' .The Surest Foundation Just a little while ago a farmer asked me If there wasn't some thing that ' "an " ordinary fellow de besides sowing fall wheat or oats, 'and ; then ' be confronted by a small crop .the next year. The answer to his question was to grow cover crops . at certain in tervals 1 because they are the farmer's surest foundation for in creased production and, since this is the cheapest method to sup ply' nitrogen and organic matter, it should be used as far as it will go.M'. t - Common purple- or Hungarian vetch' is the best'eover crop for this section, because it is thrifty and hardy'nnder a wide range of soli conditions, and it has the abil ity to secure nitrogen under con ditions, that are . adverse to other legumes; such. a somewhat acid soil. ' '- Most Essehtiarand EtpeAstv "" Wh,en a farmer stops to realize that nitrogen is the mose essen tial of all soil elements, and that it. is also the most expensive, it is then that an appfecidlon'ean be obtained of the value of a cover" crop. And. incidentally it should be remembered that a cover;, crop will provide humus, ' which Is something that cannot or- and . daily( observation, He is dinarily be bought, i- ' ' field man for' the Chas.

The farmers in the hills sow the" vetch in combina tion with 30 to 40 pounds of win ter grata, add the-' prairie and Dot torn land farmers sow the vetch as eembikation with about 4 to 50 pounds of grain. Those who have tried rye prefer it over either wheat or oats, because it makes a rapid growth and produces a large amocat of humus. - IVAN STEWART. Salem, Ore.,.

W. Ware, Pierce c6unty, Washington, oldest beekeeper In the Pacific northwest over :'85 years of age, is working on the project of producing a thornless evergreen blackberry,' and he has almost developed such a; variety. He h&s been , a beekeeper since be can remember, and he has also been a sort" of Bur bank in the world of plant . life. He has im proved many varieties of berries. Grows Them With Bees "Mr. Ware keeps his experiments in plant lffe 'going With, his .inee-keeping-gTowing among his bees both yellow and white sweet ciover, a numoer 01 varieiies 01 fruit trees, and an endless nu in ner of other things. "Bees and Hone,' Seattle, writ ingf of Mr. Ware's . work, says: "Just how Mr; Ware manages to keep set many colonies of bees right on a city lot of perhaps 100 feet square, and not get into trouble with. neighbors especially at swarming time, is a conundrum But he said he does not have any swarms, and this is his procedure ( "When the brood-chamber is plump full of brood, take three or more frames of the brood and pu( thepr in a hjye-body on top, filling both chambers with frames of Comb foundatipn. Or take the frames of brood away for a' nucleus. By this method it seem ft to satisfy the bees', or else tjieji seem to think that they .; have, swarmed. At any rate, he' says It prevents swarming for him. Of coarse he gives the strong colonies plenty of room in addition to re moving the brood. - Mr. Ware uses a sun wax Ten derer; that seems to do the wprk all right. It is similar to the old Doolittle solar wax extractor. Just why every apiary of any site does' not have -such an extractor for rendering their old ' combs and pieces of comb, we-do not under stand.
