, I j
State iood and health ofiicia's have j
used various m.^ans to control cffoc-1
lively the sanitary condition of , '
places where foodstuffs ai o sole!.:!
One of the most effective means that j
has boon employed is that of securing t \
t!io coopcraiton of women's clubs and \
civic 'organizations. When a dele-1
nation of women customers calls upon!
a merchant and suggests that h<% j'
cVsan up, he is compelled to put hisV
store Jn good condition and to keep it
so. When the grocerymen in a town '
find that a large portion of the house ^
keepers arc buying only from the
cleanest ^stores, there arises a wliole.
i
some form ol competition. A loot!
inspector can, under ?ven the best 1
condiitons, inspect a store but a few
times during the voar, because of the (
. i
number he has to visit The custo-1
i I
iruers come every day, however, and j
when they act as unofficial sanitary
inspectors the merchant with the un- (
clean store can not escape detection '
and punishment in loss of trade.
(
Competition in cleanliness has been
secured in one State by means of colorecl
placards which the inspector
gives the merchants who keep their
stores iit a sanitary condition. A store ^
in excellent condition gets a largo ,
white placard, one in firm condition
gets a blue placard, and one in good
condition gets a rod card; the stor.e
that falls below the latter grading j
gets no card. The proprietors are ^
permitted to keep the placards posted j,
in a conspicuous place as long as the ^
store is kept in the condition reprervu,

among the merchants to get and keep
the best placards. The buying public
knows what the different colored
placards signify an<l are particularly
* 4 r
partial to the white placard stores, y
Other States have adopted a score- ^
card system similar to that used in
grading dairies. The inspector scores '
each store where foodstuffs are sold
according to certain points indicated ;
on an inspection card. The scores ^
are made public through the local
press or by means of bulletins or circvdars.

DS 6TGRAZING
ON THE W90DL0T
Farming, .grazing and forestry are
the 4,hree principal use* of land for
vop production. Farming is the
merit intensive, and forestry is tin
bast, with grazing midway between,
in most systems of diversified farm
tug they are mixed, particularly eulti
/ation and grazing. Where it b
possible, grazing and timber growing
irt restricted to the parts of the
farm not suitable for cultivation; but
grazing in most farming systems is
permitted on cultivated land to improve
ifs fertility, and bo:h grazing

Two advantages are claimed to r. suit
from grazmg in forest areas? i
favorable germinating conditions in j
he soil cover and protection from i
iirt. Where there are extensive
V.rests with heavy gra~s and weeds.
jv the timber tracts are interspersed
vitli range areas, there is a possibility
of sonv; fire protection from grazrp
thiough tht reduction of the crop
if inflammable forage. In small
related wood/lots surrounded by cultivated
fields, this does not apply.
A'he re woodlots form continuous
-trips along ridges, grazing might
ecasionally afford some fire protection,
but practically its value is nagigiblc.
As to the beneficial effect on seed)Od
eondi'ions, there is a wide differnice
of opinion. Where there is a
icavy leaf litter or grass sod, inter
niltent grazing may serve to breai.

'urther advantage that young scediiigs
are benefitted by having the
made of a heavy forage cover roduo
id. Under favorable natural condiions,
good may result from adjusting
the grazing to the requirements
>f tlte trees for vigorous growth. The
Ufl'ieulty lies in the practical application
of interrupted grazing. Th.i
nse of the woodlot for grazing purposes
is apt to be continuous when
nice begun, particularly if it is found

lone at first is offset by later danv
igo.
The damage done by grazing fall
r.to two main classes, browsing an<

imount of damage, of course, depends
n the intensity of the grazing. Light
grazing will not do great damage excpt
under very unfavorable condiions
or when the trees are young.
Whether it is profitaWe to put
took into the woodlot depends upon
ther considerations besides the proluction
of timber. The woodlot always
affords some feed and room for
he stock to range around, protection
rom the storms of winter, ami shade

In conclusion, it may be laid down I
that if the welfare of the woodlot |
alone is desire<!, grazing has no place
in it. Light grazing may be permitted
if other considerations make it
necessary, but it is better to keep
stock out if possible or practical.
From the standpoint of stock raising
or dairying it may become desirable I
to do some grazing in the timber
areas on the farm or to use their
protection. If protection only is
wanted, a small part of the woodlot

The dewberry has proved profitable'
hi iuar.y sections because it ripens
somewhat earlier than the tiue blackferry,
which it resembles greatly in
-ome respects. Sometimes the dewberry
is called the trailing blackber ry,
because its canes trail on the
ground while those of the blackberry
rc upright. The clustcis of the dew
herry alsc are small and open in com?
parison wi,h these of the blackixnry.At
the present time the dewberry is

result in a better growth of the piants
tiie first year, ami the pJar tation will
yield a 1 p much sooner tlian if no
such jv-.y aralion is made.
Two systems of planting are followed?the
hill system and the soli?'
row system. With, the former vitc
plai ts arc set ."> foot distant each
way; with the latter, o-f.eet apart in
rows which a e -1 to <i feet apart. Cub
tivation is begun as soon as the
plants are in the ground and couth.uj
ed until the growth of the canes trail
j ing along the ground interferes w th
if. work. The following spring,
just hetore the buds start, the canes
hould be trained. Tlicro are a num|
her of different ways of doing this, do
( tails of which are discussved in Farmers'
Bulletin 728, a new publication
of the department on this subject. Lit
some cases, where the hill system is
used, stakes are <-.?t by each plant and
the canes wound in a spiial around
them . With the so!id-row system of
culture, posts are sometimes set between
every two plants ami in other
places a wire trellis is used.
In tiie South, where the growing
season is long, all the canes, both old
and new, are usually cut off after the
lVuit has been picked. Tn
regions the season is too short to secure
a large amount of new growth,
and in consequence the old canes only
are removed. The former method
has the advantage ot' minimizing
from the disease which affect
the dewberry. Of these the twomost
serious are anthracnose and
double blossom. In States where it
is not possible to remove the canes
after harvesting the crop, the disease
is controlled by removing in the
spring all buds and canes which show
infection.
Prospective dewberry raisers usual
y obtain their plants from nurseries.
Those, however, who already have ?
llantntiAn ?
? v?n raise ineir own plants
>y covering the tips of the young
anes with a few inches of soil late in
He summer or early in the autumn.
These tips will root freely and the
lew plants will be ready to dig late
hat fall or early the next spring.
*h* duration of a plantation will de>ond
largely upon the attention it reeives
and the system of pruning
dopted.
