off the mound in the first inning.
With three runs scored and no one
out, Norris Reynolds was sent in
and stopped the rush, the North

LIST base until the 7th inning,
and but one runner getting as far as

The Sun boys were not able to

"The American farmer is not going
to be able this year to pay freight on
water" said a department official.
water makes up large part of fresh
fruits and vegetables. The answer Is
that he must grow his own table food.
He must also study the possibilities OF
substitution. This applies to vegeta-
bles, fruits, poultry, eggs and dairy
products which must be transferred
from commercial channels to home
consumption If they are to come with

Peculiar Condition Created.
specialized farming has created
conditions of which comparatively few
persons are aware. The grain farmer
in many instances buys even his pota-
toes and green vegetables; the fruit
farmer buys his dairy products; and
even the man who raises milk FOR
creamery, condensary or cheese FAC
tory is likely to send his cream on
milk away, feed the skim milk or whey
to the calves, and not make his own
butter. This year, just as far as pos
slble for him to alter his system In
single season. the department Off
cials advise that he get back to the
old plan which was aptly described as
living at home This means not so
much remaining on the farm as 1t
does deriving every practicable prod
uct for consumption from the farm.
'"The average American farmer
knows how to raise other crops than
those on which he specializes, but 1t
has seemed good business, or at least
expedient, to devote his energies to
very few or even a single cash crop
and buy his necessities, Just as Is
done In other specialized industries.
The grain farmer Is perfectly capable
of raising his own potatoes, his green
garden stuff, and melons, tomatoes
and other garden fruits, to take the
place of orchard fruits which in many
parts of the country have been killed
by the late freezes. If the farmer has
piece Of really good garden ground
he can add materially to the variety
and wholesomeness of the farm food

eral years.
Poultry Most important Meat Supply.

With the increased freight rates this
year. the general farmers principal

meat supply will come out of his poul-
try yard, either in eggs or in. table
chickens and other fowls. Poultry Is
the quickest meat supply to produce,
and the farmer will do well to build
ur small flock as rapidly as possible.
The increased freight rates on but
ter and eggs, together with the farm
money shortage due to the disappOint-
ing returns from last years crops, will
make 1t advisable for many farmers
wives to return to the butter-making
arts which they learned as girls from
their mothers and which have been
largely discontinued as farmers be-
came specialists.
Fruit Is likely to be scarce in large
and important farming regions, but its
place can largely be taken by vegeta-
Bile products. Two things are clear.
In the first place, the average farmer,
as ii stands now. cannot afford to pay
freight on the water which makes up
the larger part Of both fresh and
canned vegetables and fruits. In the
second place. under existing conditions
he can raise those things cheaper him
self than he can buy them, apd he can
make many substitutes out Of the
garden and poultry yard if he sets
out to do it. He has the material for
the crops. while he is short of money.
1t Is not good business to run In debt
except for essentials of production"
The Department of Agriculture will
be glad to give information and ad
vice to those who wish to diversity
their homegrown food supply.

Arranging the size Of lots on the
basis of one acre to rs sheep Is more
satisfactory than seeding larger areas
and using hurdles to permit advance
to fresh feed each day. Less labor Is
necessary, and by going to entirely
new ground after ten or twelve days
the danger of picking up parasite
larvae on ground grazed over earlier
is prevented With one-acre lot for
25 ewes, or correspondingly larger
ones for larger flocks, 1t is an added
advantage If their length Is two or
three times the breadth.

would last longer than was considered
safe to hold the flock on the same
