BEST TO GROW NECESSITIES
Specialized Forming Has Created Pe-
culiar Conditions — Poultry Is
Quickest Meat Supply to Pro-
duce on Farm.
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
“The Aiuerlcun Dinner Ih not golug
to be able this year to pay freight on
water,” said a department official.
“Water makes up a large part of fresh
fruits and vegetables. The answer Is
that be must grow his own table food.
He must also study the possibilities of
substitution. This applies to vegeta-
bles, fruits, poultry, eggs and dairy
produets which must be transferred
from commercial channels to Inane
consumption If they are to come with-
in the reach of the average farmer's
family.
Peculiar Condition Created.
“Specialized farming has created
renditions of which comparatively few
persons are aware. The grain farmer
hi many Instances buys even Ills pota-
toes and green vegetables; the fruit
farmer buys his dairy products; and
even the man who raises milk for
creamery, coudeusary or cheese fac-
tory is likely to send his cream or
milk away, feed the skim milk or whey
to the calves, and not make Ids own
butter. This year, Just as far as pos-
sible for him to alter his system In
m single season, the department offi-
cial* advise that he get hack to the
old plan which was aptly described as
'living at home.' This means not no
much remaining on the farm as It
does deriving every practicable prod-
uct for consumption from the farm.
“The average American farmer
knows how to raise other crops than
those on which In* specializes, hut It
has seemed good business, or at least
expedient, to devote Ids energies to
very few or even u single cash crop
slid buy his necessities, Just ns Is
done In cither specialized Industries.
The grain farmer Is perfectly capable
of raising Ids own potatoes, his green
garden stuff, and melons, tomatoes
and other garden fruits, to take the
place of orchard fruits which in many
parts of the country have been killed
by the late freezes. If the farmer has
a piece of really good gnrden ground
he can ndcl materially to the variety
and wholesomcness of the farm food
supply with scarcely any expenditure
except for seeds, and seeds, fortunate-

sheep. This area, on an average, fur-

Arranging the size of lots on the
basis of one acre to 2ft sheep Is more
satisfactory than seeding larger areas
and using hurdles to permit advance
to fresh feed each day. Less labor Is
necessary, and by going to entirely
new ground after ten or twelve days
the danger of picking up parasite
larvae on ground grazed over earlier
Is prevented. With a one-acre lot for
2ft ewes, or correspondingly larger
ones for larger (locks, It is an added
advantage If their length is two or
three times the breadth.
With a heavy crop of forage that
would last longer than was considered
safe to hold the flock on the same

the quickest meat supply to produce,
and the farmer will do well to build
up a small flock as rapidly as possible.
The Increased freight rates on but-
ter and eggs, together with the farm
money shortage due to the disappoint-
ing returns from lust year’s crops, will
make It advisable for many farmers’

STANDARDS FOR CONTAINERS

Three Important dipping containers
In need of standardization at the pres-

parts of the United States where those

Forester Greeley.

SUPPLY OF WOOD NECESSARY
Parents Should Encourage Young i
Woman to Establish Herself as j
Semi-Independent Member of
the Farm Family.
Deepite Fact That Many Substitutes
Have Been Devised Demand for
Timber Continues to Grow—
Much Land Is Idle.
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
Timber depletion bus now readied a
point in Ibis country where three-
fifths of the primeval forests tire gone
and where til per cent of the timber
that Is left Is west of the Great Plains,
Col. W. 15. Greeley, chief forester, for-
est service of the Department of Agri-
culture of the United States, recently
told the members of the Chicago As-
sociation of Commerce.
Liberal use of American forests was
a necessary part of the commercial
growth of tills nation, Colonel Greeley
believes, but reforestation should have
been practiced, If not from the start,
at least In lute years. There Is an
abundant area of forest land in this
country to support all industries, and
a liberal supply of wood Is most nec-
essary to the people of this country.
It was thought that, like the European
countries, we would use, when our civ-
ilization was older, but one-third or
one-half ns much wood per capita as
we did in the early days. But this
rule does not affect the American peo-
ple. The older the states and com-
munities In this country grow the
more timber they seem to require in
one form or another.
Demand Continues to Grow.
Many substitutes have been devised
for wood, and yet the great demand
of the country for timber continues to
grow. More wood Is used In construc-
tion today than before the discovery
of eoncrete, and more wood is used in
building railway cars than before tin*
steel or part-steel ear was developed.
This Is apparently true in nearly every
Industry.
Abundant and widely distributed
forests have meant to the United
States homes for the masses of the
people beyond the standards of any
other nation. They have placed news-
papers amt magazines on the average
family table. They have contributed
largely to social and industrial condi-
tions which promote democracy and
constructive energy Dither than dis-
content and destructive social forces
bred by bard and comfortless condi-
tions of life.
The Idleness of 81.000.000 acres of
forest land, an area increased by 8.-
000,000 to 10,000,000 acres annually,
destructive logging, and still more de-
structive forest tires are the factors at
work to Increase the timber shortage.

Down In Arkansas a girls’ canning
club started a contest to determine
which of the members could produce
the most tomatoes at the least ex-

of waste. Annet Snrgo, on the Mount
Valley route, near Hot Springs, grew
3,140 pounds of tomatoes on ono-
tenth of an acre, nt a cost of $31.40
and net returns of $109. With the
same expense her sister, Fannie, grew
3,020 pounds and had a net return of
$107.89. Ada Rosamond grew 2,803
pounds, costing $27.42, with a net re-
turn of $70.60, and Ruby Waddell, at

has not conic about because the for-
ests have been used so freely but be-
cause of the failure to use forest-
growing land. In a nutshell, the prob*
lein is that the United States is cut-
ting wood out of Its forests three or
four times as fast as it is being grown.
Much of the lund on which timber
stands or lias been cut off will always
be forest land. It Is ample to grow
all the wood needed for the use of the
people of this country and for export |
trade in lumber and products manu-
factured from lumber, If the land can
be kept at work growing trees. Tim-
ber for the future is simply a matter
of putting Idle land to work.
Every reasonable encouragement
should be given to the landowner to
grow timber on bis own account In
the ways best suited to bis own pur-
poses. but by some means or other the
public must see to It that forest lands
not needed for agriculture do not lie
Idle. The regulations imposed must
be reasonable and equitable. Obvi-
ously the owner of the land cannot do
It all. The public must aid him In
overcoming the hazard of forest fires
and must recognize that the present
methods of taxing forests In many
regions are equivalent to taxing a
farm crop twice a week during the
growing season.
HENS IN GOOSEBERRY PATCH
Fowls Will Do Much Toward Clear,
ing Out Fruit Worm From Un-
der Trash in Garden.
One gooseberry Insect we have with
us that Isn't easy to control Is the
fruit worm. It doesn’t often become
n serious pest but occasionally 1t has
been known to take a whole crop.
The worm eats Into the partly grown
berry and feeds on the pulp. Hand-
picking is still the method used to hold
this worm In check. Poultry ought to
be turned Into the gooseberry patch
after the fruit Is picked, as the hens
will do a lot toward clearing the
worms from under the trash. Poultry
and fruit are a good combination
when run right.
LIVE STOCK FLY REPELLENT
Care Should Be Exercised to Prevent
Getting Mixture Too Strong,
Causing Hair Shedding.
When mixing a repellent to put on
the live stock to keep the files away,
care should be taken to prevent get-
ting too strong a mixture. It may
cause shedding of the hair. The fol-
lowing mixture lias been found by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture to give good results for a
short time where applied lightly but
thoroughly: One gallon of fish oil,
two ounces of oil of pine tar. two
ounces of oil of pennyroyal and one-
half pint of kerosene. The horses
and milk cows will appreciate some
preparation.

BLOW-OUT PATCH FOR
USE IN EMERGENCIES
Using Temporary Repair Too
Long Is Big Mistake.
It Should Be Removed and New Sec-
tion Built in Tire to Enable It to
Give Balance of Milage of
Which It Is Capable.
Using a blow-out patch too long
Is a costly one to motorists. This patch
Is a car owner’s first and best remedy
for a blow-out on the road, but it is u
temporary and not a permanent re-
pair.
A blow-out patch Is only to assist ir,
the roadside emergency. After the
emergency Is past. It should be re-
moved and a permanent section built
in the tire to enable it to give the bal-
ance of the mileage of which it is capa-
ble.
When tlie patch is made to answer
the purpose of a permanent repair, the
warping of the tire incident to contact
with the road causes tlie patch to se-
riously chafe the inside of the car-
cass. The result Is that where a small
and Inexpensive repair would have
he«;n sufficient if taken In hand at
once, an expensive repair Is now need-
ed. And often the damage is beyond
cure.
• The fact that a blow-out patch is
rot built into the carcass, but Is se;»-
brate from It, increases its tendency to
chew the fabric, creating friction if u
permanent repair is too long neglected.
The blow-out caused by a tread cut
is usually a clean-cut hole. If it is
ragged looking, a severe bruise Is prob- :
ably the cause. If the fabric Is badly
raveled and torn apart, fabric separa-
tion.is often the reason.
The motorist who would escape j
this form of tire trouble should avoid
running over broken glass; should
guard against driving into curbs,
along the road, ami against rocks, and,
above all, should have his tires regu-
larly inspected by a competent tire
surgeon. •

Automobile Camping Is Made Possible
Which Can Be Packed on the
To automobile owners who wish to

Illustrated makes its strongest ap-
peal. It requires only a few minutes
to set up camp, und the outdoor meal
and sleep may be enjoyed even bet-

Make Full-Sized Bed.
A full-sized, substantial bed is made
hy fitting lengths of 1-Inch pipe to-
gether with side-outlet tees, to form
a frame 5 by 6% feet. The pipe need
rot be screwed tightly Into the tees,
itid can thus he taken apart easily.
The two legs at the outer end are
crewed Into the tees and Into floor
flanges, which rest on the floor. The
height of the legs depend on the height
of the running board, to which the
other end of the bed Is attached by
,i bolt, as shown In the detail. The
awning support is also In 1-inch pipe,
with side-outlet tecs at the corners. It
is supported by short lengths of pipe,
which screw into the pipe caps on the
running hoard of the car, and into
tees nt the outer edge, or foot, of the
bed. Sixteen-ounce canvas Is used for
the mattress. In which wide hems are
sewed with very strong seams. The
pipes at the side are slipped into the
hems. At the ends the -Tnnttress is
held by stout cords, laceto through
eyes In the canvas, so that it can he

The awn'ng Is 8 or 10-ounce canvas,
made like a tent to fit easily over the

to roll up and fasten with straps.. If
these rolls are too long to carry con-
veniently the curtains may he cut In

Is only the work of a few seconds to

necessary to provide five %-!nch
hoards 5 feet 2 Inches long, and 12
Tiches wide. These are laid across
the bed frame; grooves should be cut
in tlie hoards where they will rest on ,
the pipes, to keep them from being
pushed endways. The awning flaps

Is protected by the awning above.

THE ORANGEADE.
"They talk about birds who go
South for the winter and about but-
terflies and other little emit urea who
sleep all winter,” said the Orangeade,
“but my family might Just ns well not
exist In the winter time—ut least in
this part of the world."
“The same Is true of me, too," said
the Lemonade.
"And it is true of my family," the
Lemonade added.
“It Is true of me and of those of
my family like me in their ways,” said
the Ice Tea. "Some of my family
don't care f<»r Ice.
“They’re about all the time. But we,
of the family, who care to talk to the
Ice pieces, aren't around In the win-
ter—at least In tills part of the
world."
"It’s strange," said the Orangeade,
“that we re made such a fuss over in
the summer and yet In the winter
we’re forgotten about.”
"It’s very strange.” said the Lemon-
ade, "very strange, Indeed."
“Yes," suld the Ice Tea, "it is very
strange.”
"Not really strange,” said a Jittle
gnome who came up and sat on the
shelf where the orangeade and the
lemonade and the ice tea were
standing waiting for some tennis
players to come and drink them.
“What Is that you say?” asked the
Orangeade.
“Did I understand you to say It
wasn’t strange?" asked the Lemonade.
“Did I understand you to say thatV*
asked the lee Tea. “Of course I
don’t suppose it Is so strange as far
as my family Is concerned, as all my
hot tea relatives tire around all the
time, all the year, and every year.”
“Not Really Strange.”
"I’ll tell you why it isn’t strange,"
said the gnome.
"Do," the Orangeade said.
“I'd like to hear,” tlie Lemonade
added.
“And so would I." said the Ice Tea.
“You hate said that it was strange
that no one thought of you In tlie
winter time but that in tlie summer
time you were noticed and that you
might Just ns well not exist In the
winter time.
"Of course in a way you don’t ex-
ist In tlie winter time, for you’re not
made up into orangeade, lemonade
and Ice ten drinks.
“But at the same time your families
do exist because there are lemons ami
oranges und tea ail the year around
and there is Ice tea.
“Just ns tlie butterflies exist though
they go to sleep! And sometimes
your families are about in wanner
climates just as the birds are iu
warmer climates in the winter.
“But you see in the winter, when
it is cool, people do not want cool
drinks.
“How much they enjoy you and the
other members of your families in
tlie summer!
"They love to feel the cool glasses
in which you stand. With the kind
assistance of tlie ice pieces you help
make them cool and you taste so very
delicious.
“But it Isn’t strange that you aren’t
wanted in the winter when it is cool, for
no one wants a cool drink of orange-
ade or of lemonade and no one wants
a glass of ice tea when there is a
snowstorm and when the wind is
blowing outside the windows.
“You can understand that, can’t
you?" asked the gnome.
“Yes, I understand now,” said tho
Orangeaue.
“So do I," added tlie Ice Tea.
"And I’m glad I do,” said the orange-
ade, “for I was beginning to think it
wasn’t quite fair that we should be
so popular half of the year and the
other half not cared for at all.
