"Please send me information regarding ex-
tension courses in agriculture. horticulture.
and forestry The department replied
promptly as follows: Dear Madam: / am
sorry to write you that Columbia University
gives no course in landscape gardening.
may incidentally call your attention to the
classes in agriculture conducted by Columbia
University, open to the public without en-.
trance examinations of any kind"
This may have some bearing on the low

CAMPAIGN FOR BETTER sIREs
Owners of Purebred Animals Take
Generous Pride in Progress OF
the Movement.

Every mail received by the bureau
of animal industry, United States de-
partment of agriculture, shows the
readiness with which farmers and ami
NAL breeders in general are co-operat-
ing in carrying out the Better Sires-
Better Stock" campaign.
The letters show that the owners OF
purebred sireS take a generous and
proper pride in the progress of the
campaign in their community. One
letter recently received contained the
following advertisement clipped from
q county newspaper published in Penn
sSlvania:
''Don't breed to scrubs-fetch your

PREPARE LAND FOR ALFALFA
One of the Best Ways to Get Moisture
and WeII-Packed Soil Is by
Disking and Rolling.

Fall seeding of alfalfa requires
moisture and soil which is well pack
ed. One of the best ways of getting
such a condition is to disk the ground
as soon as oats or small grain is taken
off, then plow it and pack it thorough
ly by narrowing it or rolling. Soil
which has been in cultivated crop
and removed early, such as early po-
tatoes, makes good ground for fall!
seeding. On ground of this kind a
thorough disking and narrowing will
often put it in good shape for alfalfa.
On many of our types of soil alfalfa
will do better if limestone is applied.
This limestone should be applied after
the ground has been plowed and then
narrowed in to give best results.

SWINE FOR WINTER MARKETS
Temptation to Fatten Quickly on
Corn Alone Is Liable to Cause
Loss of Animals.

Hogs for the early winter markets
should be carefully fed. The tempta-
ton to fatten quickly on corn. alone
is liable to cause the careless farmer
the loss of one or more animals. A
better and a safer feed is Wheat mid
dlings and wheat bran made into a
thick slop. Give feed of this just
what the hogs will eat>up clean twice
a day, then give moderate feed Of
corn.
Keep a plentiful supply of fresh,
clean water in the pens. See that the
trough is clean. Have clean. dry pens
and yards. Dust the pens once week
with air-slacked lime.

POTATO DISEASE EXPLAINED
so.calIed Blight Due to Tip-Burn or
Small Insect Known as the
Leaf-Hopper.

Much of TIE so-called potato blight
which is to be found is due to what is
really tip-burn, or it may be due to a
small insect known as the leaf-h0pper.
The tip-burn is caused by the dry
weather and extreme heat as the sun
and wind draw the water from the
plant faster than the roots can supply
it from the ground. The leaf-hopper is
a small, greenistelilke insect, which
will be found Jumping from one plant
to another as the plants are moved.

FLAVOR OF BIG IMPORTANCE
If in Making Butter Desirable Quality
Is Spoiled Price on Market
Must Be Reduced.

Butter is valued over lard and tall
low mainly for the reason that it has
a more desirable flavor. If, in the
making and handling of butter, this
desirable quality is spoiled, the price
of the product on the general market
must be reduced accordingly. The
consumer eats butter mainly as rel
ish. and If IL has bad flavor it ceases
to be q desirable relish.

DAIRY NOTES

Regularity in feeding dairy stock is
important.
Keep the cans of cream in cooling
tank until time of delivery.
Skim the milk as soon after making
as possible and cool the cream at
once.
A cow must have certain amount
or food nutriments to keep up the
flow of milk.
Protect the cans of cream from the
sun by covering with canvas or with
a wet sack while en- route.
Ovsr2ceding is not the part Of wis
dom. What is too much for one COW
may -not.be enough for another.

The owner of this farm explains by
letter that he also maintains purebred
boars and that the service Of these ami
mails is free to neighboring farms.
This is but one instance in which the
owner of better sires has offered their
advantages to his neighbors free of
charge. The fact that the owner of
the sires is willing to buy the. heifer
calves bred from his purebred bulls is
an indication Of the increased profits
that may be realized by the owner of
a scrub or grade herd when he has put
a purebred sire at its head. 1t shows
that the value of the progeny Of
purebred sire and grade dam is so
well established in the minds of the
best informed among breeders that
they are willing to pay much higher
rate for this progeny than for calf
: with grade parents in both the sire
and the dam. 1t further illustrates
the rapidity of Improvement in herd
which has purebred sire at its head.

Captain White remarked: Mr.. Chair
man. me Governor desires me to repeat
what | have stated on Bill No. 20, and
to state that the same conditions exist
a. in Bill No: 20.
2nd Appointed Member (NoU) re-
marked: Mr.. Chairman. AS Charm an
of the Committee appointed by this
Council to receive, and consider, and
report on the ordinance before this Coun-
Gil, | wish to state that the Committee,
as far as | can see, has gone through 1t
in it's entirty. The Committee, during
its deliberations, offered many changes
to the draft as originally presented and
every change offered has been incorpOr-
ated, ard the draft before you is as draft
ed by the Committee appointed to draft
the laws and in it is embodied the
changes made by your con mittee. In St.
Thomas we spent much time in going
over these laws and every suggestion
made in St. Thomas by that Committee
has also been incorporated and the draft
as laid before y u now is draft compll
ed by the Commission appointed by the
Government and by the Committee Of
nine members from the Colonial Council
of ST. Croix. The first draft as original
" presented to the two Councils was a
draft similar to the one before you: and
| might state that during our delibera-
tions we find that it did rot contain a
single serious clause which we were real
ly afraid of; certainly after it has been
gone over by twenty-three other men
and all of their ideas incorporated, so
far as the Government is concerned, we
nelieve that this draft of ordinance is
highly desirable for these Islands. 1t
is probable that further changes will be
requested and if it is the vote of the
majority of this Council that these chan
gss be made, there will be no objection;
provided that t e changes offered will
not change the original features Of the
bill: 50 in speaking on LIST Discussion,
it does not seem to me the time to waste
time, in other words, the specific ques-
ton before the Council on 1st Discussion
is, do we think it a bad ordinance? If
your answer is in the negative say it is
a bad ordina &c and it goes no further;
if your answer is in the affirmative then
it goes over to second discussion and
there we will find out if any changes
are necessary. In viaw of the fact that
the Committee here and in st. Thomas
have agreed that it is a good ordinance
| don't think it necessary to waste time.
lst. Member for Christiansted Country

The Chairman remarked: Regarding
the statement made by LIST Member for
Frederiksted Country District about meet
ings of the Council, | wish to state
that Government wishes to get these laws
passed as quickly as possible. The Gov
eminent has proposed to have a meeting
every MOnudy unlI the avs are passed,
if that does not suit members they NAV
say so and a vote will oe taken. The
Governments proposal is in keeping
with the Rules of Business.
Captain White remarked: Mr.. Chair
man. With regard to the remarks of the
LIST Member for Frederiksted Country
District the Government wishes to state
that the postal service is under the con-
troll of the National Government and that
is a national affair. The Governor of
these islands have no control of these
post offices here AID cannot interfere in
any way whatever. There have been
complaints made and the Governor has
made complaint to the Postmaster Gener-
al, and il any member wishes to make a
proposal to the Postmaster General the
Governor would be glad.
LIST Member for F~rederiksted Countrv
District (AnderSen) remarked: M
Chairman. That's very satisfactory re-
marks, but we feel that we cannot az.
pect any change as long as conditions
remain as they are, and it is doubtful
whether any changes will be made. Is
it possible that the Governor cannot do
something until Washington feels that it
is necessary to make some changes in the

AS to procedure, the draft before you
is to be taken up page by page, and |
will then ask members ii they nave any
objections, and if there are any, amend
ments they can be brought in; and 1t is
the duty of members to stop and ash for

4th Appointed Member ~(BJackWood)

ton which the LIST Member for Christian
sted Country District has brought up is
one that has been in my mind very
strongly and | mentioned it at the last
meeting. We have spent a good deal Of
time going through these codes, the
Secretary was careful in asking QueS-
tons, and had everything Strengthened
out so THAT members could have 1t before
them. Without that guide to go by. /
cannot see how members, outside of the
Committee members could discuss the
bill inteIligentIy: so in my opinion it
seems to me the best thing % do is 10 have
the report printed and distributed to the
members, who are here representing the
community.

ANOTHER WET SUIT

The Kentucky Distilleries and
Warehouses ompany has filed suit in
federal court at Louisville to test the
national prohibition amendment. The
company's petition questioned the vote
of Congress submitting the amending
to the states for ratification, contend
ing that the vote was not two-thirds
majority of the entire membership of
both Houses. The bill also claimed
that although legislatures cf as states
have ratified the amendment, state
constitutions of 13 of them require q
referendum on the subject before the
amendment can become operative in
the respective states: that the pro-
hibition law is violation of the tenth
amendment in that the Government as
sumes control over rights which are
reserved to the states and that the
prohibition law violates the fifth
amendment by deriving the company
