Seed of wilt resistant var(eli.s

Corn.
The wren go of adaptable corn
varieties in certain sect inns of the

Pens mid Hnrley.
Attention is ill reeled to the, re
sultfl of the Kxperlment Station at
I'nion wit h peas and barley for
stlatfc. This crop lias certain ad
vantages over corn or sunflowers
and is recommended for trials by
fanners. 'archil observations
should be noted on the comparative
yield of these crops and llu effect
of legumes, especially pens, on the
fertility of the soil.
Potatoes,
Kvery farmer should ralno

Beans are not recommended for
Keneral planting. In some loca
tions thn crop may possibly be
profitable. Farmers interested In
the crop are urged to plant small
acreages until lh value of the
crop la ascertained for each local
ity In the county. The crop will
likely do best on warm soils and in
localities where late spring and
early fall frosts are not preva
lent. Hoy beans are not recom
ir.ended at all.
! Vrn find Vvoh l-'lrir Tor Pasture
The use of corn and peas for
pasture for bogs and sheep Is
strongly recommended for trial by
farmers. Hogging down corn and
pasturing pens with hogs ami sheep
will likely prove more profitable
than the usual method of handling
these crops because of (he saving
of harvest expenses.

We consider it impractical to

2. Recommendations:
A. Supplant all other bay with

It. (irimm alfalfa or one of the
other hardy alfalfa such as Hal

used Instead of common, no mat
ter what the difference In price of

f The nlfalfa weevil Is a very
serious pent but experience In oth-
r sections shows that It floes not
stop the growing of alfalfa. Al
falfa growers t here fore must not
expect to go out of the u I fa It' a
business when the weevil appears
in tills county as It ts sure to do
soniii time.
Sure control can be secured by
spraying the fields with a solution
of 2 pounds of Calcium Arsenate
to UMi gallons of water. Sumo
growers practice keeping the ir
rigation water off the fields until
,after the first cutting, and Wvyn
I working up a dust mulch. This In
''effective In some cases but dim
inishes the yields of alfalfa ma
terially. j !. Alfalfa nee'd growing Is not
recommended except In nn cxperl
i mental way. Jt is believed that the
! average yields are so low here that
other districts U the state can
'grow it more cconotnlcllv.

alkali and poorly drained soil
sweet clover be given a thorough
trial for a pasture and bay crop,
l-'or pasture purposes, the y el lew
sweet clover is superior to t he

in the wheat growing section of
the county we believe that sweet
clover will he the most profitable.
This is not a permanent crop but

years." He has some suggestions
to make for the Hollywood and
Long Island producers. If the
suggestions go unheeded, Mr

Germany beat America in the mo

Here is Mr. Southeombc's advice
to the movii magnates of America:
"1. Great Britain Is tired of
scenes in which hotel waiters am
shot dead because the eggs are
boiled too hard.
-2. In Europe no right-thinking
man ever goes out In a straw hat
wilh evening dress.
'3. We are tired of pictures
'.showing a man hanging on a seaf-

'Sweet clover and alfalfa are thoi
