FARM NEWS

A hog in medium condition, gain
ing rapidly in weight, ordinarily
yields the best quality meat. Do not
kill a hog that is losing flesh. A
reasonable amount of fat should add
juiciness and flavor to the meat, but
an oVer-finish produces a high pro-
portion of lard.
Don't grow lettuce on the same
land oftener than once or twice in
three or four years, advises the U.
S. Department of Agriculture. Some
growers follow the practice of plant
ing fall and spring crops of lettuce
on the same piece of ground and
then planting it to other crops, for
at least two years. Soil-building
crops such as cowpeas, soybeans,
velvetbeans, rye, and vetch, are good
for maintaining humus in the soil.
In the Western States land on which
alfalfa has been turned under is con-
sidered excellent for lettuce.

FARMERS SHOULD
RAISE ALFALFA
[Continned from First Paael


planning to grow some this year
should begin Immediately to pre-
pare their ground and apply lime if
the soil is acid, as alfalfa requires a
firm seed bed and a sol that is
sweet and well drained. Unless eth
er alfalfa or sweet clover has been
grown in the field that is intended
for alfalfa, the seed should be inocu-
lated if the best results are to be
obtained. The recommended time
for seeding alfalfa in this section is
during the last two weeks in Au-
gust, and the usual rate of seeding
is 20 pounds to the acre, although
some farmers prefer to use a few
extra pounds on land that is IN a
high state of fertility.
This alfalfa campaign, which was
started on a statewide basis in 1927
under the direction of the extension
service of the University of Della
ware, has shown remarkable results
in Kent county according to surveys
which have been made each year by
county agent Russell E. Wilson, and
which have indicated that the alial-
ia paintings have been increased to
over 4,600 acres during the past four
years. Another interesting fact in
connection with these seed surveys
is that all of the local dealers in the
county are carrying in stock a good
grade of alfalfa seed which is re-
ported to have been grown in the
western and northwestern regions
of the United States, and which is
the kind that is being recommended |
by the extension department for this
State.

DON'T EAT IN DIRTY PLACES

In emphasizing the Importance of
wholesome food and the prevention
of food poisoning, the Public Health
Service says that when eating in
hotels, restaurants or other public
places one can never be sure that
the food is properly cooked and
handled in a sanitary manner but
some degree of assurance may be
obtained by eating only in those
places which to outward appear
ances are clean and where sanitary
cleanliness extends to the toilet ia
cilities provided. If no provision is
made for guests to wash the hands
it is safe to assume that the kitchen
and dining room help are not pro-
vided with this necessary adjunct.

WHY DO NEGROES CELEBRATE
JUNE 10 AS EMANCIPATION DAY!

June 10 is observed as emancipa-
tion day by many negroes because
on that date in 1862 Congress passed
law prohibiting forever slavery in
the federal territories. This date is
observed particularly in those states
such as Oklahoma which were later
carved out of federal territory. By
a coincidence the negroes were pro-
claimed free in Texas on June 19 by
the Union commander and in that
state also June 19 is observed as q
holiday.

This rule holds for pure white or light
gray hair also, unless one wishes TO
darken the hair. And brunette should
never apply undiluted peroxide, blonde
rinses or lemon juice itself on the hair
as these agents make dark hair streaky
and bleach it, natural colorinE. Also,
the condition Of the hair and scalp
should be considered and suitable sham

There are great many shampoos,
rinses and scalp tonics available. The
market offers wide choice for different
conditions, types and color of hair. An
ideal cleanser for normal, healthy
head of hair and scalp Is a pure cas-
tile, olive oil or coconut oil liquid
shampoo. These shampoos are suitable
for blonde, ashen blonde, auburn. white
or gray or dark hair. An effective and
refreshing cleanser for hair inclined

is liquid tar shampoo. The latter sham

shampoos and many others are obtain
able at any drug store, cosmetic counter
or beauty salon.
Then there are home-mad shampoos,
such as white of egg shmaboo for
blonde, white or gray hair. The beaten
yolks of eggs may be used for the bru-
netteS as they contain sulphur and iron,
both of which are tonic for dark hair,
but tend to darken light or blonde hair.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

With the kindest intentions in the

children march in time to their drums.
The results may be fine for a time; but
at about two years, If not before, the
child begins to rebel. Why does he
have to wash his face because his

NANCY PACE
Christmas Checks for Filling
Furniture Needs
BY FLORENCE La GANKE.
BY FLORENCE La oANKE.

Nancy and Lois had both received
Christmas checks. They decided to
spend them for furniture. First, they
attended a lecture on modern styles in
furniture. This was given in the au-
ditorium of their favorite department
store. Then they did some window shop
ping. Then they did little reading
on furniture Styles. And then they set
out to spend their money.
Part of Nancy'S check was to go for
furniture for Joan. Now Nancy might
have chosen furniture suitable for a
child of six, but it would not have been
long before that furniture would have
been outgrown And childrens furni-
ture is not cheap, at all.
A four-poster bed with a chest OF
drawers and small Windsor chair were
her choice. She planned TO put dotted
Swiss valance on bed and on tester. A
patchwork quilt was to go on the bed.
Ball fringe in creamy white cotton went
