HIS DESTINATION NO OBJECT

Sitting in the rear end of a day
coach on jerkwater road in Texas,
my end of the car being a smoker for
white passengers and the front end
being reserved for the accommoda-
ton of colored persons, looking
through the open door of the dividing
partition-saw the conductor stop in
the aisle alongside a half-grown negro
boy who had boarded the coach at a
flag station.

The darby say. So saying he hauled a
handful of silver dollars out of a
pocket and extended the hand, its
palm covered with coins.
Well, then, where do you want o
go?" asked the conductor.
Cap'n, it don't make no difference,
quoth the boy. "Jes' you tells me,

Large Items of Income
Not on Balance Sheet

The farmer, unlike most men in
other lines of work, has two kinds
of income, one his regular cash in
come, the other an income that IS
almost never measured in dollars and
cents.
Food, fuel and shelter are three
essentials of life that go to make
up the part of the farmers return
which does not show on his balance
sheet These are the things that
lend safet yand stability to farm
life. that enable the farmer to tide
over bad years and hard times that
would be ruinous if he had to pay
cash for everything that he gets.
In the case of the man on the small
farm. this unledgered income is Oft
en- of as great Importance to the
farm family as the cash income. say

Potato Wart Under Control

In the war against potato Wart the
United States has done In less tnan
two years what other countries mad
not succeeded in doing In decades.
Wart has been for long time a de-
structive disease of potatoes in Eu-
rope, and the belief always was that
once a garden or field became inject
ed there was no way of eradlcat1ng
it. An infected area, even when no
potatoes were planted in it for
number of years, would show the dlS-
ease still yirulent when again plant
ed to potatoes. The potato Wart dis
ease was discovered last year in
gardens in some small mining towns
in Pennsylvania. The United States
Department of Agriculture quaran-
tined the infected areas and the spe-
cialists Of the department. began ex-
periments IN control They have now

.stea -mandrn forlpalldehyde... The cost
of. the. work, however, is high, and
it will be used only when absolutely
necessary in cleaning UP the infect
ed areas.
The investigators of the depart,
ment, who have worked in co-opera-
ton with the State authorities of
Pennsylvania and West Virginia.;
have also discovered varieties of po-i
tato that are immune to the wart
disease, and steps are being taken to
assist gardeners in the infected re-
gions to purchase varieties of seed
known to be. immune. The depart
ment specialists now believe that
further losses from the disease can
be practically eliminated.

Selling Southern Corn by
The Federal Standards

Information frequently reaches the
United States department Of agricul-
ture that formers in the southeast
crn states arc having difficulty in
marketing their corn. Investigation
has shown that in a great majority
OF these cases the trouble is due to
the grain not being prepared proper
ly for market.
Many farmers apparently desire to
sell their corn on the ear without
removing the. husks. Some corn is
sold in that way, but the demand is
usually much smaller than the sup
ply. Consequently buyers frequent
ly obtain corn of this kind at almost
any price they, are willing to pay.
The bulk of the corn trade in this
country is in shelled corn, there be-
ing a. demand for this grain at prac-
ed corn nearly always sells for bet
ter prices than corn on the ear.
Practically all sales of shelled corn
are now made on the basis of the
federal grades established by the sec
rotary of agriculture under the au-
thority of the United States grain
standards act. The act requires that
these grades must be. used for all
interstate shipments sold by grade.
This covers the bulk of the business,
and even though no grade is men
toned in other transactions the buy
err usually compares mentally the
quality of the corn. offered with
graded corn, and makes his price &C
cordingly. Where he is offered I'M
graded corn which he cannot exam
inc before purchasing, he either re-
fuses to buy it or makes the price
sufficiently low to- avoid chances OF
loss. From these facts it can be
seen that it is usually to the adj
vantage of the seller to shell his corn
and sell it by grade. This requires
that he be familiar with the federal
standards. For that reason the de-
partment is conducting grain grad
ing demonstrations at many fairs,
farmers meetings. and other gath
erings in the southeast, where meth
DDS of grading under the standards
are demonstrat Organizations de-
string such demonstrations by led
eral supervisors should direct their

Growing Cotton Under

CLEMSON COLLEGE, CLEMSON.
s. C.-The following recommends
lions for raising cotton under boil

Information available at the present,
are made by the Extension Service
Of Clemson College as a general guide
for farmers.
1. Plant smaller acreage per
plow.
2. Prepare the land better than
formerly.
8. Use more fertilizer and use it
more judiciously.
4. Do not plant seed in close con-
tact with large applications of fer
tilizer.
5. Plant only purebred seed of
the best varieties. The following
short staple varieties are recommend
ed for wilt-free land: Cleveland Big
Boil and Cook. For wilt-infested
land: Dixie-Triumph and Dixie.
Long staple varieties: Weber 40 and
Weber 80.
6. Delint seed with sulphuric acid
if possible.
Z. Plant plenty Of seed to insure
good stand.
8. Plant at the same time as be-
fore the appearance of the boil Vice.

g. Plant in rows IL to 1-2
feet wide, dependin gon the kind of

10. Leave cotton thick in the row,
preferably to IL inches.
II. Cultivate often enough to
keep out weeds and grasses.
II. Follow cotton with a cover
crop Plan to plow under as much
organic matter as possible.
IS. Practice systematic crop ro-
tation.
Il. Do not depend on cotton alone
as a cash crop, but plant peanuts.

Food Distribution in Var

Albert n. Merritt, Phi. D., who dur
Ing the war worked in the food ad-
in connection with pub
licity and censorship. has told In de-
tail the interesting labors Of the distri-
button division. His book, Wartime
Control of the Distribution Of Food, "
not only lays down principles and pro-

but also gives good account of prac-
tice and practical difficulties.
Doctor Merritt has written more than
a brief history of the distribution divi-
sion. The spirit and o-operation
of the work of the food administration
Is we'll illustrated by the following
words of the author: "All worked to-
gether. All spent their days and part
Of their nights pondering over the vex Z.
ing problems presented. In almost all
cases the net results were produced by
combining the ideas and views Of all,
and the fact that certain individual

sion does not mean that the activity OF
that section can be entirely attributed to
this individual. but 1t must be attributed
to the staff as a whole, as all were con
suited and were always glad to render

every important phase Of the work in
hand.'
