SANDLOTTERS'
SALT AND
PEPPER
By R. D. THOMAS

Mt. Rainier and Arlington, WitE
several seasons of warm rivalry
behind them, are fighting it out
This year with more than custo'
mary spirit: though no title is at
stake. Sunday they will play the
third game of a 5-gaEne series,
each having won a contest. On
Iuly they will end the series
with a double header. Mt Rainier
Is regarded as the champion of
Prince Georges County, Md, and
Arlington holds the title in Airing
ton County, Va.
Mt. Ralnier's high place among
sandIOt clubs Is due largely to
its pitching staff, which includes
Dick Hughes and Irving BatsOn.
Emil Pfeil and Lefty LaycOck are
Arlington ,dependables. Emil used
to have few equals in this section

Infertile Egg Is Best
for the Summer Trade

Summer heat has the same effect on
fertile eggs as the setting hen or In
cubator. The germ, in hot weather,
will quickly develop blood ring
which spoils the egg for food and
market purposes.
Fresh eggs for table use should be
infertile," says Allen G. Oliver, poul-
try extension specialist at State col
lege, Raleigh, n. G. Those who keep
poultry should either sell, kill or con-
fine the male birds as soon as the
Matching season Is over. Those males
which are good enough for breeding
purposes should not run with the hens
all the year round. BY this method
the males will produce stronger
germed eggs that in turn will produce
stronger chicks"
Mr.. Oliver states that If the hen Is
properly fed, if the nests are clean,
the eggs gathered twice daily, stored
In a cool, dry place and delivered to
the consumer in prime condition, the
consumer will be willing to pay the
highest market price. But II the
rooster Is allowed to run with the
flock after Matching season, If the hens
are not properly and regularly fed, II
the nests are dirty and crowded and
the eggs are gathered every few days
and stored in a warm place before de-
livery some days later, the consumer
wants a gas mask when the food
comes to him at the table.

Not Alarmed by
Sight of Airplane

In the jungle of southern AMMAN
live the Mois, a primitive tribe, until
recently without contact with civilized
people, white or yellow. In the for
ests of the high plateaus they have
lived for centuries, exactly as their
ancestors, who came from Malaysia
In unknown times, must have lived.
They have no writing and hence no
history; no religion but fear; not
glimmer of knowledge. Such are the
primitive folk suddenly assaulted by
the Twentieth century, in one breath
presented with electricity, the tele-
graph, motor cars, airplanes, motion
pictures.
The territory is being exploited by
France, with the result that these
primitive natives are receiving sud-
denly the inventions of centuries.
When the first airplane flight was
made, the natives were warned, so
they would not be panic-stricken, but
the flight caused only little furry.
The other inventions they are accept
ing with the same calm. They exhibit
surprise at first, but when the novelty
wears off, they cease to wonder.--Asia

Secretary Jardine Has
Arranged Wool Grades

Secretary Jardine of the Depart
ment of Agriculture has signed an
official order establishing standards
of the United States for grades OF
wool and wool top to become effective
July 1, 1926.
The standards replace those for
grades of wool which were estab-
lished by the secretary May Is, 1923,
as effective July 1, 1923, the changes
being a subdivision of several of the
grades to increase the number in the
series from seven to twelve, and the
addition of numerals with the Ameri-
can Technology in designating the
grades.
The official standards of the United
States for grades of wool are based
on diameter of fiber, ranging from
36's to sos. The superseded stand
ards were also based on diameter of
fiber. In the practical forms of the
present standards and the superseded
standards, the corresponding samples
are: GAS, Fine; SIS, " Blood; 56's,
Is Blood ASS, II Blood; 46s, Low Il
Blood; 44's, Common; 36's, Braid.

Inch Planks Made Use of to
Exclude Light.

Early planted celery will be devel-
oped to the point where it is ready to
bleach by the middle to the latter part
of August. Because it is proper TO
bank up the plants with soil in late
October many folks make the mistake
of trying to blanch the plants in the
same way when the weather Is warm.
Early maturing celery can be
blanched by placing inch planks that
are II to 10 inches wide on edge on
either side Of the row. The boards
can DE held in position by lacking
small strip across either end. The
boards must be drawn as close to-
gether as possible so as to exclude
the light. This may leave from two
inches to one foot of the tops above
the planks.
Some growers use Pinch strips OF
roofing that are stood on edge on either
side of the row and that are held to-
gether at the top by pieces of No. L
and IA wire, that have been fashioned
somewhat like hairpin.
Folks that have only few plants
for early blanching, and who have a
few pieces of 4inch diameter tile can

Interesting Light on
Eorly American Tribes

Explorers sent out by the Ohio His
torical and Archaeological society to
open the great central mound Of the
Seip group, near cambridge, Ohio, re-
Gently, revealed another page in the
amazing history of the ancient race
which populated the interior Of the
North American continent.
They discovered that, like the Egyp-
tians, the American mound builders
sometimes buried their princely dead
in heavy-timbered mausoleums under
canopies of exquisitely fashioned
cloth, and that when these tombs were
built the tribesmen carried earth In
baskets and heaped it on the sepul-
cheers until they had reared mounds
80 feet above the level of the sur
rounding country.
Discoveries made were conferred
around the disentombing of four skele-
tons believed to be the remains of
members of royal family. In the
sepulcher was found the first bit OF
cloth ever seen in a North American
mound.

Practical Swine Houses
Described in Bulletin

Proper housing is an important fac
tor In the successful raising of hogs.
Too often this is neglected, when little
expense and effort would be required
to provide good, seryiceable, well-ven-
tilated houses which give ample pro-
lection from cold and admit much
needed sunshine.
The same kind of housing for hogs
does not apply to all parts of the coun-
try. however, says e. 2. Russell, in
charge of swine Investigations, United
States Department of Agriculture. In
Farmers Bulletin 14S7-F, just issued
by the department. he describes
number of practical hog houses for
several sections of the country. One
of the chief criticisms which may be
made of the average hog house, he
saws. is that 1t is poorly lighted and
ventilated, If in fact any provision at
all has been made for ventilation.
The bulletin contains Illustrations
and floor plans showing how proper
ventilation and lighting Is secured In
the different styles Of houses. A copy
of the publication may be secured as

Methods of Controlling
Granarv Weevil Given

The granary weevil, known for GEN.
turtles as pest of stored grain, may
be killed when exposed for few
hours to temperature of 155 de-
grees Fahrenheit. Although the weeyil
is very resistant to low tempera-
lures, If the infested grain is sufficient
~ chilled by running from one bin to
another, it can be protected from
weevil attack, says the United States
Department of Agriculture in a new
department Bulletin No. 1393-D, 1.-THE
Granary Weevil.'
The granary weevil Is sometimes
confused with the rice weevil, much
more destructive pest, but unlike the
latter in that it possesses only rudi-
mentary wings. 1t is thought to have
originated either in Asia or the
Mediterranean region. This pest does
not appear to thrive in tropical and
semi-tropical climates. Because Of its
habit of breeding in grains of all
kinds, it has been carried by COM

Effective Control Afforded
by Fungous Disease
Which Attacks 1t.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The clover leaf weevil sometimes
does considerable damage to the
clover crop, but seldom causes total
crop failure because of the rather Ell
fective control afforded by fungous
disease which attacks it in the larval
or grub stage, says the United States
Department of Agriculture. The dam
age is most severe in backward sea-
sons.
Indication of Pest.
The presence of the pest is Indicated
by a ragged appearance of clover and
alfalfa plants, when the dirty greenish
wormlike or larval stage of the in
sect may be found around the base of
the plants, according to Farmers Bull
letin 14S4-F, THE Glover Leaf Weevil
and Its Control"
The principal food plants of the
clover leaf weevil seem to be red
clover, alfalfa, and white clover. All
the other varieties of clover are also
eaten, including alsike and occasional
l. SWEET CiONSI, anu SOiuC NdAAClASc VI
beans. The beetles have been re-
corded as feeding also on timothy,
green wheat leaves, burdock, soy
beans, various flowers, and even leaves
of corn.
Effective Control.
In view of the effective control over
this pest given by the fungous dis
ease, it is seldom necessary or prac-
teal to apply direct control measures
against this insect alone. However,
by spraying the crop with mixture
or arsenate of lead at the strength of
two pounds of the powder to 90 gal
Ions of water, including one pound OF
laundry soap as a sticker, the mix
ture being applied at the rate Of 1OC
gallons TO the acre, kill of 80 pei
cent of the larvae has been obtained
under the usual seasonal rainy weather
condition.

information relative to the pest, Its
distribution, injury to crops, and con
troll. A copy of the publication may
be obtained free, as long as the sup
ply lasts, from the United States De

Best Weight of Hogs to
Hog-Off the Corn Crop

Hogs of any weight may be used in
hogging off corn, but best results are
secured with the hogs weighing from
20 to 125 pounds. With good mature
corn, daily gain of from Ia to IA
pounds can be expected. With an av-
erage crop, we figure that an acre of
corn will supply sufficient feed for
about five pigs Of the above weights
for a 60day period, providing that
good pasture is available while on
corn. Hogs should have access to a
pasture which is rich in protein and
minerals.

In the Orient there are over forty
ways of preparing this condiment, and
only there do they serve 1t in perfec-
ton. Curry is not always blended
alike; different places prepare differ
-ent powders. 1t is like mincemeat and
fruit cake, and mothers pickles; we
like the kind we are accustomed to
use.
Chicken curry.-Cut up a plump
young bird and fry brown In olive
OIL Remove from the frying pan and
place in the oven. Mix two table
spoonfuls each of -four and curry
powder, then add gradually one cup
full of any well-seasoned stock. Fry
two sliced onions in hot fat, add the
prepared stock, cook FIVE minutes,
then turn in the chicken. Cover and
simmer fifteen minutes. Serve hot with
boiled seasoned rice. If the sauce
seems too thick add more stock.
Curry of Succotash.-Take two cup
fuls each of fresh lima beans and
cooked corn, or two cans of each. Heat
until hot and season well, then heap
on a fiat dish, cover with curry sauce
and serve with potato croquettes.
Curry Sauce-Simmer two table
spoonfuls Of butter, one large onion
finely minced, then add one tart APP
pie chopped, cooked three minutes,
add one-half cupful of highly seasoned
stock and cook gently for FIVE min

and one cupful Of milk into which a
dessert spoonful Of curry has been
stirred let all boil up once, then press
through a sieve, return to the fire and
thicken with tablespoonful of flour
and one of butter for every cupful OF
