1 some exporting countries last year | and this contributed to the in- ' crease in exports from this couuI try. Need Less Wheat Indications are that the world market will actually take less ’ wheat than last year. World production for 1938 is expected to be the highest on record. Wheat production in some of the European ! wheat-importing countries has in:creased. Import rrtwrcnuwß and restrict- ■ I ive trade negotiations between I countries are being revived by I many countries which had relaxed ■ some of their trade barriers to . bring in more wheat last year. With a probable supply 400 i million bushels greater than the . United States usually consumes . and exports, the wheat surplus problem makes it necessary to ad- . just production to actual consumpi tion and exports. Wheat acreage . allotments enable all wheat growers to take part in the efforts to , bring wheat acreage more nearly I . into line with available markets • ■ for wheat. i' o COHhtCl CROPS ARE DIFFICULT Seasons Determine Best Cover Crops For Orchards — The choice of an orchard cover , I crop that will make a good growth : is not easy points out H. G. Swartwont of the Missouri College of I Agriculture. The generally inade- ■ quate moisture for germination and 1 growth in midsummer makes quite uncertain many of the crops that . might otherwise answer the purj pose well. Depending upon weather condl- : tions, a crop may make a good growth one year and be practically a total failure another. Also, when the crops are sown too early, or when dry periods follow too soon a heavy cover crop growth, they 1 come into competition with the fruit crops for moisture at a time when the fruit plants may need all the available moisture. Ou thin land the securing of a ; good growth of cover crops is more difficult, which is another point in ; favor of proper preparation of the i land before setting. For raspberries, blackberries, : and the like, such crops as oats, i millet, and soybeans are commoni ty recommended, with the seeding I done a- soon as possible after the ,4MCTuas«r«MM*drouthy conditions that so generally prevail at this time, poor stands , are too often obtained. A combination of winter vetch I and rye is sometimes used where drilling can be done to keep the seeds out of the fruit rows, but sometimes presents difficulties in w'orking under, especially in wet springs. Too late growth may rob the fruit plants .of needed summer moisture. The advantage of this | combination, however, is that it ( can be sown late in August or early in September.

SEPTEMBER IS CORD MONTH TO RESEED LAWNS Peonies May Be Moved This Month With Good Results September is the best month to sow lawn seed and to reseed an I old law. T. D. Gray, extension ’ landscape architect, College of Ag-1 riculture, West Virginia UniversiI ty, advises in his monthly letter I to gardeners and flower club members. He cautions that the soil should be well-prepared, graded, and fertilized with a 4-12-4 fertilizer before seeding a mixture of 75 percent Kentucky bluegrass, 20 to i 23 per cent red top and 2 to 5 per , cent white Dutch clover. Pourteen do’s and don't’s in all I are included in the monthly letter. Some of the hints are: "Most authorities agree that Sep- , tember is the best month to move j peonies. Lift the plants and separate into divisions with three to five eyes. They should be planted 1 so the crown is about two inches below the soil. "Those gardeners using the hill system with strawberries should keep the runners sniped off. "Lima beans should be gathered when they are young and tender.. Good products must be canned to i get good products to eat this win- • ter. "Golden gleam nasturtiums, ageratum, dwarf marigolds and other annuals should be potted and brought into the house In order to prolong the flowering season. "Japanese and Siberian iris can be transplanted at this time with full success. The German iris, should have been transplanted im-1 mediately after blooming. However, it may be done yet without injury to the plants. "Fall asters and chrysanthemums should be kept watered to keep up fall color in the garden or border. "Evergreens may be set any time now. They do much better if they are planted early enough to become adjusted before winter sets in. It would be appealing to try some of the Japanese yews in place of the over abundant Pfitzer's juniper.” FERTILE LAND - VrttLßf SivEfr Black Canyon, Idaho, 55,000 Acre Area Is Reclaimed Washington. Sept. 2 — ittJ.RF The bureau of reclamation next year will give away 55,000 virgin acres of farm land in the Black Canyon district of Idaho. A nearly complete chain of dams and irrigation canals, projected for more than 35 years, is transforming the sagebrush desert, long ago occupied but later abandoned, into a fertile countryside. As in frontier days, the cry of “free land" still raises hope for thousands, but the competition for the government grants is more severe than ever, according to reclamation officials. When 67 farms were opened to settlers near Klamath, Cal., a fewmonths ago, the land office was deluged with 3,600 applications. The result has been promulgation of proportionately severe selective examinations for eligibility for grants. When the bureau of reclamation posts its advertisements of “land—free," they might also put up signs reading, “No bums need apply.” There is opportunity. but it is no longer open to everyone. After 30 days, the applicants are questioned carefully by government "How much farming experience have you had'.’’ they ask. "Any experience with irrigation farming? Ever been in jail? Let’s see your references." FinSlly, applicants with capital, have much better chances. Capital up to $2,000 is counted as a major qualificationThe government naturally assumes that the people who pass all these tests will make more of the opportunities of the land than those who can't. cultivation is stopped the latter part of this summer.

WAXED PAPER HELP TO MEAT Methods Os Preserving Meats Told By Missouri Woman Most meat keeps best if wrapped loosely in waxed O’- parchment ' paper and stored in a refrigerator at a temperature of 47 degrees F. or lower says Miss Flora Carl of the Missouri College of Agriculture in offering timely suggestions on the preservation of foods in hot j weather. Raw beefsteak and iamb and pork chops keep nest and longest if they are covered in paraffin paper. Steaks and chops left uncovered in the refrigerator dry out and acquire a hard, dry, dark, leathery surface after about a day, while those stored in a covered dish soon lamb spoils faster than beef or, pork, it needs a temperature of at least 45 degrees F. iu the refrigerator. Uncooked roasts keep only about two days, even in a good home refrigerator. The longer the roasts are stored, the more color and juice they lose. Hamburger or oth-1 er ground raw meat keeps best if mixed with salt and other season-1 ings, wrapped in waxbd paper, and placed on the coldest shelf of the j refrigerator. Ground meat spoils faster than other meat, and in the i ordinary home refrigerator cannot

These meat mixtures will I not usually keep over 2 days. o Uncle Jim Says “Although we farmers are con- ' sidered as producers, we do make I good consumers. I learned today i that about three times as many automobiles were sold in farm ’ states in 1937 as were sold in 1932.

CROPS DECIDE BEST TIME TO PLOW SOYBEANS Proceeding Corn, Soybeans Should Be Turned Under Late Urbana, 111., Sept. 2 — The best time for plowing under soybeans depends upon the crop that is to follow and the extent to which the land is subject to erosion, accord- | ing to O. 11. Sears, associate chief In soil biology, College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. However, Sears explains that if | wheat is to follow the soybeans, it Th best to do the plowing early enough in September to Insure a compact seed bed. Wheat may lodge on rich soils after a soybean green manure crop, but superphosphate fertilization has a tendency to prevent such lodging. Corn Rfter Soybeans When corn is to follow the soybean green manure crop, it is advisable to plow under the beans as late in the fall as possible. | Plowing under beans in August to i be followed by a corn crop results | iu large losses of nitrogen. When i the weather is warm and there is ( ample moisture in the ground, the i soybeans quickly decay, and the nitrogen in the beans is readily changed into a form which easily washes out in the drainage water, i As soon as cool weather arrives, the decaying process is slowed : down, and most of the nitrogen in t the soybeans remains in a form s which does not leach out. Land Erosion On land subject to serious ero--1 sion, it is recommended that soy--1 beans be plowed uqder in the spring. Some of the leaves will be lost where the beans are allowed to remain on the land during the winter, but this loss would be less than that which might occur from, I washing or erosion. Two possible practices were rec-1 ' ommended for tracts where soy- ! beans are plowed under in August. One is to seed a small grain crop such as oats or rye. The grain crops will feed on the available nitrogen and prevent it from leaching. Winter oats will winter kill and decompose next spring. Rye will need to be plowed under as early as possible next, spring. The second practice is to spread straw at the rate of two tons an acre on the plowed land. Leachings from the straw stimulate bac-j nitrogen. As these bacteria die ni-1 trogen once more beedmes usable 3 i by the crop to be grown next year. r o z 500 Sheets B'/ 2 xll, 20-lb, 1 White Automatic Mimeograph Bond $1.05. 500 Sheets B'/j» 11, lti-Ib.

SUB-SOILIS GREAT FACTOR Surface May Be Same Yet Lower Stratum Differ Much Urbana, 111., Sept. 2 — A knowledge of sub-soil and other substrata as well as surface characteristics of a soil is needed in the management of a successful cropping system, It Is indicated in a soil report which has just been Issued by the College oFAgriculture, UniI verslty of Illinois. It frequently nappens that the surface stratum of one soil type i is no different from that of an-1 %'her, and yet the two types may | Ibe widely different in character ■ as well as in agricultural value, it | i is explained. These differences can often be. associated with features of the soil I below the surface so that the diff- I erentiations of types can not be I based on characteristics of the surface layer alone. To outline a complete soil-im-provement and management program for a field or farm, however, it is necessary to know not only what soil types are involved but also what cropping and management practices have been followed in the past as well as what type of farming Is intended to be followed in the future. o The eight most durable post tim-1 bers are: hedge, black locust, red’ cedar, mulberry, northern wrfite; cedar, catalpa. chestnut, and white oak. Too many people these days are dolling up on a dollar down. In a quart of milk which contains 100 million bacteria per cc.. all the bacteria present in the en-
