RECORD INVALUABLE
IN ARRANGING WORK
Il Is often Means of Saving
Labor Costs.
Farmer Enabled to Determine Number
Of Days Necessary to Produce
an Acre Of Any Crop, or for
Caro- Of Animals.

PREPARED by the United States Department
of Agrculture.)
Keeping a record of farm labor does
not require much time, yet 1t Is often
the means Of saving labor costs. The
United States Department of Agri-
culture has found such records or
great value In the cases Of many farm
ers whose experience has come to Its
notice. The labor records should
show Just how much man labor and
team work Is required on each crop
and the season when II Is used. They
should show what proportion of the
labor is devoted to work that d.
rectly produces Income, and the
amount that is consumed by odd jobs
or indirectly productive tasks.
This will enable the farmer to de-
termine the number Of days of man
labor and horse labor necessary to
produce an acre of any crop, or for
the care of any class Of animals for
a year. Thus he may be able to re-
arrange his system of management so
that he can get along with less labor
and, at the same time, maintain pro-
duction.
A years labor records show, also,
just how much man power and horse
power Is necessary to run the entire
farm at different seasons, and point
out accurately just what are the re-
quirements of the rush seasons. With
such records before him, the farmer
knows in advance approximately what
his labor requirements will be when
the peak load comes. Thus he is able
to increase or decrease the different
farm enterprises and fit them together
until he has outlined complete years
work with a fairly even load Of labor
for the entire season.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
The United States Department of
Agriculture and the state colleges of
agriculture are frequently asked for
the best method of organizing for gar
den work. Among the most success
full city, town and village organiza-
lions, those that are organized on a
cooperative basis, including all
branches of the local government, the
citizens associations, the merchants
and other business mems associations,
also schools and churches, have proven
most effective. In order, however, to
centralize the direction of the work
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture advises that q special gar
den committee or governing board be
appointed. Under the direction OF
this committee, or board, all matters
pertaining to securing the use of land
the purchase of seeds, fertilizers,
plants and other materials are han
died and the general supervision of
the garden work maintained.
Formation of Club.
Where the work has not already
been started, the formation of the or
ganization should be perfected before
the garden season begins, and all ar
rangements for the use of land and
the purchase of materials consum-
mated before they will be wanted.
Someone, usually public-spirited cit
izen, who can spare time for the work,
should be appointed as director or
chairman of the board. A membership
fee Of 80 cents to 81 is frequently paid
by those who plant gardens and who
receive benefit from the organization.
In some cases a special trained gar
den leader has been hired to give in
formation and help to those who need
1t. Very often this supervisor has
been employed for a few months only
but this type Of supervision pays, pro-
vided the person employed under
stands his business. In most cases
prizes have been offered by the mer-
chants and business interests, first,
for the best individual gardens, both
In back yards and on vacant land,
and, second, for the various products
OF the gardens. Usually an exhibit
is held at some convenient time during
the latter part of the garden season,
and contest between the gardeners
is staged. These exhibits and con-
tests have been of wonderful value in
promoting a spirit of rivalry to pro-
duce the best. AS rule, however,
the gardeners have considered the gar
den products as they came upon their
home tables the greatest reward for
their efforts.

WAR EXPLOSIVES FOR ROADS
TrinitrotoluoI Has Become Ono Of
Most Desirable Agencies for
Construction Work.

Trinitrotoluol, one of the most eff
cient of wartime explosives, has be-
come, by adaptation, one of the most
desirable agencies for the peace-time
task of road construction, according
to reports received from many states
by the bureau of public roads of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture. The use Of this powerful ex-
plosive is becoming general through
out the Union wherever highways are
under construction. Out of the sur
plus war materials turned over by the
War Department to the Department Of
Agriculture and distributed by the
bureau of public roads among the
various states, approximately 10000
600 pounds of T. N. T. has found its
way to the road builders supply
houses. This is more than four times
as much as the total OF powder of all
grades distributed by the department
among the states.
The quantity OF II. N. T. distributed
up to September IS, among the states,
was 19,613,295 pounds. In addition
there has been distributed 1,79S9SS
pounds of blasting powder and 2,7S1,-
313 pounds of hand-grenade powder.
Among other materials of this nature
distributed among the states were
6,566 pounds of dynamite, $1,000
pounds picric acid. 93S,409 decorators.
131 ,674 exploders, 75,69S electric blast

Where a group of gardens is located
on one piece of land 1t Is often neces-
sary to provide special means for
financing the clearing, blowing and fit
ting the soil and later for policing the
gardens to prevent losses, either from
stray live stock or from theft. The
fees collected from each gardener to
cover these costs have varied in diff
ferent instances from 81 to So per gar
den, but rarely more than So. Any
funds that are left in the treasury at
the end of the season can be used for
promoting the garden movement the
following year or returned to the gar
deners.
Success in organizing city, town or
village garden work depends upon lead
ership, and the harmonious working
together of all concerned. One of the
most successful garden clubs of which
there is record is governed by board
of nine directors who are elected an
nually by ballot. The directors elect
chairman, secretary and treasurer,
who constitute the officers of the club.
This club has been in existence for
several years and has grown stronger
in Its organization each year.
The formation of clubs consisting of
those who plant gardens in their back
yards Is a little more difficult and
must include provision for rendering a
distinct service to its members. This
service may consist OF the purchase
of manure or fertilizers, blowing the
back yards, and supplying early
plants or seeds. The gardeners must
be made to feel that they are getting
something in return for their partici-
patton in the club and the payment of
dues, otherwise little interest will be
taken in the organization.
Cooperative Spraying.
In few instances the spraying of
crops to control insects and diseases
has been handled in a cooperative
way, using power sprayers which go
over the gardens at such stated inter
walls as may be necessary for good re-
suits. These power sprayers are
simply driven into the alleys, and
lines of hose dlscharging the spray
mixture carried into the gardens. In
this way effective spraying can be
secured at a less cost than if the gar
deners provided spray equipment to
do the work themselves. There are
numerous other ways in which back
yard gardeners can secure benefits
from organized efforts. The greatest
opening, however, for active organiza-
ton in the home garden line is among
those who plan gardens on commu-
nifty basis.

TRY NEW GARDEN VARIETIES
Excellent Plan TO Test Out Recently
introduced Plants In Addition to
Old Ones.

Most gardens are large enough to
enable the gardener TO try few new
varieties each spring. This is good
idea. It is hardly safe, nor Is II true
generally, that the old, tried varieties
are the best that can be had. There
are many new varieties being intro
duced every year and why not test out
a few In addition to the old favorites 2
