well as some bankers do theirs, there

In the elements.
Quack grass is one Of the most perni-
cious weeds the farmer has to contend
with. Cultivation encourages and
spreads the roots. Constantly seeding
and cropping fields in the ordinary way
has tendency to Increase the area
each year. Starving is the method to
be pursued In killing this tenacious
plant. Keeping the tops down and dis
turbing the roots but little will do the
work. Small patches may be. smoth-
cred by a covering of straw. Dense
growing crops like buckwheat, millet
and rape will often choke out this
grass.
The first farmers of new country
depend largely on virgin fertility to
produce large crops. When they fall
to obtain profitable crops with indif-
ferent farming they feel that the land
has become worn out and they sell out
and go further west. In nearly every
country fertility has been Increased un-
der the best methods of farming, until
now many farms are yielding better
crops than when they were first brought
under cultivation. A Pennsylvania
farmer wrote a friend in 17T8 that
lie raised on virgin soil crop of
wheat, yielding II bushels per acre. y
The same farm this year. 1913 years
later, produced "a bushels Of wheat to
the acre. The thing that brought about
this hundred-fold increase Is Science
or common sense.

Arid Land Farming In utah. !,

Arid Land Farming In Utah.
A most Interesting account of the de-
velopment Of and farming in. Utah Is
given in recent bulletin of the Utah
Agricultural Experiment Station, and
we are told that ION all the farms the
yields with some of the crops were
such as to encourage the belief that the
deserts in the sections where the farms
are located will ultimately be reclaim
ed" The significance of this statement
becomes apparent when it is remem-
bered that in Utah alone there are
more than 1900 square miles, or near
" 45,000,0o0 acres of this arid land
which probably could never be reached
by the present systems of irrigation.
For "arld land farming" involves meth
DDS which do not count upon rainfall or
artifcially obtained moisture.

Spraying In Apple Orchards.

spraying In Apple Orchards.
From careful examination of or
chards in New York, it appears that
spraying Is valuable In proportion to
its frequency and thoroughness. From
3S1 acres of apple orchards that We're
not sprayed the yield was an average
of 32S bushels per acre, Of which only
81 per cent or 21S bushels was worth
barreling. From another lot of 352
acres sprayed once only S46 bushels
per acre We're gathered and "a per cent
were barreled. From T01 acres sprayed
twice the average yield per acre was
374 bushels, and rs per cent was bar
relied; 247 acres We're sprayed three
times, and the average yield per acre
for this area was Ala bushels. OF this
81 per cent was barreled. Note how
the yield Increased reguiarly WITH the.
number of sprayings 4, &
Other examinations showed that If
ty-four orchards unsprayed gave a cash
return of SOB per acre thirty orchards
sprayed once, gave $3.50 per acre; six
ty-four orchards sprayed twice gave
SLAB per acre; twenty-five orchards
sprayed three times gave $1S4 per acre;
six orchards sprayed four times gave
$211 an acre as the average income.
Such facts are convincing US to the
value of. frequent spraying.

The everlasting foundation of farm
Is Its fertility. Poor land grows poor
crops. Poor crops are loss to the
farmer and disappointment to the
FEEDER. Putting manure back on land
is only giving to the land what belongs
to 1t and the obligation is on the shout
sders of the farmer.

Strawberry plants that have ever
borne fruit should never be used to
start a new bed. For new bed young
plants should be used that have grown
the season previous. The plants that
have borne fruit have black, why roots,
while those that have not borne fruit
have white roots. There is no danger
of being mixed up in the matter, as the
roots tell the age of the plants to any
one who is at all familiar with them.

Hit sxettenhant il the Ribs.

e
Allen Bacon, seaman on the United
States battleship Missouri, has been a
recent visitor at his home in Elmore for
few days. Bacor's ship was one Of
those which went to the relief of Kings
ton, Jamaica. at the time Of the dis
astrous earthquake, and it seems that
he had a PERSONAL part in the memorable
irritation Of Governor Swettenham.
Bacon at the time Was petty officer
and was in charge Of few men among
the United States sailors landed to help
in the work Of removing distractions in
the streets OF Jamaica. As his squad
worked, they were annoyed by horse
man riding in upon them several times
without any regard to their safety, and
at the third or fourth repetition Of the
trick Bacon headed the horseman off by
a sharp blow from the fiat side of his
cutlass laid along the gentIeman's ribs.
The horseman, much 20 Baeons surprise,
turned out to be Governor Swettenhanl
himself, and after due inquiry on board
ship. Bacon lost his petty citizenship.
Bacon says that Swettcnham rode the
streets during those days like mount
ed maniac, and that more than one luck
lsss native fell beneath the iron hoofs
Of his charger
