The Hoop La minstrel show which
the local post of the American Legion
put on in their hall last week Thursday
and Friday evenings more than realized
the boys expectations, and more than
pleased the throngs which filled the hall
at each performance. The Hoop La
rehearsals and the final performances
discovered TO the boys and to the pub
lie as well that Edgerton has among it's
young men and women considerable
dramatic talent, and that by training
most satisfactory theatricals could be
put over the boards in our little city.
The boys were fortunate in the man
who directed the Hoop La show, Mr..
Green. He was a real live wire, knew
his business, and made friends among
all classes of people in the city. 1t was
big undertaking to drill about rs per-
sons in period of about two weeks to
point where the whole performance
ran like we'll oiled clockwork, every
participant taking his or her part with
the assurance of veteran of the foot
lights. Several have commented upon
the ability of the Legion to put on
plays of more serious type, and how
desirable it would be to have plays of
real dramatic merit presented in Ed
gerton. Judging by the success of
Hoop La, this would seem easily posi-
BILE of realization. Financially the
minstrel show was also success. After
all expenses are paid the Legion will
have about 1915 to go on their bank &C.
count. The total income from the sale
of advertising and tickets was about
$1150.

Since it does not dry into the wood so rapidly it is more likely to soil the fowls and the clothing. Both of these materials can be sprayed bet ter if reduced with kerosene at the rate of about 1 part of kerosene to 8 parts of the other materials. Both often contain foreign particles which should be strained before the spray ing is begun.
 It has been found that one spra. ,- ing with either of these materials often will completely eradicate the mites, but ordinarily it is advisable to make a second application in a month, and in some cases a 'hi"d treatment is needed. Poultry should be kept out of the houses until the material is we'll dried into the wood. It is advisable to spray or paint chicken coops a few days before putting broods of young chicks into them.

Pads Reduce Cruising

In barreling apples for market,
 practically all growers use corruga- ted pads to reduce the amount of bruising caused by pressing the head
 of the barrel into place. If two pads are used, one is placed under the face and the other over the bottom of the barrel; if only one is used, it may be placed on either end, all though observations by the United States Department of Agriculture show that the single pad will best serve if placed on the bottom, espec- tally when the apples are jumbled and exposed to the rough and ire quently uneven pieces of the head which cut and bruise the fruit when the pressure is applied. Excelsior cushions are seldom used, because they are more expensive and have nc particular advantage over the cor. rugated pads in ordinary packing operations. If, however, a delicate and easily bruised variety is being

Early Fall Lawn Seeding
 Best for Northern States


 The first half of September is the best time for seeding lawns in most of the area south of the New Eng land States and north of the Poto- mac and Ohio Rivers, the United States Department of Agriculture states.
 After the preliminary preparation, which involves thorough working of the soil by some means, the surface soil to be seeded should be rendered fine with a rake or similar implement and a liberal application of we'll routed manure applied, or in lieu of this about 20 pounds of bone meal for every 1000 square feet. This fertilizer assists young grass rlants in making sufficient growth to pass the first winter in good condl- tion.
 A seed mixture recommended by the department consists of 16 parts of Kentucky bluegrass, parts re- cleaned red-top, and 1 part white clover. Sow at rate of approximately pounds per 1000 square feet. The main point in seeding is to SOW the seed evenly and cover uniformly but lightly with rake, or on large lawns with a weeder. Light rolling after covering is frequently bene- fcial.

Picking Apple Trees Over
 Twice May Be Profitable

Most apple growers remove all the fruit from the trees at one picking. Many, however, according to obser- vations of the United States De- partment of Agriculture, make two CT more pickings during the season, especially when the fruit is not uni formly of good color, but is otherwise Of high quality. The advisability of making more than one picking de- bends upon the extent to which the size and color of the fruit are affect ed by the quantity borne by each tree.
 The apples on the outside of the tree, especially the larger and better colored ones, are removed at the first picking to permit the limbs to lift and expose the uncolored fruit to the sun. This thinning also tends to bring about an increase in size of the fruit remaining on the trees. In the course of a week or 10 days the second picking is made, when the remainder of the crop usually is re- moved. In a few instances more than two pickings are made, especi- ally with early apples.
 Two pickings are more expensive | than one because of the additional time required, though the increase in the market value of the crop often justifes this practice. If the crop is of low quality the value of the re- turns usually are not sufficient to warrant the extra cost of more than one picking.

Save Corn for Extra Seed

When corn is selected from the field for seed, the United States De. partment of Agriculture urges that enough seed be selected to serve for two or three years plantings. This is essential in the origination and perpetuation of high-yielding vatie- ties adapted to local conditions. Seed corn that natures well and dries out promptly without injdry will keep it's good germinating and yielding power for four or five wears. Often a bad season will prevent the selection of desirable corn for seed. But homegrown seed corn of the best quality can be always available by protecting a sufficient quantity from moisture and from insects and other animals.

Keep Insects from Stored
 Seed with Carbon Disulphid'

Many seeds, especially beans, corn, and lettuce, are subject to injury by a number of insects, all of which may be destroyed by Immigration with carbon disulphid, say experts of the United States Department of Agri- culture. Carbon disulphid is liquid that can be purchased in tin cans at any drug store. When poured into dish it evaporates rapidly, produc- ing a foul-smelling gas that is heav- fer than the air. Therefore, in fumi- gating seeds, to kill insects attacking them it is necessary to place the car bon disulphid on top of the seeds in order that the gas may sink into them and reach every part of the contain CT. A tight tin pail, box, or barrel makes an excellent container for fu- migating seeds. For a tight barrel full of seeds one-half cupful of car bon disulphid is sufficient. For smaller containers, use in propor- tion.
 Seeds to be fumigated must be dry, and if they are in paper bags, the bags should be opened. The gas penetrates cloth bags easily. The liquid may be placed in any shallow dish, such as a saucer or plate, or merely poured on the seeds. The liquid will not injure the seeds If poured directly upon them. Imme- diately after starting the fumiga- tion, the container should be covered with several thicknesses of heavy paper, or other tight cover, and al- lowed to remain covered from one to two days. A longer Immigration in tin pails is apt to injure the ger minating power of the seeds.

OUR FARMERS CORNER
Milk as a Source of
 Energy and Protein

Energy and Protein
 It is a commonplace saying that milk is a perfect food. This may be taken to mean, say specialists of the United States Department of Agri- culture, that it contains, first, ma terials that children need for growth second, materials that young and old alike need for the upkeep and repair of their body machinery; and, third, materials that all need for fuel, to provide them with heat and with the energy necessary for work. Such statement should not be understood tc mean that milk has these in gredients in such proportions that it can serve satisfactorily as an eXclu- sive food for a grown person or even for a child. To the growing child, however, no other food can satisfactorily replace milk as a part of the diet. Each child should take a full quart of milk each day if possible, or at least a pint without fail
 While a healthy adult could live on milk alone for a considerable time, the digestive organs do their work better with at least some solid food. Too large quantity of milk aione-at least four or five quarts a day-would be required. Neverthe- less, milk is much more than a bev- craze. Milk ranks high among our common food materials as a source both of energy and of protein.
 Milk and milk products can be used interchangeably with meats and eggs as a souce of protein. A quart of milk contains as much protein as ounces of dried beans or a 12- ounce loaf of bread, and while the legumes and cereals are considered a cheap source of protein it should be remembered that their proteins are not so completely utilized for tissue building as those in milk, meat, and egg.
