Late declines of wheat prices
were to the face of indications of
some pick-up in Canadian export
business, estimated at fully 1,
000,000 bushels, and notwith
standing also that rural market

Compost Heap Is
Aid to Gardeners
Grass Clippings, Leaves,
Weeds May Be Used
f For Purpose
Every good gardener, whether
Interested In flowers or Tegeta
bles or both, will usually have a
compost heap somewhere about
the premises, says R. E. Stephen
son, associate professor of soils
at Oregon State college.
The heap may be hidden by the
garage, behind some shrubbery or
In some other inconspicuous spot,
but wherever it is. every kind of
waste material about the prem
ises should go into it.- Grass
clippings, leaves, weeds, the dead
stalks of flowers and vegetable!,
and similar material all make fine
compost. But Professor Stephen
son issues one warning put no
diseased plant growth In the com
post heap, on penalty of spread
ing the disease throughout the
garden.
It is best to keep the compost
heap mq,Ist, but not water-logged.
A few handsful of sulfate of am
monia, superphosphate and lime
added to the compost occasionally
will cause the material to rot
more quickly and will help to
make a better fertilizer. Also a
few shovels of rich soil on the
heap wlireave moisture and inoc
ulate the compost, Stephenson
says.
Xo Objectionable Features
There are no objectionable fea
tures to composting, no odor
and no files, Stephenson points
out. The heat produced by com
post properly handled kills lar
vae and insects which might oth
erwise appear.
If not enough other material is
available, and one wishes to do so,
one may purchase straw or even
clover or alfalfa hay for making
compost, he says. If straw is used
It Is best to place a layer of
straw six or eight Inches thick.
Then wet it down, add some fer
tilizer and soil, and another layer
of straw, until a neap aoout six

fate of ammonia, SO pounds of
superphosphate and SO pounds of
ground limestone are needed. A
ton of straw will, make about
three tons of wet compost In
about three, months time.
If one does not care to compost,
he may purchase rotted manure
and use the lawn clippings and
leaves for mulching without com
posting, Stephenson says. Leaf
mold Is also good. But pretty
flowers and good gardens are dif
ficult to produce on soils that set
dry and hard easily, unless some
form of humus material is used
regularly.

Oir Soil Testing
DALLAS, Oct. 30. County
Agent W. C. Leth reports that
many requests have come to his
office this fall concerning the
testing of soil 'for acidity. He
says this Is a good time to take
soil samples where liming Is an-
ticipated. It Is necessary to dry
moist soil - before : testing and
therefore samples taken now can
be tested Immediately.
The types of soil in Polk county
vary a great deal and the amounts
of limestone required for neutral
izing vary from none to. as high
as three or four tons per acre. It
is somewhat doubtful If it is prof
itable to apply lime at the heavier
rates, but ,6oil where alfalfa Is
to be grown next spring could be
benefited, muchafby an application
this fall.
Mr. Leth statethat it is prefer
able to apply ground limestone in
the fall for spring plantings of al
falfa, but If' this is not possible
the lime should be applied at least
two weeks or , a month- before
seeding in the spring.
