TWO OF OUB HOST DEPENDABLE PRODUCTS. If it were not for the poultry and eg products of our country many people ,c "yould be-deprived of food that cannot be provided from any other source. Hany people often find a good meal at home, produced either from their fowls 'or eggs, and little do they appreciate that they would go hungr if they did nothave conveniently a few eggs or anmo fowls on hand. They produce every day in the -year, regardless of J ed. well-bred pullets, in my opinion, will be well fixed and independent Of course, those who are in a posi tion to do so should by 1 lmeans raise every bushel of feed they can for their fowls instead of buying it The man who raises his own teed and the ani mals to consume it is the person who will be independent and best fixed dur ing the next few years to come. There was never a time when the farmer had a better opportunity to be independent and live well at home at the present time, and if they do not take advantage nf this oDDOrtunity it is ineir uwu weather conditions, and people who fault. First of all produce everything , have an. abundance' of poultry will nev er suffer for something to eat. une large mistake people make is often in selling their eggs and fowls for less than actual value, and try to replace with something different that, is not near so good at a cost of nearly twice as much per pound as they realize from their poultry and eggs. People as a rule do not appreciate tme actual value or worth of poultry and eggs, and the farmer who produces poultry is.1001 you and your family need at home to eat, which every farmer can ao. ana you have something to sell it is all right But if not you are well sud plied with food, you will surely not suf fer.

Therefore, take care of your chickens raisfi some feed for them, and they will surely do their part in takine pare though at husking time he takes time to drive over the entire field. Looks like a dosing proposition doesn't it? And it ia. Now let us assume that by carefully testing all the. seed corn and ''planting none but that of high-germinatinr quality this farmer Is able vto et a; 90. per cent stand testing will not guar antee a perfect stand be has a loss equivalent to but eight acres.

One of the greatest luxuries the farmre has but does not really appre ito is in Ratine his own fresh eggs and fried chicken. They do not eat J fee planted to cora in the United States enough of this food, but attempt to eat: . h acre will e0 hog meat or something else that costs . "7. ; more money, and until tne consumers are willing to pay a better price for both poultry and eggs the producer had better use these at home rather than to sell at les thanactual value. This is one thing everyone can do, even Ihe poorest of people, produce a sufficient quantity of both poultry and eggs to supply the?r own table with this, the best of all foods. Everyone should hatch and raise a! the coultry they can this year and have a nice lot of pullets to produce eggs another winter. Eggs are sure to, keep advancing, more . so than Doultry: and if a bi feed crop should be nro duced in the south this year, which is practically a certainty, you will be en- v.id rv rnnvprt r.hean food'into high price eggs at more opportun time than t have corn . 1 TV10 ferppri at 1 There will' hopn offered. The breeder - who can carry through this coming winter a large number of early hatch- and into each acre will go otthpr tpstp.d or "euessedL-it seed. The 1916 corn yeild amounted to 2.583. 241,000 bushels. It would perhaps be well within reason to say that had rvn- mt mnr sppdbeen nlanted last Vear the yield might have been increas ed a bushel to the acre. iut as in dividuals are interested more in tjip personal application than in nubile saving-7-often unfortunately so let us see what seed-corn testing might mean to just one man. Suppose ayperso pants but 80 peres to corn. With average untested corn the probability, based upon figures compiled in various States, is that he will get only an 80 per cent stand. In other words, while paying retn or Interest on 80 acres he will reallv have corn growing on ut 64 acres. There will be 16 acres which he cul tivates as regularly as the otner, dux hp thrpe davs of ten hours each. The remuneration, then, barring the extra time reauired for husking the Increase at the end of the season, would be $10 j an hour, r $$1$00- a day. Then why not test our seed corn?

The infantile paralysis epidemic in New York resulted in the belief that flies spread this disease even though they do not cause.it.

There we find that all is not as well as might have .been "expected, for the insects are "eating; up" the crops of the farmers. Reports from all sections of Mecklenburg cotmty are to the effect that the like of cut worms was never before known. There lis also an unusually boring insects. The potato crop, upon wnich unpeo ple have been exertiner more thari or dinary labor and care has to be es pecially guarded giants the attacks of the potato bug, the f rimers having found that eternal vigilr ice and plen tv of Paris green are re price of a crop of potatoes, if any rop is to be expected. From what they say there is an insect of some sort ready to feed upon the first thing green which pops above srround. either in field or garden. The cause for this undesirable condK tion Is easily discoverable. r: The-in-4 crease of the insect pest may be traced directly to the decrease in the bird colony. As one farmer expressed" 1U the blrdLare as few as the incests are numerous," So, because the people and the Lefislature have been neglect ful of their duty to-protect the-birds. tne farmers are caned upon to maKe-i war on the potato bug while, the? coun try is making war on Germany, and' a needless burden is being imposed upon their ordinary pursuits.
