FARM NOTES BY THE COUNTY AGENT Interesting .to cane syrup produc--ers -is the announcement from the de partment of agriculture at Urashing tcn that a, process has beeri worked opt by the bureau of chenxlstry for making,, syrup that will not ferment or turn to sugar.' We have, a letter from the . chief chemist, ' e:tr laining the process and offering: to give dem onstrations of tHe.v method; to the farmers of this county if they are in terested As . soon tas definite plans for these demonstrations" can be worked out, we will i advertise s the meeting places and date3. V The great trouble-with syrup has been that ivhen made thin enough not t, crystaHize, it would ferment in summer and when made thick so as to prevent fermentation fit . would turn to sugar. Either trouble is an obstacle to handling syrup in bulk and has made necessary the practice of using air-tight containers with pro per sterilization. The new m thod involves the use of a little extract of yeast when the cane juice is boiled down half way to syrup arid leaving it to stand unfinished, for twelve hours when ie cooking hi resumed and carried 4 on m the regniar way. i The extra expense is very small, but extra barrels or tanws wilf be requir- cd, and a second kettle or. pan where a large' amount of syrup js to be made.' ! ---'-. . - ,Now is the time to select the hens for laying the eggs from which to raise pullets next year. The hens that have been laying all summer and fall and have not yet fully moult ed are the good layers. They haven't shed their feathers because they have been laying. Those hens, that molted along from July to September are the poor layers. They shed o:f then -because they stopped laying and had nothing else to do. They will never be pVofitable egg ' producers and should be eaten. or sold. Mark the good laying hens so they will be known - in the spring, and save eggs from them to raise pullets, : .- - Scuppernong grape vines should be pruned as ; soon as the leaves have fallen for the reason that there will be less bleeding then than at any other time of the year. Thinning cat the vines improves the crop of grapes and tends to lengthen the life of the plant If-a larger vine is Wanted, the arbor should be added" to as fast as the limbs grow -out. If the young branches are allowed to hang down, the vine is checked in its growth and will never attain much site. Wm. A. ijesscms, . County Agent.
