According to the plans, which may be obtained from your Farm Demonstrator, the house is const meted with a concrete floor with sides of concrete two feet high. On top of this the sides are continued with two teet of lumber. The remainder of the aides are screened with wire screen. The plan calls for a door on one side that will be large enough to make it passible to dean out the droppings easily. This is one of the most important steps in the "Wage War

How To Get Sweets UEaTinrn Sweet potato growers who expect to enter a part or all of their crop for certification, in order to dispose of seed or plants, should make their entry with the Bureau of Markets before the first of July, according to Circular No. 94, which has recently hern issued by the State Department of Agriculture. The varieties which maybe entered for certification arc Red Jersey, Yellow Jeriey, Big Stem Jersey, Red Brazil and White Yam. A fee of five dollars n charged for the first two acres or less and one dollar for each additional acre or fraction thereof. Three inspections are made by the State Inspector lyed by the Bureau of Markets and the seed which certification is published in the list ot certified growers drcularizcd by the department.

Take Cake op Youb Feuit Fruit in general will not be as plentiful in this section this mer as it was last year. Therefore it will be advisable for anyone having fruit, even though it may appear to be somewhat scattered, to take a little extra care of it. That is, a few well developed apples or peaches this year may bring more than a Jot of small ones did last r*r- a;ip •*._ Persons having just a few peach or apple trees in a home orchard should consider the idea of using a small hand dusti^: in controlling insects and diseases. This method would be of considerable less trouble than (be use of liquid sprays. At the present time apple growers have to guard their crop against the coddling moth. To do this the apples have to be kept coated with arsenate of lead. Tins insect ha-- begun to do its damage in quite a number of orchards in this section. Most growers at this time apply both a fungicide and an imerticidr—the fungicide bang for the coot of of scab, blotch, bitter rot and other tungi. On account of the danger of too much arsenical residue on the fruit of the early ripening varieties, such as Transparent, Star and Duchess, this should be the last application. If this application is made thorough, a considerable part of the trouble with the second brood coddling

moth can be avoided.

How To Staet With Bees There are many locations in South Jersey where honey producing plant* and trees grow in abundance and a few hives of bees could be kept. Some folks like honey, but do not keep bees because of the coounon knowledge that they can hi very disagreeable when disturbed. Anyone who has studied the habits of honeybees knows that they are very easily managed u handled properly. Bees need a certain amount oi honey for their own use. but a vigorous "colony" will often gathrt a surplus of more than 1(E) pounds, in a season. This surplus is what the owner "robs" from them and sells. If all is taken the bees will perish from starvation. The way to start it to buy a modern hive with a colony of bee* established in it. Then get a view and a bellows smoker and you are a novice bfe-kcrprr. Your -.uxess will depend largrlv upon your interest and study of the habits and needs of the bees.

Advantages and Cost of Imucathis Almost a million dollars' worth of sprinkling inigation equipment is b ng used by New Jeriey farmers, according to a recent survey by the State College of Agriculture. Many <it lire,.- tanners reported that in addition to protecting them against droughts irrigation enables them to produce two to five crops a year, and that the quality of the produce is much improved. Irrigation eq ipmcnt takes away that uncertainty as to whether or not nsin will tome at tlie right time. Owners of this equipment furnish water to tire : ,p, when they need i’ id as often as it is needed, which gives larmrrs with irrigation a Dig advantage over those who do not have it. The average cost of installing an acre of irrigation equipmriu :i this Sure was found to be $354. Operating expenses, exclusive of depreciation, take $26 and rtpaiis $4v The average length of litr <4 an irrigation outfit is twenty years.
