and woe that it has caused.

Kansas, disked his alfalfa in May with
good results. Disking at the proper
time not only destroys the grasshopper
eggs but appears to be proper and
profitable. way of cultivating alfalfa and
increasing the yield.
Spelt is described as intermediate be-
tween wheat and barley, but usually con-
sidered a hardy variety of wheat. It is
believed to have been the chief cereal of
ancient Egypt, and to have been the rye
of the time of Moses, of Greece, and of
the Roman empire. 1t is cultivated now
mainly in Switzerland, southern
Germany, and northern Spain. If it has
been extensively tried in Kansas reports
of such trials have failed TO reach this
