 The constitution of the association spec flies that the membership shall con sist of such persons as have their herds under the supervision of the Pennsyi- vania state live stock sanitary board and the bureau of animal industry. de- pertinent of agriculture
 The high standards set by the organ ization are indicated by an article in the constitution specifying that it shall be the duty of each member to deal hon estly and squarely, and never to misrep- resent an animal that he offers for sale or exchange. Each member is required to furnish the secretary-treasurer with a complete list of dairy cattle in his herd, the grade animals to be designated by name and number. The data supplied also include information regarding the dairy worth of each animal, as far as pos sible, and an extendoed pedigree of all animals, registered and eligible to regis tration. that are to be used for breed ing This service must be obtained the association, and the charge for it is 50 cents for each animal registered

Better Farm Practices
By F. H. JErEn

Build terraces to prevent soH eroekua is the wise injunction issued to fts fari CTS by one state institution recenti This is a very important matter to wfi attention can be called because the are many farmers in the south that rieAt now arc gradually losing their finer sof particles, the plant food supply which these fine particles contain, and arc sus- taining very severe losses in evsrythinf which means productivity. These &armas are being eroded by heavy winter rains And this will be due to some extent t< heavy rains of every season.
 In addition to the terraces which sheuld be constructed on these rolling and hilfy lands, it would be fine idea to SOW some of it down to permanent pasture for the live stock; put the area to a hay crop, or put it in winter cover crop for at least one year anyway. Contrary to common practice, the land should be well prepared for the first two of theee plans, then given a good application of fertilizer to insure good growth of grass or clover to be used to feed the live stock In this way the land may be redeemed, some relatively cheap cattle feed prs- duced, and the farm permitted to increase the amount of live stock that if carries
 Why use fertilizers? Because fhis VIII insure good growth of the crop and thus put the land in better condition to with stand the eroding agents. A good vigor- ous plant growth will mean that much of the winter teaching win be stopped and this plant food stored up in tho plant for use by the farmer as he desires, rather than be stored in the bottom of Dayy Jones' locker

CONFERENCE AT ANDALUSIA

Representative farmers. bankers and other business men and agricultural spe- cialists met at Andalusia recently to con- fer regarding the best agricultural pol- cies for 1920 for the southeast Alabama counties, comprising Barbour Bullock, Butler, Conecuh, Covington, Crenshaw, Dale, Green, Houston, Henry, Pike and Russell
 The sense of this conference of farm CTS and business men from the counties of southern Alabama regarding the wis est and safetst plans for farming in these counties in 1920 is expressed in the fol- lowing declaration adopted by the con- vention:
 l. There should be no reduction in the acreage or production of any food crops as compared with 1919. Wherever prac- ticable there should be an increase, es- pecially of corn and peanuts, for there is an increasing demand for foodstuffs and fats anu a growing necessity that the farmers of Alabama shall be independent of reliance upon any other section for any considerable part of it's food supply or on the railroad systems for transportation of such supplies.
 2 There should be a further increase over the creditable production of 1919 in crops suitable for feeding to live stock on the farm or for sale, especially in- cluding velvet beans, sorghum, soy beans. hay crops, etc.
 g. There should be unanimous efforts by farmers to control the spread of hog cholera, to unite in locai organizations for the more advantageous marketing Of hogs, to retain or secure and use the maximum number of sows and SOW piGs suitable for breeding purposes; and that the farmer and business man here as- sembled pledge their continuous co-opera- ton to the extension service and other public agricultural agencies in con- ducting it's campaigns to effect these and related ends.
 4. As means of producing the maxi mum amount of work at the lowest pos sible cost we urge increased attention to the making ot better pastures and to the growing of even larger areas of the spe- cial crops that may be gathered by hogs. including principal reliance on the fol- lowing: Peanuts, velvet beans. soy beans, eweet potatoes, rape. also an extension of permanent pastures. especially of Ser muda grass. carpet grass and burr clover.
 3. We believe that continuation of high price for corn is to be expected,

| Members of the East Potomac Park Garden Club of Washington, D. C., paid | themselves last year 90 cents an hour in vegetables as a result of their efforts on
 40 by 100 foot garden plats. There were
 300 of these home gardens, producing an average return of $S4 worth of vegetables, or at the rate of sS40 an acre. Not half l bad, when it is considered that the aver age acre of farm land in the United States yields a gross return of a little less than $40. The all-important point, however, is that 200 families, or 1900 peo- pie, were well fed with fresh vegetables during the summer, and a supply was , canned stored for winter use.
 Thousands upon thousands of home gar dens were important factor last year in supplying food and it is important that many nlvre thousands of gardens De planted in 1920. With food prices still soaring, it behooves every householder to plant a garden and grow his own supply of vegetables. The job of pro- ducing food for the nation has been well
 taken care of by the farmers, but the
 spare hours of industrial workers are now needed to supplement the efforts of the farmers, say specialists of the depart ment of agriculture. The man or wohan who works in the store office or factory can not be of much direct assistance to the farmer, put can at least spend one or two hours every day in the cultivation of a vegetable garden in a backyard or a vacant lot.
 Home gardens are especially needed in densely populated sections, where the peo-' pie are largely dependnt upon transpor- tation facilitis for bringing their food to them. Every foot of suitable land in and around large cities should be made to produce it's quota the coming season. During January, while the southern gardner is planting peas, onions and po- tatoes, the middle states gardener is loking over seed catalogs, and the New England and Minnsota gardeners have just settled down for a hard winter. It
 is just as important that the New Eng
 land gardener be making his plans during
 January vas that the southern gardener
 be planting his peas, onions and pota-
 toes. Three months may constitute the
 growing season in certain parts of the ex-
 treme northern United States and it is
 important that the northern gardener have all his plans made and be ready to make the most of the time at his dis posal.
 Looking back over last seasons garden

Winter Diet

Vegetables should be freely included in the winter diet as well as in the summer one. Doctors say that that tired out feeling which many people have at the end of winter-"spring fever''-often comes from lack of fruits and vege- tables in the winter diet Plenty of vege- tables keep the children well and make their meals more appetizing. Vegetables mashed and put through a sieve are mere easily digested by little children.
 Salts of many kinds are needed by the body, or it will not work smoothly. vege- tables and fruit are rich in them and if wou eat variety you are sure to get all the kinds of salt you need
 When the water in which vegetables are cooked is thrown away, valuable salts are often wasted. Sometimes the flavor is not desirable, but if it is good save this wated for soup or gravy. An even better process is to cook the vege- tables in as little water as possible so there is none left to drain off. or bake or steam them. Canned and dried vege- tables often need only skillful seasoning to make them taste as good as the fresh variety.
 Canned corn is very good when turned into a baking dish with the addition of milk and seasoning added, heated through, in the oven. and allowed to brown on top Outside stalks of celery, a green pepper, or both, chopped and added before baking. will vary the flavor of the dish.
 Spinach loaf A small can of spinach, chard, or beet tops, combined with rice or bread crumbs, will serve seven or eight people if it is made into loaf. Asparagus or string beans are also gAod served this way.
 One can chopped spinach, four cups boiled rice, two cups white sauce and one red pepper make thick white sauce of two cups of milk, four tablespoons of flour. four tablespoons of butter, and one teaspoon of salt. Melt fat and mix with flour, add to> milk and stir over the fire until thickens. Mix with the, rice, chopped spinach and pepper. Form into a loaf and bake 20 or 90 min- utes.

Swine Growers Organize

At the meeting of the Southeastern Swine Growers, which closed a three-days session in Jacksonville. Fla, January 22, the Southern Swine Growers Association was organized. The Jacksonville meeting comprised of representatives from the Florida State Swine Growers Association North Carolina Swine Growers Associa- tion and representative breeders from Virginia, South Carolina and other south ern states.
 Many speakers present advocated the formation of a big Southern Swine Crow CTS Association and this organization was readily formed the general purpose of which will be to stimulate better breeding, feeding and general care of swine throughout the entire south. A comprehensive constitution and bylaws was adopted providing sfor membership dues of s per annum for each member. Officers provided for include president, vice president for every southern state state represented and a secretary and treasurer, The officers for the ensuing year as elected at the organization meet ing are as follows: z. C. Herlong. presi- dent, Micanopy, Fla: W. H. Peacock, first vice president, Cochran, Ga: R. M Gumm. second vice president, Safford, Ala; J. l. Bradham, Manning. & C.. third vice president; R. N. Brady, fourth vice president. Herndon. Va; l.. Jordan, fifth vice president, North Carolina; Will M. Traer. secretary. Jacksonville, Fla; H. H. Simmons, treasurer, Jacksonville, Fla
 Following the meeting of the executive committee, which constitutes the officers of the association, the announcement was made that the Southern Swine Growers Association will hold the first Southern International Live Stock Exposition at some leading southern city to be selected later, during the fall of the present year. A committee was floated consisting of II. A. Petty. Dawson. Ga: R. M. Gumm, Stafford Ala. and W. B. Roddenbury, Cairo. Ga, to attend the meeting of the Southern Cattlemens Association at Montgomery next week and to confer with the officials of that association rela- tive to putting on such live stock show This committee will invite the Southern Cattlemen's Association to look after the cattle interests in this big show and otherwise assist in making it success. All present a the Jacksonville meeting were enthusia stic in regard to the possi- biiities of both the organization and the exDosition and it is believed that both will be of great benefit to the live stock industry in the south. Swine growers and breeders in all parts of the south are particularly urged to apply for member ship in the Southern Swine Growers As sociation.

Best Peach States

When an improved variety of seed is very badly needed to make up a na- tional shortage of a commodity the natural increase is not always rapid enough. One way in which an unnat- : ural speeding up may be secured is shown by the work of the United States department of agriculture with flax seed. Foreign supplies of flax coming into the United States were severely reduced during the war and an inchrease of flax acreage became inn perative. large number of pedigree selections and inchrease plats of the pest varieties were grown during the summer of 1918 at the experiment sta- ton at East Lansing. Mich, In the fall or that year selections of seed of<he various strains were taken to Porto Rico, and an increase crop was grown uurlng the winter. The increased sup ply of seed thus produced was brought pack to the United States in time for planting in the spring of 1919 in the fiber flax regions of Michigan and Ore son- These strains, developed by sev- eral generations of selection. produce flax, reports the chief of the bureau of pant Industry, that is decidedly su perlor to fiber flax grown from com mercial seed of either recent or remote importation The cultivation of fiber Tax has become an esta blished industry In eastern Michigan and the William cite valley in Oregon. In addition, the crop was cultivated during the past season in western Washington. south eastern Minnesota. southern Wisconsin, and western New York
