M . STORED FOOD | USED IN WINTER Made From the Vegetables Raiser! in the Summer Time SEVERAL TYPES ARE AVAILABLE Get Tomatoes and Beans Before Frost. Leave Cabbages Until Later When F?ry:mt wrote "'Die melancholy days are come, the saddest in the year," lie inspired visions ofl barrenness connected with the first autumn frosts thai arc not justified if one knows how to prepare his varden stuff for the winter. There is no reason why a gardener who ;.ntic: pates ihe coM weather con not have vegetables with much of the garden freshness for weeks and even mop*lis after freezing time, if lie follows the instructions of the United States Department of Agriculture. To care for surplus vegetables in many cases re 4u: -- ijuiido imi'iiir: mure UIKII uif use < i existing facilities in or near Ilm homo. Tomatoes for Six WVoi^ After Frost Tomato vines usually have a large quantity of unripened fruit when tlio frosts come. It is customary to use much of this for pickles, but. the frost need not put an end to ripe tomatoes. If the vines arc pulled, or if they are cut and the ends sealed with parrafin or sealing wax, they cr.n he hung up in a cool cellar and the tomatoes: will ripen and often last for six weeks. < Another plan is to nick the tomatoes, wrap them in papers, and place them in shallow boxes or baskets. Lima beans should be picked before i the frost and spread on a slightly moist cellar floor, where they can be kept fresh two weeks. They should . be turned from time to time to keep them from molding. ! "T^abha ge can i'&maln in the garden i i until hard freezing weather, after i which it may be kept sound by sev- ] eral methods. One of the simplest is < to dig a shallow trench in a welldrained portion of the garden and j place the cabbage roots up in it, and , cover with straw and loose earth. For ( other vegetables such as Irish pota- , toes, beets, and turnips select a well- j drained location, make a shallow excavation, about 6 inches deep, line it , with straw or similar material, and place the vegetables in a conical pile on the lining. Cover the vegetables with the lining material and carry it up several inches above the apex of the nile. having it extend through the d irt covering for ventilation. The I top needs to ho covered with a piece of tin or hoard to keep out rain and snow. The pile should be covered with 2 or 3 inches of dirt, and the thickness increased with colder weather. These pits are rather inconvenient to get at in winter, and a good plan is to hurv several kinds of vegetables in nbout the proportion they will be used on the table, and take them out at the same time. Another pood plan with cabbages is to pull them roots and all, and set them side by side in a shallow trench of any width up to 8 or 10 feet, and as long as necessary. Cover the roots with earth. Erect a frame of rails, boards, or poles about 2 feet high; place poles across, bank the sides with dirt, and cover the top with straw or corn fodder. When the heads are cut, leave the roots and they will furnish early greens in the spring. Turnips and beets may be left in 'the field until a freeze sufficient to make light ice, when they should be taken up and stored if; pits or cellars. The same ' * ue of carrots and salsify. Parsnip? can stay in the ground all winter and improve with free/. i-.rt miaK* trouble be in ir to dig JiiK? - them when needed. It will be found advisable t<-> r\\<r a half p^?ck or peckat a time during the winter. J.ate potatoes should he loft in the ground until the top.-- die or are killed hv frrvt, and thr-n ducr before tho jrround freezes. They may be stored in pits like thos^ described for root vegetables, 01 in well-ventilated cellars. Dwrllintr provide* Good Storage A cool, well-ventilated cellar under the dwelling offers good conditions for the storage of vegetables. Cellars containing1 a furnace are usually too warm, but it is often possible to partition o<T a room where temperature may be controlled by means of outside windows. Natural earth makes a better floor for such a cellar than concrete or brick. Parrels crates boxec, or bins may be used as containers for the various vegetables, but movable containers are preferable to built-in-bins, as it is posible to retl r-m for cleaning. It is advis able to construct shelves or a slat floor to keep the crates, boxes, baskets, ami other containers olT the ground. Outdoor storage cellars or caves are excellent for the storage of many veg etabies. and avoid all danger of unpleasant smells permeating the living rooms. Full information on the storage of vegetables will be found in Farmers Bulletin 879, which will be Bent on request to the department. ? o OBITUARY On September the ninth about two o'clock death claimed Mr. Alvc Lewis.

SS:ESTIIEI5Iught SIDE OF WEEVIL Says Condition Is One that Affects the Entire United States POISON THEWMS AVAILABLE REMEDY Expert Investigator Thinks Weevil Will Finally be Controlled Continuing* his review of boll >veevil conditions in tiie J3< u' 1 tluspecial correspondent of T'-.e New York Times says that it is pointed out fortunately for lite South and the nation there i^ another and a bright M' side to tin4 situation.

A ca-lciiim arsenate preparation worked out l?\ the government exports will kill the weevil if applied in sufficient quantities to tlie plants during' the maturing periods, while short spacing of crops will make pos. :ble ui.der fair conditions a good bottem cro. While the woevii, if present in sufficient numbers, will destroy a iarge part or even all of the stalk, expericnee proves that the insect does not have tinie during the feeding season to jzot it all, and that the chances are better than even that from a properly planted and cultivated in a short spaced field?a field in which the stalks are grown so close as to form a hedge - - the farmer can make a paying crop from the bolls that will open ahead of infestation in thr> lowpv rir the bottom of the cotton plant. On a great plantation in Northern Mississippi he entire crop was eaten up und the middle bolls were badly :lamaged, while in the lower branches the yield was as heavy as in normal times. The owner o' Lhat plantation will realize a profit from the bottom or low stalk yield Respite the ravages of the pest. Other measures of control, including application of poison to the plants, arc the subpect of continous experimentation and study by the Government officials charged with boll weevil investigation and by prominent planters. The poison proposition is one as to the value of which opinion varies to a great extent. Director Coad of the government station at Tallulah, stated that the activities of the weevil in the season of 3921 had been the most erratic in history. Add Feature of the Situation. "One of the strange features o1 the situation," said Mr. Coad, "is that in wide sections of the territory the weevil has this year beer able to continue his war of de structiveness despite high prevailing1 temperatures. At first our re ports indicated that the hot dry wea ther eliminated a great part of th< weevil army, but rains followed a-nr the weevil overcame the handicai before the cotton matured and re sumed his work of devastation. Oi the other hand, planters who intelli gently applied the poison treat mcnt have, regardless of the per centage of infestation, made, accord ing to authentic reports, from fai to fine crops. Mi*. Coad said he believed tha everywhere in the cotton belt th [top crop?under normal condition the most valuable part of the yieldhad been greatly damaged or com pletely destroyed. "We have witnessed this year, added the Director, "the greatest in festation in history. There is n question as to the accuracy of thi statement. The spread of the infe? tation north and east was, of cours( to be expected, and we have no rea son to doubt that this infestatio will continue until all parts of th cotton-growing country have bee covered.

Mr. Coad was asked why it wa that in recent years, despite heav weevil infestation in larfc sectors c the South, crops of 12,000,000 half and more have been realized. "In the years referred to, an they are most recent," replied M Coad, "the weevil invasion had m reached Tennessee, Georgia and tli Carolinas, large sections of Arkanst and Oklahoma, and the northei parts of Mississippi and Texas, an the increased productions in tho? sections made up for the loss in tl infested nr./ts of the cotton bel But now thr weevil has very near completed his invasion. ?ind the siti at ion is, of course, changed. Tl battle is to check th* deprodatioi to the maximum possible extent, a*' to that end we. are working with, am convinced. most encourngir prospects, the main weapon availab to the planter, in my opinion heir poison." Weather an Important Factor. Referring to the part the woat.h< plans in th^ boll weevil war, M Coad pointed out that the insect hi 1 .rade an unusually early emergen this \-ear as a result of the abno mf.lly mild winter experienced in tl ?out> last year. Ir. the wint - month-: the wcevi! hibemates trees. under c< ;*d logs and .stump : n moss ar.d in oth<vr similar r 1 i'uges near cotton fields. A free ' ing winter sometimes delays i ! emergence to fate July, or even in August, the result, being that 1 THE HORHY HERALD. CON" 'eexpressing"' or hurrying his crop to maturity the farmer often has been able "to beat the weevil to i it," at least to a large extent. A warm winter, however, means that the weevil will emerge ready lor battle long before the cotton squares begin to form. This took place this year, the result being the greatest ' havoc to the cotton crop in the history of the South. Still another theory fov the apparently increased destructive power oC the weevil is duo, in the opinion of the I'Vdesai investigators, to the fact thai tlv.1 ins ct ha. become aeclimat eel over a large area of the cotton Lei and ihat i.; a le.-ult, more live througi ii wintei reasons than was the ca.v during ihe previous years of infestation. Another result of the boll weevi' invasion has bee/i, to a considerable t xtuit, the diversification of crops; ' in the South. The South is now ; | raising its own corn, alfalfa has uc -i ( ( i* uf'niilnv i ? V H/1 in ; unit' see- I tiom, and trucking; lias assumed in crea. ed pr h'. actions.

Extensive diversification would, therefore, mean the loss of a j uge sum to the agricultural West and South west, and the most in ! telligent elements in the South are! almost a unit in favor of diversification on the largest possible scale, j However, all sav that cotton mus' j continue, as it always has been the j "money crop" of the Southern state.-, it does not remate what the boi' weevil has or will cost the Western armers and cattlemen?anothei proof of Governor Manning's asser I .ion Unit cotton boll weevil conditions is a national and of a domestic problem. The boll weevil is a native of Mex ico and investigations by tho United States authorities have proved that it first crossed the Rio Grande int. ' the United States in 1892. The poin of invasion was near Brownsville Texas, in the extreme southeaster., corner of the cotton belt. At first the northward and east ward movement of the pest wa comparatively slow, and after two years it was reported only a fev. counties in Southern Texas. Then began the great movement which has ; continued to the present day, the dis1 tance traveled each year averaging about forty miles, although in some years migrations have been as high in certain section as 1(50 miles. During the first decade of the in^ vasion the annur.l rate of sprca<l ? was about 5,640 square miles, in tho " next decade it averaged a little less 1 than 27,000 square miles, and in 191 (i " I the spread had increased to more ' than 75,000 square miles annually. " The spread is now decreasing sharp'j!y, due to the fact that the weevil ! occupation of the cotton zone is al1 j most complete. 3! The adult boll weevil is about one fourth of an ich in length, varying i from one-eighth to one-third of an - inch, with :i bradth about one-third - of the length. This measurement in - eludes tho snout, which is about ono half the length of the body. Variar tion in size is due to tho amount o food the insect has obtained in the t larvae stage. Individuals from bolls e are therefore nearly always larger s than those from squares. The color of tho insect (grayish or - brownish) depends upon the time that may have elapsed after transit formation to the adult stage. The recently emerged individuals are 0 light yellowish in color, but this s passes to a gray or nearly black shade in a few weeks' time. ^ Government experimentation and 1 investigation indicate that each female weevil lays an average of 14(1 n eggs in a season, and no\er more 0 than one egg in a single cotton n square or boll. Each egg so doii .. , ii j) os i ton moans in practical i.v ever;. *? instance the destruction of tlv ' punctured hoi! or square. Wher once a fomaJr weevil has entered : boll, that boll will not a^ain bo ontered by any other female. Thr hours of maximum destruction arc y between 0 o'clock in the morninsr am r> o'clock in the afternoon, and i' is during these hours that 65 pei cent of the e^s are deposited ii d the squares and bolls. r.
