During tho potato season on tho eastern end of Long Island overy hamlet, every About 85 Dor cent of tb4 total po- tato crop produced on Long Island Is marketed and- consumed in the Greater Now York Are* and la near- by cities in New Jersey, But Long Island potatoes are stripped to for- eign ports as well, and last year tboro wore several direct shipments from tbo Island to Panama. Most of the crop, since It li marketed In the New York metropolitan area, Is shipped by motor truck, but a sub- stantial part also goes by rail.

At that time representatives from sports- men's organizations throughout the State gathered to help review a petition seeking a curtailed grouse and muskrat season. Commissioner Osborn also an- nounced that the cording muskrat season would be shortened to in- clude only the last two months of the present season, except in the counties of Essex and Washington in which there would be no change, The grouse season, which re- mains unchanged, extends from noon October 18th through No- vember 15th except on Long Is- land where the season opens No- vember 1st and extends through December 31st. The new muskrat season, effective for one year, will open In most counties February 1, (the old date was December 1st), and will end March 31st with a number of exceptions concerning which press announcements will be relcused later. Agrigraphs Uncle Ab says the biggest thing In cooperation is operation. About two-thirds of the total buckwheat crop of the United States is In New York and Penn- sylvania. A better job results when plows are adjusted for late summer or curly lull plowing when the ground is packed tight and hard. Enloring a farm silo while it is being filled, or shortly after, is dungcrous, because of the possible presence of suffocaUng gases. When the first eggs are found, ull pullets that show much comb development should be housed. Those slower to mature should re- main on range until they reach ihe iame development.

Do not ask more than one question in one letter or on one post card. Ask as many questions as you like, but make eaeh one a separate communication. Born Weeds? B. B. S. &sks: \Is there any use in burning weeds that have gone to seed?\ ^ x M A. J. Pratt of the department of vegetable crops answers: \There Is little use in burning weeds that have gone to seed. \By the time the weeds are dry enough to burn, the seeds have mostly fallen to the ground and are not killed by the fire, which, however, does destroy the humus In the leaves and stems of the weeds. \A crop of weeds that has gone to seed may be mowed and re- moved to a compost pile to decay. The ground may then be harrowed to start germination of many seeds or weeds so they will be killed by further harrowing or by winter; or the weeds may be disc- ed down and the tops allowed to decay on the field where the seeds start to germinate.\ What Kind of Light? P. L. asks: \What kind of light Is satisfactory to use In the poul- try house to produce more eggs at this season?\ Professor L. M. Hurd ol the poultry department replies: \Any source of light is satisfactory. El- ectricity, natural or artificial gas, and kerosene or gasoline lanterns have been used, but electricity in the ideal kind of light since it re- quires little labor, the fire hazard is reduced and it is easily con- trolled by automatic switches. \If electricity is used, the lamps should be six feet from the floor, and have reflectors sJxteen inches In diameter, conical in shape and four inches high. Arrangement of lamps will depend largely on the system of feeding.\ Hunter Adds to Conscience Fund Conservation Commissioner Lith- gow Osborne believes that he has discovered the tenderest consci- ence In New York State. He has recently received an unsigned let- ter from Utlca, enclosing a ten dollar bill. The note said that the writer Intended this money for the \Conscience Fund\ because he felt guilty on account of having once killed a hen pheasant. It is against the law in this state to shoot hen pheasants but the average sports- man who does so has few qualms of conscience on the subject. This is the first time anyone has ever contributed to the State Conscience fund for a minor violation of the fish and game laws.

Johnny Green, who headlined nis own full hour musical show during the summer, has signed a contract to write musical scores for a movie company. Green will continue his radio activities. The star of \The Song Shop,\ new OBS Friday evening musical show, is never called anything but Kitty KITTY CARLISLE Carlisle, although her real name Is Katherlne. It's like this: In her youth, she attended a school at Lausanne, Switzerland. So many \Katharines\ were registered, a switch was necessary. She chose Kitty in preference to Kate, Kath- leen, or Katrlnka. In addition to singing In movies with Blng Crosby, she was starred In the largest musi- cal show in America, \'White Horse Inn.\ Don Voorheea is one orchestra leader who does not object to radio studio audiences. Don was musical director of many Broadway shows before entering radio and considers spectators helpful rather than det- rimental Only 17 years old and already a radio star is Wynn Murray, who has been signed as a regular m^~ ' of the Sunday Night Party cast. From a Scranton, Ptv, choir she went Into the east of the Broadway hit, \Babes In Arms.\ From \Babe* in Arms- to Sunday Night Party was the next step. People on the show are pretty confused, too, be- cause there's a fellow named Ian Murray who directs the chorus. As a matter of tact, radio Is getting crowded with Murrays. Now comes news that when Ozzie Nelson and HARRIET BILLIARD Harriet Hilllard return to the air on Sunday nights early In October, Peg Murray, of \Seeing Stare\ fame, will be with them. The program will adapt Murray's newspaper feature to air entertainment, dramatizing the colorful events In the lives of celebrities of radio, stage and screen. These tall tales from the Arkansas hills which Bob Burns tells to the radio audience every week are first submitted to a \board of directors.\ Every yarn must receive the ap- proval of the \board\ and by ap- proval Bob means that It must get laughs. This unusual body consists of his wife, his son, 15-year-old Bob, Jr., the cook and the corner traffic policeman. More and more characterization Is the basis for the radio comedy. Witness the lat- est comedy sen- sation of the Rudy Vsllee Hour, Tommy Biggs and Betty Lou.
