OF INTEREST TO FARMERS

CLEAN DITCHES HALT FLOODING LAFAYETTE, Ind. ' Flooded cornfields after late spring rains have meant disaster for the crop too often in past seasons, according to Gerald A. Karstens, Purdue University extension agricultural engineering. In order to minimize flooding, he advises that ope drainage

is not expensive if done annually, says Karstens. He points out that frequently if bruih is allowed to grow up in ditches it slows down the velocity of the water. This condition will decrease the volumn of water that can flow and will cause the channel to fill with silt in a very short time. Clean-out

operations are then required

with . a dragline. The cost

ing substances are on the market today. The amateur gardener can hardly be blamed if ' he is confused by some of the claims mads for these products, says. Dr. F. y. Quackenbush, Indiana state chemist and head of the Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Purdue University.

The. horticulturist explain that the lack of production in many small orchards is due to insufficient spraying and not alone due to walnut trees. Commercial grow

This second group produced 45 percent of their total production during the first 100 days, compared with 43 percent by the cows in group one. The production of the two groups was about the same for the second 100-day period, but for the third 100-day period, the cows in group two produced at the rate of 22 per-
