different methods of soil improvement,
will be of great value. A careful study
of these points with a thorough con
sideration of the discussion of general
principles and the description of indi

necessary and useful information for
the practical improvement and per
manent preservation of the productive

, Fumigate For Weevils
Dried beans and peas inentded for
storage need fumigation to prevent
weevil injury Infestation by weevils
is so general that the treatment is al
ways advisable. Use carbon " bi-sul-phide,
two tablespoonfuls to five gal
lons of seed, or at the rate of one
pound to 25 bushels. Place the seed
in fairly air-tight containers and pour
the liquid over the surface,- or place
the liquid in shallow trays on top of
the seed to be treated. Close the con
tainer and allow the fumes to act for
24 hours. The treatment does not in
jure the material for seed or for food
purposes. '

TO DESTROY CANADA THISTLE
First Step in Eradication- Is to Pro
vent Seed Development Disk
in Early Fall.- -
The Canada thistle, also known as
the cursed thistle, is one of the worst
weed pests. It spreads by Its root sys
tems as well as by seed. Its eradica
tion entails a large amount or work.
The first step in' eradication, say
university farm men, is to prevent
seed development. After the grain
has been cut- the infested laad should
be plowed deep enough to bring the
roots of Jthe" thistle to "the surface.
Disking the surface cultivation in the
early fall will prevent the growth of

Vegetable Quality Wanted
Those who sell . vegetables to the
public, as for example, the retail gro
cer, find there is a distinct prefer
ence among the buying public for cer
tain varieties, but above all, for quali
ty produce, which has the best flavor,
correct,size, color, shape and solidity,
A good product, well grown is often
times half sold.
Soil Survey Reports In Press.
" Soil survey reports for Washington,
Multnomah and- Josephine counties
have gone to press and should be avail
able by January 1. A study of the soil
map and experiment station data con
cerning the plant food content of the
Hannchen barley, the best spring
variety, gained much in acreage in
1922 and most producers were well
pleased with its yield and quality.
Hannchen first showed promise in Ore
gon in 1909, when it was successful, at
the experiment station.
Plenty of grit should be provided for
the pullets in the, laying quarters.
Fowls not provided with grit soon
show a loss of appetite and begin to
lose weight. Proper use cannot be
made of the feed without grit to grind
it.
The most progressive potato grow
ers, who expect to certify or to have
good seed, are sorting carefully before
the potatoes go into storage." This
takes less storage space and removes
the potatoes likely to start spoilage in
the pit.
No farmer should try to test out cop
per carbonate dust for wheat smut
control, unless he has rigged up an ef
ficient dusting machine such as a clos
ed drum, fitted with projecting cleats
on the inside, which will pick up the
grain and powder as the drum is ro
tated, letting it fall back again thus
insuring a perfect coating. Such a ma
chine should be revolved for two min
utes, which will be sufficient to coat
every kernel thoroughly. The stand
ard proportion is two ounces of high
grade copper carbonate powder to a
bushel of wheat.

the plants, while plowing later in the
fall will expose the roots to the action
of frosts. -
If the plant persists after all this
punishment, as it probably will, a
three-year rotation of grain, clover and
corn or some other cultivated crop will
furnish the knockout blow. Reinforce
ment can be prevented by a repetition
of the rotation.
- Filling The Silo
By F. L. Ballard.
Silo filling time is at hand. Prelim
inary arrangements include getting the
silo and silage cutter In proper con
dition. All bolts in silage cutter
should be tightened and the knives
sharpened. In the case of a stave silo
the hoops should be adjusted, as doubt
less they have become loosened during
the summer season. If the silo is of
concrete and the inside is rough it
may be well to paint or paraffin.
One of the most important factors in
silage production lies in the proper
stage of cutting the crop. Immature
crops contain a high percentage of
sugar and make silage of poor quality.
Crops standing in the field until they
are brown and dry require the addi
tion of much water to replace the
natural plant juices. Silage from such
crops does not pack well. The best
time for cutting corn is when the ears
are well dented and are beginning to
glaze. Sunflowers should be at least
60 to 70 per cent in blossom. - Oats
and peas should be cut when the oats

are in stiff dough stage and when the
peapods first begin to turn'yellow.
It is important that the silage cutter
cut in uniform lengths, or poor silage
will result Farmers purchasing a sil
age cutter should consider the possi
bility of uing it for chopping hay also,
as this practice is found, profitable
when hay is high in price. The crop
should be cut into pieces of uniform
lengths, three-fourths . of an inch or
less. It la much better to cut silage
too fine than to have it too coarse
On the average one-half inch is a most
Satisfactory cut, If the silage, will ex
ude moisture freely when a double
handful as squeezed tightly it Is suffi
ciently moist. If the water runs out in
a stream there is too much moisture
and a few loads of oat or wheat hay
should be run in. In case more mois
ture is needed, water should be added.
If a hose is not available it is best
to set a barrel high enough so that
water may run from it to the blower.
One of the most important points in
silage making is proper packing Con
tinual tramping must be given the sil
age as it . comes from the blower.
Otherwise air centers the food mass
and spoilage results. With large cut
ters it is often necessary for three to
six men to be actively tramping in the
silo. The middle of the silage mass
should be kept lower than the edges
and most of the tramping done on the
edges.
' It is best not to feed silage for two
or three weeks after filling, as it re
quires about this time for proper fer
mentation. v

MANY USERS OF TELESCOPE
Dealers. Report Practically a Steady
Demand for Glasses In All
Months of the Year.
Wo sell telescopes all the year
round, but the demand for them is
'greater in summer than In other sea
sons," said the salesman in a New
York optician's shop. "Perhaps that
Is because itis easier to remain out
doors and study the stars on a sum
mer night than it is when the weather
Is colder.
"Also, in summer people buy tele
scopes for other purposes than to
study the stars. Folks on the sea
snore get them to look at passing ves
sels, at the clouds and other things.
We sell some also to those who live
In the mountains and use the tele
scope for lookout purposes. But of
course, the greater number of tele
scopes, especially the high-power
glasses, are bought' for" the study of
the heavens.
"Annually we sell an average of 200
telescopes . for amateur use. They
range in size from the hand glass,
with 1-inch lens, to the glass that Is
supported on a tripod and has a lens
3 to 3 Inches In diameter. Larger
lenses than the 3 inch size are sel
dom bought by amateurs. They are
for professional use."
