The early frost of a few weeks ago
seriously injured the sorghum crops,
not only for feed but for seed. Much
of the late seed did not mature fully
and probably will not germinate.
Farmers should take every precaution
to have a supply of dependable seed
on hand. Those farmers who have a
good field Of sorghum should go
through the field or shocks mad select
good heads which had apparently ma
tured before frost. Select more heads
than will be needed to seed your
farm, store them where they will
keep dry and free from mold and not
heat. This seed should be threshed
and tested bfore planting time next
spring. It should also be treated for
kernel smut.

TIMBER ss..A. ~
Expert Points Out What Seems to Him
imperative Need of National
Forest Policy.

"One of the most interesting things
to come to my knowledge is the seem
ing lack of interest on the part of the
people of the United States to save
our forests" said Charles Lathrop
Pack, president of the American For
estry association. "Our new growth OF
timber is not more than one-third Of
the amount being used or destroyed
every year. There is an end to all
things continued Mr.. Pack, land the
timbermen, lumbermen and wood-using
industries must get together with the
foresters on national forest policy of
some kind. We all know about locking
the stable door after the horse is
stolen, end we can all stand around
and wonder what to do when the we'll
runs dry, but what are we going to do
when the forests give out? Place your
finger on something into which the use
of wood in the making does not enter.
Rather hard for you to do it, / will
say. The newspaper owner knows
about the mounting cost Of print paper
and the cost of the barrel In which you
find your flour has gone away up. You
cannot eat the paper or the BARREL but
they figure big in the high cost of living
you hear so much about. We must
have a national forest policy in this
country, and that sOOn." /

HELPING FRANCE TO REBUILD
Californians Responsible for the Erec-
ton Of Model Village In the
Devastated Region.

Anyone acquainted with the mar
velous recuperative energy Of France
will hardly be surprised at the pace
with which she is rebuilding her waste
places and desolate heritages. Less
than two years ago, along the banks
Of The Marine, all was ruin and desola-
ton; where once had been thriving
villages, not one brick stood upon an
other. Today, houses amidst their
neatly planted gardens are springing
up everywhere, and the peasant Is to
be seen once more serenely at work
in the fields as though during these
past years he had known no other
setting for his labors than this silent,
peaceful countryside. One thing he
has gained from this destruction and
building up again. The dark, incom-
modious, often dilapidated home OF
the past has been replaced by COM
Portable up-to-date dwelling. Among
the most remarkable Of these post
belIum French villages is ore In the
department of the Meurthe ct Moselle,
which has been wholly rebuilt under
the superintendent of Californian
women, architects and designers. An
ideal model village, artistic, orderly,
practical in it's extreme simplicity,
this little homestead Is held in great
esteem by its inhabitants, who are de-
termined to prove themselves worthy
of so attractive setting.

JAP GAMES HAVE PURPOSE
Chlldren's Pastimes In That Country
/ Are Played With the Idea Of
strengthening Character.

For centuries before America was
discovered, Japanese children were
playing games upon which our boys
and girls considered they have mo-
nopoly, and which are regarded as
strictly modern. AS matter Of fact,
most Of our pastimes and games have
come to US from foreign lands, though
they have been modified to suit our
needs. and perhaps renamed.
PUSSY wants corner and "blind-
mans buff'' are as old as Japan itself.
AS played across seas, however. these
games are far superior to ours. Puss,
for instance, is represented as an
"Oni," or devil, the corners Of the
room the four safe harbors Of truth
with certain shelter from all harm.
In 'blind-man's buff" the children
wear queer little costumes made or
blue and white cotton crepe, with
painted eyes and queer stuffed beaks
resembling birds, for noses. They look
like weird little gnomes rather than
children, as they dash about In a fran
tic ,endeavor to catch their victims.
A ghostly game particularly en-
joyed by heroic boys requires the
same costumes. Some Of them plant
flags In different parts of the cemetery
during the day, under lonely tree
or by a hill, alleged to be haunted. AT
night they meet for their game OF
"soul examination" telling stories
about ghosts. COLLINS and oni. At the
conclusion of each tale when their i'm
aginations are so wrought up that they
are In terror. they go up the hill one
ut time and bring back the flags
planted there, until all are brought In.
Thus do they discourage fear and fos-
ter courage. the trait Of character that
they most coyet.

CARE FOR vACCINATED HOGS
Lack of Proper Attention Has Result
ed In Material Losses Which
May BE Avoided.

! prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture)
Improper care Of hogs following
their immunization against hog chol
era, administered In public stock yards
and after arrival at their destination
has resulted in losses which may be
materially decreased. The following
Instructions for the prevention OF
losses are valuable:
Shipments should be made prompt.
~ after immunization, or should be
delayed for not less than ten days
Truck hauls and shipments not ex.
ceeding SO hours in length can be made
promptly to advantage.
avoid crowding; allow stocker hogs
relatively more floor space than fat
hogs.
1T is important that drinking water
be constantly accessible to the hogs,
except in severe winter weather. If the
car does not contain special water de-
vices, water trough, protected by
Stats over it's top, should be securely
fastened to the floor.
"Little or no feed is necessary dur
ing the % hours following incubation,
but clean water should be accessible.
Short-haul shipments need not be fed
in transit.
"When hogs arrive at their destina-
ton they should not be driven over
the roads. but hauled from the car to
the farm in wagons or trucks. Load
and unload gently. Avoid chasing and
unnecessary excitement in handling.
In summer, unload where there is
natural woodland shade or shelter
pens; In winter where there are suit
able clean, bedded houses.
Protection against rain should be
provided.
