MARRIED MEN BEST WORKERS
Chances for Securing Employment on
Farm Are Less Than so Per
Cent for Single Men.

If you want a job on a farm your
chances of getting it are slightly better
than 80 per cent If you are married,
and slightly less than 90 per cent If
single. But If you're married and have
children your chances are around 40
per cent.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture has found that, Of 1,2Ol
farm Jobs advertised in eastern farm
papers from 1920 to 1922, single men
we're wanted In 3S7 instances, and
married men in 416 instances, In 39S
cases the social requirements were not
stated.
OF the advertisements for married
men children specifically were not
wanted in "a instances. Children were
wanted or were permissible in IA in
stances. >,
Many farmers who hire laborerT
have no dwellings to let and conse
uuently cannot employ married men, Il
is said. If the farmer has a dwelling
for a laborer's family he prefers tina
1t should be occupied.

SUMMER WEATHER AND FLIES
Many Calves Can Be Saved II Given
Careful Attention and Kept In
Shaded Pens.

Hot weather and flies ruin a great
many calves. 1t is advisable to pro-
tect the young animals very carefully
during the fly season. Spring calves
are never allowed by some breeders
to pasture the first summer, but are
kept in shaded pens away from the
heat and flies. Fall calves, likewise,
are not allowed pasture during the hot
days, but are turned out at night into
small paddocks or exercise pens. Un-
less the calf is getting plenty Of grain,
wnshy grass may do 1t mora harm
than good.

WAR GASES PROPOSED
TO ERADICATE PESTS
Some of Them Promise to Be
Quite Efficient.
Particularly Useful When Heavier
Than Air and Used on BurroWino
Rodents and Insects in
Stored Products.
prepared by the United States Department
of AHFiculturs.)

prepared by the United States Department
Of AgTieultnrs)
Deadly gases that were developed
for war purposes are now being tried
out by the United States Department
Of Agriculture as means for destroy
ing nOxlOus birds, animals, and insects.
Some Of them promise to be useful
when applied under proper conditions,
particularly those that are heavier
than air and can be used on burrOwing
rodents, and possibly subterranean In
sects and pests in stored products.
The most recent proposal is to use
gas to kill destructive birds that con-
gregate in marshes. In the coming
fall the biological survey, In cooper
alton with the chemical warfare serv'
ice, Is planning to make trial of the
method on blackbirds in the Imperial
valley Of California. In that region
these birds are said to do at least S5O,-
900 worth Of damage to the milo crop
each year. Because of their feeding
habits it Is impossible to destroy these
| birds with poisoned bats but, as they
rOOst on the reeds In the marshes, 1t
is thought that they can be killed by a
gas cloud at night when the wind is
| favorable The blackbirds are migra'
tory and return to the same places
year after year. 1t Is thought that a
big killing in a certain locality will
probably free it Of the pests for many
years.
Arrangements also are being made
by the biological survey with the chem
ical warfare service for investigating
the possibility Of using poison gases on
such burrowlng rodents as rats, prairie
dogs, ground squirrels, and wOoC
chucks.
EntOmOlOgists of the department
have already worked In cooperation
with the War department In testing
various gases on insect pests OF grow
ing plants and those that infest storet
grain, but 1t has not yet been fOunt
advisable to recommend anything t.
take the place of hydrocyanic-acld ga
or carbon blsulphide.
The serious disadvantages Of man
Of these new gases is that they ar
, dangerous or very irritating to meL
horses, and mules, and require the us
of masks and great care In handling.

Chacherre pOcketed the envelopes,

know; a niger shot him yesterday.
The niger threatened to squeal unless
he got his money baCk-Lafarge was
fool and didn't know how to handle
him. The boss says to shoot a new
man down there. Also, he says, you'd
better watch out about spreadln' the
lottery into Texas and Alabama, ac-

The heavy features of Gumberts
closed in a scOwl.
"You tell your boss" he said, that

Masquer. I've told him before that

KEEP HOE GOING IN GARDEN
Success Of Vegetable Crops Depends
Greatly on cuItIVatIon-Plan
to Keep Weeds Out.

Mach Of the success, of vegetable
Ecilture depends on keeping the hoe

That is Just the very best time for the

possible between the rows Of all young
growing vegetables to open up the
soil and lay 1t ready for the action OF

never get foothOld, far less reach the
