You put a lid on waste every
time you seal a preserving jar.
Don't have an empty preserving
jar in your neighborhood next fall.
A quart of canned peaches or
tomatoes on the shelf is worth a
bushel rotting on the ground.
War is going to get some of all of
us and all of some of us, but we
must see that it doesn’t get all of
all of us. __
If you have more preserving jars
than you can fill, lend them to a
neighbor who will make them work
for the Nation.
India is larger than all the Pacif
ic states and contains abont four
times as many inhabitants as the
United States.
More than a billion dollars worth
of barnyard refuse is wasted in the
United States annually, which at
this time is a national tragedy, ac
c ording to Carl Vrooman, assistant
t ?cretary of agriculture, who in a
statement urges its conservation
as a war measure by American
formers.
President Wilson, through the
National Council for Defense, is
c tiling on the women of Arkansas
tj conserve the food. Not all of
us could buy a Liberty Bond, not
all of us can enlist for trench serv
ice but every woman can enroll for
food conservation. It has been
pointed out that in the United
States only 20 per cent of the food
ultimately reaches the kitchen, but
that women must account for the
talents given them is imperative at
this time.
The point has been reached
where war is waged literally by
whole nations. Every man, wom
an and child is involved, and nearly
every adult and most boys and
f.u Is can be efficient factors. We
are in this war for the purpose cf
defending our rights, of making
sure that, as a Nation, we shall be
able to live the sort of life and to
ha /e the sort of institutions we de
bit e, of making democracy persist
in the world, and of safeguarding
the world against the recurrence of
such a war as this. To accom
l !i->h this, the Nation must aim at
the perfection of organization, and
therefore, each individual must
t ognize the necessity of making
sacrifices for the common good and
snore than ever of working under
limitations—of doing team work.
Our people have a genius for or
ganization and they will not fail in
the task they have assumed. Our
farmers, on whom a great respon
sibility rests, are the most efficient
farmers in the world when they do
their best. They will not be found
wanting in this crisis.—David F.
Houston, Secretary of Agriculture,
Jura 12, 1917.

FARMERS MUSI SAVE
HOME GARDEN SEED
Declares There Is a Possibility of a
Serious Garden Seed Shortage
This Year.
By J. S. Knox, Horticulturist, Exten
sion Division, University of
Arkansas.
Mr. Farmer, do you realize that
there is the possibility of a serious
garden seed shortage this coming
year? Then why not make a special
effort to save what seed you need
from your own garden? Save a few
of the most vigorous and prolific
plants, then select the best seeds from
these and you have an article that nine
times out of ten is superior to what
you can buy, and at the same time
you know that they came from and
that they are true to name and free
from disease. For the benefit of those
who may wish to supply their own
demand for garden seeds with a home
grown product, the following direc
tions are given:
Remember, Select Only the Most Vig
orous and Productive Plants
to Furnish Seed.
Bean aitd Pea.—Allow me poos 10
ripen on the vine. When dry enough
to rattle In the pod, gather the beans.
It Is best not to allow them to become
wet after the ripening period. Thresh
out the beans or peas, dry out thor
oughly In the shade, then store in a
cool, dry place.
Beet and Carrot.—A very few
plants of each of these vegetables pro
duce an abundance of seed. Select
some of the best roots, take lip and
store in the cellar over winter, then
as early as possible in the spring
transplant to the field. Beet seed
stalks sometimes become very heavy,
and it may be necessary to tie them
to a stake. If the temperature does
not reach a lower mark than ten de
grees above zero, the beets or carrots
may be left standing in the field over
winter.
Lettuce.—As soon as the stalk dies
and the seed are fully mature, re
move the seed and store in a dry, cool
place. Seed of the lettuce plant are
short lived, and are not generally con
sidered reliable after the second year.
Okra.—Before frost gather the pods
or allow the pods to mature, then cut
stalk and hang up with pods attached
until seed are wanted for planting.
If desired, the seed may be shelled
from the pods and stored in some con
venient receptacle.
Pepper.—Select the seed pods from
vigorous plants, and as soon as ma
ture place pods on a string, or, if
preferred, shell out the seed and store
them in a small paper sack.
Parsnip.—The roots may be left
standing in the field over winter.
Seed will be produced the following
spring. When ripe, the stalks bearing
the seed are cut and hung up in a
shed to dry. When fully dry. thre«h
or rub out the seed and store as for
other vegetables. Do not try to keep
seed longer than two years.
Radish.—When ripe enough to rattle
In the pods the seed stalks are cut
Rnd the seed threshed out, dried and
put away for spring use. The less
rain that falls on the seed after ripen
ing the better the seed are likely to
be.
Pumpkin and Squash.—The fruits
may be stored In some convenient
place and the seed left in them until
wanted for planting, or the seed may
he removed from the fruits, washed
and dried. Here again we must keep
the seed away from rats or mice.
Seed are good for several years if
properly handled.
Sweet Corn.—Use the same method
for curing and saving as for field corn,
or shell as soon as fully dry and store
in small receptacle.
Tomato.—As the fruit becomes
fully ripe, gather, crush the seed out
into a small vessel of water, and allow
to ferment for about two days. This
fermenting will remove the little film
which surrounds the seed. Separate
the seed from the pulp by screening,
wash the seed in clean water and dry
in the shade, stirring occasionally to
prevent sticking together.
Turnip.—Seed of this vegetable are
among the easiest to save. The tur
nips sown in the fall will usually sur
vive the winter all right and produce
seed the following spring. However,
It may be safer to store some of the
ro-'ts in a celfcir and transplant the
following spring. These will produce
seed in early summer, and the seed :
stalks may be cut and hung up to !
dry, or the seed may be threshed
out by hand and the seed stored in
any desired receptacle.
All vegetable seeds should be
stored where they can be kept dry and
fairly cool. When stored under such
conditions they keep better and retain
their vitality for a longer period than
when storage conditions are not such.
For further information write to the
Extension Division, University of Ar
kansas, Fayetteville.
Be sure to see this column in the
next issue of this paper telling how
to protect garden seed from weevil
while In storage.
