Harvey appeared his same old self.
"Tli see you tonight--if you haven't

Florence had no other engagement

Florence was silent for a momeac.
When she spoke there were hints OF
tears in her eyes.
"It suits me, Harvey" she told him.

I'm yours alone. I'll never be mean

When Harvey left her that night he
was far happier than he ever had

SPRAYING CELERY TO
PREVENT LEAF SPOTS
Application Of Bordeaux Mixture
Is Recommended.
Treatment Should Continue Through
out Growing Season and More
Especially In Moist, Cool Wealth.
sr-Apply With Pump.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Celery plants should be sprayed with
bordeaux mixture every ten days to
two weeks to prevent leaf diseases,
which often seriously injure the crop
for market purposes. These leaf spots
occur generally In celery growing dis
tricts In the United States during cool.
moist weather. Homemade bordeaux,
composed Of 4 pounds bluestone (cop-
per sulphate) and 4 pounds stone lime
to 30 gallons Of water. is the cheapest
and best fungicide for the purpose
The spraying should be begun while
the plants are still In the seed bed and
continued throughout the season. The
sprayings should be more frequent
during moist, cool weather favorable
to the development Of the leaf spots

GULL POOR PRODUCING HENS
Work Should Be Started In Summer
and During Early Fall Months-
Comb 10 Indicator.

The hens should be culled out dur
ing the summer and early fall
months, beginning to Gull out the poor
producers just as soon as they stop
laying, which is usually In July and
August. When a hen is laying her
comb will be large. full Of blood. and
bright red In color As she stops lay
ing, the comb becomes small and
shrunken, pale or dull In color. and
is usually rather hard. Another good
Indication to use In selecting those
hens which stop laying early Is molt-
Ing. as the hens that start to mclt
early-that Is, iE July and August
are usually the poorest producers.
While a hen which has molted most
of her feathers is very easy to pick
out by sight without examination. the
only way to ascertain accurately
when the hens begin to molt Is to ham
die them. Before the body and wing
feathers are molted In any great num-
ber you will find short pin feathers
growing thickly on the back and In
the feather tracts running back from
the breast. indicating that these hens
have started TO molt and probably
have stopped laying II their combs
and general appearance indicate nom
production. The pelvic bones are alse
helpful In making this test as thess
two bones tend to close up when the
hen stops laying. II the spread b~
tween these bones measures two
fingers or less the probability is that
the hen is not laying, while II the
spread is greater. together with other
indications mentioned, she is probably
laying.

PROPER DRAINAGE ESSENTIAL
Heavy Application Of Manure VIII Gu
Long Way Toward Correcting Al
kali Condition.

Drainage is the most important fac
tor In alkaline soils In nearly all
cases. Good drainage Is an absolute
necessity In alksli correction. When
drainage Is assured. heavy applica-
ton Of horse manure will go q long
way toward correcting the slkali con-
dition. It may be necessary TO apply
some fertilizer carrying large amounts
Of potash. Corn is not the best crop
to consider In handling alkaline soils.
and oats or rye bring better results
until the soils are completely brought
back to normal conditions.

HOW TO FIGURE
COST OF CROPS
Farmer Enabled to Compute for

Ing Various Crops
REQUIREMENTS OF EACH CROP
u Precise Records Are Not Available
on Labor and Material Expsndl.
turss closs Estimats Can Be
Made Of That Section.

prepared by the United States Depart-
ment OF Agriculture)
Figures from which the farmer can
compute for himself the cost Of pro-
duction Of corn. corn for silage, wheat.
oats, and hay, under given conditions,
are presented In a preliminary report
on labor and material requirements of
those crops, recently issued by the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture. These figures cover the normal
hours Of man labor and horse labor,
and quantities Of seed. fertilizers, etc,
required per acre for each crop, as
determined by surveys by the office OF
farm management and farm econ0m-
ics.
Apply Basic Factors.
The money cost Is found by apply
ing to these basic factors the current
rates for labor, seed. etc. Inasmuch
rs II has been found that. In general,
labor and material costs approximate
80 per cent Of the total operating cost
for these crops, 1t Is easy to find this
total when the labor and material costs
are known.
The figures given represent average
crop requirements for the regions
where investigations have been made.
If the farmer does not have precise
records Of labor and material expendl-
lures for his own farm, he can esti-
mate them pretty closely by taking the
average for his own region as basis
and applying current rates for labor
any unusual conditions that may exist
In his own case The method Of COM
putation is as follows:
1. Determine the total cost OF labor
and material per acre by applying cur
rent rates to the quantities Of labor
and materials obtained from the in
dIvidual's own records. or, II such are
not available, use those given In the
table.
2. Determine the total operating ex-
pense per acre by dividing the cost of
labor and material by the percentage
figure given for each region.
8. Determine the total acre cost OF
production by adding the interest
charge or the cash rent paid for the
use OF land.
4. To determine the cost per bushel
or ton divide the total acre cost by
the yield per acre.
The following example shows how
this method worked out In figuring
the cost of corn for silage on an Iowa
farm:

DON'T CROWD GROWING CHICK
Where Space 10 Limited Youngsters
Become ovsrheated, Causing
Outbreak Of Coids.

Growing chicks must not be cOnflned
to crowded quarters at night. II they
are, they will become overheated and
this, In turn, will lead to the develop
ment Of colds Of which It Is very diff
cult to rid the flock and which may
be carried along through the summer
and fall, causing a serious outbreak
of colds in the laying fiocks the fol.
lowing winter.
How can one tell whether or not
the chickens have enough room7 One
of the best indications is the condl-
tion Of the plumage. II the plumage
Is bright and clean II Is a good sign
that the birds are doing well and have
room enough. II the plumage Is soiled
by droppings. 1t Is an indication that
there is not room enough for all Of
them on the roosts, with the result
that some are compelled to rest on
the floor beneath the roosts and thus
become soiled.
A trip to the growing houses after
dark will also determine whether
enough room Is being provided. II
there is not space enough so that all
the chickens can find room on the
roosts. the quarters are too crowded
and some Of the chickens must be
taken out. II all can find room on
the roosts comfortably and II the
house is well ventilated. the quarters
are not crowded and the youngsters
should do well.

TYPHOID FEVER REPORTqsD

About ten cases OF Typhoid fever
have been reported within this com
munity the last week. and it appears
as if much worse epidemic is APP
preaching this time than that which
prevailed here two years ago. A state
specialist along this line was here in
company with G. Nj. Adkins from Thief
River Falls last Saturday making blood
tests and otherwise investigating every
suspicious source. A popularity this
time seems to be that all cases so far
are confined to the male sex and only
in the middle ages from % years and
up No fatalities have occurred so far
and only one case is reported as CON
sidered very serious. Three patients are
confined to the Physicians hospital at
Thief River Falls. Typhoid yaccina-
ton is carried on extensively, but as
yet no check in the disease has been
promised. The cases are scattered as
far as eight miles apart.
