B. w. Walker finds that he likes
Hastings Prolific corn better than
any other variety.
w. v. Barry reports his tomato
plants thriving. They are nearly

j. A. Deere shipped 100 pure bred
Barred Rock hens to Florida last
week. Henderson county farmers
should give more attention to the
production of pure bred animals and
seeds for sale.
Dorsey Evans, of Darden, received
as net profit from his flock of poultry
$4,000 and the supplies of this kind
for his own table. He paid $4,000 per
ton for shorts, $500 for corn and $1.50
for oats. Keep an accurate account
of your farm operations and know
what you are doing.
Put one gallon of formaldehide in
one gallon of water and make up
enough of this solution to cover the
seed Irish potatoes after you have
them cut. Let stand for two hours.
This will do away with the scab if
you will plant them in a place where
you did not grow potatoes last year.
\ Many farmers remember the fine
talks made by L. A., Richardson, on
January 25th. We will have him with

Now is the time to begin to look up
the implements and material to spray
your orchard. You can have fruit if
you spray. Lyle Laws said Satur-
day: "We ate our last apples just a
few days ago; | was sorry to see
them give out" If you have apple
trees you need not be afraid to spray
them. You can sell all your surplus
at a good price on the local markets,
The Lexington Sweet Potato
Growers Association met here on
Saturday, Feby. goth. The business
transacted was to set the price of seed
and slips SO as to avoid misunder-
standings in the future. Every man
present reported profit on this
years crop. ]. F. Winslow, President,
called the meeting to order. He stat
ed that the organization had done
good work and was the first success
full one of any kind that had ever
eben started around Lexington.
Sodium flouride should be used on
all setting hens thoroughly before
they have the Matching eggs placed
under them. Put a pinch under each
wing, on the thighs, in the tail feath-
ers, on the breast and on the neck. If
this does not free her from lice it will
be perfectly safe to use the same
treatment on her again after the eggs
are put under her. Hens very often
quit setting on account of these pests
and you can't blame them. You can
not afford to feed LICE. Your drug
gist should have supply OF this ma
terial

Walsh Asks American Legion
Post to Tell Congress Its Desires
In Carefully Prepared Program

That the American Legion. after
consulting with the heads OF the
various governmental departments
dkaiing with the soldier problems
should prepare a program enumer-
ating their wants so that Congress
win know just what steps to take
in the rehabilitation and compsn-
sation of former service men. was
the advice given by Senator David
I. walsh, Of Massachusetts. at
meeting last night OF the Quentin
Roosevelt Post of the American Le-
gion at the New Ebbitt Hotel.
Senator waIsh advised the le-
gion members TO stay out of poll
tics and confine their work to the
care of the former service men. He
said that he was troubled at the
spirit of disappointment and dis
satisfaction among former service
men over the country who feel that
the help given. them by the gov
ernment has been given grudging-
ly. The former service men should
lose no time In having this atti-
tude changed, for people are more
than willing to bear any burden
necessary to adequately care for
those whom the war has ,incapsci-
tated.
