It is too much to ask of a hnrd working bee that it hang outside the hive during its hours of Past because tlie Interior of the hive is too hot and poorly ventilated. "One remedy is to tip up the front of the hive one inch from the base board, using a taper ing splinter or wedge under each side," says A. C. Burrell, extension entomologist of the Missouri College of Agriculture. "Or buy a reversible bottom board, which furnishes either narrow or wide entrance as desired. We do not advise, setting the supers back a half-Inch as this artificial ven tllatiom interferes with the fnnimr bees. Keep your bees in a good shady location ror the hot summer months Different farmers have different ways and means of caring for their barnyard manures, but suffice it to say, do not let it become exposed to the rain nor the sun ; if possible, keep it piled up in order to prevent the es cape of gases whicn are rich in plant food ; as- often as practicable, haul the manure to the fields, scatter and Im mediately plow it under. LIFE OF STAND LENGTHENED rowing a field 6Talfaifa ordinarily does not increase the yield; neither does it prolong the life of the stand to any noticeable extent. The modified Recommended That Crop Be Given Time to Reach Height of 6 to 8 Inches Before Cold Weather Shuts Off the Sap Flow. (Prepared by the United State Department ot Agriculture.) Delaying the cutting of alfalfa until it is nearly in full bloom has been found a better practice than mowing it soon after blooming starts. Trials made by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture and state experi ment stations indicate that the yields are larger over a period of years, and that the life of the stand is prolonged by delaying harvesting until the plants are nearly in full bloom. Hay made when the plants are nearly in full bloom possibly is not quite so palatable, but this is offset by the gain in quantity of hay. The fields that were cut prior to or at the be ginning of blooming showed a ten dency to die out sooner. Cutting a crop late in the fall so that not enough growth was left for protection In the winter also had much to do with thin ning stands. The department recom mends that alfalfa be given time to reach a height of six to eight inches before cold weather shuts off the sap flow. Broadcasting Best Plan. In the past the growing of alfalfa In rows In dry regions has been recom mended, by experirental evidence gathered by the department in the last few years shows that, with the exception of a few rare varieties the seed of which sells for a high price, this method is seldom practical. Where the rainfall is not sufficient to grow alfalfa in broadcast stands it cannot usually be grown profitably In rows. A slightly larger yield may be pro duced, but not enough to pay for the added expense. Also, the hay harvested on this cultivated ground is apt to be dirty and it Is hard to cut and load. Value of Cultivation. Accumulating experience also has exploded some old notions about the value of cultivation of broadcast stands. It has been" found that har- Wit 7l S4 Cutting Alfalfa. spring-tooth harrow does not Injure the plants, but the disk often kills many and reduces the stand. Some sort of cultivation appears advisable in irrigated regions where the water carries a great deal of silt or where the soil has been compacted by the tramping of cattle pastured on the alfalfa. The department believes there Is usually little to be gained by culti vating broadcast fields when the stand Is good. If weeds and grass work in and reduce the stand it is better to plow up the field and put in another crop for a year or two. It is hard to thicken a thin stand by cultivating it and sowing more seed; in fact, it is a -waste of time, the department believes. LIME INFLUENCE IS LASTING Where Applied in Liberal Quantities Soli Shows Beneficial Effects for Years. . It has been observed that where lime has been applied in fairly liberal quantities to soil, the soil shows the beneficial effects for a number of years afterward. In long-time tests made by the Ohio experiment station the crop yields during the last six years of a 13-year period were much larger than during the first seven years.
