All Beekeepers
May Grade Honey
Special Permission Not Nee
essary to Use Stand
ard Grades.
prepared by the United States Department
of AEricuItureI

prepared BY the United States Department
of Agrcuture.I
Many beekeepers mistakenly believe
that they are forbidden TO use the
United States standard grades for
honey unless they have special per-
mission or unless a federal agent has
inspected and graded their honey.
says James |. Hambleton of the bu-
reau of entomology, United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Must Comply With Rules.
ut should be clearly understood"
says Mr.. Hambleton, "that anyone who
complies with the United States grad
ing rules for honey is entitled to use
the United States grades and grad
ing stamp. He may use the official
grading stamps or may incorporate
the stamp into his own label If he so
wishes" A circular has been issued
suggesting way in which this can be
done. This WILDE sent with other
information on grading, upon applica-
ton to the Division of Bee Culture
Investigations. Bureau of Entomology,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Washington. D. c.
The process Of grading extracted
honey is simple, Mr.. Hambleton says.
The honey must be of good flavor, Of
proper density. and as clean as speci-
fed for the grade. When packed in
Opaque containers, the color of the
honey must he marked on the grade
label. Most beekeepers may have SAM
Piles of the honey graded as to color.
free of charge. by sending a two
ounce sample to the state division Of
markets. the state specialist in bee
keeping; or to the state agricultural
college.
Lack of Color Grader.
Many states now have one or more
standard color graders at the service
of the beekeepers, but If no grader is
available in the state, beekeepers may
send samples Of honey to the Division
Of Bee Culture Investigations, Bureau
Of Entomology. United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.
This free color grading is educa.
tional and unofficial and does not car
~ with it a certificate of grade, color
and purity such as is issued by the
federal honey inspectors of the United
States bureau of agricultural econom-
les. who are at the service of anyone
who wishes to pay for official inspec-
ton and certification. This inspection
service is now used for the most part
by exporters. but could be made more
generally available if the demand were
sufficient.

bread. Fruit for dessert on the Sec
ond day may be oranges or whole
pineapple, cut up in sections when
wanted. Some of the cake from the
day before may be left.
'u A good hot dish for supper the sec
ond day will appeal to everybody. A
vegetable chowder may be made Of
potatoes, bacon, or salt pork, canned
or dried milk, onion, and celery if
possible. Or one Of the excellent
canned chowders, reheated on the
spot, may be depended on. with
crackers as the breadstuff. Cheese
may be served at this meal, with the
crackers, and marmalade or jam. Bot.
tied grape juice will be good for a
fruit drink the second day.
In the picnic kit, in addition to-
whatever cooking utensils are liked,
one might keep permanently bottle
opener, can opener, bread knife. table
knives, forks, spoons; plates and cups
of metal, or paper; paper napkins and
waxed lunch paper; salt, pepper. loaf
sugar, small can of evaporated milk
and box of matches for the camp

Wild Onion Destroyed
bv Careful Flowing

On cultivated land wild onion can
seldom be destroyed in one season.
The first step is to pillow In the fall
as late as practicable. the depth Of
the furrow being gagged to bring the
roots, or bulbs, to the surface where
they will he killed by freezing. AS
some of the roots will live through
the winter, the land should be plowed
again in the spring. at depth which
will throw the roots to the surface
where many more of them will he
killed by spring frost. Following this
treatment. clean cultivated crop fol-
lowed in turn by wheat and clover. or
any other thickly sown crop, will usu-
ally completely rid the land Of the
pest. Lining and fertilizing is also
effective as it helps the crop to crowd
out the weed.

EARNN'NQTES

Fall blowing is an important aid in
the war on insect and weed pests.
Plant a less expensive crop than po-
tatoes on the wireworm-infested field.
Holdings of creamery butter on May
are reported at 22,9SS.OOO pounds
compared with 5,SS3,OOO pounds on
May l last year.
A New York survey shows that al
falfa paid 80 cents an hour for the
time spent to grow 1t, while timothy
paid minus two cents an hour.
Separate your cockerels from the
pullets as soon as you can detect the
sex, and get your cockerels ready and
market them as soon as possible.
Fruit thinning Is more profitable on
trees carrying an excessively heavy
crop than on those where the set Is
slightly more than what is wanted.
The return is likely to be greater on
fancy varieties like Jonathan and Nc

Production This Year

Production of new eight-cylinder
cars in Belgium is expected to start,
in quantity, during the current year.
according to report received and is

that production in Belgium during the
past year was 5000 passenger cars
and 1000 trucks There was con-

six-cylinder cars at the expense Of
four-cylinder cars. The new models

Everybody Enjoys Outings
Which Are inexpensive.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
There is now one motor vehicle for
every five persons in the United
States, according to the United States
bureau of public roads, or one for
every family. There is no doubt but
that great number of families of
moderate means who would not have
dreamed of taking frequent weekend
outings few years ago are now able
to enjoy the possession of car and
the opportunity to use it for recrea-
ton in the open air.
Considerable distance may be COW
cred in a Saturday-noon to Sunday
night trip, or more leisurely driving
to favorite nearby picnic or camping
grounds may be preferred. From the
mothers point of view such outings
are blessed release from the former
drudgery of Sunday spent cooking
and clearing up the biggest dinner of
the whole week. Everybody enjoys
them, and with a little planning they
may be both easy and inexpensive.
Keeping Quality important.
In planning what food must be car
ried, as three or four meals will prob
ably be eaten on the road, the prime
consideration is the keeping quality.

orator is taken along, it is best to Sc

after the weekend, from swinging O.
thumb over it. t"
"Let me see something that's gone
$4,000 miles," said a college boy to-
the man on used car lot. II haven't

broken in.
A Wisconsin lad completed a high
school course in year by doing
everything four times as fast as usual.
This would require driving the coupe
$50 miles an hour.
Another rather jolly impasse is
when a local driver. accustomed to
making inside left turns, meets a visit
ing motorist who is equally accus-
toned to the outside type.

cooking kit is very satisfactory
part of the weekend equipment. 1t
should include a frying pan and
saucepan. coffee or tea pot, and
some plates and cups suitable for
serving hot foods and beverages.
For the first picnic supper one may
choose among the entire range Of
fresh cooked meats or chicken, or If
the weather is COOL bring hamburg
patties or chops to broil over the
camp fire. Salad ingredients like to-
matoes. lettuce. celery and cucumber
may be carried, to be put together
when wanted. or potato salad made at
home and brought in a glass jar or
cardboard carton. Except for toma-
toes and cucumbers, which keep we'll
because of their skins. none of these
foods should be planned for the Sec
ond day. The more perishable fruits,
such as berries, cherries. fresh pine
apple cut up and put in glass jar, or
fresh apple sauce, are best the first
day. Hot coffee-nnd ice cold milk
may be brought from home in Their
mos bottles. If lemon juice is squeezed
and sweetened ready for mixing into
lemonade it will be a refreshing bev-
erage to serve. If sandwiches are
wanted. have them the first day. Loaf
cake, cup cakes and cookies all travel
well, especially If put in tight tin
box.
Camp Fire Dinner.
For a camp fire dinner the second
day, the bureau Of home economics
suggests frizzled dried beef and
scrambled eggs. Both the "makin's"
for this dish can be safely transported
without ice. Let the boys of the fam
lily help to cook this dish. With it
have tomatoes or cucumbers. and

Destroy Cutworm Moth
by Flowing in Autumn

The cutworm moth lays her eggs
on weeds and grass in late summer.
When the eggs hatch, the worms feed
for while and then enter the ground
where they make little nest for the
winter. In the spring they come out
and feed on the vegetation available.
1t is recommended that the garden be
plowed in the fall SO as to disturb the
nests and many will be killed.
In the spring keep the land free
from grass and weeds and put out
some poison to kill those that feed
on 1t. If you keep the garden clear
of weeds and grass during the sum-
mer and fall. cutworms may come in
from the grass borders in the spring
when they are hungry.
