A. Bouknight in his February farm calendar of suggestions for McCor mick county farmers. Agronomy 1. Manure is one of our best fertilizers. Make, save, and use more of it. 2. Study your soil and past fertilizer treatment and save money by adjusting this year’s fertilizer to plant needs. 3. Turn under all cover crops in plenty of time to permit decomposition be fore seeding (two weeks or more depending on cover crop and local conditions). 4. Plant more les- pedeza. Lespedeza is “Southern alfalfa”. 5. Be sure to v seed e- nough forage crops to supply am ple feed for livestock. 6. How is your permanent pasture? Horticulture 1. Plant strawberries, dew berries, blackberries. 2. Set out grape vines and fruit trees. 3. Plant asparagus and Irish pota toes in coastal counties; trans plant cabbage plants in central and upper counties. 4. Plant tur nips, mustard, spinach, lettuce, kale, peas, radishes, onions, par sley, 5. Plant in hotbeds: To mato, pepper, and eggplant. 6. Remember that gardens are just as important this year as during the war. Insects and Diseases 1. Place order necessary insecti cides, fungicides, and equipment. 2. Treat cotton seed with mer cury dust to control soreshin. 3. Spray peach trees with lime-sulfur or oil emulsion and Bordeaux to control scale insects and diseases before the buds begin to swell. 4. Spray apple trees with lime-sul fur or oil to control scale. Di-ni- tro, compounds also kill aphid eggs. 5. Disinfect sweet potato seed. See county agent for in structions. 6. Treat melon, cu cumber, and cantaloupe seed to obtain better stands. 7. Feed bees if stores are short. Agricultural Engineering 1. Check over farm machinery and order needed repairs now. 2. Plan terraces to make them wider to facilitate operation of machinery. 3. Grade yards or lots to provide better drainage a- way from buildings. 4. Make needed repairs tc farm buildings, such as leaky roofs and poor foundations. ) X Ten years ago a popular, writer said that the small fAmJ4y-size farm is a luxury that will (disap pear when farmers come to their senses. Wonder if that writjer will come to his senses! . * » LEADERS FOR BROTHERHOOD WEEK . . . Two American eid ers, President Harry S.

A A fmm* tm elm* * C tea**«l**M» ■JV/TORE than one woman has * , been moved’to J give thanks that her closets have doors be cause hidden behind them is of ten a disarray that is not her ideal of beauty and order. However closets for every purpose, as ef ficient as a card index system, can be worked out with a little concentrated planning. So be fore spring cleaning and over hauling actually begins, make definite plans for necessary changes that will insure neat closets. It’s a good idea to begin by tak ing inventory of the members of your household — their ages, ward--* robes and activi ties. Analyze what each closet must hold. Where is the most conven ient spot to stow the family’s over shoes, the house hold linen, the cleaning para phernalia? Then ,assign to each closet a definite purpose in life and fit it out to ful fill its functions. If your hall closet seems to be the acknowledged family dump, an auxiliary closet ia indicated. This second closet will take care of the overflow that is left per force in the hall closet and give you a chance to organize the whole conglomeration. On the door of the hall closet you might put up some men’s hat racks and 'attach an umbrella rack. Have a sturdy rod installed for overcoat-s with plenty of hangers and a shelf above it. Linen closets should be functional and spic and span. Shelves of graduated widths to take care of washcloths, pillow slips and guest towels make for 'assorted storage. Wide shelves for sheets, face towels and bath towels, draw ers for blankets and bed spreads and a wide, deep shelf to take care of comfort ers in their cases or boxes will take care of bedding. A woman’s closet needs two rods set at different heights, one high enough for evening clothes and the other lower for daytime dresses. A shoe rack, deep shelf for hat boxes and a set of shal low drawers for underwear and “accessories” provide sufficient space for the average woman. TOO FAT?

A: Bouknight, making these suggestions: Animal Husbandry 1. Make use of the small grains* (barley, oats, and rye) for hog grazing. 2. Graze fenced cover crops with beef "cattle. 3. Allow sheep one-half pound of grain per day and all the good roughage they will eat- 4. Improve per manent pastures by applying phosphorus and lime. 5.- Sow espedeza on permanent pasture n late March and early April. 6. Keep the breeding cows main- aining their weight. 7. If sows have lice, treat them with motor oil two or three weeks before far rowing. 8. Deck and castrate ambs when they are 7 to 14 days old. Dairying 1. Breed as many cows as pos sible during February for calving in November and early December. 2. Plan now. for a complete sup ply of home-grown feed for next winter’s feeding. 3. Provide for each mature cow: Silage, at least three tons, and one ton of hay or two to three tons of legume hay with no sNage; corn, eight bush els; velvet beans, 420 pounds; oats, 15 bushels; cottonseed meal, five sacks; permanent pasture, two acres; pearl millet, one-half acre. 4. Watch calves and yearlings for lice, which at this season do great est damage. Poultry 1. Put brooding equipment in working order. 2. Purchase chicks early from a reliable hatchery as records show that early-ha Xied chicks are the most profitab 1 . 3. Provide cl:an range for chick and pullets. 4. Hold hatching ggs not over 14 days before settin*- X William Cullen Bryant ! r a poem said something’ about “the forest primeval”; ‘but the* forest’s prime evil is,fire. \ T \ / v V F.
