A natural source of vitamins ^ GrapeNuts with milk or cream Contains, every .element for perfect nutrition -- a complete food ijjiercs a Reason t • si Expected to Happen Based Upon Present Conditions. (Prepared by the United Matea Departra.mt of Agriculture.) "Agricultural forecasting by pnbllc agencies will put farmers more nearly on an even basis with those in other industries In deciding whether to continue In accordance with their old plans or readjust their production, owing to permanent changes which may have taken place in marketing conditions," says Dr. Henry C. Taylor, chief of the bureau of agricultural economics of the Department 'of Agriculture. "In periods of unsettled economic conditions, agricultural forecasting is of great Importance." says Doctor Taylor. "The great war has thrown economic relations out of equilibrium. The agricultural depression has resulted in efforts on the part of the farmers to Improve their situation through readjustments. "Forecasting can be viewed not only from the standpoint of the Individual farmer and the merchant dealing In farm products, but also from the national point of view--the supply of food and raw materials for the nation throughout a series of years. From the Individual point of view, forecasting is the basis of wise farm management and marketing. Basis of Policy. > "From the national point of view It w'the basis of a national agrlcaltural policy. From the latter point of view •gMcultural forecasting centers about the question of the right utilization of land--how much should be used for each of the cultivated crops, how much for forestry and how much for parks and playgrounds In order that the maximum of national well-being may be attained. "Frequent changes in the sources of •apply, quantities produced and the consequent changes In prices of farm products lead to a desire for a better basis of judgment than most farmers now have when projecting their plans for the coming year," says Doctor Taylor. "This has led various agencies to attempt to supply this need by making forecasts of what is likely to happen. A forecast is a statement of what may be expected to happen, based upon present conditions and observations interpreted in the light of previous experience and is the basis of planning beforehand what action to take in order to secure a desired aid. "Farmers of necessity make forecasts. In the light of their knowledge of the physical and economic environment they decide what they will undertake to do for the coming year-- bow much land they will use, the acreage they will put Into each of the various crops and the live stock they will keep as a part of the farming operations. Merchants who deal in farm products give even more attention to agricultural forecasting than do farmers themselves. In so far as the economic factors are concerned farmers too generally determine how much they will produce next year of a given crop on the basis of present . prices rather than prospective prices. As a result they have often planted highpriced seed in increased quantities and sold the increased quantities of product at low prices and, in turn, planted lightly of low-priced seeds and had a small production to sell at high prices. 8upply and Demand. "The buyers of farm products take Into account not only produce on hand, but the probable future supply of the product which may be forthcoming. If there is a 10 per cent surplus of the product of one year to be carried over to the next year, the buyer of this surplus naturally bases the price he is willing to pay upon the probable price he will be able to secure the next year and this he bases on the forecast of ods of A knowledge of "present trends In production and prices In the light past experience will add greatly to the' accuracy of forecasting. Furthermore, knowledge of the intentions of others, who are simultaneously figuring on making readjustments, will improve the basis of passing Judgment. The purpose of agricultural forecasting is the wise guidance of production in order that there may'continue to be a proper balance between the various lines of production and between agriculture and other industries.", Moderate Pruning Each Year Will Help Cherries Prohably there is no commonly grown fruit tree that Is so little pruned as the cherry, unless it is the quince. This Is not viewed as neglect by the fruit growers but rather as an unnecessary operation. It is partly due also to the fact that the cherry Is likely to throw out a mass of gum wherever the bark Is Injured or mutilated. But as a matter of fact, the cherry will respond to a moderate pruning. Just as does any other fruit tree. When the centers of the trees become thick and the twigs and branches throughout the Inner area of the trees are seriously shaded It results In unfruitful and dying branches. Also, what fruit is borne Is likely to run small in slse. It has been observed that cherry trees (both sweet and sour) which are left unpruned and underfed are likely to pro-, duce spurs which are irregular lu their bearing. For proper functioning of the cherry tree it is necessary to have good light conditions, and any Impairment of the foliage weakens the tree. It is well known that the cherry tree should be planted very early In the spring or else late In the- fall, so that It becomes established as soon as possible. This is partly due to the dependence the tree places upon the leaves as soon as they are put out. Therefore the cherry tree, contrary to popular belief, should be given a moderate pruning each year or every other year, opening up the tree so that light can penetrate to all parts. This applies particularly to the trees which are found in the door yard of so many city, suburban and country home*.

The adults pass the winter under rubbish, often at some distance from the vines. The destruction by Are of all fallen leaves and other rubbish will assist in the control of this pest, as well as the grapeberry moth. The adults return to the vines after the young shoots have made considerable growth and lay their eggs In the tissue of the under side of the leaves. Unfortunately, since these eggs do not all hatch at the same time, there Is a constant succession 'Of young hoppers appearing for some time. The adults are killed only with difficulty by spraying. The best results may be obtained some time between mid-June and mid-July when the largest number of nymphs are present on the leaves. In order to let ns many of the eggs hatch as possible, the spray may be delayed until the first-hatched nymphs are beginning to turn to adults and get their wings. This spray should be nicotine-sulphate and bordeaux, at the rate of one pint of the nicotine to 100 gallons of bordeaux. It Fortunate Affliction.

A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost pells itself, as like an endleos chain system the remedy ia recommended by those who have been benefited to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says, "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale."

Ne mm Farmer Can Make Use of Hides Produced on Farm. (Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) Directions for tanning hides on the farm are given In a new bulletin Just published by the United States Department of Agriculture!' and issued as Fanners' Bulletin 1334, "Home Tanning of Leather and Small Fur Skins.' This bulletin was prepared In response ro the thousands of requests received1 from farmers f^r Information tli«t wlil enable them to m«ike u>»c of lie hides produced on their farms and for which there Is often no market. Sometimes hides can scarcely be given away, yet farmers must pay from $1 to $1.30 a pound for leather in small pieces. Under such conditions farmers naturally feel that they must either work up their raw materials or 'io without the finished leather. While it Is possible to do a fairly satisfactory job of tanning on the farm, it requires some skill and a considerable amount of experience. Only In the event that the margin of price between the raw hide and the finished product is such as to warrant the farmer in tanning for himself U it advisuhle to attempt home tanking. The Inexperienced cannot hope to tnaice leather equal In apppfirauce, or possibly In quality, to^fnat obtainable on the market, Mit fanners ahd ranchmen should be /aide to make serviceable leather for most farm punxises by carefully following the directions given in the bulletin. It is never advisable for an inexperint* d person to tr> to Utn valuable fur " i S' • . 7 skins or larg§ hides to be mode In'o coats, robes, or rugs. The results would be disappointing, both in ap»«arance and quality. Small fur skins of lowmarket value, however, can be tunned for home' or country use, according to directions given In the bulletin, n copy of which may be obtained from the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, as long as i$e miaply last*. * . • . K • Cows on Scant Pasture Need Mixture of Grain ,Whether or not to feed moderate amounts of grain ration to producing cows on pasture is entirely a matter of Judgment on the part of the feeder. Wise dairymen will play safe and add an inexpensive grain mixture, especially late In the summer when pastures are dried down; Cows that are dry will benefit to a greut extent by tills plan, care being taken not to pile up excess flesh beyond the acceptable condition for dairy cows due to freshen in the fall. In any event the rate of grain to correspond with a milk flow Is much less under average summer conditions on pasture than for winter stable feeding. High producing cows, or cows due to calve In the fall, shpuld not be allowed to get into a run-down condition, and so the short pasture season is a critical period In the year's cycle. On ordinary pastures oats with corn or barley will furnish the bulk of the grain mixture, hut when pastures get short one must reckon on adding bran and oiluieul in limited amounts. inn ayer andlnsistl Unleas iron see the name "Bayer"* en package or on tablets you are not getting the genuine Bayei' product prescribed by physicians over twenty-two years and proved safe by millions for Colds Headache Toothache Lumbago _ Earache Rheumatism , Neuralgia Pain, I'aia Accept "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" only.
