| house foundut.ioii was dug aud the i house was being built. Only by the I ' addition of top soil and composted I manure can such a situation be remedied. Reseedin j After making sure that the soil is capable of producing grass, the i ' next step is to reseed the areas where the grass is thin A mixture : of two-thirds Kentucky bluegrass and one third red top makes a good combination for open and sunny areas. On shaded areas, where bluegrass may not thrive, use a mixture of equal parts of bluegrass. red top, and Poa trivalis. ' From one to two pounds of seed per 1,000 square feet of lawn surface is sufficient for reseeding. The seed should be raked into the soil so as to be well covered and asure germination. Next, the lawn should be fertilized. Grasses require a fertilizer that is high in nitrogen. A commercial fertilizer analyzing 10-6-4 has proved to la- well adapted. In the I event that this combination cannot be obtained, purchase equal parts of ammonium sulphate and a 2-12-6 analysis and mix them liefore applying. The fertilizer should be applied at the rate of from 10 I Ito 12 pounds per 1,000 square feet I lof lawn surface. Care should be i j taken to distribute the material evenly so as not to cause burning; '■ ■ 1 ■■ —

of the youug grass. Lime should uot be applied to. lawns, as It encourages dandelion, plantain, and other lawn weeds. Most city water contains considerable lime, and the usual sprinkling ! will supply all the lime needed for j grass growth. FERTILITY OF SOIL DEPLETED Little Erosion In County, But Other Forces Deplete Soil Although there is little erosion in Adams county in comparison with other other portions of the country because most of the land is level, there are other forces depleting the fertility of this land at ■a rate which will eventually bankrupt agriculture. Steady depletion of soil fertility through crop removal and leaching is being demonstrated in a striking manner on the Mono I plots. America’s oldest soil cxper- . imental plots on the University of I Illinois campus. Total phosphorus in an acre of surface soil on one of the plots de- | creased from 900 pounds in 1904 Ito 700 pounds in 1923. This is at I the rate of 200 pounds in the relai tively short time of 20 years. The Morrow plots are on level prairie kind not subject to erosion of any kind, and this particular plot was one where corn has been grown without soil treatment year after I year. This plot is representative of ! a large percenage of farms on prai- • rie soils. “Loss of phosphorus is, of course, , only part of the soil . Potaeh, lime and other constituents of fertility jalso are being mined out of these I soils. “One of the real soil conservat Ition questions of the day how ' long this land can be mined of its , fertility without any thought of I re-placement.

j pieion will have gone so far hat j these soils can not be expected to support farm families. These are . questions of vital concern to the public as well as to the farmer. “It is none too soon to adopt ' sound soil conservation methods even on this level land that is not subject to erosion. Proper tests will reveal when the danger line has been reached in fertility removal. Limestone, together with . any needed phosphate and potash, ; must be applied, legumes must be '; grown more extensively and better cropping systems in general must be adopted." ' o EXTRA CARE TO AID IN APPLES I , Extra Care Will Aid In Offsetting Light Apple Bloom r Urbana, 111., May I—Prospectsl—Prospects of i a light bloom on apple trees this > spring following the heavy crop ■ of last year necessitates extra E care to increase the set of fruit, i according to V. W. Kelley, hortlf cultural extension specialist, Coll- . ege of Agriculture, University of I Illinois. t i “Mature apple trees which bore • a heavy crop last year and those s injured by scab will need an appii--1 cation of quickly available nitror gen fertilizer this spring,” Kelley t said. ’ To increase the set the fertiliz-I ’’ er must be applied early enough j 1 for trees to take it up before | ' bloom occurs. While other fertiliz-1 ers need to be applied earlier, cal-, ■ cium or sodium nitrate is quickly 1 available and may be applied when 1 r the buds begin to show tip green. 1 For best results it is broadcast underneath the branches at the rate I i of one-fourth pound for each year '' of tree age.

CANADA THISTLE POINTS GIVEN Three Methods Os Eradication Have Proved To Be Effective “What is the most effective and most practical method of eradicat- ; ing Canada Thistle," is a common question. There are three methods i of eradication that have proved to be effective. All three methods have their place in the thistle con-1 trol program. The method to be l i used will depend upon the extent i I of the infestation to be eradicated.! , according to County Agent L. E. I Archbold. For the eradication ci email I patches, spraying with Sodium chlorate can be recommended. It i requires approximately three ' pounds of sodium chlorate per square rod to kill Canada thistle, making it rather expensive for ' large areas. The following recoinI mendations should be followed [ l carefully when spraying: (1) Ali low the thistle to grow to one foot or more in height. (21 Measure thej . area to be sprayed and calculate! the size of the patch in square 4 TAKETHIS COUPON jj|| Holthouse Drug Co. ■ And Get j.

rods. (3) Make the solution by dissolving one pound of sodium chlor. i er gallon of water. (4) Apply the material with a sprayer. (5) Apply two gallons of the solution per square rod. (61 Respray the area three or four weeks later, using one gallon of solution per square rod. Sodium chlorate creates a fire hazard when in contact with organic matter and must be banSted with care. It is dangerous to spill | sodium chlorate in buildings, automobiles or to allow clothing to beJ come saturated with the solution. For further information on spray- ! ing. ask, your county agent or ' write Purdue University for exI tension leaflet No. 172. Canada thistle can also be erad--1 icated by cultivation. The eultlivatton method is practical on arc|as to large to spray. When the ! cuiltivation method is used it must be kept in mind that the secret of the control involves keeping down I the leaf growth until the roots are ! starved. The infested area should be plowed in May. Following plowing cultivations shonld be stalled and continuedthroughout the suni-

The cultivator should have a broad cutting surface that will ] cut the plants off at a depth of four or five inches Your County Agent will furnish information regarding implements that are best : adapted for eradicating Canada thistles. The third method of eradicating Canada thistle involves the smothertag with alfalfa. The alfalfa method of eradication is ideal for the extensive infestations or where
