Ho will not only find It profitable, slnco prices will doubt less be good, but ho will be aldlttg the country by providing a product of high food value when other sugars are scarce. t I Honey I* better than sugar. It Is more easily digested. It can be used In place of sugar or sirup. Knough honey goes to waste each season on every farm to relieve tho high price of sugar In the home.

Condition* Incident to the war point to n sugar *hortage, so It Is Important that beekeepers Increase the yield of honey. Thin can be ac complished by enabling the bee* to more thoroughly pasture every acre of cultivated or waste land. Help Fruit Production. A few good stands of bee* on every farm will help Increase tho yield of fruits and other crops by the dl*trlhu tlon of pollen from blossom to blossom, besides storing surplus honey.

Let yqur neighbors know you have the pare, unadulterated (Prepared by tha Unit ad lit at n m«nt at Agriculture.) The aweet potato la attacked by a number of fungus dlaease*. some of which attack the vine and others the tubers. Some of these diseases devel op and cauae losaea In the field, while others appear after the potatoee are placed In storage.

' This disease Is caused by the fungi Pnaariura batatatla and Kusarlum lijr peroxyaporum. The stem rot Is tlr*t noticed as a yellowish discoloration of the leaves at tho tips of the vines. If the stem la pinched open It will lie found blackened Inside. This discolor- : a lion often extends 3 to 5 feet from the hill, and,la aeon followed by willing and collapse of the vine. Later the Item ruptures and the surface becomes blackened and rotted, though the plant nay produce a few potatoes. The fun pa causing the dlseuae may Invade the potatoee also, forming a blackened ring about a quarter of an tach bolow the SfilSie*, ; Control. —The fungus rousing stem R>t lives through the winter on dead feweet-potato vines left In the Held and i In potatoes put in storage. The dis ease may, be spread by itiaects, farm animals, farm Implements and wind, or by dumping discarded dlseaaed pota toes on the fields as fertilizer either 1 before or after feeding to live stock. ■ Stem rot may be controlled by proper selection and handling of seed potatoee, by using clean hotbeds, and i by crop rotation.

Farmer* wno have been to move will ' And the following suggestions helpful: I In moving bee*, close the entrance with : Hereon wire befort day. when all lieea j will be Inalde. Take a atrip ofscreen ! wire three Inches wide and two Inches I longer than the bee entrance, bend over the end* *o that It I* exactly the > length of the entrance, then bend the j strip lengthwise Into a V shape, and j push It tightly Into the entrance. This closes the entranco and serves for ven tilation. Ite sure thnt there are no other openings left. Hun a baled hay wire lengthwise around the hive, draw ing and twlstfhg It tip gently. Hun an other crosswise In the same way. Have a wagon closo at hand with plenty of hny, straw or small brush to relieve the Jar. Hot the hives crosawnys. far enough apart to crowd n partly filled sack of straw, leaves or hru*h between them and tho sides of tho wagon bed. When all I* carefully done, hitch the team to the wagon and drive to where tho bees are to he placed. Unhitch before doing anything else. Then set all the hlvea In permanent place as nearly a rod apart a* convenient. Take off the hnled-hay wires. Place a wisp of loose hoy, straw, grass or tine brush close up In front of the entrance, and open tho entrance about two Inches at first. The trash In front of the en trance causes every bee to take notice and mark the new location. If the en trance were thrown wide open, the bees would come out too fast, and soon find themselves lost In midair; and If not too for removed from the original place, would go back and find them selves homeless. Move bees In the cool of the day, Klther a single queen or a carload of stands can he transported with ease and safety. Is very hard to detect the dlaease on young plants when pulled from the bed, therefore tnsny dlseaaed plants are aet In the field and continue the spread of stem rot. It Is necessary, then, to have i seed potatoes free from disease, and | theao civil be secured by growing seed from vine cuttings on new land or In | selecting the seed In tho field at time of | digging. In selecting the seed each hill should be tested by splitting the stein, ! and If no black streaks appear the p>- | tatoes may be used for seed. This ae- I lection should be done before frost hna blackened the jlnes. The seed potatoes should be placed In the stdrage house separate'from other potatoes. Dipping Seed. -In the spring at bed dlnf time the need potatoes should be i dipped for 5 to lO.mlnutes In a solution of corrosive sublimate, made by dis solving one ounce In eight gallona of water. The solution should be placed | In n wooden container, such as a keg 'or barrel, and the potatoes may be dipped by using a burlap sack or a wire basket. After dipping the potntoca abould be rinsed In clean water and al lowed to dry before being bedded. Tlila dipping will not kill the fungi that may be In the potatoea. but It will destroy all spores on the surface. Preparation of the Hotbed. —The use of the same hotbed year after year la probably one of the chief ways of spreading stem rot. In localities where ! the disease Is prevalent the soil In the hot bed should he changed every year, ami the framework of the bed and surrounding ground should be ttmr- I oughly soaked with a solution of one ' pint of formalin to thirty gallons of | water or a solution of one pound of j copper sulphate to twenty-five gallons lof water. New soil or snud for the hotbed ahould be procured from a field where potatoes have never been grown. As rich.dirt U .mot necessary for the bed. aaiTd may be procureJTron) a sand T>»nk and thus danger of Infection consider ably lessened. The same- wagon or tool* used In liauUng away Infected dirt should not he used for hauling In new aitod, unless Ihey have been disinfected with,a Holutlon of formalin or copper sulplMte of the previously mentioned! In localities where sweet-potato dis eases are prevalent flre-heated hotbeds lire preferable to' those heatud hy ma nure on account of the chances tliut the manure may have become infected. Plscanled diseased notatoes usually And their way to the manure pile, and If any dlsrtkaed potatoes are left any where ak'int the furm, Infected parts may he carrli-d around on the feet of chickens and other turm animals. Crop Rotation. —Healtliy plants may be grown hy careful fieed selection and proper care In the preparation of the hotbed, but If these plants are set In soil that Is Infected with disease, much of the effort toward control Is wasted. Sweet potatoes should be set In new ground or ground upon which potatoes have not beep grown for several years. It Is not known how long the fungus of stem rot will live In the soil In the ab sence of sweet potatoes, hut If they aro not planted oftener than once In four years the fungus will undoubtedly bo greatly reduced.' Black Rot (Black Bhank, Black Root). JJlack rot Is caused by the fungus Sphperoneina fUuhrlatum and may oc cur on any underground part of thu plant. On the |>otatoes the disease U characterized hy dark, slightly sunken, more or less circular si>ots, while on the stems It appears as small black spots which soon enlarge unfit the whole stem Is rotted off. On the po tatoes the surfnee of the diseased spots Is of u metallic luster anH Just under neath the spota the tissue Is green. When cooked the potatoes are very bit ter. Control.—Black rot I* disseminated In about the same general wk|S'a» stem rot, but unlike stem rot It *liJlid* free ly In the storage house If wndltlon* are favorable. The funXiis jnny bu spread In the storage house by handling the potatoes, by settling In the bins, and by files and other Ihsects which may carry the spore* on their bodies. The same method* of control used for stein rnt will control bluck rot, em phasis being laid on preparation of the hotbed, proper selection and bundling of seed, and crop rotation. Where black rot Is prevalent the potatoes aft er being dipped should be picked over carefully, and ull that show susplclous 'ooklng black spots should be discard ?d. Treating the fields with lime, sul phur, etc., ha* no effect on tile disease, mid dipping the plants In bordeaux mixture or lime-sulphur mixture Is not to he recommended. Foot Rot (Die-Off). This disease I* caused by a fungus called I'lenodomu* destruens. The dls ea*e fir*) appear* a* small brown-to black spots on the stein of the plant near tin- soli line. These spots spread very slowly, but eventually girdle th« plant and extend 4 or 0 Inches up the stem. Control.—Foot rot is distributed In the same mnnncr a* stem rot and black rot, but unlike black rot It doe* not cause heavy dnmage In tho storage house. I'roper seed selection, care In preparing the hotbed, and crop rotation will aid In controlling foot the same ns stem rot and black rot. Scurf (Soil Stain, Rust, Jersey Mark). This I* a disease caused by the fungus Monllochaete* infusca'n* and Is characterized by a brown discoloration if the surface of the underground pari* of the plant. The discolored areas may be spots of varying slr.e and shape, or there may he n uniform discoloration of the entire surface of the potato. Control. —The fungn* lives through the winter on potntoes In storage and on decayed vines left In tho field. If Infected potatoes are used for seed, tho fungus grows from them onto the plants and I* cart-ted to the field. No Injury J* caused to the plants In tho lied or In the field, but the growth fol lows down from the stem of the plant to the potatoes. Dipping the seed a* for stem rot will destroy all spores that may be on the surface of the potatoes. Deep, clean cultivation, crop rotation, and the selection of disease-free seed potatoes will aid In controlling scurf. Soft Rot. Soft rot la caused by a mold known a* Itlilr.opus nigricans, and this fungu* Is one of the most destructive disense* In the storage house. Tho fungus ea ters at one end of tho potato and grows rapidly. With a high temperature and * relative high hmnldlty a few days are sufficient to destroy the entire potato. The potatoes become soft, watery and stringy at first, but as the moisture In the roots evaporates they become hard and brittle. When the nkln I* ruptured while the potnto Is soft a moldy growth appear* on the surface, The spore* of the fungu* may be apread by handling the potatoes, or they may lie carried about rhe storage hon*e by (lie* and In sect*. Control.—Careful hnndllng of the po tatoes when stored, no as to avoid bruises, and proper management of the storage ►trnw. a* recommended under "Storage." will aid In controlling *oft rot.

GROW PLENTY OF ROUGHAGE Cut Down en Cotton Acreage and Plant Enough In Peae and Sor ghum or Stock Feed. The all-cotton farmer must pull fod der or buy ronghaps, both very ex pensive. Fodder pulling has a very strong hold on the small farmer and the all-cotton farmer. There Is not any better way to break away from this habit than to plant cowpeas and sorghum for hay. Aa long as the farm er makes no effort to grow hay he sim ply must pull fodder or buy hay. To produce hay is chegpgr than either.

GERMAN MILLET IS FAVORED Most Generally Grown, Being Quite Resistant to Heat— Bow In August and Harvest In Fall. IBy J. F. NICHOLSON, University of Arizona.) Most vurletles of millet cnn be quite readily grown, although the yield Is not n* great an In some cooler regions. Tho ordinary varieties are nown dur ing August and harvested during the fall, German millet la most generally grown, being quite resistnnt to heat and drought. Pearl millet may be planted during the spring, and will grow luxuriantly all summer, but does not seem to be as desirable as sor ghum for a forage crop. HOW THE BEES KEEP WARM Those Inside the Cluster Which They Form In Cold Weather Go Through Vigorous Exercise*. The bee upholds his reputation for Industry throughout the winter months as well as during the summer. Being susceptible to cold, the beo must have some means of supplying warmth. It was found by experiment that on ly the shell of the cluster made by the bees In cold weather is compact. This is formed by one of several layers of bees all solidly arranged with their heads Inward, their hairs Interlacing. This arrangement Is perfect for con servation of the heat within. Except for an occasional shift of positions the bees forming the shell are quiet. Itut within the shell strange things are going on. It Is here that the heat Is generated. And the antics are not unlike our own when wejire cold. The bees are packed loosely within tho shell so that there Is plenty of space for many bees to be exercising at a time. Rapid fanning of the wings, shaking the body from side to side, rapid breathing and other movements are all part of the scheme for raising the temperature. In one particular Instance, when a bee had been rapidly fanning with his wings for seven and a half minutes, the thermometer nearest lilin rose half u degree, Fahrenheit. . WARMTH IS FOUND IN SNOW Without Its Protection In Winter Tim ber Supplies of the Northern Areas Would Disappear. Few of our readers would credit that the absence of snow would double tho price of timber. The grenter part of our common timber comes from the forests of Canada, Scandinavia and Russia. All these countries suffer from u very severe winter, says London Tit -11l ta. For nearly five months of the year their surface Is burled deep under a mantle of snow, and the thermometer In the heart of the greatest pine forests not uncommonly fulls to 80 degrees be low sero, I. e., 02 degrees of frost. Snow is one of the best nonconductors of bent or cold In the world, and when the full Is n foot deep a thermometer showing 0 degrees on Its surface will If burled beneath the snow, rise to about 30 degrees. The snow, there fore, Is an enormous blanket, protect ing the roots of the trees from the In tense cold. A full-fledged pine can stand almost any degree of cold, but n young tree ennnot do so. It might sprout during summer, but a snowless winter would Infallibly kill It If, therefore, snow ceased, the enormous timber supplies of northern Europe, Asia anij America would disappear.

TABLETS 4,000 YEARS OLD Writings Dating Back as Far as 2,000 B. C. Are Translated by Univer sity of Wisconsin Professor. A number of Sumerlan tablets, writ ten at least as early as 2,000 B. 0., have been translated by Prof. P. T. Kelly of the department of Semitic languages at the University of Wis consin. Of about thirty cones and tablets translated, almost all were lists of animals and men. The Sumerlan tablets are difficult to read, as the writing Is a combln» tlon of wedges used In different ar rangements to form words, and the grammatical construction Is not like that of any other language. Most of the tablets are dated by correlating them with certain well-known events, such as the year a certain city wns devastated or the year a king was crowned. The contract tablets are mostly lists of commodities, such as the following: "One cow (received) from Garkua lah, the farmer; one cow exchanged for the donkey of Nanlasl; sixteen sheep exchanged for the donkey of Nlnnuskanltlr; one gur. ten qa of grata eatable* (bread) 1 (received) for a sacrifice (sacrificial feast) of Rakl glshnlka at Erech. The donkey of Er-Erarashar was captured alive at Shaduheblrunl, the year (the king) devastated Haknurl." Specimens en Display In British Mu seum Seem to Be Also Rattler i and Picture Book Combined. Possibly a hollow gourd constituted the first baby's feeding bottle. Torn from Its parent tree, Its edible Interior would have found Its way to the stomach of It* adult plucker, after which the hollow shell would be filled with milk or other liquid refreshment for the satisfaction of the infant. In tropical countries, 'again, the co conut would constitute a natural feeding bottle, already filled with the necessary nourishment. Without, however, Indulging In spe culation of this kind It may be noted that the archaic vase room at the Brit ish museum contains specimens of feeding bottles—"tetlnoe," archaeolo gists call them—dating back to be tween six and seven hundred years before Christ These very early babies' bottles art usually globular in shape, are elabor ately decorated and are covered with small knobs which, it is conjectured, were used to hang tiny bells upon. In short, the feeding bottle of those days was also a rattle and a picture book combined. x^ WANTED I Ladies "or men with rigs or auto mobiles to represent a Southern Company.
