Three Steamers Put on River to
Care for Big Crowd

Three steamers, the st. Johns,
Mooseheart, and Eagle, are being
operated to Quantico. Va, the
marine corps post, today to give
Shriners and their families an op.
portunity to inspect one of the best
marine camps in the country.
Marine corps officials announced
last week it would take Shriners
to the camp on the st. Johns. The
response was so great that it was
found necessary to add two more
steamers to the Washington Guam
tico line.
This morning the steamers left
Washington at 10 o'clock, arriving
at Quantico at 1890 On the way
the steamers paused for several
minutes at Mt. Vernon, Fort Wash
ington, ami other spots of interest,
as well as Indian Head, the great
naval proving ground, so that the
visitor WAS S;iven a chance to get
glimpse of these spots OF national
interest.
The Shr!ners and their ladies were
divided iEro detachments and each
placed in charge of companies Of
marines. They were served q
luncheon, taken through the camp
and witnessed a. war game showing
the marines in action.

dairy herd, is third Justification for
supplementing it with other live sto *
which can effectively use such prod
ucts."
The second big idea for safe farm
ing during times Of relatively unstable
and low prices for farm products, list
ed by McNall, is to reduce the size Of
herds by eliminating the poor pro-
ducers. Continuous expansion for the
purpose of obtaining greater volume
Of milk usually results in greater costs
per hundredweight and increased net
returns. A reduction in the size Of
the herd by culling the poor producers
decreases the cost per hundredweight
of milk produced and increases the net
return Another beneficial result from
cul1ing the low producers is the stabil-
izing Of the dairy market due to
diminished production "a second
source of increased returns to the
farmer. Wherever the farm business
is reduced by the elimination of low
production, the net returns will be in
creased. Every farmer should reduce
the number of cows MIXED by send
mig the low producers to the block.

Cabbage Maggot Attacks
Prevented by Tar Paper

Cabbages and related crops are gen
orally badly attacked by the cabbage
maggot, which gnaws off the outer
surface of roots and bores into the
larger ones and finally into the lower
part of the stalk. BY looking closely
at young cabbage plants, near the
ground level, the little white eggs may
be seen. If the eggs are exposed to
the sun they will dry up and not
hatch.
The attack, however, is generally
prevented by the use of squares or
disks Of tarred felt paper placed
around the plants when set out, there
fore preventing the egg laying of the
fly. Common tarred paper generally
curls up under the heat Of the sun,
but tarred felt paper will not.
Three-inch square or five-sided pads
may be cut and slit from the center to
a corner or side of pad. Several short
Sits like a star should be made at the
center to allow close fitting around
the plant. The squares should be
placed around the plants when first
set out, being careful to press closely
around the stem and down against the
ground. This paper must fit tightly
around the stem.

Egg Waste fol Poultry
Is Recommended by Ohio

Egg waste from incubators is rich
in protein and, after boiling and grind
ing, can be proftably fed to poultry by
mixing it with a dry mash to form
slightly moistened, crumbly mixture.
In tests at the Ohio experiment sta
ton, infertile and dead-germ eggs
were boiled for an hour passed
through a sausage mill, dried, reground
and mixed in the dry mash as fat
tening ration for young cockerels. The
average gains from this mixture were
8 per cent greater for the egg product
than for skim milk supplying the same
amount of protein.
For feeding market proiIers in
crates the following mixture proved
excellent: Ground corn 40 parts,
standard wheat middlings 20, and
moist egg product 40, with enough
water added to make batter that
could be easily poured.
Like all moist mashes this mixture
should be fed with great care to avoid
overlooking, as the egg material is
concentrated feed and is greatly rel
ished by the birds.

wire fence, which, to give the best
service should be stretched very tight,
comes upon these end and corner posts.
If these posts are made large enough
and are deeply set into firm soil, it
may not be necessary to brace them,
but should brace be necessary a
good way of providing it is shown in
the illustration.
A concrete bar five inches square,
. reinforced with steel rods is cast, In
a length great enough to reach dag
onally from the base of the last line
post to a point near the top of the
corner post, where it fits into notch
provided for it. The strain which
comes on the corner post is then trans
mitted to the base of the line post
which is in turn supported by the
earth so that it will not break off.
Some wires extending from the top of
the line post to the base of the corner
post and twisted up tightly serve the
double purpose Of further supporting
the line post and of preventing the
brace bar from being dislodged.

Practical Method of
Getting Rid Of Rats
Exhaust From Gasoline En-
CINE Will Destroy Them.

PREPARED by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Are you troubled with rats, espe-
.cially around the chicken house,
garage. barn, or vegetable farm?
Fasten a length of hose on the end
of the exhaust from your gasoline en-
gire-whether it be ''flivver" or a
tractor-Oack the car up within reach
of the rat burrov, and adjlst the car
buretor for a rich mixture. Pack damp
earth around the hose at the entrance
to the hole to seal it. Run the engine
at a moderate speed for ten minutes
or more and the rats will be destroyed.
This method is entirely practical, ac-
cording to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, when there are
only a small number Of holes or the
area to be fumigated is not too ex-
tensive. 1t may also be used success
fully in destroying rats beneath floors
or in other places where concentra-
ton of the gas can be obtained.
Community effort is urged in getting
rid of rats by the above means and
also by cleaning up rubbish, spreading
poison bats, setting traps, and rat
proofing buildings. Individual prop
critics from which rats are extermi-
mated soon become reinfested If there
are rats in the neighborhood. The
biological survey, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, is willing to
assist in organizing end carrying out
antirat campaigns wherever possible
and will furnish upon application bull
letins and detailed directions for pois-
Oning with barium carbonate and set
ting traps.

DIVERSITY IS THE
ADVICE OF M'NALL
Have Your Eggs in More Than
One Basket, He Urges.

Under present conditions David
Harum's advice-to keep all your eggs
In one basket-must Ego by the
board"
The one fundamental idea for safe
farming, according to P. 3. McNall,
farm management specialist in the
University of Wisconsin, is diversified
ton. He does not mean jumping in
end out Of every sort of agricultural
activity. To "get in" during the next
crop year usually brings no additional
returns.
'The farmer who diversifies has his
important source Of income. Usually
this is some class of live stock; occa-
sionally in this state it is some cash
crop. This one. enterprise" says Nc
Nall, .'must- form the backbone of the
farming business. 1t is the farmers
speciality. He knows and loves the
work with this particular stock. He
is in it because he expects to remain
in the production of the stock and he
will not drop it because prices tempo
rarfly are not as he would have them"
Practices which will make farming
possible under the present unbalanced
conditions will make more money
when prices are good.
Good diversity, in the opinion of Nc
Nall must include other sources of
income than the main one. If the
dairy herd is the backbone" of the
farm. he would have 1t supplemented
by other enterprises, as hogs and poul-
try, in order to insure best returns 10
the farm.
"Dairy, hogs and poultry form one
combination which spreads risks.
There is always possibility of some
disease or pest reducing the income
from any one enterprise. To have
three sources Of income eliminates the
probability of complete loss because
the one has been reduced by disease,
pest or accident. It also tends to stab
ilize the farm market inasmuch os
any variation in the price of a par
ticular farm product will quite PROB
ably be somewhat offset by variations
In the opposite direction Of some one
or other of the remaining farm prod
ucts.

The eggs of ducks retain their
hatchability for a shorter time than
the hen eggs. The fresher the eggs
are when incubated, the better.
If your turkeys are wild, make
friends with them. It is cheaper and
easier to handle birds that trust the
caretaker.
Experimental work by the bureau OF
animal industry, United States De
partment of Agriculture, shows that
good egg yields and economical results
can be secured with wheatless ration
for chickens.
Lice, overlooking and filth kill two
thirds of all turkeys that die. The
other third die from too close confne-
ment, accident or inherited weakness.
Let turkeys roost in the open air,
but in a high, dry place. If turkeys
roost near swamp there is almost
sure to be trouble from roup.
Young dueklings and goslings must
be kept from the d ampness the same
as chicks. They grow fastest if kept
on soft mash feeds and only allowed
enough water to drink.
