to control this trouble? W. O., Girard, Alabama.
 A. The trouble in question may be obviated by several plans or campaigns of well proven spraying program. The best of which is the lime sulphur treat. ment. See bulletin mailed you.
 Q. I am going to be short on corn and would like to know if desirabls to plant this late? B. L., Roanoke, Ala,
 A. Yes, would risk it providing you have suitable land and are in position to cultivate frequently and in a thor ough manner.
 Q. l have some cutover land in Mis-. sissippi and Alabama that I want to fence and establish in grasses and other forage plants for the production of cat tie. Can you give me some formulas for grass mixtures that would serve the purpose? s. L., Meridian, Miss.
 A. Have written you a special letter on the subject as information too long for these columns. Have mailed for mulas and will do the same to all in- terested, on application. Full informa- tion is needed before satisfactory and specific replies can be given.
 Q. Does it hurt velvet beans to graze them when young? My goats are fond of them. w. H., Greenwood, Miss.
 A. Moderate grazing won't hurt, es, pecially after the plants beign to vine freely, but prior to this period, the growth may be retarded or seriously in- jured.
 Q. My cowpeas, planted In a young orchard for a cover cTop, Hre dwarfed in growth and have turned yellow. Could this be disease or is the dry weather doing tEe injury? A. F., Chil- dersburg, Ala.

public is educated to the importance of abolishing it through state action. This is a move based upon economies, and not upon sentiment"
 At the recent convention of the na- tional committee on child labor in Washington, Miss Lathrop declared that the next 10 years will be, in the i'm provement of child welfare standards and the stimulus of education, the most significant in the history of the coun- try.
 . T am not an Optimist," she insists, T am only stating facts.''
 Her slogan, the keystone of her work as chief of the children's bureau, and of the years in Illinois when, as a member of the state board of charities, she was laying a foundation for that work, is "Give them all a fair chance" " This was the central idea of one of her notable speeches, her presidential ad- dress before the national conference on social work at Atlantic City in 1919, when she said:
 Democracy is that form of govern ment and spirit among men which ac. lively insists that society must exist to give every human being a fair chance. A fair chance for everyone does not be. gin with adult life nor with infancy It's mysterious springs are more and more swathed in mystery as we push backward from the man, the youth, the child, the baby, to the endless line of the generations out of which each liv- ing being emerges in his turn. But our responsibility is only with today."- Woman Citizen.

ready for the table? T. R., Tallapoosa,

ready for the table? T. R., Tallapoosa, Ga.
 A. Swiss chord, known also as spin ach, beet and other names is primarily summer salad, but in the south is is perfectly hardy and may be planted anytime one would plant mustard, tur- nips rspinach. It requires from 60 days and up for availability, much de- pending on weather conditions.
 Q. We planted fall Irish potatoes some two or three weeks ago but there is no sign of their coming up. Can anything be done to hasten germina- tion? P. P, Hanceville, Ala.
 A. It has probably been too hot and dry. The only thing that can be done is to keep the surface soil worked or stirred above the cuttings. They will probably germinate in time to mature before frost.
 >-Q. Will the bunch butterbean make if planted now, using seed that has ma tured this season? No other seed are obtainable now. Mrs. A. G., Leeds, Ala.
 A. Yes, there is plenty of time, and the seed produced this season is just as good or better than any you could buy.
 Q. saw in The Age-Herald at one time where you recommended a certain remedy for flies that bother milk cows at this time of the year. Can you give us this information again and tell us where we can procure? Mrs. F., Jas per, Ala.
 A. There are on the market num- bers of prepared remedies for the con- trol of flies, ticks and othe vermin, all of which possess more or less merit. Seed stores, drug stores and dealers in general handle such remedies. The preparation, liquid known as KILN, is very effective.
 Q. I grow a lot of poultry but loose a lot from such diseases as cholera, bowel trouble, Timber neck, etc. I use home remedies that generally prove ef- fective but would like to know about something more specific. Could you offer suggestions that might help? Mrs. l., Leighton, Ala.
 A. See special letter written you on the subject. The remedy, well again, ]" alluded to is manufactured in Birming- ham and is really a specific cure for most all ailments of poultry. Dealers can supply.
 Q. l read your article some time ago about buckwheat for bees, but not re- membering, would ask if its too late now to SOW the seed? B. M., West Blocton, Ala.
 A. No, it is not too late. It is per- missible to SOW any time in August.
 Q. Is there any preference in the matter of variety when planting a fall crop of melons and if so tell our people what to plant? O. F., Alexander City,
 A. The same varieties that one uses in spring would answer. The Irish gray, Watson, Kleckley sweet and Hol- bert's honey would make good planted now for fall crop.
 Q. notice you recommend the plant ing of rape for both chicken feed and as a desirable vegetable for the table. Tell us when and how to plant. I have read much about it but no instructions about cultivation? W. N, R. F. D.. ! Gadsden, Ala.
 A. Rape will do all claimed for it in the papers, bulletins, etc. There is no trick about growing it, you simply plant it at anytime and in the same manner as you would turnips, that is, either broadcast or in drills. KQ. Is the Klondike cosmos supposed to be or should be in bloom by now.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-08-03

My plants six feet or more high, have not bloomed yet? Mrs. F. S., Court | land, Ala.
 A. The Klondike cosmos should be- gin to bloom soon and when it does, will continue until the plants are actu- ally killed by heavy freezes. Don't be uneasy, the plants will bloom in time Q. How about planting nasturtiums and the California peoples this late We have had fine array of these but now exhausted and want to know if more seed could be planted with any assurance of success? N. II.
 A. There is plenty of time to mature the flowers of both California peoples gust. It would be necessary of course needed, to hasten growth. The main trouble is getting the plants started, after which the culture is easy.
 0. I am very fond of pansies and am told that the seed of these should be started in the summer if one ex- poets the best results the following spring. Tell us about this? Mrs. D., R. r. D., Ensley, Ala.
 A. In this section it is not necessary to plant pansy seed before September or even October to produce blooming plants very early in the following spring. It is probably best to make sowing the last of August and then another in September or later.
 Q. Could we expect flowers from snapdragon planted this late? Miss T., R. F. D. No. 1.
 A. Yes, under proper conditions of culture. See letter.
 0. We have planted rutabagas ac- cording to your instructions, but the plants died out. Do you think we are too late for another trial? N. M., Ban gor, Ala.
 A. think not. It is necessary of course, inasmuch as the rutabaga is a slow growth, that. the seed be planted early but in this climate there is yet plenty of time to succeed. Q. When the seven-top turnip is to be planted for the production of seed as money crop, when are the seed supposed to be planted and are they broadcasted or drilled? B. L., Annis- ton, Ala.
 A. The usual time with most grow CTS is the latter part of August or Sep tember when conditions are correct for getting the seed up. They are grown both broadcasted and in drills. The writer prefers drilling and cultivating like any other crop.
 o. For several years we have had fine crop of early peaches, mostly common, but this year our experiment station tells us that the cause of our failure is scab and brown rot. We would like to know what is essential

How to Make
 Grape Jelly in IS Minutes
By Ann Proctor

The. most delicious grape jelly you ever tasted--chock full of the natural color and flavor-can be made at home by anyone within 15 minutes after the fruit is crushed and squeezed. l use the CERT0 method because it takes only one-half minutes boiling, thus saving flavor and color, never fails, permits the use of full-ripe grapes, and is cheaper because l get One-half more jelly from the same amount of grapes.
 To make 12 large glasses of grape jelly, use this simple recipe:
 Stem and crush thoroughly about 8 lbs. ripe grapes. Add # cup water, stir until boiling and simmer 10 min- utes in closely covered saucepan. Place fruit in cheese cloth bag and squeeze out juice. Then drip juice through cotton flannel bag if a sparkling jelly is desired. Measure 8 level cups (3h lbs.) sugar and 4 cups @ lbs.) juice from cooked fruit into large saucepan, stir and bring to a boil. At once add l bottle (scant cup) CERTo, stirring constantly and bring again to a full boil for F minute, skim and pour quickly.
 By this short "CERTo Process" you save all the flavor. and color that was boiled away by the old method. Time and worry are also saved and you have lbs. of jelly from ? lbs. of grape juice as against lbs. of jelly by the old method; and the cost with 30c grapes and Toe sugar is less than 10c per glass.
 CERTO is simply the "jell" property of fruit, refined and concentrated. It contains no gelatine or preseryative and is sold by grocers everywhere.
 The above recipe and nearly 100 others for making delicious jellies and jams by the "CERTo Process" are found in the CERTo Book of Recipes, a copy of which is attached to every bottle of CERTo. Be sure to try the CERTo recipe for grape jam, hereto fore considered impossible to make.
 Use CERTO this year in making all your jams and jellies. It saves time, worry and boiling. The "CERTO Process" never fails and saves money, because you makeA Anne-half more jelly from the same amAunt of fruit; it is endorsed by national authorities and housewives everywhere. Jelly and jam made with CERTo keep perfectly Adv.

hay, or is it best to wait for pods? J K., Ashland, Ala.
 A. Weather conditions, of course will have much to do with the proper management, but the soy bean is a splendid drouth resister and if rain comes before the plant is utterly ex- hausted, it will greatly recover and perhaps put on more additional foliage than has been dropped. Personally, would wait until the setting the fruit before cutting for hay.
 Q. I have noticed in The Age-Herald several times where you recommend the planting of feteria and Kaffir corn foI the production of forage and the seed for poultry. I have planted twice but cannot get the stuff to grow. Car you offer help?-T. E., Opelika, Ala.
 A. When the soil is hot and dry it is difficult to get the seed up and when they do vegetate, which they generally do, the young plants often burn out before taking sufficient root to sus tain top growth. The only thing tC do is to keep planting over until the weather conditions are not so severe If the plants once get started, nothing will prevent their production.
 Q. Is there a preparation that is moi poisonous and is effective in driving fleas out of room? Mrs. ", Cotton dale, Ala.
 A. Pure insect powder obtainable al all drug stores and most dealers is very effective and is not poisonous to hu mans. Dust it around where the fleas abound. There is a small powder blower costing from 10 to 25 cents that is ar economical appliance.
 Q. read some time ago about a cer 1 tain form of soda being good to kill vermin on stock. Can you tell us what it, how to use it and where to obtain 1t? W. H., Sulligent, Ala.
 A. The preparation alluded to must be fluoride of soda, deadly poisonous chemical, but entirely safe to use wher directions are followed. When used if the dry form it is generally reduced | one-third or more with some inert sub stance, such as talcum powder or chalk Any drug store or seed store can supply you. See letter. for further informa tion.
 Q. Will the Brabham pea mature seed if planted by August SPA. E., Tal lassee, Ala.
 A. They certainly will providing o course, the weather be at all season able.

Get POWER WITH
HIGHWAY LIGHTS
Electric Service for Farmers
Might Follow Road Lighting
Anywhere, as in New York.

Electric service for farms Is usually
unavailable without special efforts on
the part of the farmers unless there is
an electric light and power company
with electric distribution lines running
within reach of the farm. Yet the ex-
perience met with in territory near
Buffalo. N. Y. suggests a method of
automatically securing the extension
OF he necessary power lines so that
farmers who desire the advantages of
electricity can be connected up.
This possibility is bound up with the
installation of high intensity road
lighting units. The Illumination of
many country highways in the towns
of Amherst and Tonawanda, outside
of Buffalo, has caused distribution
lines to be run along roads which pre-
viously were without them. and the
benefit to the farming district has
been two fold in consequence. The
farmers have had a finely lighted road.
and they have been able to secure
electric service OF their farms.
The installation is not yet com
pleted in these towns. but as far al it
has gone every farm house along the
roads illuminated has been wired for
electric lights as well as outhouses
A number of these farms, are dairy
farms. and these agriculturists have
put in electric motors, by means of
which they are operating milking ma
chimes. feed cutters and grinders.
All this work. therefore, is now be
ing done by electricity on these farms
And the dairymen are jubilant over
the situation because it-has solved at
n stroke a most serious problem
They had been finding it almost i'm
possible to secure sufficient hired help
1t was coming to such a pass that
many dairymen were worried day and
night over it. Now they are worrying
no more. They have made an expendi-
ture for electric, wiring and electric
motors, and the work is being done,
hired men or no hired men.
But it could never have come to
pass had not, the township. been con
WINGED of the necessity of Illuminating
the highways. The highway lighting
plan calls for the lighting of a hun
bred miles of roads with the General
Electric Company's new Noyalux unit
carrying $50 candlepower Mazda
I lamps. This unit has excited a great
deal of favorable comment wherever
put in, for it lights the roads so tina,
they are perfectly clear for miles.

Thrifty Handling Of Beet Tops
and Fall Preparation Of
Ground Favored by
Recent Weather

Conservation of beet tops seems especially desirable
this season, with high prices ruling for hay and other
feeds.
Yet with the harvest finished in a large majority
OF fields relatively few are seen where the tops have
been piled or removed.
Pasturing the tops left in windows has been rather
favored by the recent fine weather. But the date of a
storm approaches and while favorable weather lasts
there is still opportunity for at least forking the tops
into small piles.
Experience has established the highest feed value
for tops when they are hauled to the stock and fed
alone, unmixed with hay, in amounts which the stock
will clean up each time.
Or if covered with snow, on frozen ground, the
stock will pasture better on piled tops rather than on
tops scattered in rows. After rains or mud-producing
thaws it is damaging to the soil and wasteful of the
tops to allow the stock to pasture them in the fields.
WHILE FINE EATHE LASTS
FALL Pillow WHERE ADVISABLE
Our local agriculturists have been urging fall
blowing where soil conditions favor this practice.
1t will also prove a time-saver in preparing seed
beds next spring to work down now fields left cloddy
in the beet harvest.
Where barns and old feed lots are being cleaned
up the fertilizer may be spread before the ground
freezes if the manure is disced in and plowed under
to forstall blowing and waste.
