grades highest, and consequently brings
the most money, is usually that having
the best natural green color. Hay
dealers can often tell from the color
whether hay was cut early, medium.
or late, and in their opinion the best
hay Is the early cut hay and the
poorest that which was cut late.
The average hay grower, however,
In some sections at least, does not
agree with the terminal market theory
IF quality as Indicated by color. Many
producers prefer medium or late cut
hay, especially for horses, because II
is easier TO cure and not as "washy"
as early cut hay.
In some markets size ard weight
Of bales Is an important factor. since
there is sometimes a difference OF sew

reasons for the demand for certain
sizes and weights are numerous and
not always based on facts, 1t is said.

trading, 1t pays the seller to aim to

prepared by the United States Department

A method Of rendering negligible the
| heavy damage that would otherwise he
inflicted by the sweet-potato weevi!
has been found by the United
States Department of Agriculture. A
review of the work done in Florida
and Georgia is contained in depart
ment circular POI, bureau of ento-
mology, United States Department OF
Agriculture. Measures successful In
the eradication Of the pest in that sec.
ton are outlined briefly as follows:
The old field should be thoroughly
cleaned over at harvest, the vines be-
ing fed to stock or burned, and the
Beld holged over.
The potatoes should be banked as
FAR away as possible from the old
field and from the site selected for the
next years potato field.
All potatoes on the farm should be
disposed of early.
No potato or plants from the old
crop should be used on the farm and
no draw.bed should be planted.
Old potato banks should be cleaned
as SOOn as empty.
Only draws from sources known to
be free from the weevil should be used.
The Georgia-Florida location was Sc
lected for the test because the situa-
tiCn there was serious. the section in
land, climatic conditions adverse. and
many growers unused to ways of CO.
operation. No more unfavorable con-
ditiOns, ii was thought, were likely
TO be encountered anywhere in the
country. All these, and other minor
difficulties, have been s~urmounted,
however, and the department, In its
circular, announces the following ION
clusions:
The results of the work offer con-
%vincing proof that the same methods,
followed with painstaking care, will
be successful in Graduating the sweet
potato weeyil in almost any infested
plants do not offer a fresh and on
tinuing source OF new infestation.
Careful sorting Of the crop. the use of
clean planting stock, and ar annual
change Of Locations for the main plant
ing, eve in a continuously infested
locality will reduce infestation of the
tubers to n practically negligible
quantity.
There Is no more reason for al
lowing a sweet-pOtato crop to be de-
stroyed annually by weevils than there
is for letting the weeds take 1t, and
conscientious neighborhood effort In

have been outlined may free any dis

FARMS STRIPPED BY LoCUSTS
Swarms of the Pests in Regions
of South Africa.

Astonishing stories of the new in
vasion of CRAFT Reinert, South
Africa, by great armies of locusts,
according to the Johannesburg cor
respondent of the London Daily Elk
press, were related by farmers at a
meeting of the Zwart Ruggens
Farmers association.
One farmer related how he fought
locusts with all his laborers for three
months without cessation, destroy
ing large armies, but making no i'm
preston on the countless hordes
ever travelling up from the South.
Another farmer, though he fought
last seasons swarms with all his
might, was swamped by the millions
that eventually ate 800 acres of
crops and laid tens of hundreds of
millions of eggs on his farm.
A third farmer had planted 25
bags of wheat, and the crop was all
devoured by locusts.
Some farmers claim to have de-
stroyed all locusts Matched on their
particular farms last season, only to
find big swarms flying.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

Capital punishment prevails in all
the states of the Union except Ari-
IONA, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota,
North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island
and Wisconsin. The death penalty
was abolished in the state of Wash
ington in 1913 and restored in 1919.
1t was abolished in Iowa in 1872
and restored in 1878. 1t was also
abolished in Colorado in 1897, but
was restored in 1901. For two years,
1917 to 1919, it was abolished in
Missouri. Hanging is the ordinary
mode of execution, but in Arkansas,
Indiana, Massachusetts, New York,
Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Yer
mont, Virginia and Oklahoma cleo
trocution is the legal method. In
Nevada hanging or shooting is OPP
tional with the condemned.

ANCIENTs HAD THEIR DOLLS
Such Playthngs Figured Largely in
the Writings Of the Famous
Classic Authors.

The child's doll is by no means q
modern invention. The ancient Sar-
dis has sometimes been called the
Greek Nuremberg, on account of its
production on large scale not only
of toy horses, dogs, fish, hens and
lions, but of terra-cotta dolls, which
were eagerly sought after through
out the Greek world.
Dolls, too, figure in the classic
authors. Plato once compared a
man to the figure of doll, and his
passions to its strings referring,
presumably, to some kind Of marion-
cite. In one of the fragments of
Sappho's poetry she pleads: ooh,
Aphrodite, do not disdain the pur-
pie draperies Of my doll. 1t is |,
Sappho, who dedicate to thee these
precious offerings" Again, Plu-
tarch, being absent from home at
the time of the death of his two
year-old daughter, writes to comfort
his wife by recalling the sweetness
of the lost baby, and says: "She
begged her nurse not only to feed
other little children who played with
her, but also to give food to her
dolls"
SO much artistic skill was spent
on the Greek terra-cotta doll that
by the Fourth century B. G. it was
almost perfected into a statuette.

oDD-MANNERED FLOWER

Perhaps the witch-hazel thinks its
simple little yellow blossoms would
not compare favorably with the gor-
geousness of fall chrysanthemums-
perhaps it wants to be originate
all events, not until "mums" and
other varieties of autumn flowers
are gone, and even the leaves of the
witch-hazel itself have fallen, do the
witch-hazel flowers appear.
Very late in October, or more like
ly in November, you will find the
cheerful little yellow blossoms grow
ing right beside the last years seed
pods. These little urn-shaped seed
pods split when frost comes, and the
four seeds contained in each pod hop
ut onto the ground, where they will
take root and grow in the spring.

poKEs FUN AT SOUR MILK
Here Is One Writer Who Evidently
Does Not Believe 1t Is All
Claimed for IL.

That delightful sour milk story is
out again, says the Kansas City
Star 1t comes this time from eau
casia, whence professor of the Uni
versity of Kiev sends the glad word
that he has discovered a village
where almost everybody is at least
one hundred years old.
That's the way all the sour milk
stories start, and it was identified in
stantly without further reading.
And, sure enough, upon investiga-
ton our Kiev professor found that
these hale, and sprightly persons
had fed on sour milk and cheese
from childhood's happy hour.
There is only one disturbing thing
about these stories. 1t is the fact,
well attested by travellers who do not
happen to be professors, that the in
habitants of the Balkan and the
other regions where this legend of
sour milk has its habitat never know
how old they are. They all look to
be one hundred or more, but are
more likely to be fifty.
They lead hard, outdoor working
lives, and if they don't happen to be
killed in war they have in middle
life the appearance of extreme old
age. If you ask them if they are
one hundred they'll say yes. Prob
ably they felt that way.
The fact is, life in the Balkans
isn't longer than elsewhere, and is
more likely to be shorter. Another
fact is that sour milk is a principal
food there because other foods are
scarce. But, anyway, the sour milk
story is delightful story and we
hope to see it again.

IRON WILL NOT STAIN

A stainless iron, which is more
expensive than brass, because it con-
tains carbon-free chromium, or fer
rochromium, has been placed on the
market by three British firms in
bars and sheets, according to infor-
nation from London. 1t is used for
automobile wheels, hoods and bodies,
and as it does not corrode or tarnish,
painting or vanishing is eliminated.
Unlike stainless steel, the new nom
corroding product contains less than
one-tenth of 1 per cent carbon, and
can be forged, pressed or stamped.
