MILI ’.ON-DOLlArt SERVICE
TO CANTALOUPE INDUSTRY
*< The assistance rendered the < an
taloupe growers an! .shl.one v? in the
Imperial Valley of California by the
of Markets, U. S. Department of Ag¬
riculture, has saved the industry
$1,000,000 a season,” was the state¬
ment recently made by the growers
and shippers concerned.
According to marketing experts of
the Bureau of Markets the canta¬
loupe interests in this section have
periodically experienced great diffi¬
culty in marketing their crop, a high¬
ly perishable one, and a crop that
should be sold promptly to avert fi¬
nancial disaster. Production has re¬
peatedly outrun distribution.
Some years ago when the bureau
established its new service in con¬
nection with the volume of receipts
and the prices paid for fruits and
vegetables at large marketing cen¬
ters throughout the United States,
a special representative was sent to
the cantaloupe-growing section to as¬
sist the shippers with the efficient
distribution of the crop during the
rush season. Some idea of the size of
the job can be had from the fact
that 5,744 cars of cantaloupes were
shipped in 1917, 4,405 in 1918, and
7,799 in 1919.
Similar service is rendered other
industries by the bureau’s represen¬
tatives, whether it is peaches, sweet
potatoes, cotton, wool, oranges, ap¬
ples, or any other extensively used
commodity.

ON THE TRAIL OF MISBRAND
ERS.
Calcium arsenate is the best poison
to control the cotton boll weevil—
jand it must be just right or it will
kill the cotton. Last year .1 great deal
of poor calcium arsenate was on the
the market. Some of it contained so
much water soluble arsenic that it
would not kill the weevils. This year
the United States Department ol
Agriculture, acting under
of the insecticide act of 1910,
bending eyery effort to check up all
shipments of calcium arsenate for
in control of the boll weevil. The
secticide and Fungicide Board
sent into the South all inspectors who
can be reasonably spared from
work, and it is their duty to collect
samples and aid the United States
attorneys in the seizure of all ship¬
ments that are founr by the board
to be injurious to cotton or are in
effieent or are otherwise adulterated
or misbranded. Not only is the ship¬
per subject to loss of his goods by
seizure, but he is also subject to crim
inal prosecution for adulteration
m isbranding. Seizure proceedings are
conducted in the court where the
goods are seized, and the criminal
prosecution is brought at the point
from which the goods are shipped.
The inspectors have the aid of va
rious other branches of the Depart
ment of Agriculture in finding the
trail of dangerous or inefficient cal¬
cium arsenate. The county agents
are on the lookout for it. The boll
weevil laboratory at Tallulah, La.,
asks all farmers who buy calcium ar¬
senate to send a sample to the labora¬
tory, where it is analyzed. If it is
found to be “off color,” the nearest
inspector is notified and immediately
begins preparation for seizure in the
evnet that the defect is serious
enough to constitute a violation of
the insecticide act.
The system of controlling he wee
vil by poison has been worked out
by years of research, and no effort
will be spared to keep it from get
ting a black eye” by the use of mis¬
branded, ineffective poison.
Grower* Should Hold Cotton
And Sell A* Needed By Mill*.
Approximately 70 per cent of the
country’s cotton croy is marketed
during four months of the
September, October, November, and
December—according to reports to
the Bureau Crop Estimates, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The remaining 30 per cent is sold
during the other eight months. On
the basis of a 12,000,000-bale crop
this means that 8,400,000 bales are
sold during the four months. The
mills do not consume cotton at
rate; in fact, consumption is
uniform throughout the year. There
fore, during the four-months period
the supply is greater than the de¬
mand with resultant low prices to
the farmer.
If *!..-• nulls purchased the e-ri di¬
rect lower prices of cotton goods to
the public might result. But that is
not the procedure. The crop is boulht
early in the season by merchants who
supply the mill with the raw
as it is needed. And when the cotton
is finally sold to the mills it is usually
at a considerable advance over the
price paid .he fa r.ier.
Cotton producers would orrert
this situation and at the same time
secure better prices for their cotton
by carrying the croo and selling it as
it is needed by the mills, says the
Bureau of Markets of the Depart¬
ment of Agriculture. This does not
mean that the services of merchants
or brokers in getting the crop from
the farmer to the mills are not need¬
ed, because frequently the farmer
is not able to contract directly to ad¬
vantage with, the mills and, of
course, the farmer would not be paid
for his crop at one time, as at pre¬
sent, but he could warehouse hi cot
ware house recently. The ..■lcreased
return fer his croo would more than
take carj of the warehousing expense

This is but one of many conditions
that die Bureau >f Marions is trying

TELLS HOW TO POISON BOLL
WEEVIL
The first complete discussion of
cotton boll-weevil control by the use
of poison has just been issued by the
Uniter States Department of Agri¬
culture, as Department Bulletin 875.
A good deal of information on the
use of powdered calcium arsenate
for controlling the boll weevil has
been previously issued in fragmen¬
tary form, from time to time. All of
this, together with recent improve¬
ments and developments, is brought
together in the new bulletin. Not
enough copies are available for un¬
limited distribution, but any person
directly interested in control of the
boll weevil may have a copy freen on
application to the United States De¬
partment of Agriculture, Washing¬
ton, D. C.

The Garden Lady’s Stories
(Written for the United States School Garden Army, Department of the
Interfbr, Bureau of Education.)
MIGHT-BE-YOU, AND THE* FRUIT OF GOLD.
An Old Story In A New Dre«*. •i
PART III.
She did everything that the direc¬
tions said; and in due time there
came up a beautiful vine which bore
lovely golden flowers and a fruit
that turned at length to a golden
color.
“What was the name of the
plant?” said the Garden Lady. “We
call it Pumpkin. They called in in
that country, Fruit of Gold.
Now, in a neighboring town, there
was a great Fair held every year, and
the Prince gave a prize, a sum of
money, to the person .who showed the
finest and most beautiful and deli¬
cious fruit. This year a timid, poor¬
looking girl in a faded cloak came
forward when the prize-winning num¬
ber was called. She took the prize
with a timid curtsey and disappeared
in the crowd. That afternoon, Might
Be-You slipped up to her attic room
with a precious bundle under her
cloak. It was a gown or satiny-silk.
(4 4 How did she get away and back,’
said Billy, the Boy-Next-Door, ‘with¬
out being caught by the hateful step¬
mother and her daughters?’
*44 ‘Oh!” said the Garden Lady,
“Why-a-You see, they had been in¬
vited to spend that day at a great
christening party for the child of one
of their rich friends in the country,
and they didn’t get back home till
night. When they came back, Might
Be-You had supper ready for them.”
The children and the Garden Lady
drew a deep breath of relief.
Tw weeks later the great ball
was given. The stepsisters kept
Might-Be-You running till she near¬
ly dropped, helping to get them
ready. And Might-Be-You did her
best to make them look as well as
possible. She was very, very happy;
for. hidden away in her little attic
room, where the sisters scorned to
come, was a lovely gown that she
had bought with the prize for the
Fruit-of-Gold, and had made for her¬
self by sewing late into the night. It
was of very airy, shimmering, satiny
silk, delicate as mist and gleaming as
moonlight. It was embroderied with
a border of flowers like those on the
god-mother’s hat, all flowers of the
rear from snow-drop to starry blue
asters. Might-Be-You never knew
just how she did it. She was sure that
the flowers grew over-night some
times.
14 Well, after the sisters had left,
all impatient and cross, as usual,
Might-Be-You, just as happy and

J. F. HERRING, at macon
sweet as ever, hastened to put on her
beautiful gown over the soft white
garments from the little old chest.
She had beautiful slippers and stock¬
ings, too. The stockings were her
mother’s; the slippers she had bought
at a great bargain from a gypsy ped¬
dler who had stopped one day at the
garden to rest on the way. She was
a queer, tall, yet not unhandsome
woman, with a sun-browned skin, a
Roman nose, thick black hair, and a
pair of keen hazel-gray eyes that
looked one through and through. She
wore a dress that had the rich, fading
colors of autumn leaves.
t i t These are magic slippers,’ she
said. ‘They are very old. They cAme
from the land of Egypt. A princess
wore them, and they brought her hap¬
piness. They are the finest spun
glass, and no one can wear them who
has not a pure and tender heart; for
they would fly into splinters and
blow away like bits of moonlight if
anyone unworthy should try to wear
them. You shall have them, though,
for a bunch of those flowers that
grow over there.’
“ ‘Those,’ said Might-Be-You, ‘ard
called Heart’s Ease. But you must
let me pay you some money, too.’
“ ‘No,’ said the gypsy. ‘I will take
nothing else.’ And as she smiled at
Might-Be-You, the maiden had the
queer feeling or remembering some¬
thing very pleasant, yet not knowing
what it was.
“ So, as I was saying, Might-Be
You put on these lovely things and,
throwing around her the old cloak
that had been her mother’s the
Cloak-of-Loving-Memories, she ran to
the palace and up the steps and past
the astonished footmen like a streak
of moonlight. Just on the .stroke of
twelve she stood at the ballroom
door!”
“ ‘Oh!” gasped the children. “What
happened then? Didn’t she go back
to rags?”
“Aha!” said the Garden Lady. “I
