most money is made when
your cotton is picked and you
sell both your lint and seed.
The money is what we are
working for and we believe
that is the proper method to
procure the highest prices for
your product.

c A N MING POW Err S
SHOULD NOT BE USED
IN CANNING

In some communities there
is a wide spread use of .an-
ming powder. Both boric acid
and salicylic acid are bought
from druggists for this pur-
pose. Large quantities of these
acids are also sold at a high
price under fanciful cannir g
compound names.
The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture warns
against the use of any pre-
serving powder or canning
compound. Their use en-
courages carless and unclean-
ly work, and their excessive
use may be attended with
serious effects upon digestion
and health. 1t is entirely
practicable to "put up" fruit
and vegetables so that they
will keep definitely by pro-
cessing the products with heat.
There is no reason for taking
the risk of using canning pow
ders.

RUBBER RINGS

The canning season is here
and we do not want to lose any
of our fruit or vegetables after

them. One of the greatest
sources of trouble is in the rub
ber ring used. Here are a few
things that it is well to remem-
ber in selecting your rubbers /:

SEED TREATMENT TO CON-
TROL OATS SMUT is Eff
FECTIVE

A good example of the value
of treating oats for smut is
found in the Porter district,
Adair County. Forty acres
was rented, 20 acres to one
man and 20 to another. One
renter treated the seed oats and
there is not a trace of smut.
The other man did not treat
his seed oats and ten percent
of his crop has been destroyed
by smut.

CONFIDENTIAL-FOR BOYS
AND GIRLS ONLY

BY E. T. Meredith, Sec. of Agri.
l want to say just a few
words to the farm boys and
farm girls, and the older
people need not bother to read
it at all.
Now, you and / know the
Boys and Girls club work rep
resents one of the most i'm
portant lines of agricultural
activity in the United States
today. I believe it is impor-
tant, because it has such large
possibilities. We men and
. women who are trying to i'm
prove farming and farm life
will be out of the game when
you boys and girls are just
reaching the prime of life.
You have the advantage of us,
because you are learning the
principles of good agriculture
and home making while you
are still young enough to learn
to the best advantage and to
apply in a practical way
the knowledge thus gained
throughout your whole lives.
Even as boys and girls you are
accomplishing more good than
can be measured. The good
that you will be able to do
will increase as you grow older
and, when you become full
grown men and women, you
can supply for the agricultural
forces of this nation a leader
ship such as the world has
never known before.
/ congratulate the boys and
girls club members. And I
would like to ask a favor of the
boys and girls who are not
members of the clubs. We
are trying-the United States
Department of Agriculture,
the State agricultural colleges,
and a great many other people
to make the farms of this
country more profitable and
home life on the form more
pleasant. l wish the rest of
you boys and girls would join
with those who are already
members of the clubs and help
us in accomplishing this
great service for our common
country. 1t is a patriotic thing
to do land it is a service that
can not be rendered by any
body except you boys and
girls.
The year 1920 should be the
biggest year in the history OF
boys 'and girls club work
and I am confident that it will
: be. The country is facing a
difficult situation because SO
many men have left the farms
to work in the city. The good
work that the club boys and
| girls can do will help to over.
come the handicap-and the
club boys and girls will do that
kind of work this year. IT
may hearten you to know
that many of us here in the De-
partment of Agriculture look
upon the boys and girls clubs
much as Caesar must have
, looked upon the Tenth Legion
or Napoleon upon the Old
Guard. The other forces may
fail, but we know that we car
rely OIL you.
l might be willing to see you
undertake such serious service
if / did not know that, while
you work hard, you play joy
ously together. | am sure
; that the boys and girls in the
clubs have better times thar
the boys and girls who are moi
in the clubs, and that is an ad
ditional compensation to you
