to the United States was
sunk, are now being deliv-

reports.
The recent receint of mail
from men who had been
fighting in the Philippines
led some of the recipients to
think that communications
had been reopened with the
islands, the department
said, but the letters actu-
ally started their long jour-
ney in March.
The mail left the islands
"probably bv way of a sub-
marine, which transferred
it in a mail couch to a
small freiqhiei." the depart-
ment reported.

was torpedoed. The mail

was pulled from the sea

DO NOT STOP FEEDING LAYING HENS
When hens begin to slow up in egg production, and the price
of mash remains high, many poultrvmen begin tb reduce the
laying mash.
"Keeping mash before the birds at all times has been advocated
by the Extension Service,” quotes D. D. Steele, county agent.
The following experiments from the station at Glendale,
Arizona, graphically proves this point.
White Leghorn pullets of a reasonably high egg production
strain were fed on an all-mash diet and were kept in comfortable
houses. Group 1 had free access to mash and ate all they wanted
of it. Feed consumption of Group 2 was limited to 87Uj7< and
that of Group 3 to 75'v of the feed consumed by Group 1.

PLANT FALL GARDENS
Now is the time to plant a
Victory fall garden. "Let’s do
this now.” suggests Miss Jewell
Hipp, home demonstration
agent. Here are a few sug-
gestions that should be helpful
to you in planning your Victory
fall garden:
The first thing to do is to get
the soil ready by removing all
weeds from the garden and ap-
plying a thin layer of burnlot
manure. Plow it into the soil
to a deoth of four to five inches.
Break the clods of soil as much
as possible.
Next, be sure to have plenty
of different varieties of seeds.
Do not limit your garden just to
turnips and greens. There are
many other vegetables suitable
for fall planting. Wise plan-
ning will assure an assortment
of godd vegetables which is so
necessary in the family diet in
order to keep America strong.
There are many advantages of
the fall garden: Summer heat is
avoided .insect infestation is
less severe .and rain is ordi-
narily sufficient to produce an
abundance of fall vegetables.
Here is a suggested planting
schedule for this county:
Plant these vegetables to ma-
ture before frost. First is the
vegetable to be planted, then the
variety and the date of plant-
ing:
Bean, pinto, Aug. 20-Sept. 5.
Potatoes, Bliss Triumph, Aug.
20-Sept. 5.
English peas, Thomas Laxton,
Sept. 6-20.
Radishes, Scarlet Globe, Sept.
6-20.
Beans, stringless green pod,
Sept. 6-20.
Lettuce—New York or Los
Angles, Oct. 15-30.
Mustard, tendergreen, Oct.
15-30.
Plant semi-hardy vegetables
to withstand light frost:
Carrots. Danvers half long,
Sept. 6-20.
Cabbage, Charles Wakefield,
Sept. 6-20.
Turnips, Shogoin, Sept. 6-20.
Broccoli, green sprouting,
Sept. 6-20.
Beets, Detroit dark red, Sept.
6-20.
Swiss Chard, Lucullus. Sept.
20-Oct. 5.
Plant hardy vegetables to
withstand heavy frost:
Collards, Louisiana sweet,
Sept. 6-20.
Kale, dwarf curled, Sept. 6-
20.
Onions, white Bermuda, Sept.
6-20.
Salsify, Sandwich Isle, Sept.
6-20.
Spinach, long standing BJootn-
•- Peed cost $3 per 100 pounds. Averagt
You will note that the price of feed was figured at $3.00 per
100 pounds and eggs at 25 cents a dozen. When feed was reduced
12l'vr<, egg production decreased 32L and feed cost per dozen
eggs increased 27',. When feed consumption was reduced 25','.
egg production decreased 52'J and feed cost per dozen eggs in-
creased 54 G . ■ i
Don’t make the mistake of limiting the amount of mash to
laying hens and thereby reducing the profits of your flock.
For further information concerning feeding formulas, see
poultry bulletins at the office of County Agent Steele.
possible to irrigate the garden
soil, seed potatoes should be!
planted without sprouting.!
Placing sprouted potatoes in dry (
dint,(does not gain much for the'
grower, and may eventually re-!
iard the crop by 'causing the!
sprouts to dry up for want of j
n^pisture. "Dry planting" may

ly preparing the soil and plant-
ing tne seed pieces 4-5 inches
deep where there is a better!

the potatoes before they are]
planted.

Spread out the seed potatoes
in the shade and cover them
wRh pine straw, oat or wheat
straw, or wet sacks. Keep wet
tejf several days until the pota-
toes'begin to sprout. Then ir-
rii'aty the garden soil to pro-
vide enough moisture to keep
the sprouted potatoes growing.
Drop the seed potatoes 14 inch-
es apart. 3 inches deep. Small
potatoes saved back from the
spring crop may be kept in a
cool place and used as seed for
fall, providing a rest period of
six weeks is allowed tq elapse
between harvesting and plant-
ing.
