Winter Grain Seeds
At State College

The splendid crops of winter wheat
and rye, harvested this yea have
created a great interest in winter
grains Farmers are to be cautioned
not to seed too large an acreage of
these crops unless they are prepared
to give them proper attention." When
seed Of the proper variety is secured,
and it is put into a good seed bed,
these crops are as sure and profitable
as any other small grains.
Many farms will be greatly benefit
ed by growing a winter crop. A better
distribution of labor is possible and
these crops are great aids in weed
eradication. Pure homegrown seed
is the best and by securing a copy of
the Winter Grain Seed List of the
South Dakota Experiment Association,
one can locate the nearest grower of
these crops. Besides locating these
sources of seed the experience Of
these growers is often very valuable.
Ask your County Agent for this seed
list or write to the Secretary, Expert
ment Association, Station A., Brook
ings, South Dakota.

until the game was over. .
Miller took the lead In the fourth
when Lucky" Luck. dropped Clark's
liner, and scored on S~chroeder's sing
lie, a wild pitch and Walsh's single.

Campbell were both safe on errors on
hard hit balls to short, and here Har-
rold held a big conference, shifting
Winkler to catch, Engle to second, w.
Peterson to short, and /. Peterson TO

err, Brinker scored when Henry missed
a throw to catch him at third.

Ordinary Hay Stack
Still Located In Il

Manchester, Aug. 22.-It looked just
like an ordinary hay stack, but when
prohibition enforcement officers had
failed to locate a still on the John
Marx farm southwest of here, they
started to examine the hay stack to
find that it was a ~cleverly concealed
distillery, a small barn completely
covered with hay so that it looked
just like an ordinary stack.
They found a large still, alright, but
II had not been used for a consider
able length of time, and no mash or
finished product was in evidence.

CORN X PRICES

Corn picking prices in Hand County
have started at &c. Some farmers are
paying &c and a few Sc.
Recently information has been cir
culated by some n very much mis-
informed that the County Agent had
"set the corn picking wages at loo
a bushel, and that everybody would
have to pay that much or not get
pickers."
For the benefit of those who are
spreading such rot and for the benefit
OF those who are willing to believe 1t.
| wish to say that the County Agent
Office has never set n corn picking
wages, % does it have any business
doing SO. The Office is not run for
that purpose, This Office is verv glad
to bring farmer and corr picker to-
gether. provide them the opportunity
for making their W bargain, and IL
requested, offer suggestions in con-
nection with the general corn picking
wages. No 10c corn pickers have
gone out from this Office this season

Ann Gray

Mary Ann Gray
Making the Kitchen COnyenlent-ln
arranging kitchen equipment the first
consideration is to save time and la
Dor. home economics experts say.
About 120 square feet is sufficient size
for the room, and it should have two
windows, with oil enamel painted
walls or oilcloth paper covering. The
colors used should be light, especially
for a northern exposure. White
scrim, muslin or checked Bingham are
most suitable curtain materials as
they let in the light and can be
laundered often.
Kitchen equipment consists of a
range Or oil stove, with a sink and
drain SO inches high-more il the
worker is tall-a work table with
shelves and drawers, a china and food
cupboard. A dish towel rack, towel
rod, covered garbage pail, clock and
a wall fastener where such utensils
as spoons, egg beaten, measuring cup
and knives can be hung, all add to the
convenience of the kitchen.
Location is important in making
this work shop attractive. The sink,
stove, table and cupboard should be
placed close together; a good arrange
'ment, If possible. is to have the cup
board at the right OF the sink, the
work table at the left and the stove
just opposite. The stove should be
placed so that a good light falls into
the oven when the door is open. A
soft rug placed before the work table,
when the housekeeper cannot sit on
the stool, makes feet Jess weary
Wooden Tests. Hold cloth up to
light; if the weave is loose and sleazy
that material will not hold its shape.
2. Ravel tut some warp; II 1t breaks
easily the material Will not wear, and
unless it tears hard and leaves a
rough edge the cloth is not wooden.

ing feathers when set afire and it
burns slowly. Cotton flames and

II used to think when times were flush
And everybody gay,
That money came from grain and hay,
That cows were poorer pay.
But now my eyes are opened wide,
Since feeds been down so low,
l know it pays to keep good cows,
1t always has been so.
High priced land and high produc-
ton costs will be the outstanding
farm problems of the future.
Clean up and disinfect the winter
quarters of the poultry flock before
settled cold weather comes on.

from the figures of the highway de-
partment is that LAP more auto
mobiles were registered in July than
in June.
For the first even months of this
year approximately 1900 more au-
tomobiles have been registered than
during the corresponding period in
1921 with about 100 trucks more
than in 1921. Despite this larger reg
~istration the total license fees COL
lected have been about $4,000 low
er than last year. Department Off

NEW AUTOMOBILES
BEING PURCHASED

Columbia, Aug. 5.-Approximate-
w 1900 new automobiles were reg
istered with the state highway de-
partment during the month of July,
which is n indication that the peo-
ple of the state have not as yet been
reduced to the proverbial "thin
dime" To be exact the number of
"brand new" automobiles registered
was 1,477. These figures indicate
that the people of the state are de-
termined to ride regardless of the
boil weevil, political races and a few
other evils.
In the new registration Richland
leads with 1913 while Greenville is
second with 1853. Spartanburg reg
istered 1874 and Charleston 1OS
while Anderson registered SO. Sew
enty-eight new truck were registered
during the month with Charleston
leading with II. Greenville was sec
ond with eight and Spartanburg and
Chester third with sever each. Rich
land registered five.

CARE OF THE PEACH
ORCHARD AFTER HARVEST

Clemson College, July.-As soon
as the fruit has been harvested, all
diseased fruit and dead twigs should
be removed Immediately. All weak
limbs on the tree that show any sign
of bark beetle injury should also
be removed. If these dead twigs and
limbs are allowed to remain on the
tree throughout the summer, the
bark beetle will gradually spread
over the entire tree and destroy it.
Since the fruit buds for next
wears crop are formed during late
summer, it is very evident that If
q good crop of fruit is to be had next
season the proper care should be
taken of this years growth.

Ito attend this meeting. Mr.. Moorer

charge of this demonstration.
There will be other talks of in
terest to everybody. Mr.. Gowan, the
farm agent of Abbeville County will
be present at this meeting and will
make a talk.
We must think about patronizing
the Greenwood Creamery seriously,
look at it from every point of view
and then see if you think it will pay
you to sell your cream to them in
stead of laboring over the .churn and
then sell your butter at the present
prices. We are not urging anyone to
go into this without taking it from
every point with the individual. Can
we be of any assistance to you, if
so come in and let US hear from you?

a percentage of .542 and Laurens
bringing up the rear with 1915. Some

Many charges and counter charges
were brought at the meeting, but the
above was the elimination and the
principal thing done at the meeting
In the future a club can protest an
ineligible player within one week
after the player has participated in
a game the former rule being that
the protest had to be made before
the end of the game.
While McMilligan, whose name is
really Milligan, had participated in
five games, he had been protested in
only one game, and this was ordered
replayed.
Everything is again lovely in the
league and peace prevails.-Index-
