Farmers in West Use Corn as
Fuel.

Washington, Nov. Corn at 81
cents bushel is equal in value to
coal at SIG ton, Secretary Wallace
said today, commenting on reports
that some farmers were burning corn
for fuel. At 20 cents a bushel, he said
corn would be equivalent to fuel coal
at $40 ton.
"In districts where corn is very
cheap now the coal is of rather poor
grades and is selling at high prices"
he continued. "Under such condi-
tions it will pay both farmers and
people in the country towns to use
corn instead of coal. Undoubtedly
large quantities of corn will be burn
ed on Western farms this week unless
the price should materially advance"
Mr.. Wallace said the use of sur
plus grain as fuel in times of low
marketability in other cereal raising
countries, corn having been burned
in Argentina under such conditions,
"not only on the farms, but in the
power plants"

Attention, Beekeepers!

Clemson College, Nov. S.-The
bee-keeping specialists of the Exten7
tion Service find a most unusual cons
dition to exist in the bee yards at
this time in regard to brood rearing
The heavy crop of white asters are
yielding an abundant supply of hon
ey and large amount of honey is be-
ing stored throughout the state; but
the point difficult to understand is
the fact that the brood chamber is
being stored full Of honey, there be-
ing but very little brood present.
When queen abandons egg lay-
ing at this season of the year, even
though there is plenty of honey in
the brood chambers and the supers
it does not encourage the beekeepers
because the colony is forced into
winter-quarters with old bees greatly
predominating. These dwindle more
or less during the winter, causing
a weak colony in the spring which
may not be able to develop full
strength in time for the first honey
flow. &
1t is hoped that when the honey
flow stops and some Of the honey in
the brood chambers is consumed,
the queen may yet react and lay eggs
to furnish supply of young bees
for the winter.
Think about winter packing. Do
it right or not at all.

the meat to cure. Allow two days in
the cure for each pound in a piece of
bacon and 2 1-2 days for each pound
in ham or shoulder.
Much of the superiority of pack
ers' meat comes from proper soaking
after curing and before smoking.
This brightens the meat and removes
excess salt, which will harden and
form crust if left on through the
smoking process. The packers use
water at about 65 degrees Fahren-
heit and soak hams or shoulders two
hours, bacon 1 1-2 hours. Sometimes
meat must be left in the cure longer
than the standard time, and then they
add three minutes extra for each
day over time.
After hanging about 8 hours to
drip, the meat is ready to smoke.
Green hickory or maple makes the
best smoke, but any ordinary hard
wood will do. Soft woods or resinous
woods are very unsatisfactory. A
| mild smoke of "a to SO hours is most
common. Twelve hours should be the
minimum, and meats that are to be
kept into the summer should be smok-
ed longer than So hours.

Keeping the Orchard Sanitary. y

Clemson College, Nov. 8.-Many
insects and diseases live over winter
in brush, grass, leaves, and other
trash that collect about orchards. The
adult insects and the disease spores
which pass the winter in such trash
come to life in early spring and at
tack the new crop of fruit and the
young growth. To lessen such dam
age fence rows and ditch banks
should be cleaned out and burned IN
order to destroy all hiding places ri
the insects and hosts of the dieases.
Any dead bush or limb about the or
chard should also be burned. L.
The trees should be inspected to
see that all dead wood is cut out as
we'll as any other wood infested with
shot-hole borer. If brown rot has
been severe in the orchard the past
seasons, all mummied peaches should
be pulled off the trees, and those that
have fallen should be raked up and
burned. This disease passes the VIM
ter on the mummied peaches and II
not destroyed will produce spores IN
the spring to reinfest the next CROP.
When the orchard is burned this
winter all limbs which have been
pruned off should be removed and
burned. Trees that are found low in
vitality should be pulled up and
burned, or plans made to give them.
special care annd increased amounts
of fertilizer the coming spring and
summer in order to give them re-.
newed vigor and keep them from be-:
coming breeding places for insects
and hosts of diseases. :

Much Work in Making Honey.

Few persons realize the enormous
effort required to make single
pound of honey. In pound jar, the.
Manchester Guardian tells US, there
is the concentrated essence of sixty
thousand flowers.
To make pound of clover honey
the bees must take nectar from sixty
two thousand blossoms and make g.
100000 visits in getting it. Often the
journey from the hive to the flower
and back is as much as two miles, so
that the making of pound Of honey
requires journeys that may aggre-
gate more than 5 million miles.

EDUCATION OF HIS SON
 It is graduation day at college, and the pampered son of a million aire returns home. His millionaire father, who owns a string of soap factories, figures up in detailed account just what his son has cost him since his birth and arrives at a total of two hundred and ninety three thousand dollars. The father starts the by to work in one of his factories, making soap. But the young man gives up his job. This is the situation that starts all the complications in Tt Pays to Ad- vertise," new Paramount-Artcraft picture starring Bryant Washburn, which will be shown at the Liberty Theatre for the last time tonight.
 This is. said to be one of the most delightful light comedy ve- hicles in which MT Washburn has yet appeared. The action is filled with sparkling comedy and the eli max is triumph for the truth of the well-known slogan. A delight full romance runs throughout the story Lois Wilson is leading woman.

Sk4ffff- tr .tfs-f of the. Dutch. Minister of War. In responding, the then Empress de- clared that Germany repeatedly Y had manifested her readiness for peace which, she declared, had not been entertained by the opposing powers.
 That she subscribed to the con. tention of military leaders that Ger. many was fighting defensive war, was shown by statement she is sued at the beginning of the great conflict in which she said that Ger many was. arming itself for figh. (which it did not cause or begin and which 1t is carrying on only to de- fend itself" In this appeal snc asked German women to aid in car ing for the German wounded.
 Sympathy for Soldiers
 Numerous instances in which the former Empress visited German hos pitals and expressed lively sympathy for the wounded soldiers were re ported during the war. On one oc- casion she was said to have broken down at the sight of great numbers of the German wounded sent home after one of the great battles in 1918. For more than 12 years she was semi-invalid.
 Her sympathy with underpaid workers of Germany was disclosed on a visit which she paid some years ago to an exhibition of home indus tries in Berlin where it was stated she was deeply moved by the evi- dence she saw there of the fact that many German workers earned only starvation wages. What can be done to stop this misery?" she in quired
 Tender Mother
 Her tenderness as a mother was revealed during the illness of her second son, former Prince Eitei, whom she attended day and night. Arriving at the house where he was under physicians care at a. m. one moning she refused to rouse any one for fear of disturbing him and with her maid, walked up and down | for an hour in the wintry morning until the doors were opened by the servants
 One of the stories told of her js that she enjoyed visiting schools 1T country districts, selecting one ot the pupils and promising the chilt to fulfill any wish the child might express. A disconcerting instancs happened when she did this in Al sace where the schools were being Germanized and the French language suppressed little girl, receiving the promise of the Empress to gran her wish, asked that her schoolmate! be allowed to study the French Ian guage The Empress was takel aback but French lessons were giver in that school afterward.
