YOUR COUNTY WORKERS

County demonstration agents, like
poets, are. born, not made. | give
all of them credit for thinking that
they are doing the best they can
for their communities, but some get
closer to the needs of their people
than others do, and some communi-
ties are easier to help than some
others.
All really progressive counties have
at least one to help the farmers and
While these two are primarily to
work with the country people L am
free to confess that the ladies in
many small towns derive more bene-
fit from them than the majority of
farm women. 1t does require an eff
fort, sometimes two struggles, to get
off the place in the busy season, for
there are farmers who get the idea
in their heads that the women on
the place must be like dumb cattle,
driven from morning till night, and
that is where some farm women re-
quire two struggles, they are so tired
they hate to make the mental effort
to combat the mans idea tnat ANY
fool can cook" That same man goes
to town regularly every week, or
is not often the sort to make friends
with his demonstration agent, but he
needs him.
Many of the letters that come to
me could be answered much quicker
if the writer's would consult their
home demonstration agents. They
have all the latest methods of can
ming and are glad to teach or even
assist the ladies and girls.
Do you know your home demon
stration agent? Every school is sup
posed to have a canning and a poul-
try club, and it is getting time for
canning clubs to get busy, and your
county agent will help you get jars
and rubbers of the best quality and
cheaper, probably, than you can buy
them, for she orders in quantities.
Find out the date of the next meeting
and be there.
Some may think that the girls in
the poultry clubs are about ready to
rest awhile. That is mistake. Never
stop looking after the growing chick
until it is in the frying pan or sold.
1t is an easy thing to let ones en-
thusiasm wane when the weather
gets hot and the chickens are as
big as cartridges. They need three

Prevent Bread SpoiIage
BV Care of ReCeDtaCIeS

While cooling, newly baked bread
should be lightly covered with a
clean cloth or paper to prevent mold
germs and dust from falling upon it.,
but should not be tightly wrapped
in a thick cloth, as is the practice
in some households, for unless it is
aired, when taken from an oven, it is
likely to become, "soggy" and damp,
and thus offer an excellent medium
for cultivation of molds, say food
specialists Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. When cold
the bread should be placed in a close
receptacle that has been thorough
ly scalded and aired. If bread is to
be kept for more than two or three
DAYS in damp, hot weather, the jar or
box should be taken out and summed
for a short time now and then, and
again scalded and dried. On no &C
count should portions Of a FORMER

Cake and cookies should be cooled
after baking and kept in tin boxes
or in earthenware jars, which, IKE

CLEMSON COLLEGE.-It is pre-
/ ferable to hatch chicks in the four
early months of the year on account
| of the fact that these chicks are
able to withstand the heat of the
summer and the usual excess OF
mites and f1eas more successfully
than younger biddies. However, sum
mer chicks can be Matched and raised
profitably If attention is given to
! the. following rules, suggested by
Professor F. c.. Hare, poultry hus-
bandman.
Dust the sitting hen with sodium
f1uoride or yellow insect powder be-
fore you set her, and twice during
the Matching period. Make the nest
on the ground in a cool place. Cover
nest and hen with a large box
about two fee highland place a dish
of grain and another of fresh water
in the box. The box has no floor,
and one side should be covered with
Stats spaced two and one-half inches
apart.
Soak the eggs for two minutes in
warm water just before the chicks
hatch. Sprinkle the water in the
nest. Move hen and box to a shaded
run when the chicks are about thirty
six hours old. Keep the hen in the
box for the first two days, then let
her run with the chicks.

Spraying Roses, Keeping Disease From
The Delicate P lants by These Methods

CLEMSON COLLEGE-At this
season of the year many questions
are being asked as to the control OF
diseases of roses. The principal dis.
ease to fight at this time is mildew
which shows on the foliage and buds
as a whitish powder, and will final
iy cause the leaves to fall prema-
turely. Other common diseases are
the leaf-spot and 1eaf-blotch.
These diseases, which are fungus
diseases, can be controlled by spray
ing with a fungicide, the sprays gen.
orally used being lime-sulphur, Bor-
deaux, or potassium sulphide. The
plants should be sprayed as soon as
the disease appears.
Lines sulphur. Commercial lime
sulphur is used at the rate of one
half pint of the solution to one gal
Ion of water with the addition of
three level tablespoonfuls of arsen-
ate of lead to each gallon of spray
Lime-sulphur can be bought at most
drug stores in the liquid or powder
form. For the powder form, direc-
tons appear on the package. The
dry form should be used at the rate

Potassium Sulphide. Use one ounce
of potassium to three gallons of wa
ter. One ounce of mild soap tt
each gallon of the solution will make
the liquid adhere to the plants. Metal
containers must not be used in mix
ing this spray.
Any one of the above mentioned
sprays will control fildew, 1eaf-spot

foliage.

by sucking the sap. Aphids are usu.

biddies will be stunted through eat
ing the filth and contaminated soil.
Put them away by themselves on a
shaded grass lot, or in part of the
garden where they are protected from
the midday sun, and they will not
mind the heat.
Dust the mother hen every two
weeks with sodium fluoride until the
biddies are weaned; then dust them
occasionally if needed. Do not let
the fleas bother them. If put away
from the poultry house and other
fowls they will not have mites.
Give them buttermilk or sour milk
to drink if possible. Mix wheat
shorts with buttermilk and feed
them what they will eat morning
and noon. Give cracked corn at
night. Keep fresh water before
them.
Many. persons hatch chicks every
month in South Carolina and have a
constant supply of frys. Any one
who separates the broods and guards
against soil contamination, as we'll

during late June Or early July, the
second or fall crop of Irish potatoes
The Lookout Mountain is the most
desirable variety for fall planting
but the Peerless, Green Mountain

be substituted. The ground should
also be prepared at this time for
July and August planting of celery

for fall and winter use.
Continue to plant sweet potatoes

available, use 6 to 8-inch one-leaf

Please give me some advice. I sure
need it. Am a man thirty-eight years
old. l love girl about twenty-five
years old. I tried hard to go to see
her about six years ago, but she
would not let me, and 1 promised
myself not to try again. About two
years ago her father moved right
close to my home, but I did not go
to see him until about four months
ago. She treats me real nicely now,
although I do not go very often. l
am afraid to propose to her, for she
might say no, and if she did it would
kill me. How can I manage to find
out whether she loves me or not,
without asking? If she does not

gazing at her, so she said to him

you think you could love me, you

need is courage, and lots of 1t. No
woman cares for a bashful lover.
Go at her fiercely and say you
love her There is nothing that
pleases woman like arden love
making" and nine times out OF
ten they will love a man who is
absolutely of no account except
he can whisper sweet nothings
in her ear, and women like it.
Do not be afraid; you will never
know whether the lady loves you
or not if you don't ask her. Don't
be a coward, go to her and ask
her. Whatever you do, don't be
bashful; oovercome it. Just go
in to win and show this girl you

Flies that take refuge on the cell
ing, at night or in cool weather, may
be captured without difficulty. The
handle is sawed from an old broom,
and a tin lid Is attached to the
end by driving large tack through
it into the stick. The tack should be
driven firmly to make the lid resi-
solidly and prevent leakage. The
lid is partly filled with kerosene, and
is held for a few seconds against
the ceiling, directly under a fly. The
insect, becoming more or less stupid
with the cold, will be further stupe-
fed by the fumes of the OIL and will
drop into the lid.

into the fire If they had sense enough
to keep out of the irving pan.
