CARE OF WOOD LOT.

ers is that they seem to think that the
wood lot can stand all sorts of abuse.
Now. you cannot grow a crop of timber
and a crop of grass. or let the cattle
roam through the woods, any more than
you could expect to grow two crops of
anything else and expect them to be a
success. II the timber il to do its best

Of II.
This lesson has been strongly impressed
on the minds of the owners of these
small timber lots. Those people who al

leaves and underbrush were allowed to
grow and catch and hold the snow, the
wood lots are in most cases still living
and growing today. Give the timber the
whole use of the land and 1t will well
repay you.
When and how to cut this timber 80 as
not to destroy great deal of what we.
wish to let remain, is the next question.

doing this which have been very success

the owners of timber used for paper
making do; they are beginning to study
how to grow timber as fast as possible.
or course, all dead or unthrifty trees
should be used for firewood at once, thus
giving the young and growing timber a
better chance. AS we can hardly expect
enough trees to die each year to furnish
what fire wood we need my practice is
to cut the larger trees; for IL you will ex-
anime your timber lots you will find
that one of these large trees will shade
the ground and also take SO much mois-
ture out of the soil as to dwarf a large
number of smaller trees which grow near
IT, DuI Wnen these larger trees are re-
moved the smaller ones will more than
make up In growth for the large ones
Try to remove these larger trees on
one portion of the woods at the same
time. BY this / mean do not cut tree
here and there, but cut all of the big
trees on one acre this winter, and next
winter cut on another acre. and by so
doing, If you take little pains, you can
quite often fell several trees so that
they will not destroy so many of the
smaller ones, for these are what you
want to be careful of. By exerting a lit
tie care in this matter you can keep q
splendid lot of young trees growing all
the time. If, for any reason, there are
a few thin places In the woods. II Is a
good. plan to plant In maple, ash, elm,
cottonwood or willow. These are easier
to grow than oak, but, of course, not as
good timber, with the exception Of ma
pie. as the original oaks were; so try to
keep as many of these trees growing as
possible; and the only way | have found
to keep the oak timber growing Is to
keep all live stock out OF the TIMBER
and then the young sprouts will not get
eaten off, and some acorns. which get
buried In the leaves, will grow into
sturdy oaks. This takes time, Of course.
but happens sooner than you would be-
| lieve possible.
Take some pains and pride In your
wood lot and remember 1t Is a crop just
the same as any other, and needs the
whole land to itself; and l believe that
you will find that the S, 10 or 15-acre
wood lots will give Just as good returns
as any other acres on the average farm.

the migrating chinch bugs that are COM
ing out from their winter quarters, and
they will collect upon the millet In great
numbers, and can readily be destroyed
by spraying with kerosene or by scat
tering straw over the millet and setting
fire to II.
"A great many people send to this Of
fee in the spring of the year for the
chinch bug disease, with the Idea of
scattering this disease about the fields
of wheat, and killing the insects by in
fecting them. 1t is a fact that under GER
tain climatic conditions this chinch bug
disease, which, by the way, is nothing
more nor less than a minute fungous
plant, will kill great numbers of chinch
bugs. But from seven years experience
and observation with this disease In the
wheat fields throughout the state of Mis-
souri, l am firmly convinced that the ar
tificial use of this disease by the farmer
of Missouri does very little If any, good.
IT have recently reached the conclu-
sion that the spraying with kerosene is
more effective method of combating
The insect than disease, and heartily rec
ommend its use during the coming season.
If the farmer has no modern spray pump
with the kerosene attachment, an ordi-
nary spray pump may be used; but one
must make kerosene emulsion. 1t should
be made according to the following d.
rections: Disolves one-half pound of hard
soap in one gallon of boiling soft water;
after the soap has been thoroughly dis
: solved and stirred through the water,
remove this from the fire, and add two
gallons of common kerosene or coal oil,
while the liquid Is still hot. Remove the
spray nozzle from the pump, put the
pump into this mixture, and pump the
liquid right back into itself. This will
churn It, and do so more thoroughly
than any other process which l know of.
After the emulsion has been made add
nineteen gallons of water to 1t and stir
thoroughly before spraying"
