This luiK lays its epps during June, July ami August, in nests about three or four inches under the ground. Dis turbing these nests with a common weeder after laying will of course curtail the number of worms for the next year, but will not kill auy worms already in the ground. Ex periments are being made with sul phur in various places to find wheth er or not it will offer a solution. It is our opinion that it offers the best so far in the elimination of the wire worm, but we do not know enough about It to give it our hearty recom mendation. We hope, however, to do so before another season. If the fertilizer properties of the sulphur would pay for the cost of putting the ame on the field, and also destroy the danger of worm blight, its appli cation would certainly be iwell justi fied. Let everybody help study this proposition.

(From Farm Bureau News.) There is a common idea among farmers now that in order to get the best results from summer fallowing, that plowing should be done as early as possible. For this there is three reasons: First, in the northern part of Morrow county where the soil is light and has a tendency to blow, any cultivation duing the time the soil is very wet will gradually disinteg rate this soil and make it heavier so that it will be in no danger of blow ing. We believe that there is no soil but what if properly worked, and worked sufficiently when wet, but can be rendered immune to the dan gr of sand bkiws; another reason which is often given is the storage of moisture so that you have two years moisture for one years crop This sounds all very well, but as a matter of fact does not tell the whole tale by any means. The vital prob lem in summer fallowing is the fact that in the condition which exists in the Columbia Basin, thev olcanic sen "which makes up the greater part of the soil of this basin.i sn ot suscep tible to real increase in yield thru fertilization. So far as any experi ments, which have so far been carri ed on the only way to provide sat isfactory and profitable yields is by the release of the plant food which now already exists in the land. In order to do this it has been proven by careful experiment that it is nec essary that land be plowed while it is moist, and that it lay in a condi tion of fallow during the summer and that this moisture should be con served within the soil. It is very probable that a large amount of ni trogen is gathered in the soil by soil microbes, during this summer sea son. There is no question, that if the summer fallow is handled dry and not carefully worked, but that a lot of the plant food does really dis appear in the atmosphere, but be sides this a large amount that could be released by proper cultivation for the next year's crop is not released in such a way through the action of of moisture and oxygen, that it Is available. Therefore the next year plant is starved. There is a definite and positive relation between the amount ot plant food released in the soil for a wheat crop, and the am ount of moisture which is allowed to remain in the land in the previous season.

Better weather conditions have prevailed the past week, though there was a very disagreable wind Wednesday. Crop conditions are rapidly improving, and awing to the great amount of moisture farmers are beginning to predict better crop conditions for Morrow county than have prevailed for the past two years. Much depends, of course, on the wea ther the coming two months.
