M at the wire worm lives three years
as a orni and une year as just a
common bla.k beetle, which we often
.ve the name of stink-bug. 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.

Why Early Plowing !
(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.
