This is particularly true of the prenatal diet and diet in early childhood. It is impossible to build good, strong, healthy teeth without the minerals and vitamins needed. The minerals which are necessary are calcium and phosphorus. The vitamins which are important in building and maintaining good teeth are vitamins A, C and D. It is practically impossible to get the necessary calcium without an adequate supply of milk in the diet. Other foods furnish calcium but in such small amounts that a sufficient amount is not received from them. Cheese, green, leafy vegetables, molasses, dried beans and peas, eggs and whole grains are also good sources of calcium. Cheese, eggs, whole grains and dried beans and peas are also good sources of phosphorus. To these should be added lean meats and seafoods. The best sources of vitamin A are green and yellow colored fruits and vegetables, eggs, butter and whole milk. Vitamin C is found in greater amounts in tomatoes, (canned or raw), citrus fruits and raw fruit and vegetables than in other foods. Soihe vitamin D is found in butter, egg yolk, liver and sea foods. Extra amounts from fish liver oils ai;e needed for children. A well balanced diet containing a sufficient amount of milk, fruits and vegetables, especially leafy I m \ ismm. JUs , ipw? !

Bouknight makes these suggestions: Agronomy • 1. Do not ruin a good stand of cotton by chopping it all out. Leave two or three stalks every 8 to 12 inches. 2. For a profitable investment make a side applica tion of nitrogen to cotton soon after chopping. 3. Plan to put all grain stubble land into soybeans, cowpeas, or velvet beans for soil- conserving and soil-building crops. Horticulture 1. Sow tomatoes for July trans planting, collard and cabbage for August transplanting. 2. Mulch tomatoes heavily with straw or leaves to hold moisture and pro long fruiting. 3. Do not cultivate beans while the foliage is wet. 4. Apply nitrate ol soda to garden crops if not growing well. 5. Do not cut young asparagus too close ly; fertilize and manure the bed after cutting season. Insects and Diseases 1. Arrange to poison the boll weevil early. 2. Spray fruit trees for curculio, codling moth, and diseases. 3. Spray pecans with Bordeaux to control scab. 4. Band apple trees for codling moth by May 15. 5. Control potato bugs with arsenical poisons. 6. See the county agent about latest infor mation on tomato fruit worm. 7. Get ready to fight the screw worm. Agricultural Engineering 1. Keep working parts of farm machinery greased or oiled, as this is cheaper than repairs. 2. Check the mower, binder, or other harvesting machinery for needed repairs. 3. Be sure that grain is dead ripe before harvesting with a combine, which usually is 10 days to two weeks after it is us- tomary to begin harvesting \..th the binder. Soil Conservation 1. Watch the terrace channels during the planting and esti vating period. A big rain .ay slit them up in places and • ■ ose breaks later. 2. Sow some cl se- growing crop on newly constructed terraces. Sorghum or suda i is fine for this. 3. Visit your nearest Soil Conservation Service demon stration area and study the con ditions and results.

NATION, two women have been nominated for the office of President of the United States, and have carried on animated campaigns under auspices of the old Equal Rights party. They were Victoria Woodhull, who ran in 1872, and Mrs. Belva Lockwood, who opposed Cleveland and Blaine in 1884 and Cleveland and Harri son in 1888.

A. Bouknight gives these time ly reminders on the proper care of livestock for May. Dairying 1. Plan for three tons of silage per cow. Plant Biloxi soybeans in row with corn. Where cane is used, plant alternate rows of cane and Biloxi soybeans. 2. Plan for pne-half to one ton of good le gume hay per cow with silage. If silage will not be available, plan for two to three tons of bright, green-cured, leafy legume hay. 3. Plant enough extra corn to supply eight bushels of corn per cow this winter. 4(. Sow one-half acre of pearl millet for each cow for soil ing or grazing purposes in July and August. 5. Do not graze per manent pastures too closely. 6. Clean out the barns and premises to save manure and destroy breed ing places for flies. Animal Husbandry 1. Breed sows for fall littere. 2 Have all weanling pigs doub'e- treated for hog cholera. 3. ' c that the spring pigs are on l' i- tory not infested with int"..’-al parasites. 4. Feed. Iambs i.i a creep. 5. Use cats rather thar corn for the workstock. 6. Treat Hog Prices Look Good Plant Plenty Forage Florence, May 3.—With good prospects for hog prices this fall, A. L. DuRant, livestock specialist of the Clemson Extension Service, advises farmers to produce an the hogs they can up to the feed sup ply. To this end he suggests that plenty ofgpreen forage be planted now for prizing during the sum mer. “The Clemson College Experi ment Station and the experience of farmers have found that Biloxi soybeans is one of the best erbps for this purpose”, says Mr. Du Rant. “These beans should be planted in rows about 30 inches apart at the rate of one bushel of seed per acre. Commercial fertili zer, particularly acid phosphate, should be applied at planting time. “Another good summer grazing crop for cattle and hogs is pearl or cattail miUet. This crop can be planted in rows or sown broad cast, using 30 pounds of seed per acre. Good strong land and com plete fertilizer will give more grazing. “Commercial hog men should provide an acre of grazing for svery 10 to 15 hogs, and farmers who are growing only a few hogs for home use can cut these crops and feed green where fences are aot available. The hogs can be turned on these crops when about 10 to 12 inches high.” Reminding that the high price for hogs will be favorable for the farmers who have hogs to sell but unfavorable for the farmers who have to buy meat, the specialist urges every farmer to produce enough hogs for home use and a surplus for sale.
