i are actually much larger aud the I plants more vigorous than following a wet season. Following the drouth of 1930,1 ; well over a hundred samples of al-| salsa roots were dug tn all parts I ' of the State, and the average yield per acre of dry roots was fully a I -half ton above the usual average. I , The same situation lias been veri tied by samples dug in other dryj i years, including 1936. Similar quantity data have noli I been obtained from the weed roots.but their liehaviour has been iden-' | tical with that of the alfalfa. Con -| I sequently, unusually good crops of alfalfa hay may lie expected next i year from those fields which were established iu 1935 or earlier; unhappily. however, farmers may also look forward to having more i vigorous Canada thistle and field ' bindweed to fight. Because of this characteristic, it I is less injurious to cut or pasture alfalfa close and frequently In a I dry season than in a wet one. Al- ! so, it is particularly desirable to: | destroy the top growth of pereni ntal weeds of the root-storing type (in dry weather even though it apI pears small and not to be growing i much. A comparatively small growth then may invigorate the roots more than a much larger growth iu a wet season. It is well known that letting CanI ada thistles grow for a while in the ! spring weakens their root systems. 'ln a wet season it may be true .that they will be as much exhaust|ed by permitting them to grow as| j late as June 1, or possibly later, I I as h> cutting or hoeing them. In a ’ j dry May the thistles will begin to store reserves in the roots early in the month and should be destroyed early. Q_- _ Niblick & Co. presents new Hirshmaur Coats for Fall at $19.95. j

NEW BULLETIN TELLS METHODS — Purdue Bulletin Tells About Methods Os Storing Seed Corn Lafayette, Ind . Oct. 2 —How ■ seed corn selected this fall from I Indiana's drouth affected crop may I be properly and safely stored is told clearly in an eight page bulletin Just published by the agricultural extension department of Purdue University, which la now avariable for the use of tanners throughout Iloosierlaud. The publication, which is en- : titled “Seed Corn Storage,” was : written by K. E. Beeson, exten slon agronomist, and S. A. Anderson, extension agricultural engineer, both of Purdue. It is well illustrated with pictures of various types of storage bouses and facilities. As a summary, the specialists gave the following points as es-| sentials for consideration for proper storage: First, selection of the seed from the field before low temperatures have damaged the germ. Second, protection of the harvested seed from freezing tern peratures until it has dried down' to not more than 14 per c. ut mois-; ture. Third, rapid drying of the 1 seed corn to the 14 per cent mois I ture content. And, fourth, storage ! of corn under such conditions that lit is not subject to damage from moisture, storage molds and rots, insects and rodents. “Losses due to slow drying and consequent high moistnre content i during early sub-freezing temper- ’ attires and cold waves.” the spe- : cialists state in the new bulletin, j “such as occurred in the winter of 1935-36, can be avoided by storage conditions that make for quick drying of corn in the fall and protection against low temperatures.” Copies ot the new bulletin may be obtained by makilig a request directly to the local agricultural agent, or by writing to the agricultural extension department, Purdue University, Lafayette, Ind., requesting extension bulletin on "Seed Corn Storage.” o HESSIAN FLY CHECKED SOME Dry Weather During August Aided Some In Checking Pests Washington, Oct. 2—The hot, dry weather that stimulated grasshoppers u> unusual activity in August checked somewhat the development of the Hessian fly—another important insect pest of grains and forage crops. Recent surveys by the bureau of entomology and plant quarantine, U. S. department of agriculture, show danger of serious Hessian fly infestations this fall only in an east central area extending from the southwestern corner of Ohio, across the southern half of Indiana and the southern two-thirds of Illinois, with moderate infestations extending into east central Missouri. Farmers in these regions have been warned to observe safe sowing dates, to plow under wheat stubble well before seeding time, and to dif.troy volunteer wheat whenever possible. The last two measures, entomologists point out, are particularly feasible this year, because drougfit has killed out, clover stands iu many wheat stubble fields. The grasshopper situation continued serious in the Great Plains all through August. Where other vegetation had been destroyed, the hoppers defoliated shade and fruit' trees.

The corn earworm, however, was notably scarce nearly everywhere except In the Great Basin, Utah, where it damaged tomatoes, as well as corn. for the codling moth in the East August was a favorable month Central States. Generally he&vM outbreaks were reported from NewYork, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee. TREAT NOW TO STOP PARASITE Treatment Should Be Made Now To Stop Poultry Parasites Lafayette, Ind., Oct. 2—During the summer, poultry parasites increase rapidly and unless measures have been taken to hold them in control these pests may reach maximum numbers by fall. It is, therefore, highly important, according to J. J. Davis, head of the Deportment of Entomology of the Purdue University Agricultural l Experiment Station, to make necessary treatments that the birds ; be free from parasites before cold I weather and likewise that everyI thing be done to insure sanitation and freedom from mites and lice j in the poultry houses. i Lice live continuously on the . birds and. therefore, it is necesi sary to treat the birds individualj!y or fumigate the house, to se- \ cure control. One of the best and most generally used treatment is dipping in a bath using sodidm fluoride as the insecticide. During | cold weather the sodium fluoride, j a powder, is used dry by the wellI known “pinch’’ method. The applijeation of nicotine sulphate to the [roosts has also found favor With I many poultry men as au effective fumigapt. Care must Im taken in 1 its use and she directions accompanying the insecticide should be carefully followed. For the feather mite, which remains constantly on the birds, the sulphur-soap dip is recommended. However, in the case of the comI mon poultry mite, sometimes called the red mite or roost mite, the I individuals leave the birds during I the day and seek hiding places such as cracks and crevices of the 'J buildings. Therefore, treatment of ! the building is recommended, usi ing half and half carbolineum and kerosene, being careful to spray | thoroughly in the cracks and crevI ices. Another pest which frequently becomes well established in poultry houses is the common bed bug. While the same treatment as for the poultry mite is fairly effective, Purdue men have gotten best results with a mixture of 4 ounces of IT. S. P. Cresol, 1 ounce of oil ot niirbane, and 123 ounces of kerosene, according to Professor Davis. Those desiring the details of treatments should consult their county agricultural agent. —— r o Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

WEANING TIME IS IMPORTANT Weaning Time Is Most Trying Period In Life Os Colt Weaning lime is the most trying period in a colt's life and it is necessary tnat every effort should be made to give it a proper start at j this time, say* H. C. Moffett of the i Missouri College of Agriculture. I The colt should be kept growing i and developing as much as poss- | ible during his first year. Several grain mixtures are sat I isfactory for feeding. Mixtures ot 3 parts each ot oats, bran, aud com, by weight, with 1 part linseed oil meal, or 4 parts oats and 1 part bran, or equal parts corn and oats are satisfactory. Some horsemen feed a legume hay one time each day. and some other rpughage the same feeding. When the separation of the mare and colt takes place It should Ire permanent, since the weaning proi cess is prolonged if the mare is ' taken back to the colt after inter--1 vais, and some digestive disturbances may result. Best results are usually obtained it it is possible to take the mares out of sight and hearing. If possible, the colt should be taken away in the morning rather than at night, the mare put to work or turned" out for exerI else, and her teed reduced. At this time some trouble may |be experienced with swelling ot I the mare's udder. If necessary the : mare may be milked out clean in 1 12 hour* and a mixture ot spirita i of camphor 1 part and mineral oil 16 parts applied to the udder. If absolutely necessary, milk clean ' again in 24 hours and again in 43 By this time the udder should be out of danger, but if it is uot, con-

tinue to milk at intervals. Mares and colts which are running in the pasture and not accustomed to being in the stable should lie brought in a few days ■ before weaning begins so that they I will become accustomed to tluj I stall. URGE STRAW USE AS FERTILIZER Straw, Waste Materials May Be Used For Artificial Manure The well recognized value of barnyard manure for soil improve[ment and its decreased supply in i this motorized age have aroused i much interest in the possibilities of | producing artificial manure from I straw and waste materials on the I farm, says W. A. Albrecht of the I Missouri College of Agriculture. Since the combine thresher leaves on the land straw that is often turned tinder with detrimental effects on the crops following, and since accumulated straw piles of many seasons often occupy land while they rot so slowly as to waste their fertility iu wheat farming regions, artificial manure mak-

ing is a possible means of getting, this much needed organic matter and plant food content back Into the soil. Experimental studies have helped to learn the requisites of this process, to reduce ft* labortousness, and to test the application of it under practical farm conditions. The fact that straw is deficient in nitrogen ax a bacterial ration is largely responsible for the disas troue effects on crops following closely on straw turned under. The straw in the soil begins its declly by serving as the carbon source' for the microorganisms, but because of its nitrogen deficiencies they draw the soluble nitrogen from the soil. The incorporation of this. into bacterial products makes it insoluble and thus reduces the sol-! üble nitrogen supply in the soil to such a low level that crops suffer and fail. The composing of straw in the artificial making of manure escapes this danger by supplying j thPschemical nitrogen to balance: the straw for bacterial use before it is mixed with the soil. Straw, leaves, cotton hull*, and cornstalks, both chopped and unchopped, have been used in making artificial manure. Many forms j of vegetable matter as weeds, ina-1 ture sweet clover, spoiled hays, ac-' cumulated garden refuse, and numerous other kinds of material win 1 serve. Almost any vegetable matter, whether green or dry. can be rotted to produce artificial manure. There are many forms of I farm vegetable matter left to be [ scattered and their fertility value i is disipated, when they might well. be collected into piles, treated with | chemicals and water, or left for J the rainfall, to bring about their I decay. The making of such wastes into artificial manure will help in restoring soil fertility and maintaining the soil organic matter.
