OUR FARMERS CORNER
Picric Acid

10000 pounds of picric acid has been assigned by the federal govern ment to Connecticut. Orders for the full amount must be secured in order that we may get any.
 What Picric Acid Is-A high ex- plosive used in large quantities dur ing the war by this and other ,oun- tries.
 A Safe Explosive-It is more in- sensitive to shock or impact and to friction than the commercial axplo- sive. It is difficult to ignite and will burn, at least in small quantities without exploding. It's use is not detrimental to soils. It should not be exposed to fire or flame. No met al should be allowed to come in con- tact with it.
 Effects-Will not cause headaches or other i'll effects when used in open air blasting operations.
 Strength---A cartridge as prepared for distribution weighs about six ounces and is equal to an eight ounce cartridge of dynamite for agri- cultural blasting.
 
 store the picric acid in dry place. It can be stored for long periods in dry places without deterioration.
 Detonators--It should be deton- ated with what is known as "No. 8" detonator or cap, of which there are two kinds, one fired by safety fuse and the other by an electric current. The Caps should be handled care fully and should not be handled or carired with the acid or any other high explosive.
 How Used---For stump and rock blasting, use exactly the same way as dynamite is used. Charges are placed in the same manner. The same number of cartridges should be used as in using dynamite. As stated above a No. 8 instead of No. cap should be used.
 For blasting ditches, the electric method of firing must be used be- cause the picric acid is so insensitive that it will not propagate.
 Price and Terms--The price of picric acid is $6.OO per hundred pounds to which should be added $1.OO for handling and $3.12 for freight, making total of $10.12 per hundred pounds, f. o. b. Hartford. Shipments are made in 100 pound packages. The State Board of Agri- culture will act as the distributing agency upon it's reception at Hart ford. Freight from Hartford to it's destination must be paid by the party ordering. Orders must state the amount desired and be accom- panied by check to cover full amount Individual orders must not exceed 1000 pounds. Orders will be received up to 10000 pounds. Orders and checks above this amount will be returned to the sender.
 Those desiring to secure any part of this allotment should act at once, and forward their orders to the State Board of Agriculture, Hart ford, Conn.

Fall-Sown Grain Protects
 Ground from Washing Away

Fall-sown grain crops in the South provide winter cover for the land, thus preventing washing and leach ing, says the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. They also pro- vide winter pasture and grain and forage for work stock and may be grown to advantage in rotation with corn and cotton. The oat crop is one of the best for fall sowing where it withstands the winter.
 The principal varieties of oats suitable for fall sowing are the Red Rustproof, Fulghum, and Winter Turf. The Red Rust-proof and Full ghum should be grown in the Gulf States, Georgia, and the Carolinas, and the Winter Turf in Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
 Fall oats should be sown on we'll prepared land with grain drill at the rate of 2 to bushels to the acre. The date of seeding varies from September 15 to November 15 according to the locality. Only clean, plump seed should be sown.
 Fall oats may be harvested with the binder or the mower. A large part of the crop is cut for hay or is fed in the bundle without thrashing Bundle oats and oat hay make excel lent summer feed for work stock Oats may also be used for pasture O1 as a soiling crop.

Terracing Sides of Hills
 Prevents Soil Washing Away


 Terracing the sides of farmland hills to prevent washing of the soil is a profitable occupation at any time of the year, but particularly so dur ing the fall when the farmer is not very busy. The cost of the work of ten will not exceed the water damage of single spring season. Soil ero- sion is held responsible for much of the worn-out hill lands of the Uni ted States, where if the water were checked by properly built terrace ridges it would cease to tear away the soil and instead permit the land to grow in fertility. Terracing is widely practiced in the South, and the United States Department of Az ricUlture regards it as advisable on the hill farms of the North and East. The various kinds of terraces and ways to plan and build them are des- cribed in Farmers Bulletin 997, which may be had on application to the department.

Where a town man has no time to go into the country to buy his bullets it often is possible to choose suit able birds among the live poultry shipped into the citv markets. The advice of some experienced person should be obtained before buying, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Local poultry associa- tions are glad to help prospective poultry keepers by putting them into touch with members having stock for sale. The board of trade CT the cham Der of commerce often can bring poultry raiser and buyer together.

and half an hour later, when she and
Cherry were sailing a frog on a shin

she came to her own room, just such
a room as little Charity Strickland had
had, only a few years ago, with white
hangings and unpainted wood, fresh
air streaming through it, and red
woods outside.
Cherry stumbled into the airy, dark,
sweet little bedroom, and somehow
undressed and crept between the cool
sheets of the bed that stood near
Alix's on the wide sleeping porch.
Her last thought was for the heavenly
redwoOds so close to her; she slept,
indeed, for almost twelve unbroken
hours.

Peter had been playing the piano
