CARLISLE FARMERS AGREE
ON COTTON PRICES

Last Tuesday the farmers Of the
Carlisle Community met at the Car
isle School house and agreed upon
prices they would pay for picking
cotton this year. according 20 Mr.. ].
A. Burroughs, Of that community.
Mr. Burroughs reports that cotton is
opening nicely, and picking will be
going good within n few days. They
decided they would pay 75c per hun
dred and board or $500 per hundred
and pickers board themselves The
cotton in that community will yield
from one third to half a bale per
acre, and there Is quite a coed
acreage, though not near so much as
last year. Mr.. Burroughs says he
gathered bale 10 the acre last year.
All Of the cotton in that community

PRIMARY OBJECT OF
PARCEL POST TRADE
Difficult to Solve Problem Of
FaiI Prices.
Producer Seeks to Secure Increased
Prices and Consumer Wants Better
Produets-Agreement Should
Be Fair to Both.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
AS the object Of parcel post deal
ing is to obtain slightly increased
prices for the producer and better
products at the same price, or the
same class of products at lower prices,
for the consumer, the question Of ar
irving at prices fair 20 both is Inn
portant, and also difficult, say mar
keting specialists Of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
It is not likely, at least not for
some time to come, that eggs will be
marketed so largely by. parcel post
that the ordinary market quotations
can not be depended upon In arriving
at prices.
It should be comparatively easy for
a producer and consumer to agree
upon stipulated market quotations as
the basis for determining prices. A
consumer may desire dozen eggs a
week, the price to be an agreed-upon
figure above the wholesale quotation
for the best grade of eggs on the mar
ket that week. The necessary rela-
lions in this matter can be maintained
only by scrupulous honesty and mu-
tual trust.
The nature of the agreement be-
tween the producer and the consum-
err, whether reduced to writing or not,
should be made to suit the circum-
stances and be fair TO both. Per-
haps the first agreement should be
In writing; but later, if mutual con-
fdence and trust have been thorough
ly established, the contract may be
verbal.
The matter Of frequency and meth
cd of payment can be arranged in
various ways. For the first agreement
term, which may be year or less
cash IN advance might be satisfactory,
until a definite system OF orders and
payments Is established.
For the reason that eggs are abund-
ant in the spring and scarce in the
autumn and early winter, the con
tract should specify the quantities to
be supplied each week throughout the
year. The producer making an agree
ment with a consumer should under
take to replace or allow rebates for
I eggs lost by breakage ia shipping.

Good Illustration Of German charae-

Soldier In France.

One American who remained at

BEST VEGETABLES TO PLANT
Many Beginners Make Mistake Of
Planting Everything In cata-
Ios0e-PuIVerize Soil.

Some beginners in gardening be-
come very enthusiastic in early spring
when they look through seed cata-
iogues. They have a desire to plant
every kind Of vegetable deliberately
described and favorably illustrated.
AS a rule not more than 10 or 90
kinds Of vegetables should be planted
In the average home garden. say spe-
ciaIIsts Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Few beginners
also realize the Importance Of we'll
prepared seed beds. Pulverize the soil
as deeply as It is plowed. If tie soil
is coarse and lumpy even though its
surface is well broken up, the plants
will not thrive Large air spaces In
tho soil are injurious, but a great NUM-
Der of small ones are beneficial.
Give Egg-Makinq Food.
The hen that lays eggs 10 winter
must have egg-maklng food, which
means meat. milk. clover, bran and
vegetables, along with corn.
The Kenna record. (Kenna, Roosevelt County, N.M.) 190?-1924, 1921-04-01


Plenty Of fresh vegetables direct
from the garden to the table IS Of
vastly greater importance than the
money value, the cutting out Of mid.
dleman's profits or transportation
problems The question Of saving and
cost, however, may prove a very Inn
portant factor before the close Of an
other year. Already there Is much.
unemployment Of labor and the local
or home production Of foods in the gar
den is the surest way Of safeguarding
the family food supply. 1t is said that
the fathers Of the country could cut
themselves off from the rest of the
people and live comfortably for an
indefinite period because they can
produce practically everything that
they need. Gardens furnish an inn
portant part OF the living of families
on farms and the same principle will
apply to people who live in cities,
towns, and villages who have access
to a small tract Of land on which to
grow a garden.
There Is nothing connected with the
work Of cultivating a garden that has
a tendency to injure the health unless
overexerton is INDUCED In. Persons
who habitually work indoors should
be rather careful when they first be-
gin working in the direct sunshine.
When the work is first started the
muscles are stiff and weakened from
inactivity and it is necessary to go
slowly until they get into play.

WAS NEW ONE ON KITCHENER
Great British Soldier Somewhat Out
Of His Element When It Came
to chapIalns.

Here is a Lord Kitchener story, told
by the anonymous author Of "The Mir
rors of Downing Street" Kitchener
was a soldier and absorbed in his pro-
fession. Details outside of his ruling
passion annoyed him.
During the early days of the war
Lloyd George went to him at the war
Office and asked the appointment Of
UNCONVENTIONAL chaplains for the vaFi-
Gus sects of the army.
Kitchener had no interest in chap
lains. He regarded them as a negI-
gible factor in the fighting machine.
He opposed the appointments. Lloyd
George insisted, especially with respect
to Presbyterians. Kitchener finally
yielded and picked up his pen.
Every well" he said, you shall have
Presbyterian" Then a faint smile
lighted his serious face Let me see.
Presbyterian do you spell it?''

the vegetables needed by the average
family, say garden specialists Of the
department. The cost of all seeds
and fertilizers for garden of this
size should not exceed $50 to $19 and
may not cost more than So or $40.
Experience has shown that not more
than 100 hours should be required for
planting and caring for a tenth-acre
garden. This time is so distributed
throughout the season that the work
can be easily done by most persons
working in factories, stores, or Offices
1t means an average of about five or
six hours a week for a period Of 20
weeks or merely enough time for prop
er outdoor recreation and exercise
necessary for good health. More time
win be required early in the season
while the garden Is being prepared
and planted than during the summer
when not more than two or three
hours week will be necessary to
keep the garden In good condition.

Home vegetable gardens will be just
as important In stabilizing the food
supply in 1921 as they have been at
any time during the past few years,
say garden specialists Of the United
StaCag Department Of Agriculture,
Urgent need for increased production
of food during the war caused thou
sands of rural and urban residents to
plant gardens, which resulted In es-
tablishing the gardening habit. This
year, specialists say, home gardens
will play an important part in thrift
and economy. Thousands of acres of
uncultivated land in and about many
large cities Will be utilized this year
to furnish employment and recreation
to home gardeners who know that by
raising their own supply of vegetables
they can materially reduce their lIv-
ing costs.
