[available, and one wishes to do so. lone may purchase straw or even ] clover or alfalfa hay for making ■compost, he says. If straw is used, it is best to place a layer of straw six or eight inches thick. Then wet .It down, add some fertilizer and isoTT and another layer of straw, until a heap about six feet high is .made. For each ton of straw about I 75 pounds of sulfate of amonta, 30 jpounds of superphosphate and 50 pounds of ground limestone are needed. A ton of straw will make about three tons of wet compost in about three months' time. If one does not care to compost, he may purchase rotted manure and use the lawn clippings and leaves for mulching without composting. Stephenson says. Leaf mold is also good. But pretty Howers and good gardens are difficult to produce on soils that get dry and hard easily, unless some form of humus material is used regularly. o ANNOUNCE PLAN FOR EXPOSITION international Live Stock Exposition To Be Held i November 1 Chicago. Oct. 36—America's annual continental congress of agriculture, the International Live Stock Exposition, will he held November 28 to December 5 in the new International Amphitheater at the Chicago Stock Yards. It will be the 37th renewal of this largest annual exhibition of pure bred farm animals and crops in the country, and according to the management, one of the biggest shows in its history. B. H. Heide, secretary-manager 1 of the Exposition, states that plans are now under way to house over 13.006 animals at the 1936 show. He reports that entries are pouring in from leading stockmen and farmers in nearly every state in the Union and province of Canada, listing their prize herds and flocks for the competitions that will feature more than 30 different breeds of draft and light horses, beef cattle, sheep ahd swine. Approximately 3100,000 will be paid in cash premiums to winning exhibitors in the various divisions of the-Exposition, says Heide. . . November 1, Deadline Entries for the live stock classes

Halloween decorations often <ie termine the success of the' party. (This autumn festival gives wide scope for originality in decoration, | Materials which have been traditional for centuries are still in fav or and would indeed be difficult to improve upon. What could be more attractive than pumpkins, cornstalks, autumn leaves, and other symbols of the harvest season which have been ■ used for Halloween decorations since America began to observe it? Decorations for the halloween party are called for all over the ! house, as the games of the evening may take guests from the basement to the attic. But the refreshment table will always be the high spot, and the popular hostess will make her table decorations as original and attractive as she possibly can. Here antumn flowers will be in harmony with the harvest at-j

Feeders have until November 11 to reserve space for exhibits in this event. I All of the purebred herds; steers, 'wethers, and pigs listed for individual competitions; and displays of farm crops in the International Grain and Hay Show will fill to capacity the seven acres of exhibit area m the huge new building constructed here two years ago as a permanent home for the live stock show. Growers from 30 states and five Canadian provinces exhibited last year in the International Grain and Hay Show, largest competitive farm crops show in the world. En- j tries will be accepted until Nov-' ember 20 for this department in which over a thousand cash prizes will be offered in 95 different class-1 es. HORSE SENSE Pumpkins and squashes do not require cool temperatures for storage. They may be placed in warm, dry quarters. Medium sized apples generally keep in good condition longer in storage than larger oversized up-1 pies of the same variety. Every farm business should have i a farm record or account book reg-, ularly kept and completed. Such ai record will save farm operators' many hours of time in making out, gross income tax reports and in planning the next and future years' business. Bedbugs in a y live for many months without food. Heifer calves that are to be kept tor use in the dairy herd should be sired by the best bulls and from the highest milk and butter-fat pro-| during cows. Studies on the durability of post timbers indicate that the spring of the year, when trees start to grow, is Hie poorest time to cut ..

PROTECTION IS BEST FOB BEES Winter Losses May Be Averted By Care Os Colony Now The disastrous losses among bees last year, due to the long hard winter, should be a reminder to give adequate protection to beecolonies this coming winter says , T. E. Birkett of the Missouri Coll ego of Agriculture. Many beekeepers lost a large part of their bees and have found it difficult to re-, place them. Every colony should have a vig orous queen. The qneen is the mother of all the bees in the colony, and as soon as she begins to decline in egg laying she must be replaced with a new one. A colony , with an old or a weak queen will quickly dwindle in population to the extent that there will be too, few bees to keep warm and main-1 ain themselves through the winter. If a colony has already dwindled to the extent that it is regarded s a weak colony, it is best not to attempt to requeen it but to unite ( with a strong colony. Two weak olonies should not be united. The •ause of their weakness is apt to >e that the queens have been weak nd to unite two such colonies vould be to unite two elements of veakness. The better plan is to mite each weak colony with a trong colony known to have a vigorous <iueen. Where uniting is to >e done as soon as possible now o that the united colony will beome adjusted before cold weathir. The method of uniting is simple, t. sheet or two of newspaper is laced over the strong colony un- ! ler the cover, a few small holes 1 ihe size of a shingle nail are punch ?d in the paper, the queen is re-1 noved from the weak colony and n the evening when all the bees
