Undesirable Farm Product,
Consisting Principally of
Various Weed Seeds.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
There are q dozen reasons why
screenings should be separated on the
farm and fed to live stock. says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Screenings are an undesirable
farm product. consisting principally of
weed seeds, cracked and shrunken
kernels of grain, chaff, broken stems,
and straws, dirt and other foreign
material, and often constitute 10 TO 20
per cent of the grain as it comes from
the thresher. They should not, how
ever, be regarded as waste, but
should be turned TO valuable account
by feeding them to live stock.
Gives Screenings Away.
When screenings are sold with the
grain they are classed as dockage, and
the grain farmer actually gives them
away because his grain is locked ac-
cording TO the proportion of screen
ings it contains. This loss TO the grain
farmer mounts TO huge figures when
large sections are considered. In 1923,
for example, nearly 100000 bushels
of screenings were produced, threshed
and marketed as dockage in the states
of North Dakota, South Dakota. Min
nesota and Montana. The sum of
$4,000 was paid by the farmers of
these states for threshing their screen
ings or dockage, and 100000 was paid
to the railroads for hauling it to the
terminal markets. Millions of dollars
worth of good feed was thus given
away. The grain farmer was the loser.
The average screenings are more
nearly equal to oats in composition
than any other common feed. Heavy
screenings from which the chaffy
material has been removed are nearly
equal to corn, wheat, or barley in the
percentages of the various nutrients.

that is the reason" she said. The
Queen told me was giving you too
much, but I was so sure you would
never forget TO be grateful that l per-
suaded her to let me keep on giving
and now she has made me take every
thing away"
Don't cry" said Neva. 81 am glad
the Queen has taught me a lesson.
l will never again forget to give
thanks no matter how much I have
or how little l wish 1 could become
a fairy and see your Queen"
THAT wish 1 cannot grant," said
the fairy, but can help you by tell
ing you a secret our Queen has told
us-that thank you and smile
will bring happiness. Try~it and see"
The fairy had disappeared, but
somehow the room did not seem cheers
less. She had left something behind
for Neva TO think about, and the next
day as she sold her matches she
smiled at everyone who bought and
said: Thank you"
1t was not long after this that a
lady stopped to buy matches one day
and was so won by Neva's CHEEKY
THANK you" that she took her to live
with her.. where she had all the COM
forts the fairy had given her and more
And when she remembers the fairy
and the attic Neva wonders if after
all it was not dream in which some
good fairy whispered to her the charm
of a smile and thank YOU"

place a table with a nice hot supper
on it!
Neva rubbed her eyes. 'It must be
the fairies" she thought. at wasn't
here when 1 came in. Perhaps the
Iandlady will know"
But the hard-hearted landlady only
told her if she didn't pay her rent she
would have to leave and she knew
nothing about hot suppers or soft
blankets and could not furnish beg
gars with such things.
Neva ran back to her attic and ate
her supper, Then she wrapped her
self in the blanket and went to sleep.
1t was so nice and warm she did not
awake until the sun was streaming
in through the one little window in
her room.
That night when she returned again
the hot supper was waiting, and now
Neva was sure it was the fairies. But
even fairies must be thanked, and as
she did not see them Neva went to
the window before she went to bed
and opened it. Dear fairies, thank
yOu," she whispered.
Every night for long time she did
this. but after a while so many things
came TO her that Neya became care
less about the thanks and many nights
went by and she did not open the
window TO whisper her thanks for all
the good things the fairies gave her.
One night she opened the door OF
her attic room, but no hot supper or
warm fire was waiting for her. The
room was cherries and still and on
the window sill Neya saw by the light
outside a tiny little creature weeping.
1t was a fairy; she was sure Of that.
But why should a fairy be crying?
Neva was wondering as she walked
toward the window.
"Oh, l am so unhappy" cried the
little creature Il was so sure she
would never forget to thank US, and
now the Queen is angry with me be-
cause l picked out this poor girl TO
help"
please don't cry" said Neva,
knowing at once she was the cause
of the little creatures grief Il am
sorry 1 forgot to thank you for all
the nice things every night. l guess
1t was because you gave me so many
things"
The little fairy jumped up Yes.

NEXT BIG FIGHTS

0THE Universal Service Law
l. will be the next big fight
of the Legion" was the prophecy
of John r. Quinn, national COM
mander of the American Legion,
at dinner given in his honor at
Spokane, Wash, recently. The
commander Of the Legion de-
clared: within three years we
will have as big a fight on for
this measure as we have had for
the adjusted compensation.
There will be other fights" the
fighting commander of the Lee
gion emphasized. Children are
being taught in schools OF the
country that military training Is
all wrong; Ii will be the Lee
gion's policy to fight this anti
preparedness propaganda to the
last trench.
1.-THE next war, II there must
be a next war, will be fought
with every one suffering on an
equal basis Of sacrifice, and will
not be as past wars, condition
of hardship for many and profit
for the few"

THANK YOU AND SMILE"

once there was a little girl named
- Neva, so very poor that she had
TO sell matches for a living, and even
that could not be called a living, be-
cause many times she went hungry to
her bed in a poor room in an attic
which the hard-hearted landlady could
not rent to any one else.
One night Neva came back TO her
attic room and found everything
changed. On the floor was soft
rug, warm blankets on the bed, soft
slippers and bathrobe lay before a
bright fire burning in the CRATE.
At first she thought she was in the
wrong room, but that could not be, be-
cause this was the attic room under
the caves.
While Neva slipped into the soft
robe and slippers she was still more
surprised TO see at one side of the fire

Legumes Have High Need
for Application of Lime

Best returns are secured from lime,
by using it for legume crops such as
alfalfa or the clovers, says P. F.
Schowengerdt, extension soils special
list Of the Missouri College of Agri-
culture. This is true because the
iegumes have a higher need for lime
than any other farm crops grown In
this section and because the nitrogen
fixing bacteria associated with these
crops require sweet soil In which to
do their work.
When lime Is applied and the
growth CT these soil building crops
made more successful the succeeding
crop yields are also increased. II.
on the other hand, the lime were APP
piled for grain crops alone the return
would be much smaller.
Wherever farmers apply lime on
wheat land in the next fall or winter
they should, by all means, sow clover
the next spring, for In doing SO they
will take advantage of their best
chance for a prof1r from lining.

To Teach Flag Rules
in All Texas Schools

Standard flag rules are to be taught
in all the schools in the state of Texas,
as result of a campaign waged by
the Texas department of the American
Legion for the Introduction into the
schools of flag etiquette code. Flag
etiquette Is TO be made part of the
course in civics. The state textbook
commission authorized the adoption OF
the flag code following the appearance
before 1t recently Of the state COM
mander of the Legion, who submitted
the code to the commission along with
arguments showing why 1t should be
adopted.

Soy Beans Prefer Heavy
Soil and Much Moisture

Soy beans prefer the heavier, dark
soils and will stand great deal of
moisture, but If this soil remains wet
during the season it should be drained.
The soy beans should be properly in
oculated, which is best done by mixing
three or four quarts of soil secured
from a well-inoculated field with each
bushel of the seed. Prepare the soil
as for corn and sow any time after
corn planting, using an early variety.
1t is believed that the early paintings
do better, however. and we would adj
wise that this field be Jlsnted as soon
as the soil can be gotte, ready. If the
soil is sour it should be lined and if Ii
has not been fortified recently it
should receive about 400 pounds of
acid phosphate per acre.

Killing Wild Garlic

A successful method of Graduating
wild garlic is by spraying with orchard
heating oil or waste motor oil. which
should be easily procured from garages.
This waste oil should be diluted with
kerosene until it is thin enough to per-
NIT spraying with a small pressure
sprayer, but not so thin that 1t will
readily run off the plants. First, strain
the oil through several thicknesses OF
cheesecloth and then apply it as fine
mist.
