 Do not turn hay by hand. It Is too costly. The cheapest and most efficient way of stirring hay in the windrow is with two-horse tedder. One man with a tedder will do more work than 12 men stirring with hand forks. It Is not even necessary to have man to run the tedder A boy big enough to drive team will do just as much work.
 A one.horse rake operated by q man makes raking very costly. A two-horse sulky rake is better, hut tte side de- livery rake Is best When curing Is done in the swath and hay loader hay from the windrow as soon as the side delivery has made one double win. drow across the field, If the sulky rake Is used. the crew will have to wait until the rake has gone several times across the field. In this matter the extent of the having operations has to be considered. of course. On very small farms the use of the slde-de- livery rake might not be economy.
 If the weather is clear and the hay Is in proper condition. there will be no necessity for hay caps or for further labor till the hay Is hauled. But hay caps will pay for themselves in one year when the weather is bad. They are more especially needed with clover. alfalfa. and pea vines, all of which cure slowly.

REDUCE LOSSES IN SHIPPING
and Packing Spinach 10 Urged by Specialists.

Losses in long distance shipments of spinach can be greatly reduced by careful handling in harvesting and packing together with effective re- frlgeration in transit, according to specialists of the bureau of markets of the United States Department of Agriculture. Decay and deterioration in transit caused by the development of slimy soft rot cause serious losses to shippers in some sections.
 "This decay develops rapidly in transit when temperature conditions are favorable" say investigators of the bureau. Tt starts at places where the leaves have been bruised or woundod and 1t very frequently fol lows attacks of blight or other field Diseases. Other causes of deterora- tion in transit are yellowing and wilt ing of the leaves. Prompt handling and shipment at low temperatur largely reduce losses from / these causes"
 When barrels are used, 1t is advis- able to scatter crushed ice in several layers through the container, large layer being placed oa top of the spin ach next to the barrel head. Holes bored in the bottom of the barrel pro- vide drainage. Shipments in baskets or crates carry best with layer of crushed Ice in the center of the con- tainer and another layer on top of the spinach just under the cover.

MADE LEGION DRIVE SUCCESS
Dare Devil Louisiana Man Put Real Thrills Into Campaign for
 New Members

When Anthony Kelley was dis charged from the navy in New Or leans La. he found the life of land- lubber terribly devoid of thrill and peril. He had been going to sea since the age of fifteen and he missed the excitement of stormy nights in the dizzy heights of the crows nest and hair-raising trips on the ropes far above the deck
 With the start of membership campaign of Rollin post of the Ameri. can Legion in New Orleans. Kelley blossomed out as professional dare devil to assist his fellow Legionnaires in attracting attention. He climbed < flag pole atop the city hall. several hundred feet above the pavement and rocked back and forth trying to break the pole. A net stretched below was all that was between the daring Le- gionnaire and some exceedingly hard terrain.
 Kelley was unable to break the flag pole, however So he scaled an eight een-story building and hung from the coping by his toes. Film companies rushed camera men to take motion pictures of the feat and the Legion membership drive was success.
 None of it was as thrilling as the four years and four months I was in the war zone" Kelley declares. He

Tho main causes leading to swarm ing are lack of ventilation, lack of space for tie queen bee to lay eggs, insufficient room for storing honey, anN oyer-abundance of drones or | queen bee that has become too old. To prevent swarming therefore. these conditions must be avoided, suggests the Extension Service bookkeeping specialist The queen alone is normal. ly capable of laying eggs. and for this reason swarming Is necessary to make new colonies and perpetuate the race.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 The hay crop, even when the labor supply is normal. causes more worry, anxiety. and disappointment than any other crop The time for harvesting Is comparatively short. Other crops re quire attention at the same time And the weather is to be reckoned with.
 A greut deal of labor is wasted every year during hay harvest. say special tsts of the United States Department of Agriculture. not because of actual idleness on the part of the workers, but because labor Is expended unnec- essariiy on operations that do not utilize it to the best advantage. If an old method can be superseded by a new one that will enable the same work in the same length of time. or fewer men to accomplish the same work in the same length of time, 1t will mean more hay saved, more profit to the farmer, and better con ditiOn for the country.
 oVitt ouVOen from wan 10 FNoTv0.
 Although there is scarcity of man labor. there are still plenty of horses on most farms, and herein largely lies the solution of the problem. On farms where considerable hay Is grown methods must be adopted by which the greater part of the heavy labor Is done by horses. This will neceSsitate the general use of certain types of labor saving machinery. some of them not so common in the East, which have been thoroughly tested and proved satisfactory in the western part of the United States. The small hay grower. however. need not make a very heavy investment in new having apparatus. for by rearranging the working of his crew and using little more horse labor for the hard work he can add considerably 10 the efficiency of his crew.
 Here are some suggestions made by the specialists for avoiding of labor in haymaking.
 Do not run two or more mowers close together. If the front mower has any trouble that causes 1t to stop. all of the mowers usually wait while re- pairs are made on one. There is tendency. also. for drivers to waste
